One of the Olsen twins has reportedly entered a treatment facility to seek help for an eating related issue.
According to 'Access Hollywood' May Kate Olsen's publicist has issued a statement saying that the actress has 'recently entered a treatment facility th seek professional help for a eating related issue. She is thankful for the encouragement and support of her friends and family who are with her every step of the way.'
Mary Kate entered the center within the last 10 days.
The teen millionaire still plans to attend New York University this fall and will be traveling later this summer, according to the statement.
Mary Kate and her sister, Ashley Olsen, have made headlines recently for their first big screen effort 'New York Minute' and for reaching their 18th birthday.
Some guy I know commented that he thought they were too skinny. I got upset with him, since I was thin at 18, also. But, maybe (as in this guy's case) a blind squirrel can find a nut once in a while.

I hope she gets the help that she needs. Too many girls walk around with a warped self image. Worse to be in Hollyweird where if you look like Mary Kate, you are expected to look even better. Heck they even made Jessica Simpson lose more weight for music videos.
probably caught on camera eating a steak.
Doesn't surprise me. I always thought one of them looked awfully thin to begin with.
There was something in the National Enquirer about her eating disorder a month ago. They are starting to have more accurate reporting than the New York Times.
One of those tabloids at the checkout stand had a photo of her on the cover. You could clearly count her backbones and ribs. She appeared to have no fat padding. Her eyes were extremely sunken. She truly looked anorexic. If it is true, she has made a wise move. With no meat on her bones and fat pads depleted, organ systems would be used for fuel.
Then again, some of those tabloids have a habit of pasting celebrity heads on pictures of other people's bodies . . .
I knew it when a saw on of those photos, she looked guant.
That was probably the same one I saw. No, I don't think it was a cut and paste job because they were doing tv interviews recently when they turned 18(?) and they both were nothing but skin and bones. And to think girls look up to them and will be starving themselves too. Whatever happened to being healthy and normal? Sorry, folks, the camera does not add 10 lbs. The camera shows you exactly the way you are, nothing more, nothing less. Accept it. The Olsen twins have everthing in the world, yet they're killing themselves. Remember Karen Carpenter?
People may have everything (material wise), but deep down inside can be very un-happy!
Yes. Sad. I hope this turns out like it did for Tracey Gold (Growing Pains.)
Tabloids say it is cocaine addiction.
