But I'm sort of pissed at all of the news channels and magazines for reporting this. I'm quite sure the family wanted to keep this private. Though they are of a great interest to the public, I don't think this is something that should be reported on... it's not right. I was just at the CNN website. Under top stories, they reported on a hostage beheading, the Peterson case, and Mary Kate's eating disorder. That's screwed up
I think this sort of publicity is the price you have to pay for being (or wanting to be) a celebrity. Obviously the Olsens want to be a part of Hollywood and they've made what seems like a million little movies, a clothing line, make-up line, ect. so it's to be expected that this kind of news (like J. Lo's wedding, Colin Powell's surgery, Rush Limbaugh's drug addiction) would be noteworthy.
Plus the Olsen's are kind of like 'America's little darlings' so people want to know if there is trouble in Olsen-land. If CNN doesn't report on it, they might be considered 'out-of-touch'

u know wut, that could have bought that on.....
I have a twin sis and I do think shes prettier then me although we look so much alike.... it does make me a lil insecure sometimes
I feel really bad for her and wish her the best. You know a few years back they both looked equally beautiful to me, but recently I started seeing Ashley as being prettier b/c Mary Kate just started to look different to me. Now I know why.

I've read that MK is definitely the more competitive one...and the more outgoing one, where Ashley is seen as the sophisticate.
There was also note about how the publicity is uncalled for...but you know what, their reps made comment of it - so it is pretty much fair game right now. I know, I know, it's unfortunate...but perhaps it's good that people know she's getting help. And it's actually her family that intervened... I read in People that she's been suffereing from this for about two years now. Here's an exerp:
<It isn't the first time her family has tried to aid Mary-Kate, whom close pals call MK. According to one source, after the actress got into a minor car accident about a year and a half ago her father tried motivating her to eat by telling her she couldn't get her black Range Rover back until she gained some weight. Another source says the family hired someone to monitor Mary-Kate's eating. "Sometimes she was taken out of school to eat," says a former classmate at Campbell Hall high school. "During the last year she had an adult eating with her most of the time. Everyone knew how skinny she was.">
It IS tough, and it's so very unfortunate how competitive and cut-throught the entertainment industry is about thinness.

Wow. She's just like every other teenager. She certainly does have her problems though. I don't think others should expect alot from her. She's just a young girl still.
