Nicole Richie isn’t anorexic

Lionel Richie says he was so concerned about Nicole Richie’s weight loss he took her to a doctor who assured him she wasn’t anorexic. He says:

“I stood in front of [the doctor], just like you and I now, looked him in the eyes, and I said ‘Is it anorexia?’ And he said ‘It isn’t anorexia,’” the musician told the Swedish newspaper Expressen, according to our translator. He says Nicole’s weight loss is “stress-related” and he believes it’s due to his divorce from her mother and from all the media attention his daughter gets. “I live with the constant fear that Nicole is going to become the next Princess Diana,” Richie said, apparently referring to the late royal’s death while she was being pursued by paparazzi. “Just to give an example of how crazy everything has become, I always know when Nicole is on her way home because she is always followed by a helicopter and seven cars. It’s harassment.” But, he claims, photos of Nicole have been digitized to make her look even skinnier than she is. “Many times, they manipulate pictures of her,” he says. “She’s shown me the difference between the original and what’s published in the newspaper. They make her look much worse.”

I don’t know much about anorexia, but I know if your legs look like that you’re either anorexic or a giraffe. And last I checked nobody follows around a giraffe in “a helicopter and seven cars.” Unless maybe it knocked over a bank and had a cool nickname like Giraffey McCool.

More of Nicole and her fat thighs after the jump.

    Please give her some pork rinds… christ!!!

  2. Rimmer

    Paris wasn’t DUI, Brandon isn’t bloated and Lindsay does not have a nutsack.

  3. Big Daddy Cool

    Woo hoo. Third!!!

  4. annie

    I don’t think it’s what she does/doesn’t put in her mouth. I think it’s what she puts in her nose and possibly her arm.

  5. RichPort

    That guy should be arrested for either pedophilia, necrophilia, or anorexiphelia… I’m not sure which yet, since I’m not a fucking cop or a lawyer. Tell this fat bitch to visit a salad bar once in a while.

  6. The Devil's Prom Date

    I’m more than a little surprised that the weight of that grande soy-latte didn’t snap her hand clean-off of her wrist.

  7. Tracie

    Just look at that belly pudge sticking out in the first pic…my God, what a porker Nicole is!!!

  8. well it’s really easy for her to keep her svelte and girlish figure now that she’s on the “communion wafer” diet…if her pops wants to live in fairytalestardust land that is certainly his option.. however, the rest of us know that this kid ain’t right..

  9. Nimuë LaMer

    People would like her so much more if she just lost some weight.

  10. magickal

    Ewwww. In the first picture she looks like Jessica Simpson. Except, we all know that Jessica’s a fat cow compared to Nicole, so, the legs gave it away.

    Linoel Richie should shut the *f* up! My aunt died at 19 of anorexia…in the end her body even rejected the tube feedings. He’s just concerned that she’ll start eating again and be too much of a tub of lard to star in his next video.

  11. She’s not anorexic, she’s small-boned

  12. tati

    she looks perfectly normal, come on. she’s just thin.

  13. Hey Lionel, how do I sign up for the Lionel Richie Dillusional Diet program? You are a nut-job, bro. I used to think you were cool as hell, but you’re just as Hollywood as all the rest of them. Do Nicole a favor, grab her by that little chicken-wing arm and yell “Eat some Fucking Food, you little Ethiopian Bitch! I am Lionel Richie, and I will beat you the way my wife used to beat me! EAT THIS GODDAMN CHEESEBURGER NOW!!! AAGAGHHHHHHH!!!!!”

    Or….you know….something LIKE that.

  14. You know if being a celebrity is stressing her out too much she may want to avoid doing television shows with Paris. It’s not like she doesn’t have money if she does not do some worthless show.

    Did he just say Princess Diana and Nicole in the same breath? I’m sorry, the connection there is lost on me.

    And who was this “doctor?” Did he get his medical degree off a matchbook?

