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.

47. To Billy #14, what is wrong with you? You say the best thing that could happen is if she dies!!! She obviously has a major problem, and dying would not SOLVE anything. What if she were your sister. Should she DIE just to get other girls to as you say it " to be inspired to stop their ridiculous weight obsessions." If you know anything about this eating disorder you would know that this would not phase these girls. They need intense help and a lot of it. You are either very young and do not understand, or you are an idiot. I pray that no one you care about gets this DISEASE, which is what it is!!!! Good luck Nicole.

48. This isnt a disease. Cancer is a disease. This is a case of a dumb bitch being a dumb bitch. Dont cry for a dumb bitch. And if its your sister or friend, try this instead "eat you dumb bitch" . That will work better than whatever treatment you recommend. God you people are dumb

52. The road to recovery, has to start out with first admitting you have a problem. I think she skipped that step. It is evident that she has an eating disorder, so Nicole, admit it, and get the help.

53. To # 48 This IS a disease, just as drug addiction, anorexia, bulimia, binging and purging, and yes cancer. There are treatments for all of these DISEASES and severe consequences if they are not treated. People who do not understand how they work say "Oh it's just all in their head." Just like depression, these are real medical problems which can cause death if not treated in time. Don't believe me, well I don't really care, but just ask your doctor, he will tell you.

54. About damn time! I don't think it's a drug addiction. Good luck Nic.

55. No. It is not a disease.

Alcoholism, drug addiction and eating disorders are not diseases. Calling them diseases are just excuses for weak people. Your wrong.

I dont have sympathy for this person. Shes weak and dumb. She needs to be yelled at and re-educated. She does not need to be cured or told that she has a disease. She doesnt.

56. Sweet Jesus, just eat a BigMac in public and we might not have to hear about the poor little rich girl that is too thin.

57. the "disease" she is suffering from is called......"CRACK" .nice try to cover it up, she is a walking skeleton for crying out loud.....hopefully she will get the help that she needs, and admitting what your real problem is, is your first step to recovery.

58. Where have you been Victoria? She eats in public ALL the time. Whether or not food is actually entering her mouth is not the issue here.

So much for the previous poster's claim that everyone on here was informed.

59. HEROIN! Its what's for dinner!!!!!!

60. Sorry Reality Check, I normally dont look at the pics of the self-mutilating, under-achievers that appear to starve themselves in the public eye, just bored this morning...my bad. I retract my comment and say that maybe she should "digest" the BigMac every once in awhile. (And put down the straw). Once again, POOR LITTLE RICH GIRL!
