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.

76. I think it's GREAT she's trying to get some help -- I was afraid we'd all have to watch her die right before our eyes. You go, Nicole!!!!!

78. Does Nicole think that the general public has the IQ of a house plant? How can she parade around as a skin & bones specimen & think that the public will say "Oh she just can't gain weight. I can not buy this flimsy excuse. The drugs, lifestyle, etc. affect how these star idols(?) behave.
Who cares!

80. I personally think it's great that Nicole has finally realized she needs help.I know we all love a little or lot of gossip every now and then,but we have to realize no one's perfect no matter if their rich or poor were all human and make mistakes.It takes courage to admit you have a problem and even more to seek help.I think we should back off Nicole at this time,give her time to get well.I wish her the very best.

81. As if the world doesn't know that she is a strung out junkie. As if the world doesn't know that most of the "celebrities" are not strung out junkies. Not worth the time it takes to write a message about these "stars"

82. After I posted my comments here I read a few from others who posted.Talk about cruel and heartless.How in this world can someone wish someone else to die,even someone with or without a problem,and people wonder why this poor girl is doing what she's doing.People please, until you walk a day in someone elses shoes you have no right to judge or critize them.For all you nieve people who think if your rich you have no problems boy do you have alot to learn.Give the girl some space to get well again and don't leave posts that critize her,leave posts to support her.As for the poor little rich girl thing,after watching The Simple Life I don't feel Nicole thinks she's all that because she's a rich celebrity,she comes off as a fun loving human being unlike her co-star who doesn't want to try anything us normal people do everyday.Hang in there Nicole I'm sure it's gonna be a tough fight but you can do it I'll keep you in my prayers.To all the haters out there if you don't have anything good to say just shut the f**k up,if you enjoy watching peoples lives go down the tubes,stop talking about their lives and if your still bored ruin your own.If you have so much anger in you to wish someone dead then I think your the one who should be seeking help.This much anger inside someone is really scary.

83. well atleast she is finally getting some help

84. Thank goodness Nicole is FINALLY is doing "in-patient" so-called treatment. She will be better MONITORED & DIAGNOSED within the hospital confinement. She is so anorexic. All anorexics will deny (to the death if necessary) that they DO NOT have the eating disorders. DISTORTION / DENIAL are a major part of the disease (Anorexia)!!!

85. Thank goodness she will be "in-patient" in the hospital. She will receive closer monitoring and the correct diagnosis. She's definitely anorexic. All anorexics will deny (to the death sometimes) that they have a problem. Distortion and denial are the major factors in anorexia.

86. nicole ritchie doesn't have an eating disorder just like star jones didn't have gastric bypass surgery! tell it like it is!

87. I think she is messing with something that has become BIGGER than she is. Drugs/alcohol/lack of proper food and nutrition is all a bad combination. Sadly, she looks like she's a bit late at getting help. What gets me is that there are those in hollywood that think we "pions" are idiots. Like we're gonna really believe them when they say she has a problem OTHER than the obvious drugs/alcohol/no food. Give us a break, we're not stupid! Just be honest with us and humble yourselves and get some help and hopefully in the process, young girls won't follow along in your stupid footsteps! I hope she lives and gets some help, but sadly, I dont know why but I had a dream that she died. I dont even follow her or the whole scene. Good luck, you're gonna need it.

88. I don't get it. She used to look so gorgeous before..Now, she looks sick! How in the world did these young girls ever get the idea that being emaciated "looks good?!" I hope she goes back to looking like she did on the first episodes of "The Simple Life."
