KELLY RIPA
 Live with Regis co-star Kelly Ripa struggled through a devastating anorexia nightmare before her second pregnancy. The perky 5-foot-4 blonde dieted down to a skinny 85 pounds. I always thought that slender was sexy, she said, but I learned the hard way that I can be too slender.
During her first pregnancy, Kelly gained 65 pounds. She tipped the scales at 170 pounds and viewers of her hit soap, All My Children, wrote nasty, insulting fat pig type letters that hurt her deeply. After son Michaels birth in 1997, she dieted with a vengeance.
She wanted to look like Barbie, one insider commented, so she took her dieting to an extreme.
CELEBRITY FOOTNOTE
 Leave it to Angelina Jolie to have the last word:
When other little girls wanted to be ballet dancers, I kind of wanted to be a vampire.
