Mary-Kate Olsen Hospitalized With Kidney Infection

Mary-Kate Olsen has been hospitalised with a kidney infection.

The 21-year-old actress was rushed to a New York hospital emergency room yesterday (19.11.07), sparking fears she may be battling an eating disorder again.

The star's representative Nicole Caruso said yesterday: "Mary-Kate has a kidney infection. She was admitted to the emergency room earlier today. She is resting comfortably and will be released in the next day or so."

Mary-Kate - who checked into Utah's Cirque Lodge rehab facility to be treated for an eating disorder in 2004, dismissing claims it was for a drug problem - recently insisted she was feeling healthy.

She said at the time: "Mentally, physically, I feel pretty on top of my game right now."

Last year, Lindsay Lohan revealed she developed a kidney infection while she was suffering from bulimia.

Mary-Kate, who along with her twin sister earned $40 million 2006, previously admitted she still has issues with her body and is reluctant to be seen in a bikini.

She said: "I would love to be able to swim in the ocean in Malibu. But that is asking for a bikini shot. That's inviting something that I don't want to happen. I don't need to be on a 'Who's Skinny, Who's Fat, Who's Looking Healthy, Who's Not Eating?' list."
Why am I not surprised that she has body image issues and troubles with eating disorders? She's been in the spotlight and subject to scrutiny since she was a baby. It's sad she won't go to the beach because she doesn't want to end up on somebody's who's skinny list. I'm guessing that's why she wears big dresses like the one below.



I hope she can work through her image and eating disorder issues. She's a lovely girl from what I've seen of her on TV and interviews. I hope she recovers soon.
