“What are we doing to this younger generation? It’s not very responsible.” She Says for Young Celeb
By admin on Aug 9, 2007 in Ellen Pompeo

In an interview with the Los Angeles Confidential Magazine, Ellen Pompeo discusses her views on celebrities “who are rich and famous for nothing.”
“We’re so focused on the wrong things. We’re teaching young girls that this is what they should be focusing on: rich and famous girls who are rich and famous for nothing.”
In an apparent reference to coverage of Paris Hilton and her ilk, Pompeo says: “What are we doing to this younger generation? It’s not very responsible.”
Pompeo, who plays Dr. Meredith Grey on ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy,” also calls the media “irresponsible” for ongoing speculation that she has an eating disorder.
“I just worry about the girls who look up to me — I don’t want them to think I starve myself or don’t eat, and that to be like me that’s what they have to do,” explains the actress, who says she is naturally slender.