    Nicole sought out the whole celebrity thing. I know plenty of wealthier-than-God people who don’t have to have an entourage of flunkies follow them around wherever they go. Nicole wasn’t the singer, her father was. She has no reason to be famous. She ASKED for the media attention.

    NO wonder she’s such a fucking wreck. Has she ever had to take responsibility for anything in her life?

  16. roflynsolo

    Lionel should be ashamed of himself, this adoptee gets more attention than his biological children; it’s almost like they dont exist.

  17. Devil Is Chrome

    How could one possibly manipulate the pictures of her running on the beach? Her f**king breastbone was going to take someone’s eye out!

    By the way, running on the beach in a horrifying 80′s style purple bikini is not okay – on any planet.

  18. That is not stress related weight loss. When Nichole got pissed and stressed during that first season of “The Simple Life” she went to Burger King and ate like 4 burgers.

    This is the same P.R. bullshit that Calista Flockhart tried to pull when everybody figured out she was annorexic, so after that EVERY press release that came from her publicist mentioned dinner, or that “Calista went to an orphanage after stopping by Taco Bell” Mary Kate Olsen tried to pull the same thing. If Nicole was so stressed that she is endangering her health gee, then maybe she should be in therapy or in a health clinic, or just stop going out all the time.

  19. Devil Is Chrome

    ANGRY FERRET – I think I just broke something in my body laughing so hard at your post…brilliant

  20. jrzmommy

    16–because they realize that they’re just the child of a famous person and not actually famous for anything. Apparently Little Miss Entitlement didn’t get the message.

    She is a Gollum-lookin’ freak.

  21. ImaCracka

    Anorexic or not… that is one skinny Bitch….

  22. jrzmommy

    check out the two fags outside of the Shabby Chic store in the second picture. Gay tourists from Iowa…gotta love it.

  23. ValeWolf

    Nothing worse than an ignorant father. He’s an even bigger asshole than she is.
    That girl is going to die soon if she doesn’t get REAL medical help. Not the help of some imaginary dude that gave Lionel a lollipop after the visit.

  24. Baroness

    No celebrity will ever admit to have anorexia/bulimia/other eating disorder whilst in that state. It’s only AFTERWARDS when they gain back the weight that they’ll look back and say to the public, “oh, yeah I was way too skinny back then.” It’s the Lohan-syndrome, but it’s also way older than that. Not so much to do with anorexia nervosa mental state as with trying to save face.

  25. From what I’ve heard, she has a coke problem. So I believe that the doctor did indeed say it isn’t anorexia. It’s “stress-related” drug use.

    BATTERY POWERED SKELETON

  27. jrzmommy

    that’s a fuck of a lot of coke she’s doing to be that disgustingly small.

  28. jane's eyre

    Those damned Relacore commercials tell me that you get fat from stress. Her “doctor” says she’s skinny from stress. So which is it? WHICH IS IT, DAMMIT?

  29. you know, if she could just loose that last 15 pounds she’d be perfect…

    richard carpenter thinks she looks great…he can’t understand what all the fuss is about…

  30. The doctor that told Lionel it isn’t anorexia is probably the same cocksucker that treated Karen Carpenter. Not anorexia? Fine. Then it must be AIDS, Leukemia, or a Nazi concentration camp. We all know it’s a raging drug addiction (coke or crystal meth, take your pick). She was plump when on the heroin because it slows the body chemistry down. She got off the H and jumped on something more slimming. We should applaud her, she’s so fashion conscious she switched to a narcotic that would enhance her sveltness.

  31. Limbo

    That hat makes her look really fat.

  32. And Brody Jenner must like fucking twelve year old boys.

  33. JinxedKarma

    And when she drops off from her “not anorexia” the doctor (and i use that term loosely) will say it was “exhaustion”.

  34. Nichole, you’d be way cuter than Paris if you’d just do something about those fat Chipmonk Cheeks.

  35. wwworldclique

    DOCTOR GIGGLES: Ladies and gentleman, contrary to all publicity photos of Ms. Ritchie looking halfway between a praying mantis and bobble head, I assure you that she is not– I REPEAT– not anorexic!

