   Lindsay Lohan’s skeletal frame has ignited rumors about a possible eating disorder again

Lindsay Lohan is not suffering from an eating disorder and she’s not on a liquid diet, she just loses weight faster than most women when she’s under stress. Nevertheless, few things could explain the skeletal frame she revealed on a recent shopping outing, when her slender arms and prominent ribcage were put on display in a backless maxi dress, as E! Online informs.

Although the “Mean Girls” star has lost plenty of weight in recent months – all because of stress, as she repeatedly said – it seems that her breakup from Samantha Ronson has taken quite a toll on her already thin frame.

From what the pictures surfaced on the Internet show, Lindsay is now almost as skinny as she was back in the days of her friendship with Nicole Richie and stylist Rachel Zoe, when she was often targeted for being anorexic.

“The actress looked way skinny when she was snapped yesterday while shopping for sunglasses. Perhaps LiLo’s breakup and late nights out are taking a toll? Since her split with Sam Ronson, she’s been clubbing all over Hollywood and hit up Vegas last weekend for the premiere of Peepshow.” the aforementioned celebrity publication writes. However, other glossy magazines are not that understanding, for lack of a better term, with many claiming that, if this is not proof that Lindsay needs help to get her life back in order, including her eating habits, then nothing else is.

For all she cares, the media could talk about anything, from her violent rows with her ex to her weight. As Lindsay herself says in an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, which will be aired shortly, she did not get into the business of acting to be a celebrity thanks to the paparazzi. In this sense, she would be happy if everything just went away tomorrow, because she would still have what she always wanted, that is, her passion for making movies.

“I didn’t get into this business to be a celebrity on the cover of tabloids and I’ve been a target and I’m not that interesting. It distracts people – studio heads, everyone, and they get nervous. I’ve been through a lot. I was 19 years old when things happened and I’m ready to work. I’m responsible and I can be on time and I learn from my mistakes.” Lindsay tells Ellen. In the same interview, the star also reveals that the split from Samantha was actually the best thing that happened to her, because it reminded her to focus on herself as well.
