Nicole Richie is a bit skinny, isn't she? And by being so skinny, it could be said that Nicole Richie is proving to be a deeply negative role-model for young girls all across the world.
Wait – young girls see Nicole Richie as a role-model? Does that mean that there are swathes of children wafting about the planet drawling to each other about how hot everything is? Christ, that's terrifying. Anyway, we're getting ahead of ourselves – Nicole Richie has admitted that she's probably a bit too skinny for her own good.
On paper, Nicole Richie should be one of the happiest women on the planet. She's got it all – in Lionel Richie she has a father with a nifty collection of clay heads, in Paris Hilton she has the only possible TV co-star who manages to make her look intelligent, and in DJ AM she has an ex-boyfriend who makes her look more legitimately famous.
Dig a little deeper, though, and you'll see how flimsy Nicole Richie's happiness really is: Lionel Richie is constantly worried by his daughter, Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie are now sworn enemies, and DJ AM split up with Nicole and left her so sad she forgot to eat.
Since the split, Nicole Richie has been cast adrift, her starved brain making her think that cracking onto 11-year-old boys is even vaguely acceptable. But now Nicole Richie has admitted that she couldn't be more frighteningly skinny if she tried. Speaking to Vanity Fair, Nicole said:
"I know I'm too thin right now, so I wouldn't want any young girl
looking at me and saying, 'That's what I want to look like.' I do know that they
will, which is another reason I really do need to do something about
it. I'm not happy with the way I look right now."
But, now that Nicole Richie has taken a look in the gilded mirror of life and realised that she's more or less completely 2D, she's decided that it's time to pork the hell up. Most people would try and do this by spending a month bumming round on their sofa, pouring Guinness-flavoured Pot Noodles over their extra large pizzas and getting really into Pocoyo, but Nicole Richie is loaded, so instead she's hired a nutritionist, a doctor, a psychiatrist and a personal trainer, all of whom have presumably carefully assessed all aspects of Nicole Richie's life and told her "Jesus! Eat some more, would you?" One of her medical team has said:
"We're all concerned, and she's concerned, but it's either going to
improve or it won't. If it's not anorexia, she should be able to gain
the weight. If it ends up being anorexia, we'll help her with that. I
think she's willing to look this in the eye."
Or to be more accurate, look it in the eye and then sing a load of soggy, half-baked songs about it. That's right – Nicole Richie is following in Paris Hilton's footsteps by realising her very own godawful album. Everything's going to be OK, folks.

Nicole Richie: 'I'm Too Thin' – People

I am 13 and have been diagnosed with anorexia nervousa. Ive had this disorder for a year and a half and i have NEVER looked up to celebs as inspiration. Why cant people mind their own fucking buisness. If the celebs wanna fast, let them! It is really offenceive when people say ‘ ugh your a bony, scrawny, little runt!’ Its just as offensive to say that than to say ‘your a fat lard arse’ to sum fat chick. At least we skiiny people put effort into it instead of sitting on our arsers practically eating lard.
What im trying to say is NIICOLE RICHIE SUFFERS FROM A SERIOUS MENTAL DISIESE!!!! SHE WILL READ MAGAZINES AND THEY SAY SHE IS TOO SKINNY, BUT THE LAST ISSUE ON HER WOULD SAY SHE IS TOO FAT!!! Nicole richie wouldnt be like this if people hadnt of said she was fat in the first place. I was 45kg or 100lbs when i was told i was fat. c’mon that is a BMI of 17. Then i went down to 25kg or 60lbs! i still feel fat. You cant blame celebs, you can blame the people who report on the celebs, the people who stick their noses in, the people that critisice the celebs for being too fat and when they lose a bit they criticise them for being to fucking thin.
Gosh i hope that got my point out there. trust me i would know seeing as i am anorexic and all so for the parents out there DO NOT BLAME CELEBS FOR MAKING YOUR KIDS TOO THIN!!!! THEY ARE SUFFERING JUST AS MUCH AS ANY OTHER PERSON WITH AN ED
xoxo much love xoxo

this topic seems to be an agree/disagree issue. honestly i think nicole looks fine and people are over reacting to all of this. they should leave her the fuck alone
and let her live her life. i believe skinny = beautiful and even tho i don’t have an eating disorder as bad as most people i do eat small portions and make sure to
stay healthy. noone without a disorder(or who has delt with something along the lines in the past) can really relate to this topic i believe because they don’t know what its like to even tho others say “you’re skinny” really in the
end dosen’t and will not effect that person. all they can see is “fat” and thats why its such a debated topic in todays society.
all you haters(/people who are jealous) and fuck off.
and keep your opinions to yourself.
