Ashlee Simpson Flirted with Anorexia

Pop star Ashlee Simpson admitted she had a "minor" eating disorder when she was 11 and training to become a ballerina at the School of American Ballet.

Simpson tells Cosmopolitan magazine, "I was around a lot of girls with eating disorders, and I actually had a minor one myself ... It was about six months of not eating too much at all. I was 11 and five feet two and about 70 pounds... My parents stepped in and made me eat. That really helped a lot." (Contactmusic.com)
