MARY-KATE OLSEN IN REHAB: BATTLING DRUGS AND ANOREXIA
EXCLUSIVE DETAILS OF MARY-KATE'S BATTLE WITH DRUGS PLUS PHOTOS IN THE NEW ISSUE OF STAR, ON SALE WEDNESDAY, JUNE 30
(New York, June 29, 2004) - Star magazine reveals that Mary-Kate Olsen- who along with twin sister Ashley, form a multi-millionaire power duo-is being treated for a cocaine addiction in an exclusive facility in Utah.
Mary-Kate is currently residing at the exclusive Cirque Lodge in Utah, which is known for its scenic mountain views and a new-age, intensive-therapy approach to treating drug addiction. She was checked in by her father Dave Olsen on June 11, and spent her 18th birthday there by herself on June 13.
The recommended 30-day program costs $29,850, and patients are free to come and go as they please, if their counselor agrees to give them a pass.
The facility's website says it treats eating disorders in addition to drug and alcohol addictions. As it's been widely reported, Mary-Kate is also battling anorexia.

So, we'll see where it goes. If she is an addict, she has a longass road ahead of her. Even boozing will be a problem. But the best of luck to her, and of course to her image :) | StaggerLee

I do find it morbidly funny that they put "IT'S DRUGS!" on the cover, like a doctor announcing the birth of a child. I'm sorry, but anyone who actually reads this crap and takes it seriously has to be an idiot. I don't care who the new Editor-in-Chief is, they're still tabloids producing lies and speculation. Hearing the whole "Star is reformed, they got a new Editor!" thing is like a couple years back when they tried to push the fact that the creator and/or editor (or something) of the Enquirer was a Harvard graduate as if that meant anything. | Sterling Golden

Agreed. While obviously not everything is going to be 100% accurate, it may surprise you to see how often it is correct considering it's a tabloid.
If it was Weekly World News it would have been "It's not Anorexia - It's EXTRA ARMS" or something. | fuelinjected

I can't believe people are bashing the good name of the Weekly World News. I mean, where else would I read about Bill Clinton hiring a three-breasted intern? Or read about the 400 pound cat that went on Atkins? Or Bat Boy, for crying out loud!
It's my favorite source of reporting this side of Fox News... | dunkndollaz

And plus, these drug things are always denied at the outset... then a few years later, on the VH1 "Behind the Music" special, Mary Kate will be like, "Yeah, I was tooting about $5,000 a week up my nose..."
As for tabloids, I believe the National Enquirer broke so much stuff on Lewinsky five years ago that the New York Times ended up citing them. Of course, some of it's bullshit, but as avid dirtsheet readers, we should be accustomed to this.

It just ANGERS me when any publication puts up speculation as news. Sure, it's probably true, but what if it's not? What publications like The Star, The Enquirer, and their ilk do to journalism with these cover stories is unbelievable, and I really think that they should at least make an ATTEMPT to model themselves after a more respectable, non-dirtsheet newspaper that reports ACTUAL TRUE NEWS ITEMS.
