ALLEGRA Versace has been admitted to a Los Angeles hospital for treatment of anorexia, her mom Donatella Versace revealed yesterday, finally confirming what's been rumored for the past decade. The 20-year-old heiress to the fashion empire has been battling the "very serious disease for many years," Donatella said in a statement with Allegra's father, Paul Beck. "She is receiving the best medical care possible to help overcome this illness and is responding well."IT is a curse of the very rich, a sumptuous cage, but a cage nonetheless.

When Donatella Versace revealed yesterday that her daughter Allegra is suffering from anorexia she was simply opening another chapter in the history of this apparently blighted family.
