Nicole Richie says she's healthy
Nicole Richie has blasted rumours she is suffering an eating disorder, claiming she is naturally skinny and her shortness makes her look even thinner. She says, "I'm a little sick of it. I think when you see me in person, you see that I'm, like, five foot one - I'm a small person. When I was heavier, everyone said I was too heavy. You can't win in the public eye and I find it really hard. The only time it bothered me was when I was in a store trying on shoes and these girls came up to me - they were probably like 13 or 14 - and their mother came over, and she was like, 'Are you taking care of yourself, because my girls think that you're not.' That was upsetting. I was never a size 12. I'm so little that I could put on 10 or 15 pounds and it just looks like a lot."
The only way 15 pounds would look like a lot on Nicole is if she gained it all on her forehead. Then scientists would claim she's the missing link and take her away for experimentation. She'd try to stop them but fail because she'd be too weak with hunger to lift her giant head off the ground. The scientists would interpret her feeble grunts as a primitive form of communication, and stick her in a cage with a really smart monkey. She may or may not fall in love with the monkey; he'd feed her bananas; they'd laugh and fling poo at each other.

I don't understand the point of her weight loss. She can be as skinny as a rail, but it won't change that face of hers. You got hit in the face with the Magical Frying Pan of Ugly, sweetheart, so go ahead and have a cheesesteak. It doesn't make any difference.

Funny, that's not what Lionel Ritchie says. I remember him on one of the gossip shows saying, 'Nicole Ritchie is NOT eating!'

Yeah OK, Nicole, you keep telling yourself that. By the way 5'1" is not THAT small. You look like a lollipop. Shut the f**K up!

Ok i get tht this website is for making fun of celebrities, but u r all obiously peices of crap 4 writting thoses comments and the origional artical, theres a line u can cross, n u know u have crossed it when u find ursef making fun of someone with a life threatening illness. Ur pretty sad.

Yes Georgina #24, the "life-threatening" illnesses of the rich, oh how terribly sad. It's not a disease girlfriend, it's a choice, and don't worry I know that which I speak, I used to have said "disease". If she ate a few hundred more calories a day, that disease would vanish as fast as her ass has. So I'm sorry for not crying over Nicole, she's a spoiled brat who doesn't eat because she believes it makes her look oh-so-foxy, .....I'm drowning in tears, not.
7. Posted by Cosmopolitan on February 3, 2006 10:34 AM
And was it not around the same time that her feud with Paris Hilton began that she stopped eating and dropped all of this weight? I read somewhere that a friend of hers quoted her as saying that she was sick of being Paris Hilton's fat sidekick.

If young teens see you in person and their mother voices concern to you that you look like hell, then what other standard can there be?
Girls are most criticial at that age. If they think you look like a concentration camp victim you ain't doing something right.

She's right about one thing. 5' 1" and 63 pounds is totally proportionate.

In response to #5 if you do not like the comments here, then maybe this isn't the place for you. After all we are not here to write a senior thesis...
As far as Nicole is concerned she is in denial of being anorexic, she is fugs and needs to get real.

Poor Nichole, first she's chunky and then she's too thin. People are never happy but then they love to kick you down. Yes she looks unhealthy only because she used to be big boned. Paris is skeleton thin too and no one says anything about it. Atleast Nichole isn't a nasty STD spreading ho.
14. Posted by rachel on February 3, 2006 11:13 AM
I think it's funny that she says she's naturally skinny...sure you are Nicole. She probably meant starving yourself is more natural than snorting coke.
She is right about the whole height and weight thing. I'm 5'0" and if I gain 2 lbs it looks like I gained 10. Totally sucks!
15. Posted by Belle on February 3, 2006 11:35 AM
Meh.. personally I think she's gorgeous although she looks like a stick; if she was 5'7 we wouldn't be calling her disgusting, we'd be sticking her on a fashion runway and praising her gorgeous figure. We splash pictures of skeletons across Vogue and every other magazines and envy them, but if they aren't tall enough to model then they are just gross.. uh.. what? Oh well, I'm not here to patronize or humor celebrities, I'm here to enjoy The Superficials' humor, heh.
She's right though, I'm 5'4, and if I gain ten lbs it looks like thirty.. eew. For the record, does anyone know how much she really weighs?
16. Posted by playahater101 on February 3, 2006 11:38 AM
She; obviously in denial. If complete strangers come up to you concerned and tell you that you look terrible, chances are YOU LOOK TERRIBLE.
17. Posted by playahater101 on February 3, 2006 11:39 AM
If I had to guess I'd say she's about 80 pounds.
18. Posted by Belle on February 3, 2006 11:49 AM
Yeah, but strangers don't come up to normal people and tell them they look terrible.. they walk up to *celebrities* and tell them they look terrible. Also, you need to remember that if you see a hot stranger dude, you don't shout out "I LOVE YOU! AHHHHHH!!!!!!!", but when girls see their favorite celebrity dudes (take for example Orlando Bloom, although I think he looks like a monkey woman), "AAAAAAAAAH!!!! ORLANDO I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!".... the rules of public behavior don't apply to celebrities.

