The couple’s marital problems were a huge theme of the first season, and we’re certain producers are thrilled to have a sensational crumbling marriage story line to go along with the second.

Perhaps the most alarming fact of this story? Lithe and lean Taylor has lost even more weight. Yikes.

“She’s emaciated — down 10, 15 pounds,” says a source.

Wow – I can’t even imagine Taylor any thinner. The thought is almost frightening.
