IRELAND BALDWIN: THE DOWNSIDE OF HAVING A GORGEOUS MOTHER

Sure, it’s nice to be genetically blessed by having Kim Basinger for a mother, but it can create some insecurities, according to Ireland Baldwin, 24. Ireland recently celebrated six years of NOT having eating disorders on Instagram. When she was a teen she suffered from body issues including anorexia and bulimia. Now she admits: “It wasn’t worth turning down so many sides of fries!” When she first started modeling, Ireland says she was very insecure and never felt thin enough. Food became a big problem. It took some work, but she finally got a grip on it and is able to enjoy her life now. She wants other young girls to know “You can do it too!”

WILLIS SISTERS: WHAT’S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?

Rumer Willis (right) and her younger sister Tallulah attended the InStyle Max Mara Women in Film celebration, but Tallulah doesn’t look like she’s in a celebratory mood. In fact, she appears to be very thin and for her, that’s not a good sign. She’s been in and out of rehab for substance abuse and eating disorder, so being super skinny indicates that she is struggling. Hope she gets a grip.

PEACHES GELDOF DIDN’T STARVE HERSELF TO DEATH

Peaches Geldof’s family obviously WISHES that she succumbed to “extreme dieting” as opposed to drugs and that’s why the theory is being floated around. When a 25 year old mother dies of drug abuse, it implies that she didn’t think about her children or husband. Or didn’t care enough to give up drugs. As tragic as Peaches death is, it’s also selfish. If she dieted herself to death, it would seem like it almost wasn’t her fault. Sadly, Peaches was another undereducated and overindulged celebrity kid with little direction in life – except to have a good time. Drugs are the most likely reason for her early death. And the children will suffer.

CHEESEBURGERS DIDN’T FORCE KESHA INTO REHAB

We were waiting for the truth to come out about Kesha’s checking into rehab for an “eating disorder.” Absurd. She’s not too thin OR too fat, but she’s out of shape like a middle aged beer drinker. Drinking is her real problem. Kesha recently lamented that male rockers can celebrate their alcohol consumption but females are frowned upon. She and her boyfriend broke up last year and she’s been out and about partying hard ever since. Her mother even joins her on many occasions. Boozing is a big part of her songwriting and her wild reputation so it won’t be easy to give it up.

TRACEY GOLD AND CARNIE WILSON THROW THEIR WEIGHT AROUND ON “CELEBRITY WIFE SWAP”

When we heard about the new ABC reality show Celebrity Wife Swap we wondered whether celebrities would actually embarrass themselves and cooperate, but obviously they will – for the right price. The premier episode on January 2, features two celebs with opposite eating disorders – Carnie Wilson (singer from Wilson Phillips) who battles obesity despite stomach stapling surgery, and “Growing Pains” actress Tracey Gold, an admitted anorexic. The three day “swap” reveals that Carnie is a casual housewife who doesn’t mind dirty dishes piling up. Tracey is portrayed as a neat freak who makes lists and runs a tight ship at home. Opposite marriages reveal the big differences in their husbands. Carnie ends up envying Tracey’s close and communicative marriage. We’re already hooked and plan to tune in.

WHAT’S THE REAL REASON BEHIND DEMI LOVATO’S REHAB TREATMENT?

According to our clever friend at The Real Estalker, this is the Sherman Oaks home that Demi Lovato presented to her parents on her 18th birthday last August. Her family is living comfortably in the 4000 sq foot home while she occupies the 820 ft guest cottage- far from prying eyes. Demi is currently in a rehab in Chicago that concentrates on helping young women with various physical and mental disorders. When Demi shocked everyone by checking herself into rehab, many vague explanations were offered – from bullying, to eating disorders, to anxiety and depression. Today rumors of her using cocaine surfaced. We hear the real problem (which explains everything) is WAY more interesting – and bound to leak out sooner or later.