I like it how 'healthy' in Hollywood means anorexic in the rest of the world.
The proof that Nicole is NOT naturally skinny is her face. If she were naturally slim, it would not look emaciated.
20. Posted by Belle on February 3, 2006 11:57 AM
Her face actually doesn't really look emaciated.. she doesn't have sunken cheekbones or anything.

An anorexic denying that she has a problem? No way...
She lives in a messed up world though. Nickie Hilton called Mischa Barton a "fat pig" the other day. Can you say "disorted sense of reality?"
25. Posted by playahater101 on February 3, 2006 12:48 PM
Belle, you are absolutely right. I would never go up to a super skinny girl and tell her she looks terrible. That's just rude behavior. But that's the price you pay when you are a celebrity and they know that. The point is she needs to get a reality check. Her family and friends should be trying to help her realize she has a problem. We all saw the pics of her in her bikini. When you can see all your bones, you aren't just "a small person", you are emaciated.
26. Posted by LaydeeBug on February 3, 2006 12:54 PM

"When I was heavier, everyone said I was too heavy. You can't win in the public eye"
First of all, she is too skinny right now. Protruding bones are not healthy.
But, she does have a point. When she was on the first season of Simple Life people said she looked fat. She wasn't. Just like Mariah isn't in those Barbados photos. But most of you people slam her anyway.
You can't win.
31. Posted by LaydeeBug on February 3, 2006 1:01 PM
When she was on "The Simple Life" I saw her as the cooler, smarter, more level-headed one. I had no idea she wanted to emulate Paris and become a bony-assed skank. She isnto naturally skinny because if she was, she would haave been that lean during the first two seasons of the show. OH, all of a sudden, her natch skinny genes kick in. Puh-leeze. Oh once again, Georgina, bugger-off!

There was a point between 'chunky' and 'emaciated' that she was looking pretty good, so I don't buy the "you can't win either way" argument.

If the guy I was dating was worried about his weight and lost tons of pounds, it would probably make me conscious of my own weight as well. I think that's what happened to Nicole. That guy she was engaged to used to be a fatass, then lost a bunch of weight. That kind of attitude is contagious.

To poster #35, I'm likin December 2004 the best, where she's neither too heavy or too thin. Why can't these people realize when they look good, why do they either have to be fat or anorexic? Do these people not know the meaning of restraint.
42. Posted by PapaHotNuts on February 3, 2006 2:20 PM
If she plays her cards right and loses 15 more pounds, Angelina might mistake her for a really ugly, but starving, Cambodian kid and adopt her. Then she could call Paris everyday and be like "I'm just sittin' around the house with my new dad, BRAD PITT. I guess it's too bad your dad doesn't love you like my new dad, BRAD PITT looves me."
43. Posted by Debutantejaim on February 3, 2006 2:22 PM
In all honesty, I believe she is suffering from a severe lack of self-esteem.

Yeah, Mary Kate Olsen used that same B.S. line of "I'm just naturally Skinny" too before she came out and admitted she was anorexic. Oh, and Lindsay Lohan said that she was just working out and eating right before she admitted that she was Bullemic etc....

"Yes she looks unhealthy only because she used to be big boned."
No, she didn't - she used to be plump. You can't change the size of your bones: you're either big-boned or you're not.

