Richie To Undergo Treatment

Nicole Richie has checked herself into a private facility for an undisclosed treatment. According to a statement from Richie's reps, published on E! News, "She is working with a team of doctors and specialists whose focus is nutrition..."

Nicole will undergo diagnostic treatments to determine why she can't gain weight. Recent photographs of Richie have created a buzz in Hollywood that she may have issues with food.

Nicole's reps say "this is not a treatment for an eating disorder." The reps add that Nicole wants to deal with her weight issues in the healthiest possible way.

Production on the current season of "The Simple Life" will be put on hold indefinitely.

32. So she's starving herself...it's a free country. It's also an attention-getting device..."look at ME, look at ME....I'm skinnier than anyone else!!!!!....so skinny I need REHAB!!!!!!" Rehab has become SUCH a tool for celebrities to gain noteriety, to get their names out into the limelight, in lieu of actual accomplishments. How pathetic do you have to be to starve yourself to near-death in order to get attention????

'I'm far more concerned about the millions of people on our planet who are starving because they have no food. If you want to be concerned for someone that is starving, start with the people who are starving against their will. Nicole could eat if she wanted to. Millions of people CAN'T EAT, because they have NO FOOD. My point--if you're feeling sorry for Nicole, WHY??? She's doing this to herself, and she damned sure knows better.

Take a minute or two, if you're worried about people going hungry, to fight World Hunger. Google 'World Hunger' and find a place to donate money that suits you. Seriously, it's an abomination that one person choosing to starve herself can garnish so much attention when MILLIONS of people are dying of starvation....GET REAL!!!!!!!!!!

33. and people STILL flock to hollywood! they're gonna make it big! look at the destruction it can bring. the temptations are too great for alot of people; especially young people who haven't matured mentally. and to add insult to injury, they have access to all that money. that is a deadly combination, as has been proven so many times already. when are the powers that be going to realize what that town truly is? these kids have no boundaries!! where are their parents for god's sake?
i truly feel for this girl. i hope she gets the help she so desperately needs. i don't know that 30 days is long enough though.
when are young starlets going to realize that they are role models for young girls, WHETHER THEY WANT TO BE OR NOT?
i think there is hope for nicole, and i hope she embraces it.

34. she's Pixie Mixie......all you Ted readers know what I mean.......she's been back on drugs for a while now. I think that is the reason DJ AM can't be with her. He's sober 6 years now.

I hope the Bitch gets well.....I love her style, and addiction is a horrible thing. I wish her the best.

35. "MAY have issues with food"????? The girl is either anorexic or bulimic, it doesn't take a rocket-scientist to figure that out!!! But at least, she's on the right path, checking herself in the hospital is the best thing she could do.

36. Nicole became skinny just over the last year or so. The pounds began to fall off only after gaining regular spots in gossip mags, blogs, and that excuse of a TV show.. Remember her from a few years ago, Paris' chubby little friend? This all seems like an attention getter to me, extend that 15 mnutes Nicole!! I wish there was something more interesting for these sites than the nepotists of the rich and famous. Actually being nepotist actually requires talent and success --- or steady employment for that matter. The likes of Brody Jenner, Brandon Davis and his double-wide Bro, Tori Spelling, The Hiltons, Kimberly Stewart, Nicole Richie....they're all just trust-fund babies who nurse off of their respective money teets.

Give us news on real Hollywood stars ... not their do-nothing offspring who love your cameras.

37. Billy: I'm hoping you just made your outrageous comment about Nicole dying to get reactions from other posters and that you're really not that much of an a**hole.

If so, it is you we should all feel sorry for as you must be a miserable person.

38. I read the comments on this and contribute all of the time. You know damn well the celebrities and their reps read this site as well. Everyone that contributes has an opinion and obviously an informed one.

Basically, don't bullsh*t us on this situation.

The chick is a freak and needs to quit cutting lines when she wakes up. She looks like someone from a third world country wearing a wig.

39. Hungry now Nicole? You can eat me.

40. all i can say to nicole is take a lot of sleep and don't do drugs, it might help..

41. You know.. i think you are all so vain! Yes she has a problem. No one has ever thought that this didn't happen till she hooked up with Hilton. But one thing I can say... Medical issues can cause this. I have been there. Genetics can cause a lot of problems. Everyone assumes drugs... Wheres the proof??? There is none! She has a medical problem and she needs the support, not the put downs. She's only human.. So while you are sitting there with your drink or joint.. think before you critisize.

42. Nicole Ritchie looks sickly, and is NOT attractive at all.

43. Maybe if Nicole would switch from coke to pot she'd finally start to eat.

44. You know ... she's just a young girl. Leave her the f*** alone ... all of you fat-assed bitches. I think all of you, are something that occasionally get scraped off a dirt road. I hate jealous fat women. Hell ... I hate fat women period. You know who you are ... lol!!!!

45.
Speaking to a person who lives in Hollywood , You've to stay skinny to keep up with the celebs , this is the end thing . Or else you will not fit in . You've to have the best home , best car ( s ) , best everything or else you will not fit in , this include weight . More less keeping up with the "jones". Its been like this for over 60 yrs , it will never change. Don't let anyone tell you differences.