    Oh, wait… did I say she isn’t anorexic? I meant she *is* anorexic! She is! *sigh*… *grumble*… damned drug-induced memory lapses.

  36. who is that doctor kidding? if she’s not anorexic then i’d go with “sexually unattractive”

  37. courtkneeyo

    so eating and taking laxitives is still not anorexia? she seems to be eating alot of dairy products. i bet she shits all of that out. ewww

  38. Aristotrash

    What kind of doctor takes one look at someone and rules out a diagnosis on the spot? If the tabloids are right about Nicole being 5’2″ and 82 lbs., then her BMI is 15. Anything under 18.5 is considered underweight, under 17.5 is borderline problematic, anything under 16.5 is almost certainly anorexic, and anything under 15.5 is the clinical criteria for “emaciated.” She is anorexic unless she has cancer, AIDS, or a gastric bypass. Lionel needs to get his daughter to a responsible doctor.

  39. Star Maker Machinery

    Wow, Lionel Richie is deluded about both his daughter’s weight and her “fame”.

  40. Porcelina

    maybe she has a wicked case of tapeworm.

  41. prideofchucky

    I’ve said it before & I’ll say it again:

    E.T. HANDS!!!! E.T. HANDS!!!! E.T. HANDS!!!!

    “Hey-low Eli-OTT!” THEY’RE CREEEEEEEEEEEPPY!

  42. ReelWorld

    Comparing this toothpick slut to Princess Diana should result in Lionel Richie getting a beating he won’t soon forget. What a fucking insult!!

    As for his whore daughter’s weight issues – face it – it’s the only way she can stay in the “spotlight” now….

    If he were any sort of responsible parent (which he obviously isn’t) he’d as someone posted, sit the bitch down and force her to eat something instead of shooting up and lounging on the beach….Pathetic.

  43. ReelWorld

    and which doctor did they consult? Dr. Nick?
    props to #38 on your post…

  44. Nicole’s body still looks way much better than Lindsay’s …

  45. LL

    Well, if it came from Lionel Richie as quoted in a Swedish newspaper, then it must be true. Actually, I think she does look ever so slightly less anorexic than, say, a month ago. Maybe they’ve been force feeding her or something. She probably wouldn’t look so gaunt and hollow-faced if she didn’t wear those ugly-ass oversized sunglasses. And she probably wouldn’t look so thin if she didn’t carry around a bag big enough to hold several infants. And that drink is half the size of her head. What the hell could she possibly have in that bag? We know it’s not food.

    I do find it difficult to believe that anybody would waste a couple grand an hour in helicopter fuel to follow Nicole Richie around. If she was on fire, maybe. Maybe. I can’t believe anybody has nothing better to do than take pictures of her walking out of a Starbucks, but to each his own.

  46. What The Sha??

    what a striking resemblance to Granny from the Beverly Hillbillies…

  47. Dory

    Can’t she understand she DOES NOT LOOK GOOD. NICOLE RICHIE PLEASE LISTEN YOU LOOK SCARY EAT SOMETHING… DONT GO OUT, DONT EXERCISE JUST PUT SOME WEIGHT ON PLEASE!

  48. Beavis

    I saw that Car Insurance commercial w/ Charo, I thought to myself, ah what the hell, I’d hit that.

    Anorexia? Shit Ive got a real problem.

  49. paranoid asteroid

    The sad thing is that the medical community- in general- is ignorant about eating disorders. As long as you’re not 50lbs and say you’re “working on it,” they think you’re recovering & no longer sick. So maybe the doctor did say that, but the bitch is still not healthy. Lest we forget: the camera adds 10 lbs.

  50. Ok, she scares me. She reminds me of Dr. Satan from House of 1,000 Corpses.
    I’d hit that…with a box of Ho-Hos.
