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 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
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. ^_^
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!
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.
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.
Yes, Aura (#55), but Nicole was a great accessory for Paris.. Fat friends flatter *everyone*.
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.

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.
I think she looked GREAT here :

…but here’s where she’s headed : (hot huh?)

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.
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.
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.
Why does her entire nose crinkled up like that when she smiles?
Yeah. She’s naturally skinny like she was naturally fat a few years ago. Geesh. So you diet for goodness sake. No big deal. Stop with this natural metabolism crap. Naturally thin people dont get fat.
Every time I see a crinkly nose I think ‘job’.
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.
#4 Bahahahahhahah! Cheesburger Island is where she ought to be forced to live like Typhoid Mary till she stops scaring children with her appearance. 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…
I can’t wait.
I love it when super-thin celebs claim to be “naturally skinny.” That would be akin to my fat ass saying “I’m just big-boned.” BULLSH*T!!!
pearly…the people who said she was fat are the same people now saying she’s too thin. People like yourself, for example. People who then purport not to care about her weight.
I guess when you’re living in Hollywood you’re prone to being a nutcase. C’est la vie, non?
Children starving in Uganda have more weight on their bones.
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.
she’d be good looking if she wasnt so ugly
Nicole claims she was fat because she just left rehab before she filmed “The Simple Life”. Now she is a waif. Hmm, I wonder, got smack?
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.
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
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.
She is not ugly superspence, do you have a brain stop making spiteful comments, she already must have a low self confidence to starve herself to that extent, we should be helping her not making her feel worse about herself.
