46. I think they need to grow the hell up and start appreciating the fact that they can pay their bills, buy grocerys and put clothes on their bodies....if they took a fourth of the money they spend on booze, drugs and those dumbass outfits for their animals imagine how many familys in the good ole USA would not be living in poverty.

47. At least theguys that have to carry her casket won't get a hernia. She must weigh about 50 pounds. I'd rather carry her than Moma Cass!

48. Sounds like Nicole and Lindsay suffer the same disease.....cocaine and/or heroin addiction, but that's old news.
Would that not explain the severe weight loss, denial and paranoia? Come girls, set a good example for our youth! Keep your panties on, eat some calories and stay away from the devil's drug......it doesn't become you.

49. Lack of food will make you pass out. DUH. Look at the woman. What is there to speculate about. Lotsa drugs+no food=passing out or death. She got lucky this time.

50. Any girls that look up to this skank are insecure anyway.

What is the compelling thing that makes this weathered spider monkey a celebrity?

Can she act? NO.
Can she sing? NO
Is she a model? LOL!
Is she a self made entreprenuer? NO

She is a joke!

Quit embarassing your family---SKANK!

51. Ms. Richie was a former heroin addict. Maybe she really has AIDS? That would explain the weight loss. Just a thought........................

52. Someone needs to stop treating this young girl like a celelibrity and and get this poor young girl some serious professional help before we read about her death!! She may have a serious metabolic problem that is not being adressed. Shes burning muscle! (and the heart is a muscle!)

53. Where the hell is her Father? He should drag her skinny butt back to the clinic and make her stay even if he has to hire bodyguards to keep her there; it would do her a lot of good!!

54. Use all your misplaced sympathy on someone who really DESERVES it, folks.

Somebody give this girl a large caliber handgun with an instruction booklet on how to load and fire it into her brain.

Who is she....really? Aside from being a prolonged public suicide trip, what has she done that is so noteworthy as to give her all this press space? She and her buddies, Paris Hilton and Lindsey Lohan, are just a collection of immature, blue-nosed junkies.

And PLEASE give AOL the same handgun to use on themselves after Richie does everybody a favor so we won't have to be carpet-bombed with stupid shit about this no-talent dummy any more.

I hope I have not been too vague.

55. I agree, its painfully obvious that nichole has some sort of drug problem. Until she is ready to admit it to herself, this is how her life will be, Chances are it will get worse before it gets better. She is in need of some serious intervention! Wheres her parents??? Unfortunatly when famous young adults have alot of cash in their pockets (especially money they didnt earn themselves!)they turn to drugs and partying. Is that supposed to make them more popular or make people like them more?!?! They need to do something more constructive instead of destructive. What a shame! - too bad it takes them so long to figure out their are wasting their lives this way.

56. Someone should put in "Before" and "After" captions around the two pics on the previous page. The lower right pic should say "Yeah where's the smack!" and the one at the top should say, "That wasn't a good idea, I'm so used up."

57. I don't really like either of them nicole or lohan. But being rich and famous is a bummer huh. Give me a break, these 2 girls can have anything they want, and this is what they do. And people still go to the movies and see them or watch them on TV. Stop giving them more profits and let them work at Mc Donalds for a month or so, let them have a taste of REAL LIFE then they will really be F'd UP.
Don't feel sorry for these girls, they are both TRASH!!!!!

58. this stems from her roots, even so she was adopted by wonderful people she is having problems with her life then & now. I wish her Gods Blessings. she has every thing to live for! She just has to get to know that inside her self! Good luck Nicole.

59. What kind of "treatment" facility is she really going to? It says she's looking into her eating disorer, but if she doing speed, then of course she's not eating. All I can say is that, every time I see pictures of her, I want to sit her down and force feed her pasta!!! Maybe, if she insists on not eating properly, she should look into "Boost", or "Ensure". Sucking back a few meal replacement shakes is better than not eating at all.

60. Obviously she has psychological issues.....does she even know who her real father and mother are?.....didn't they hand her off to Lionel Richie at a very young age? Her problems are most likely related to REJECTION by her mother and father at a very young age. No amount of money can replace the deep rooted feelings of rejection she has experienced. She is self medicating with either drugs or alcohol or both. All you have to do is look at the chick...her personal appearance is SCREAMING....HELP ME!

Self medicating will temporarily ease the pain but getting wasted isn't solving the problem. She needs COUNSELING to learn how to face and slay her demons.
