CAP D'ANTIBES, France — Janet Jackson may have joined the ranks of diet plan celebrity spokeswomen Jennifer Hudson and Mariah Carrey, but she insists there's absolutely no competition among the slimmed-down singers.A spokeswoman for Demi Moore says the actress is seeking professional help to treat her exhaustion and improve her health.
Publicist Carrie Gordon says the decision is because of the stresses in Moore’s life, and she looks forward to getting well.
Moore released a statement in November announcing she had decided to end her marriage to Ashton Kutcher following news of alleged infidelity.

Actor arrested
Authorities say actor Armie Hammer was arrested at a border patrol checkpoint in West Texas after a drug sniffing dog discovered marijuana in his car.
The 25-year-old spent about a day in jail before paying a $1,000 bond.
Arrest records show he had 0.02 ounce of marijuana, three medicinal marijuana cookies and one brownie when arrested Nov. 30 in Sierra Blanca.
El Paso’s district attorney declined to prosecute because a felony requires more than 4 ounces of actual marijuana.
Jones to visit ‘View’
Apparently enough water has flowed under the bridge for Barbara Walters and Star Jones to reunite for a day.
“The View” announced on Wednesday that Jones will appear on the daytime talk show Feb. 22 to promote an awareness campaign about heart disease among women.
Walters and Jones had a falling out in 2006 when Jones exited “The View.”
