Celebrity Feuds
Richie Under Pressure

Nicole Richie: Click to watchIf there's two things Nicole Richie hates more than Paris Hilton it's the paparazzi and the attention put on her weight. In an interview airing on "The Tyra Banks Show" next Tuesday, Richie addresses both thorns in her side.

"It's horrible, especially when you're trying to do something about it [her weight] and you have just so many eyes watching you and people talking about you," says the extremely thin "Simple Life"-er.

With so much attention put on her fluctuating pounds, the paparazzi are inevitably going to be snapping pics, regardless of where she is. While she may not mind the shutterbugs all the time, it's a whole different story when it comes to the beach or restaurants.

"It's summer, everyplace to go eat you obviously eat outside ... I'm not eating for the cameras, I live in LA, I do what I normally do," says Richie, adding "What really bothers me is when I go to the beach because when I go to the beach, they want me in the swimsuit."

46. Well Nicole can eat at home all she wants without anyone bothering her correct? She needed stress herself alone in her home.. She should see another doctor.. and he insist. Why doesn't her father hire a nutritionist and chef to prepare her healthy meals and drinks..? Anyone cans see that whole story stinks as 'I can't be bothered on real life and facts by the non caring dad'.. agreed we lie and neglect, and to hell with what happens as to her self-abuse and suicidal tendencies, for he has completely let her down. I didn't mention the mother as she doesn't bother to even help her daughter or agree that this is bad.

47. Nicole would do herself a huge favor by admitting that she does, indeed, have an eating disorder. Saying that stress causes you to not eat is a huge indicator that she needs to get her stress checked because it's intefering with her ability to nourish herself. If that's not an eating disorder, I don't know what is. I wish her well because she's so funny and so interesting but I fear she's going to end up dead if she doesn't get some help and quit denying her problems.

48. I don't believe Nicole wants to gain weight. She secretly loves being this skinny, and all the comments she gets give her a charge because she interprets them as praise, and fuel her desire to stay this way, if not lose more weight. She has classic anorexic thinking. OK. I'm done with the armchair psychology.

50. All you people saying you are sick of her and don't like her, why write about it? You keep saying no one cares but obviously you do. If you really didn't like her, you wouldn't have read the article or responded to it.

51. It's a disease...someone truly anorexic wont come right out & admit it if they aren't ready to. I speak from experience. Hoepfully she will be able to see the truth & accept the help.

55. iTS FUNNY HOW SOCIETY EXPPECTS EVERYBODY TO BE PERFECT, EITHER YOUR TOO FAT OR TOO SKINNY, I SAY STFU TO ALL OF THEM CAUSE NO ONE IS PERFECT!

56. A - No one makes fun of fat people? Didn't Tyra just recently dress in a fat suit for her show and discover just the oposite? Why didn't Tyra say something to Nichole?

B - You can't be famous in the media without cameras. Surely Nichole didn't mind them when she first started the Simple Life....

C - Nichole needs to learn a lesson or two from some seasoned actors - and just stop responding to all the tabloids. She is making a bigger deal of her weight then they are....

57. I'm trying to figure out WHY she's even considered a celebrity by some people in the first place. I can only say that she's the adopted daughter of a musician. She would definitely be upset if no one cared to follow her around taking her picture. If she's happy about her weight, more power to her, but still talking about that and her feud with Paris only makes her desperate for attention. I think that if it weren't for Paris letting her tag along in all those old E! papparazzi video shows, we wouldn't know who Nicole Richie is. How nice that would be!

58. I think Nicole Richie is a beautiful girl but not at the anorexic weight she's been lately. I saw a picture of her recently (People mag. maybe) where she was indeed wearing a swimsuit and she looked as though she needed to be airlifted to the nearest hospital.

I agree with the poster who said she is delusional. I think that that's a feature of anorexia. Nicole evidently, at her thinnnest, believed she looked good; otherwise she wouldn't have kept dieting.

As for the person who wrote that Nicole is so much prettier than Paris H., well - I personally think the two of them look alike.
At one point I wondered if they both had the same fathers. Both of them are true, classic beauties.

59. WHAT A BORING SHOW. I USED TO LIKE IT, BUT IS GETTING REALLY BORING AND TYRA IS NOT GOOD AT INTERVIEWS. THE ONLY SHE TALKS ABOUT IS MAKE-UP,MODEL,AND DISCRIMINATION LIKE FATS,BLACKS,SKINY,ECT.

BORING! BORING! BORING!

I DON'T THINK THIS PROGRAM IS GOING TO LAST.
