Demi Moore halts Lovelace film after seizure triggered by anorexia

Demi Moore recently has been looking increasingly gaunt and frail, and the Daily Mirror says that the too-slender star is undergoing treatment for "anorexia as well as other issues that caused her seizure," which resulted in a rush to the hospital. 

In the January 26 article, the Daily Mirror said that the anorexia had "triggered" the seizure. It also quoted a source as saying that Demi "has not taken care of her health at all lately and has lost a ton of weight."  Demi recently described herself as having a "love-hate relationship" with her body, an ambivalence sometimes felt by those with eating disorders. And eating disorders such as anorexia can result in seizures, according to the Something Fishy eating disorders website.
