Mary-Kate Olsen Seeks Treatment
Reuters has announced that Mary-Kate Olsen has entered a
treatment program for an eating disorder reported to be
anorexia. The New York Minute star, who last week celebrated
her 18th birthday with twin sister Ashley, has been a
tabloid sensation of late given her frail figure; Mary-Kate
herself comically addressed the issue when the twins hosted
Saturday Night Live back on May 15th by ordering an extra,
playing her, to "eat a sandwich." Michael Pagnotta, the
twins' publicist, has stated that Mary-Kate "is thankful for
the encouragement and support of her friends and family, who
are with her every step of the way." He added that she
entered an unnamed facility during the last week and is
expected to receive treatment for approximately one month.
This means Ashley will make a solo voyage to Australia and
New Zealand later this month to promote New York Minute, the
Olsens' first feature film, which had a disappointing run at
the American box-office. -- Prepared by IMDb Staff
