Anorexia bores warrior princess

   Actress Lucy Lawless, who battles evildoers in the show Xena: Warrior
Princess, has a blunt message for anorexics.

   "To any girls out there who are thinking of it, or are just getting into it,
just quit your bloody nonsense," the New Zealander tells the upcoming issue of
USA Weekend. 
 
Lawless says she is tired of hearing about the disorder.

   "I've got to say anorexia sort of bores me," she said. "You think you're
going to get respect, attention, blah blah blah, and it's quite the opposite."

   Lawless speaks from experience. "I used to quite like bulimia. I used to
think that was fun."

   Anorexics starve themselves while bulimics binge then vomit.
