ANOTHER DRAMA FOR VERSACE FAMILY

Allegra Versace, who's been preparing in New York to follow in her late uncles fashion footsteps, is being consumed by anorexia, her mother said Wednesday. Donatella Versace said her 20-year-old daughter "is very ill," the (London) Evening Standard reported. "Anorexia is consuming her and we are very worried," the mother said. "However, the doctors are doing all they can to snatch her away from this cruel disease and we have faith in them." Allegra Versace -- who inherited half of her late uncles $600 million fashion empire when she turned 18 -- had been studying fashion in the Big Apple and is being treated in a specialist clinic. She has appeared gaunt and rail thin in recent photographs. Donatella Versace said her daughter has suffered from the eating disorder for several years. "For some time the situation has become worse and that is why we decided to place her in a designated specialized clinic where she is receiving the best possible treatment," she said. "Please think of us and respect our pain. Many mothers will know well what I am going through and what my daughter is risking."

ELIZABETH HURLEY READY FOR HER WEDDING IN SUDELEY CASTLE

Elizabeth Hurley is to serve a banquet inspired by English royalty at her wedding to Arun Nayar.The British actress-and-model, who is marrying Arun next month, has reportedly asked chefs at Gloucestershire's Sudeley Castle to prepare a meal inspired by cuisine served to King Henry VIII's sixth wife, Katherine Parr,when she lived there. Guests will be treated to roasted guinea fowl with sage and champagne jus, followed by summer fruit brulée or pears poached in wine for desert all washed down with Verve Cliquot Champagne. A source said: "It's a very medieval menu, in keeping with the castle. Liz wants the food to match the history of the venue so there will be nothing modern on the menu."Katherine, whose tomb is located in the castle church, regularly dined on deer that roamed wild on the estate. Liz, 41, and Indian businessman Arun's extended wedding celebrations start with an English ceremony at Sudeley Castle, followed by a traditional Indian wedding in Mumbai, which will feature an Indian banquet. Celebrities expected to attend the nuptials include Liz's close friend Sir Elton John and his partner David Furnish, fashion designer Donatella Versace and Victoria Beckham.
