Demi Moore is (allegedly) struggling with drug problems AND an eating disorder.
Two sources close to Demi, say the key problems for the actress are her dual obsessions with remaining young and being ultra-thin.
And her recent daily diet has been "Red Bull for breakfast. Red Bull for lunch. Red Bull for dinner, with a lettuce leaf and a tablespoon of tuna fish thrown in. That's it."
A source close to Moore and her family described her intense focus on remaining young as being "insane. … Demi got so she'd almost talk about nothing else than finding ways to keep young and pretty. For a long time, it was clear she was doing it all to keep Ashton Kutcher interested. Then, when she found out about his cheating, her world really spiraled out of control."
While Kutcher has called and checked in pretty regularly since Demi's collapse and hospitalization last week, both sources stressed that ex-husband Bruce Willis is more concerned.
"Bruce has been very worried about Demi for some time — like many of us — and he's truly stepped up to the plate in the past week..."
