Katie Couric always seems so confident and put-together, but when she was in college, she suffered from bulimia, she admitted on her new talk show "Katie" on Monday.



"I wrestled with bulimia all through college and for two years after that," the perky 55-year-old journalist said while interviewing an expert on eating disorders. "I know this rigidity, this feeling that if you eat one thing that's wrong, you're full of self-loathing and then you punish yourself. Whether it's one cookie or a stick of gum that isn't sugarless ... sometimes [I would] beat myself up for that," she added.

The segment featured 20-year-old "X Factor" judge Demi Lovato, who has also spoken publicly about her struggles with eating disorders and self-harm. But Katie? We didn't see it coming.

    I think Arnold Schwarzenegger tops them all off. That is an extremely embarrassing situation, and it really did hurt his all American public image. At one time, people were thinking he should run for President. That's how much people loved him. After the news of his infidelity broke out, many things have changed in people's mind. It just goes to show you that things are not what they seem. These famous people are not saints at all. They all have problems just like the rest of us.

    Most embarrassing confession? Perhaps. But the least surprising of the bunch, I'd say. Arnold has been known as "Oh he of the wandering eye" since his earliest days in Hollywood. The Internet is full of pictures of him (mostly in his younger days) copping feels and grabbing female anatomies.

    Because if she was as "private a person" as she was pretending to be with robert pattinson, she would not have gotten caught with the married guy rupert sanders. But when you look closely; the girl is just hung up on 'british guys' and their accents.

    Arnold: there's pretty much nothing he can tell us about himself that we don't already know. Majority of us here; has kept up with the different phases in his life such as a bodybuilder, actor, getting married to maria, becoming governor and his final revelation of fathering a child with their housekeeper; by doing her in the guesthouse "while his wife and kids were away" sneaky and nasty of him and the maid'
    Would I buy the book? A: no'
    He fell from grace when he did what he did to his wife and kids, he cheated on them for readily available 'stuff' that was suppose to be taking care of their home. Perhaps you can't trust the cleanup woman.