50. Posted by Cosmopolitan on February 3, 2006 4:36 PM
She needs to come to terms with the fact that she now has the same body as most ten year old boys out there. Her chest is so flat that it's almost inverted.
51. Posted by PostAcidYouth on February 3, 2006 4:57 PM
I have to be honest here, and I know it's cool to bash Nicole for being 'lolz 2 thin' but good god, everyone took the piss out of her for being the fat one...what do you expect?
Anyway, speaking as a naturally thin and short girl (though Nicole probably weighs more than she looks...I weigh 110lb, most people guess me at about 98lb) poking fun at someone for being too thin is as wounding as poking fun at someone for being too fat. And if the girl does have a problem (which you cannot deny she does) I can't imagine that kind of behavior would help at all. Just a thought
52. Posted by hermanita on February 3, 2006 8:26 PM
That whole thing was non-sence. The smaller you are, the fatter you look. And also if she's "naturally thin" then why was she uhm...naturally fat since she was born up until now. I don't care what she says about "even if I put on just a little weight on me I'd still look fat", because she wouldn't have had bigger love handles then ass if it was only 15 pounds. But I'm sorry, I have to disagree with the 1st post. Her face is actually cute, probably the best part of her. She has beautiful eyes. See? It's nice not to be ALL negative. Try it once in awile. ^_^
53. Posted by hermanita on February 3, 2006 8:32 PM
Btw, I think Lindsay and her are trying to look like none other then the Paris Hilton. See how they both dyed their hair ugly blond and got anorexically thin? Paris is naturally that thin and unnaturally that blond. Those two are just trying too hard to become her. I don't get why tough, since she's one of the ugliest women on earth and much worse then them. But if being annoying, ugly and hated makes them happy, then good for them! They're right on!
54. Posted by aura on February 3, 2006 11:48 PM
Nicole's always saying that she was skinny her whole life, and was only a chunk-a-munk during "The Simple Life" phase... so where are all the pre-fame pictures of her growing up? If she'd release some old photos to the press, she can silence the rumors. But too bad that won't happen because she's full of sh!t.
& Comment #35 speaks the truth.
55. Posted by aura on February 3, 2006 11:53 PM
PLUS, she was actually prettier when she was "fat", I bet in person she looked normal size. Standing next to Paris Hilton aka the Jolly Gonorrhea Giant (with her big clown feet) would make anybody at 5'1" look fat. Nicole was probably a size 2 or 4. Paris was not a good accessory, very unflattering to her figure.
56. Posted by Belle on February 4, 2006 12:44 AM
Yes, Aura (#55), but Nicole was a great accessory for Paris.. Fat friends flatter *everyone*.
57. Posted by oh_phunk on February 4, 2006 12:55 AM
She's definatly naturally skinny. She was fat on the Simple Life 1 because she just got out of rehab. There's nothing to do in the hospital but sit around and eat. Here's the only picture I could find of her and Paris when they young.
http://hdoweu.269g.net/image/np2.jpg
But I do think she has an eating disorder and she probably knows it too. She's naturally thin, but not naturally like, 80 lbs. I'm naturally thin too, but I know I'm not naturally 90 lbs. I wouldn't say I'm completely anorexic but I definatly have an eating disorder. I don't feel like its a problem and I don't want to recover. Maybe Nicole feels the same way.
Or maybe she's completely retarded and thinks eating twice a week is normal. I dunno.

