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.
