Nov 13 2006Nicole Richie may have had gastric bypass surgery
Page Six has a blind item today asking: "Which young Hollywood starlet had secret gastric bypass surgery, but then lost too much weight? During a recent four-day stint at a health clinic, she was actually having an operation to remove the bypass."
Which sounds a lot like it could be Nicole Richie. If it is her, then it turns out she's not anorexic at all, just ridiculously stupid. You don't get gastric bypass surgery when you're 12 pounds overweight. That's like killing a spider with a hammer. And by hammer I mean the hammer that's glued to the missile you shot at it.

What an idiot!
2. trampstar - November 13, 2006 4:32 PM
I can't imagine a doctor actually agreeing to perform a gastric bypass on Nicole Ritchie. Medical malpractice, anyone?
3. jrzmommy - November 13, 2006 4:32 PM
I idolize this girl I wish I weren't so fat, that way I'd be loved by my bastard children. Tear.
4. guest1234567 - November 13, 2006 4:36 PM
Why can't she be anorexic and ridiculously stupid at the same time?
5. mrs.t - November 13, 2006 4:45 PM
Now, Ms. Richie, we'll just remove that fashion-sense bypass and you'll be all set!

@2 - no doctor in his right mind would do it.....but then again..look at Michael Jackson's nose.

Boy you said it #8 anything that's effortless. God forbid any of these losers could GASP!! do any excercise.
11. amaritimer - November 13, 2006 5:11 PM
if you pay a doctor enough, they will do anything. Especially if you tell him/her that her dad is going to sing to them until they agree to do it. Once he started to sing, the dr screamed that he/she would do it!!! Just stop the fucking NOISE!!!
It is terrible, she used to be a good looking girl. Rakes have more sex appeal. At least a rake doesn't refuse sick sexual advances... lol

Nicole Richie? Stupid? You'll never convince me.
Okay, you convinced me.

That's why Paris is her friend again--Nicole is going back to her Simple Life days.
14. ElatedPornStar - November 13, 2006 5:31 PM
Oh well, at least she's trying. Gotta give her something. Pretty soon she'll balloon like O'Donnell and we can poke fun at her even more!
Hooray for Cunties everywhere!
15. vanillacreme - November 13, 2006 5:45 PM
Wait, doesn't gastric bypass normally leave a big scar? We've seen her looking emaciated in a bikini. Shouldn't there have been something?
I personally think she went on the Columbian diet- coffee and coke only.
16. commissioner - November 13, 2006 5:49 PM

Gastric bypass is done laparoscopically. No scars.
17. sexybitch - November 13, 2006 5:50 PM
#15
No, just 3 little hole marks - it's done with scopes. But even if the "bypass" was done with a rubber band from the LA Times evening edition, I don't think it was her, either.
18. Shaun - November 13, 2006 5:50 PM
LOL @ poster 9.
Post #15 - She doesn't appear to have the crater face input you get from meth so cocain is a definite possibility.
If she actually does put on weight, talking about her will be boring. That is my opinion, since we have seen this beofore with how many celebs?

I read the Page Six item, and I want to know who this is:
November 13, 2006 -- WHICH faded screen siren (think "Sunset Boulevard") has special instructions for her frequent visits to Cedars-Sinai? Written on her chart, it says, "No Filipino nurses!"
20. Brain Embolism - November 13, 2006 6:04 PM

