Just saw an article in one of the tabloids this week about Paula. Seems she's
more anorexic than Calista. Says she's 5'9" and weighs only 105 lbs. -- and
her weight continues to drop. Claims she's still broke up over Scott Wolf
dumping her.

She looks terrible in the pictures, but then she looks sickly on PO5.

That's odd. But of course, it's a tabloid. Even if she is really that
skinny, she could have something else wrong with her. Even emotional stress
can lead to not eating, which doesn't necessarily mean it's anorexia.

Wow....that is too skinny....I knew she was thin but I had no idea she was *that*
thin. I wonder it she tries to stay that thin or if it just happened. Sometimes
people really do lose alot of weight without meaning to, but if it was getting
that out of control, I would think she should have done something about it.

Yeah, completely!!! I had sort of noticed her seeming a bit "slim" in the
past few months... Then she wasn't on-air for a few weeks, then suddenly
tonight she was in a pretty tight-fitting outfit and EXTREMELY thin, to a
worrying extent... You never know if the tabloid stuff is true (didn't she
and SW break up years ago and remain friends?), but something definitely
happened -- I was sort of hoping she'd lost weight for a movie or
something... But on this week's show it was very obvious... Hopefully it's
nothing serious...

Totally agree. The scene with her and Bailey in tonight's episode--
man, it really made me queasy to see how skeletal she looks.

You got that right. I was wondering when the press was going to pick up on
her emaciation--I guess she's not as big a star as Calista Flockhart. I saw
an old episode of PO5 on Lifetime or some channel like that the other day,
and she really looked much better. She looks like a famine victim now...hope
she gets some help.

their history together is that they dated and lived together back in 1996. i

Good point. having just seen some lifetime reruns I have to admit Paula looked
shockingly thin and ill on the most recent show. I found it quite sad. she is a
stunning women. I don't know if she reads this newsgroup but if she dose please
paula,take care of your self.
contrary to what Hollywood tells you you can be to thin.ask Karen Carpenter.

Like others I hadn't had a good look at Paula since she hadn't been on
lately and I missed the Rosie show. It's apparent to me now too, how
thin she's gotten. In the first couple seasons of the show she was
absolutely beautiful. She was never a toothpick, but she looked great.
I'm not sure what's happened. I don't know if it's a medical condition,
emotional problems, or if it's how she wants to look. I also loved
seeing her with straight hair again, but to see her that skinny worried
me. I really hope everything is ok with her, because Paula really is a
beautiful and talented actress.

She was never that skinny! At the beginning of season 5 she was
wearing tight shirts and stuff and she was not as skinny as she is
now. Her face was fuller and so was everywhere else. Not to mention
that when they put her in a sweater today, she still looks like a
skeleton.

No way. She actually used to have what would pass for a fairly voluptuous
figure as TV or modelling goes. She looks really ill.

I hope so too. She really is talented. What's creepy is that E! ran a bio on
Karen Carpenter again this week. That was so sad, but now there are a lot of
potential Karen Carpenters. Frightening, really.

Wolf seems to have a history of dumping women.

After dumping Alyssa Milano, he dated -- then dumped Paula (according to
gossip).

True, but keep in mind he didn't watch an episode to find this out, I

Maybe Paula is purposely losing weight, I dont think POF has had a girl on with
an eating disorder, so maybe they told paula to lose weight, like Matthew did
when his character had cancer. She will move in with Charlie and he will

I agree. OTOH, given that she *is* this thin and it is an issue of concern, it would
be a storyline worth pursuing if it didn't hit close to home (or if it did but the
actress was willing/ready to cope with it).

I, too, have noticed that aside from the apparent weight change, her overall
appearance has some of the characteristics associated with eating disorders (for
example, what anorexia and/or bulimia can do to a person's hair), as does Calista
Flockhart's, although in both cases there would be other possible causes. It's
awkward as a public issue, because on the one hand, people can be pretty harsh and
presumptive about a person who is just very thin, and OTOH, people can be slow to
recognize signs a person is endangered. While neither PD's nor CF's life is really
our business nor within -- for most of us -- our power to influence, public awareness
can help people recognize the same problem in people around them. I think about
Tracey Gold, from "Growing Pains," every time these discussions come up, and of
Cynthia Rowland McClure, an Oklahoma TV reporter who now speaks publicly about
bulimia and related issues. I guess it boils down to: (1) If these two women do not
have an eating disorder, I hope they are otherwise in good health and that it becomes
more evident; (2) if either of them does, I hope she begins to get the help she
needs; and (3) either way, I hope the discussion causes people to turn from the focus
on national figures and famous faces to people in their own lives who may need wise
counsel.

Yes, I was also troubled by her extreme weight loss. People photograph 10
pounds heavier anyway so you can imagine how thin she really has become.

The week or so before I also was saddened to see the actor who plays Justin
looking very thin, immaciated. They also shot him in profile instead of more
head on, and in shadow, as if to have him away from the lights.

Has he been ill? He looks either anorexic
or perhaps he has another serious health problem. Does anyone know.

My concern for both of these actors has led me to this newsgroup. Please
respond via direct e-mail to me.

Thanks,

Me too.......I was wondering if he could *not* notice how thin she's

needs it and if he can.

Also, you should keep in mind that the camera quite literally adds about
15 pounds to your appearance. It shocked me that Paula looked so thin.
I hope she can overcome whatever is ailing her.

That's a very good point, and it reminds me of an example.

I remember an episode of "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman" that featured the
original Colleen, played by Erika Flores. The story was about Colleen being
teased for having big breasts. As it turned out, Erika really had really big
breasts, especially for a petite girl (at least a D cup, possibly a DD). Soon
after that episode, Erika left the series with no official explanation. No
one would say why she left. People asked for almost a year after she left.
She disappeared.

Now she has resumed acting, appearing most recently on "The New Love Boat" --
as a brunette (her real hair color) -- and with noticeably smaller breasts. I
wonder if she was so sensitive about her size that she got them reduced just
like Soleil Moon Frye did.

Very good advice. I hope that if PD is anorexic, that she is *not* in denial.
But it's just like Bailey and his alcoholism: you can't help those who need
help until they first recognize they have a problem and want to change.

This reminds me of something else: Tracey Gold, who as Carol on "Growing Pains"
was teased by her tv brothers (Kirk Cameron and Jeremy Miller) for being
overweight. She later became bulimic.

She looks the same to me. I actually think that it's the difference in
wardrobe. In earlier episodes her character tended to wear baggier clothes.

I think not. Did you see her knees last night when her and Griffin were
walking into the courthouse or whatever to testify on Slowen's placment?
Knobby, bony--scary!! The episode I saw on Lifetime when she was still dating
Charlie, she was wearing tights, and looked much meatier.

In the scene where she and Griffan are walking into the court house, her
legs look like toothpicks. She's still very pretty, though.
