EXCERPT

COMMENTARY
Can never report the bulimia statements enough!

PRIMARY SOURCE

[snip]

    Statuesque 5'10" Xena star LUCY LAWLESS is sick and tired of today's eating
disorder-plagued Hollywood actresses - and doesn't care who knows it.

    "Anorexia sort of bores me," she admits. "To any girls who are out there
thinking of it, or are just getting into it, just quit your bloody nonsense!
Enough already! It's a total waste of time. "

    The outspoken New Zealander speaks with a bit of experience.

    "I used to quite like bulimia," she says. " I used to think that was fun,
but not now. You think you're going to get respect, attention, blah, blah, blah,
and it's quite the opposite.

    People are turned off."