She'd actually be pretty if she weren't so fat.
22. Laurie1122 - November 13, 2006 6:34 PM
Sharon Osbourne got her gastric bypass band removed this week. Maybe they are talking about her? Obviously she isn't a young starlet, but who knows.
23. DeeG - November 13, 2006 6:43 PM
#15 It's Colombian, two "o"s no "u". Because the country is Colombia not Columbia. Sorry to sound like a spelling nerd. That word misspelled is my biggest pet peeve.
24. suzy - November 13, 2006 6:47 PM
i dont even think she is even qualified to get a gastric bypass.. she wasn't obsese.. she just had meat like the rest of America.
25. thesuperficialist - November 13, 2006 6:58 PM
Yes, it's true that there are unethical doctors out there, but with an average weight loss of over 50lbs for gastric bypass, NO DOCTOR would have done this it would have equalled death, not really really skinny, really really dead.
26. sexybitch - November 13, 2006 7:30 PM
#25
The upside for Nicole is that she'd still continue to lose weight.
27. Dory - November 13, 2006 7:36 PM
I agree #25
Nobody would do it, they would up shit creek if they did!
28. yuckyfresh - November 13, 2006 8:02 PM
this is ridiculous.
29. Googolygoo - November 13, 2006 8:05 PM
Sounds more like Brittney Murphy (or however the hell she spells her name), who went from chubbo to skeletor in a relatively short period of time and didn't seem to stop dropping weight.
She wasn't grossly obese, but it makes more sense than NR. No (responsible, reputable) doctor would've performed the surgery om a tiny gal only 15-20 pounds overweight.
And I don't think I'd call NR "a starlet", more "a personality."
30. yuckyfresh - November 13, 2006 8:10 PM
OOOOO i get it now. her hair is brown! that's why she looks so fat!
carry on.
31. CelebSlam.com - November 13, 2006 8:12 PM
Yes, this explains the pictures of her eating
http://www.celebslam.com
32. Charm - November 13, 2006 8:21 PM
she wouldn't be able to be chowing on fast food, like we see her doing all the time if she really had gastric bypass. Nope, she's just good old fashioned bulimic.
33. aurealis - November 13, 2006 8:29 PM
If she goes back to a human weight, will she become the normal one again? Cuz I can't accept that Paris is the less freakish one.
34. Binky - November 13, 2006 8:44 PM
The last time I had a gastric bypass I had just visited an A&W and I was getting a little worried about the heriditary DNA of a day-old Teen Burger.
I was not ready to screw with that...I mean really.... ......
I don't think I could stomach what Nicole has been through...
Well. Ok. With a barf bsg - I could probably deal with it... SIMPLE... life...
35. krisdylee - November 13, 2006 8:45 PM

Nicole Ritchie??? I thought that was Lohan. Oh whatever, they're all rich, skinny turbosluts anyways. Why is everyone hopping on the brunette bandwagon????
38. TiredAndEmotional - November 13, 2006 9:04 PM
I've been spreading this rumour around the web for ages and people say "but no reputable doctor would do that". Hello - Hollywood anyone?! Those doctors would do anything if the pay was right.
39. Binky - November 13, 2006 9:08 PM
# 37 because all the blondes are visiting Iraq on 'extended leave'
- Now that the election is over my sources are finally ready to talk. Apparently the Republican Nation Committee planned to have 'Walking on Sunshine' as their national re-election jingle - groovin' it on to re-election.
However some observers thought the song's band -'Katrina and the Waves ' - may be insensitive and alienate some of their core supporters.
'An ALL-girl band ?' said a GOP insider. 'Let's face it. There's a good chance one of them might be Lesbian... We couldn't afford to chance it..."

44. Mandy - November 13, 2006 10:03 PM
I'd say she had the lapband surgery. It's just another form of medically induced bulimia...EXCEPT...it's removable and you don't have to be as fat to get it. If you eat too much, you throw up.
45. Mandy - November 13, 2006 10:05 PM
Oh..Just another thought...the lapband thing makes lots of sense, especially since she lost all of this weight right after D.J. AM, her boyfriend, had full gastric bypass and got skinny.
46. Binky - November 13, 2006 10:12 PM

I think it is Sharon Osbourne not Nicole Ritchie. However, neither of them needed it. That is like lighting a candle with a flame thrower.
http://www.holisticwisdom.com
51. frou - November 14, 2006 2:30 AM
she was overweight, but not obese enough to qualify for gastric bypass. Any surgeon that would do the surgery on her would be considered unethical. But there are a lot of unethical surgeons in LA.
52. RichPort - November 14, 2006 4:58 AM
I guess I'm guilty of the prepubescent boy fixation - I think Nicole looks pretty hot.
53. beifiori - November 14, 2006 5:36 AM
I have to agree with #25, if she did have that surgery done at her prior weight, it would have meant death for her. My aunt had the bypass surgery done early last year weighing about 125 pounds over what she should based on the BMI charts, and she literally almost died. She was so sick she ended up losing over 100 pounds in less than 2 months! no joke! that surgery is not intended to be a cure all, it's intended to help those who are seriously obese and cannot lose weight(documented for a minimum of 6 months) by any other conventional method. some see it as the lazy way to lose it, but they misunderstand that it's not easy (I've had it done too), you have to work even harder at it as far as food goes, though you don't have to exercise as much as you would to lose it. I can't imagine any doctor, self respecting or not, who would be so unethical as to perform that surgery on someone of her size, but then as another poster said, look at michael jackson...i guess if the money's right, some will do anything. I don't really believe she had the surgery done...even laproscopic surgeries leave scars, they may be little but they aren't invisible, and as much as she's sported the bikinis, NO ONE has given us a bird's eye view of those scars...

