I just read that Oprah is going to have a show about eating disorders on her new network. Okay, I've cleary been in a coma or something because I didn't even know Oprah was launching her own network. Anyway, I know most people are not happy to hear about this show, "Inside Rehab," which take the cameras inside an ED treatment center. I, for one, can NOT wait to see this show when it starts airing next January. Would I want to be on tv if I were in a treatment center? Hell no. Do I necessarily agree with having cameras in these types of facilities? Probably not, but I'm glad they're doing it so I can watch it. I love ED stuff.
