Tearaway Hollywood actress Lindsay Lohan has spoken for the first time about the night she thought she was dying from bulimia and drugs. The star of Mean Girls and Herbie: Fully Loaded, who has battled her demons in public for the last two years during her rapid rise to fame, has been in and out of hospital – most recently three months ago while working on her latest film Georgia Rule. Recalling the worst night of her life in 2004 when she was 18, at the home of former boyfriend, 26-year-old actor Wilmer Valderrama, she told the News of the World: "I lay there screaming, throwing things, because the pains were so intense in my head and my liver. In the end I didn’t even have the strength to take a shower. "I ended up in hospital. My liver was swollen and I had a kidney infection and my white blood cells were accelerated. I was really, really white, like a ghost, and my legs were so numb from not walking. "It was terrifying. But going through s*** makes me that much stronger. "Sometimes being that thin doesn’t look healthy. I kind of didn’t realise that. One time when someone asked me if I was OK I just started bawling. I knew I had a problem and just could not admit it. My arms were disgusting. I had no arms. I had people sit me down and say, ‘You’re going to die if you don’t take care of yourself’." Despite still being very thin, Lindsay now looks to be on the road to recovery and speaks optimistically about her future plans – which include a starring role in an upcoming adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s A Woman Of No Importance. She says: "I feel great about my body now. I am comfortable in my own skin and I like having a shape and having breasts the size they are."

I am just waiting for her publicist to come out and deny that she ever said any of the above.
