Ellen Pompeo stepped back from her role as Meredith Grey on Grey’s Anatomy long enough to say that young Hollywood socialites are “rich and famous for nothing” and set a bad example.

“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.”

“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.
