NEW YORK — Mary-Kate Olsen, (search) the brunette half of the Olsen twins entertainment empire, has entered a treatment facility "to seek professional help for a health-related issue," her publicist said Tuesday.

Olsen's publicist, Michael Pagnotta, would not comment on those reports.
Us Weekly said Olsen is anorexic (search).
Mary-Kate and her sister, Ashley, turned 18 on June 13. They recently graduated from high school and plan to attend New York University in the fall.

I was just thinking the other day that they were starting to look like the Barbie twins just with no silicone all sucked up. It’s sad to see

That is indeed very sad.
Anorexia is an awful, misunderstood disease that kills too many of our youth.
I wish her all the best, and hope she recovers from this.:(

Here's some interesting info along those lines....
Three percent of adolescent and adult women and 1% of men have anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, or binge-eating disorder.
A young woman with anorexia is 12 times more likely to die than other women her age without anorexia.
Anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge-eating disorder are diseases that affect the mind and body simultaneously.
About half of those with anorexia or bulimia have a full recovery, 30% have a partial recovery, and 20% have no substantial improvement.
Forty percent of fourth graders report that they diet either "very often" or "sometimes."
More than 5 million Americans experience eating disorders.
In the United States, conservative estimates indicate that after puberty, 5-10 million girls and women and 1 million boys and men are struggling with eating disorders including anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, or borderline conditions.
Between 10% and 15% of those diagnosed with bulimia nervosa are men.
Fifteen percent of young women have substantially disordered eating attitudes and behaviors.
Approximately 90-95% of anorexia nervosa sufferers are girls and women.
Approximately 80% of bulimia nervosa patients are female.
Anorexia nervosa is one of the most common psychiatric diagnoses in young women.
Between 1-2% of American women suffer from anorexia nervosa.
Bulimia nervosa affects 1-3% of middle and high school girls and 1-4% of college age women.
Anorexia nervosa typically appears in early to mid-adolescence.

It's very difficult to make the person understand they have a problem. They hide their appearance, and will constantly view themselves as "fat" and often will focus on a single area on their body (their butt, arms, thighs, etc) as a standout area of excessive weight.
Kind of like an addiction, in that the affected individual wont admit to having a problem.
An "intervention" is usually required.