HollyJ, that second picture isnt real, its been photoshopped!!
And MaryKate only came out with that anorexia story to cover up that she had a coke problem, which is stupid as everyone knows all celebrities do coke apart from maybe Cliff Richard....
When nicole was 'Fat' she was probably still only a UK size 10! hardly fat. and lets be honest, anyone would look chubba next to paris hilton. I agree that if she was 5ft 10 instead of 5ft 1 she would be on a billboard for Calvin Klein, and everyone would celebrate her body.
fuct up world.
60. Posted by sweetsmile333 on February 4, 2006 1:36 PM
sorry to mess up the fun, I get that the whole point here is to make fun of celebrities and tho I wish our culture didn't obsess so much over them, if someone doesn't want to criticize them then they don't have to visit the site.
but... I'm 15 and while I'm not anorexic (b/c that would mean I'd have to have lost >15% of my body weight), I definitely have an eating disorder. no, I'm not rich, and post #6 it IS a disease, I'm sorry. it's a choice in the beginning, that's true, I decided that at 5'2" and 103 lbs. I was fat even tho ppl told me I was skinny, I decided to eat 700 calories a day and run 3 miles every morning. but after a while it really WASN'T. I got down to 90 lbs. (and looked a bit like nicole, it IS true about the short thing, but not to THAT extent) but always was getting bruised and having headaches and getting tired and cold and I've been working on it, but I could. not. stop. your body and your mind or WHATEVER won't let you, and once the disease takes over it is not a choice anymore, you feel sick if you eat and filled w/ loathing and it's really not some self-indulgent thing to make fun of.
I don't think she's a good person, she seems really hypocritical and attention-seeking and I really hate her b/c seeing her and lindsay lohan were some of the triggers that made me think I was fat.
but even tho I think she's an idiot and a bad person, please don't make fun of her or be hateful b/c of her disease. and also, please don't say she's hot... it's really hard to keep on eating normally like I've been trying to when there ARE guys who think that's attractive.
sorry for the long post, get back to the celebrity-bashing! :-) I love this site.
61. Posted by sweetsmile333 on February 4, 2006 2:38 PM
oh, one more (v. quick!) thing: I am naturally thin, if I eat the same as my friends I weigh around 98-100 lbs. at 5'2'' while they might be 140 at 5'5", THAT sort of body type is not NATURAL at all. bodies don't do that naturally, we're built to survive and have SOME fat stores if there's starvation. people don't look like that unless they're working to be disgustingly skinny.

64. Posted by polypam on February 5, 2006 12:41 AM
I am SICK of her saying she's "naturally skinny" and put on weight in rehab. Look at pre-rehab photos and although she is thinner than her "Simple Life" days, she was no where near as skinny is as she is now.
I'm not so sure she is clinically anorexic, however. It was posted on this very site how she said she was pleased about not having any boobs. So she thinks she looks good, anorexics would never say that. Perfectionism is also a trait of eating disorder victims, what has Nicole been a perfectionist about? Being a dumb reality TV star? Please.
She says she "finds it really hard" to deal with public opinion about her weight? You'd think she'd find it really hard that she's not exactly getting bombarded with job offers.

She says "when I was heavier people told me I looked fat..etc blah blah" but really, who is telling her this? Her FANS? She's not a performer or anything she's just famous for being rich and for having a dad who is actually a star...so who the hell cares what pants size she wears? I'm still convinced this is a Whitney Houstonesque diet and she is going to crash at some point...

Obviously the girl is in denial, which is typical of anyone with an eating disorder. She looks like hell. She could pass as the celebrity poster girl for Ethiopian famine. I feel sorry for the parents/family cuz there's nothing you can do short of tying people like Nicole down and force feeding them. I know someone who has a daughter who went through that anorexic mind control in her teens and the family was totally helpless. All you can do is standby and hope to pick up the pieces...if there's any left.

My mother loved Lionel Ritchie and the tabloids. I remember reading a story about Nicole's adopted parents. Her adopted mother kicked the shit out of Lionel Ritchie because she caught him cheating on her. This girl has been around a log of fucked up shit, no wonder she is a mental case.
73. Posted by Aliceis_obsessed on February 15, 2006 6:02 PM
I am probabaly being naive but don't think she is anorexic, I don't think she is losing weight through healthy means though, but she lost that weight over a longish period of time, i would say she dropped 30 lbs at most
74. Posted by DrunkenPassion on July 16, 2006 11:05 PM
Hm. I don't know. She might be telling the truth. I don't think she actually lost a lot of weight because I too am around 5' tall and to be honest, even 5 pounds makes a huge difference. In the last few months, I got sick a bunch of times and lost aroun 5-6 pounds. Now everywhere I go, people ask me why I'm so skinny/have I been dieting/have I been taking good care of myself/do I eat? I was pretty thin to begin with, and for me, no matter how much I eat, I have a terribly hard time gaining weight but no problem losing weight. If you ask me, she was about 105 pounds to begine with and she's about 87-88 now. And since she lost it over a period of time, it's pretty believable.
PS. Don't insult the way she looks. I look like that so if you insult her, you insult me. And no, I'm not prepubescent. I went through puberty quite a while ago.
