Here’s Allegra Versace with her mother Donatella and Janet Jackson at the “Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy” Costume Institute Gala at The Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday night (May 5th).

As you probably know, Allegra has been battling anorexia for a few years now. In these pictures, she still appears to be very thin, but she looks a lot healthier than she did last year. She’s such a beautiful girl, I’m really happy that she’s slowly recovering!

Last week’s National Enquirer has an article about Hollywood’s “deadliest diets”.

On the cover, there’s Janet Jackson (who dropped 72 pounds in a relatively short time), Britney Spears (”pills cause heart attack drama” - I haven’t heard about that story yet), Tara Reid (who was supposedly secretly hospitalized), Jodie Foster (whose “sudden weight loss” might not be as dramatic as they make it sound) and Beth Ditto (the “guess who?” on the left, who apparently eats a whole bucket of fried chicken and two cartons of ice cream for dinner).

I’m not sure how true these stories (and how real the photos) are, but I agree that eating too little (or too much) can be very dangerous, and even deadly in some cases.

Janet Jackson was hospitalized on Monday night (March 10), after complaining of “shortness of breath”.

The ‘Feedback‘ singer was taken to Los Angeles’ Cedar-Sinai Medical Center to be treated for flu symptoms.

Janet’s representative insists the 41-year-old star’s condition is not serious, saying: “Janet is fine. She is just battling this flu like everyone else.” [FemaleFirst]

I wish Janet to have a quick recovery!

Janet Jackson says she’s finally happy with her body. After years of worrying about her fluctuating weight, Janet has learned not to worry so much about her appearance anymore.

Janet said: “I like myself a lot more than I used to. I had a very difficult time in my 20s especially. It was hard for me to look in the mirror and find something that I liked about myself.

There is a moment when you get older when your metabolism slows down and you don’t feel like working out any more, so you don’t keep yourself fit anymore, but that’s your decision. Why should you be judged for it?” [FemaleFirst]

Janet attributes her positive attitude change to her boyfriend, music producer Jermaine Dupri, who she’s been dating since 2002.

Janet Jackson has decided to write a book about her struggle with weight across the years.

“I’m writing a book on my journey of weight loss and weight gain,” Jackson, 41, told PEOPLE at the Hollywood premiere of Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married?”[I’m] really coming from the soul with it, and what I was going through at different times in my life and what possibly brought it about for myself,” she says of the yet untitled book. She’ll also include in the book what she did “nutrition-wise” to slim down “when she needed to,” but warns, “It’s different for everyone.”

Janet put on 60 lbs. last year.

“I could not believe how big I was, how heavy I really was,” she said. “I would see myself in the mirror, but I wouldn’t look too often. I didn’t want to get used to that image.” [Source]

It’s obvious she lost the weight again, as she looked great at the “Why Did I Get Married?” movie premiere.