So they figured out how to attach the esophagus directly to the colon? Medical miracles never cease to amaze me!

Regarding the posting of number 23-don't you think that's
a rather obscure pet peeve? I mean, unless you're living in
C-O-L-O-M-B-I-A, how many times a week would you
see the word misspelled?
59. marshmallow-dream - November 14, 2006 6:55 AM
#52, 54, 56 - you are homocidal and fixated on youth by your own public admission. might want to step away from the computer for awhile.

63. RichPort - November 14, 2006 8:12 AM
marshmallow-dream, you really are an under-loved, uncreative, under-achieving pair of under-washed underwear, aren't you? Do you stay up at night thinking of ways to be me? Doesn't sound like fun at all. The future I envision for you involves biting an M80, a swig a kerosene, and a waterproof match. That's what I would do. Give it a try.
64. marshmallow-dream - November 14, 2006 8:18 AM
#63 why would you imagine anyone want to be you? now quit projecting your homocidal tendancies on others. why on earth would you post that you are atracted to pre-pubescent boys and that you want to suffocate someone? get help.
65. jrzmommy - November 14, 2006 8:31 AM
I personally think Marshmallow is DanYELL's girlfriend.
66. Brain Embolism - November 14, 2006 8:39 AM
#59 marshmallow-dream - Why don't you lay off of RichPort. He'll wipe his ass with you in a war of words.
Did he hurt your feelings one time or something? Get over it!
I'M not going to argue with you. I have other ways of dealing with people like you.
67. biatcho - November 14, 2006 8:42 AM
I think Marshmallow is manielle because she really wishes she was white.
68. DeeG - November 14, 2006 8:45 AM
#58 Yep, I agree it's an obscure pet peeve. Now that I've pointed it out, though, you'll be surprised how many times you see the word misspelled in national newspapers and magazines.
I'm not Colobmian but I love going there. And no...not for the coke. The demand from other countries is too great so it pretty much all gets exported (the excellent coffee too). Colombians have no coke and drink leftover crappy coffee. Ironic.

Marshmallows give me nightmares. The thought of ingesting one makes me gag.
72. commissioner - November 14, 2006 8:53 AM
I think it's because it reminds me of all the time I've spent biting pillows.

I step away for an hour and come back to a marshmallow mash? And here I am without my sticks... marshy has a soft spot for me and I'm not too sure why... maybe I fucked its mother and washed my johnson in their brand new sink... maybe I stepped on its shoes... maybe I even told it to shut the fuck up a few dozen times... take your medicine marshy. Post as yourself and be a man/ woman/ whatever the fuck you are...

Ok, IF this story is true am I the only one that would laugh their ass off if she ended up getting fat again?!??!
God, that would be a gift from comedy heaven.....Nichole Ritchie, reverses the surgery and a year from now clocks in at 200lbs. LOL!!!!!! Come on fatty, you can do it.
83. RichPort - November 14, 2006 9:27 AM
Folks, I'll see you on the next thread. marshy is doing that stalker shit again and I just punched one of my co-workers because I thought she was trying to sneak up on me. I may have to pour my coffee on her to wake her up. Homo-erotic fantasies seem to suit marshy, as does posing as me. Weird. It loves me. It feels like an Eminem/ Stan situation...
84. PrettyBaby - November 14, 2006 10:22 AM
I love you Rich - Your funny as hell and don't let any haters wreck your brand of fun. Fuck the marshmallow- yuck too sticky- and not in the good PrettyBaby's Pussy way.
85. RichPort - November 14, 2006 11:40 AM

Wrong. Sharon Osbourne WAS morbidly obese for many years, but had gastric bypass, and a starlet, by definition, is under the age of 30.
And Spindoc, no you're not the only one.
87. gossipmonger - November 14, 2006 1:46 PM
Regarding post number 68-I think you misspelled

The fine coffee drinkers of C-O-L-O-M-B-I-A should get
their coffee from the fine Hawiian island of Kauai-it's our
family favorite-much better than that famous Seattle coffee everyone loves so much.
Just my coffee loving opinion.
