As many of you have heard by now, Amy Winehouse’s father has been speaking to the press about his daughter’s recent drug and legal troubles.

The thing that caught my attention was his claim that Amy is suffering from bulimia, among other things.

Mr Winehouse said his daughter has cut down on her drinking in the past year but is still battling bulimia and drug addiction.

(Bolding added by me for emphasis).

Well, this is news! I can’t recall ever hearing about Amy’s bulimia in the past. Now her father has outed her.

Anyway, I hope that she gets help with her eating disorder and drug addiction. The girl is immensely talented and has such a wonderful future ahead of her if she cleans up her act!

What do YOU all think?

I admit up front that I am confused over this story. Since when did anyone say that Catherine Zeta Jones was anorexic? Yet someone did, because now she is very publicly claiming that no, she is NOT anorexic. In fact, she loves bread.

She told People: “Michael was laughing at me. He told me what (people had) said - that stories say I’m anorexic.

Do I look anorexic?

How could I ever, ever be anorexic?

I looooove bread.”

But these days, “I’m just working out and not chomping down what I usually chomp down.”

Anyway, this makes absolutely no sense, especially since Catherine was interviewed only a couple weeks ago for Women’s Diet and Fitness Magazine. Based on that interview, she seems to have a relatively healthy approach to food.

^^^Brittany at the Hairspray premiere earlier this year

Here we go again… yet another celebrity is “coming out” about an eating disorder they had while they were a teen…

Brittany Snow, (from Hairspray and John Tucker Must Die), claims that she once thought dieting was her “best friend” and got down to 85 pounds at age 15.

It all started when she began work on the soap opera Guiding Light at age 12. Brittany noticed that most of the actresses on the show were on diets themselves. So she started a diet herself - the “Eat Right For Your Blood Type” diet. She lost about 10 pounds and immediately started receiving compliments.

Soon it became an obsession of sorts. Brittany couldn’t get enough.

“It kind of progressed into this thing where I needed to always be dieting and losing weight and more weight,” she says in the site’s interview series Half of Us, which addresses mental health issues and ways to get help. “It became my life and I didn’t have any friends and this was definitely my best friend and I held on to it really tight.”

At 15, Snow was stepping onto the scale 10 to 15 times a day and weighed only 85 lbs.

Brittany finally decided to get help after she started cutting herself. She admits it was a cry for attention but learned to deal with things after rehab.

OK… this is clearly a publicity stunt. I mean, who cares? It was over 7 years ago!

So who is next to come out of the “teen ED closet”? Anyone want to take a guess?

And for the record, it’s not that I don’t believe all these celebrities about their previous bouts of teen ED’s. After all, I don’t know any one person who isn’t eating disordered in some way or another. But why do they feel the need to come out about it years later? All it does is fuel young girls into wanting to copy or be like their idols, IMHO.

Poor Britney. Reports about her erratic eating and exercising behavior are now flooding the media airwaves fast and furiously.

I already covered the tabloid story about Britney’s weird, eating-disorder type of behavior. Now there are new reports coming out that suggest this has been going on for a long time - even in her “hot body” days.

Back when Britney was a size 0 and had abs of steel, she would do about 1,000 sit-ups a day. She would often pig out on junk food for a few minutes, then suddenly freak out and start exercising like crazy when she realized what she was doing.

Earlier this year when Britney did lose some weight (after rehab), she was taking dance classes nearly every day, but not eating much of anything. Britney would go through fast-food drive-thrus, but not eat any of the food she purchased.

Brit lost quite a lot of weight while she was at Promises,” said the snitch. “When she came out she was planning her comeback tour at the House of Blues and really wanted to get back to the girl she was. But on top of taking lots of dance classes, Britney was barely eating…”

I seriously hope that any young girls who are still looking up to Britney decide not to copy her latest stunt…

OK Magazine is reporting in their latest issue that Britney Spears was so upset after seeing herself at the VMA’s (calling herself a fat pig) that she refused to eat a thing. Her words to her “friend” (who leaked to the tabloids) were:

“I’ll starve myself because I’m fat.”

The article goes on to claim that Britney has been suffering from severe restriction-and -binging food cycles for quite some time now. For example, one moment she will eat tons of junk food. The next, she would restrict herself to under 500 calories and do thousands of crunches. She is also allegedly addicted to diet pills and high-energy drinks, plus excuses herself quite frequently from the table when dining with friends.

Not to mention the bulimia rumors that have been going on for a while now…

On September 12th, Britney sent Alli Sims to the local Ralph’s grocery store for this impressive list of junk food:

• Ice-cream cake
• Haagen-Dazs
• Coca-cola classic soda
• frozen pizzas - pepperoni
• Minute maid orange juice
• Oreo cookies family pack
• three large bags of Doritos

What does this sound like to you all? I think she is suffering from a variety of eating disorders (among other things).
