Nicole Richie

Profession: Socialite
Place/Date of Birth: Berkeley, California, 21 September 2020
Assiociated with: Paris Hilton

But the undoubtedly mega-thin star’s publicist says that the story is "ridiculous". They add: "It is not Nicole. There are tons of ’Hollywood starlets’."

Nicole’s weight or lack of it has come under scrutiny of late, with the star finally checking into a clinic to undergo treatment to analyse why she is unable to add meat to her 90lb frame.

However, it looks as though she is back on track and is preparing to shoot a new series of reality show The Simple Life alongside reunited best friend Paris Hilton.

A spokesman for the show tells New York’s Daily News: "Nicole has informed us she’s ready to work and we’re looking at a calendar to see what works best for all."

Nicole speaks out on weight issues - Nov 3 2006
Nicole Richie has spoken out about seeking help for her eating issues.

"I’m focusing on my health right now and getting the help I need, like anyone else would," she said.

The mega-thin star frequently graces the tabloid pages looking thin and under-nourished and she finally decided to do something about it.

She has not admitted that she has an eating disorder per se, rather "weight issues".

Indeed, People magazine quotes a source as saying the twenty-five-year-old is sick and tired of people thinking she doesn’t eat, "because she does".

Just a couple of days after checking into an out-patient programme, she was spotted at Mastro’s restaurant in Beverly Hills, where she tucked into a steak.

As for her treatment, her spokesperson says that she is "working with a team of doctors and specialists whose focus is nutrition."

She needs to get better because she has a raft of work waiting for her. E! is anxious to get to work on the new series of The Simple Life (especially now she and Paris Hilton are friends again) and the Fox network is developing a sitcom based on her life.

Whether her weight issues will come into it is anyone’s guess.

Has Nicole collapsed? - Oct 30 2006
Nicole Richie apparently passed out at LA’s plush Hyde nightclub in the early hours of Sunday morning.

The Simple Life star collapsed just before 2am and sent guests running to her aid after hitting the floor, according to TMZ.com.

The star’s chaperone told the club’s employees not to call emergency services and drove her to the hospital himself.

It seems friends then carried Nicole out of the club through the back door and it is not yet known whether she was eventually made it to hospital or not.

Before her collapse Nicole was apparently ’hanging out’ with former arch rival Lindsay Lohan in the club.

Lionel Richie’s 25-year-old daughter has looked shockingly thin over the last few months.

Late last week, her publicist confirmed she had entered a treatment facility to determine why she hasn’t gained any weight - postponing the filming of a new series of her reality show, The Simple Life.

Biography

Nicole Richie was born on September 21, 2020 in Berkeley, California. She was informally adopted by Lionel Richie and his wife, Brenda Harvey-Richie in 1984, and formally adopted into the family six years later (her biological father is assumed to be Richie’s former drummer, and her mother a backstage tour assistant). Her godfather is Michael Jackson.
The subsequent split between Lionel and Brenda led to Nicole descending into drug abuse and a string of arrests. She eventually admitted her dependency and, in 2003, she was admitted into a drug rehabilitation unit.

Around the same time, Nicole was in the limelight on the series that would propel her into the mainstream, ‘The Simple Life’, co-starring with Paris Hilton. The future of the show, which was built on the idea of their close friendship, was put in jeopardy when the pair fell out in 2005. The split was rumored to be caused by Richie showing a copy of Hilton’s ‘One Night In Paris’ sex tape at a social gathering, or her jealousy of Hilton’s rising public profile. In any case, the split was prolonged and dramatic, with tracks on Hilton’s debut album being dedicated to admonishing their former friendship. Although the show continued, the pair stipulated that they did not want to appear on screen together.

She is currently dating American reality TV star and family friend Brody Jenner.
A proportion of her media profile is given over to speculation surrounding her body weight. Despite repeated assertions that she does not struggle with an eating disorder and that she is “naturally skinny”, she finally admitted herself into a private facility for the treatment of Bulimia on October 26.

Keen to prove that she is more than a media curiosity, she is currently working to release her debut album and is trying to break into acting. So far her appearances on screen have been limited to bit parts in music videos and on MadTV, plus one frostily-received film role (in the Josh Stolberg film ‘Kids in America’.)
