Is Nicole Richie About to Snap?

While several media outlets claim that Nicole Richie has finally gained a few pounds, she still looks like skin and bones to us. While on a shopping trip yesterday in Beverly Hills, a lightweight Barney's shopping bag looked like it was going to snap Richie's arm like a twig.
Still, it's an improvement over Nicole's skeletal summer look, which prompted her to seek professional medical attention.

It's hard to remember what Nicole looked like just a few years back.

136. The media should just stop, because all it is is a bunch of crap, they sit there and say she's too skinny then they sit there and say she's "plump" maybe if they didn't have "perfect" models and actresses at a size 0 then less people would love themselves for who they are. Look at Lyndsay Lohan, she was beautiful before the media got a hold of her, then look what she turned out to be? and don't even say it's because of her past, if it was she would have been like that before she became famous. A girl does not have to be a size 0 to be beautiful, and maybe if more people could accept that, the world would be a better place. And Nicole has a lot of pressure on her cause she's famous, she has to be like a twig, and have a nice figure for people to say wow she's beautiful, and for those who think she was beautiful before one ever made a deal about it, so in the industry that silence is more of saying that she isn't perfect enough. Which if she did get a boob job and all that other stuff it is just for media. You people should stop being critics and worry more about the youth of America that you are destroying by embeding this ideal body image into their head, try teaching them to love themselves for who they are and if they need to lose weight be it for health reasons.. NOT TO BE ACCEPTED. You should be accepted for who you are NOT WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE!

137. Do you realize everytime you apply media pressure on a situation like this you make it worse. She has a problem and it is a medical issue that is not to be taken lightly. To actually have a title saying "Is Nicole Richie About To Snap?" is sick and disgusting. Oh yea, the picture saying "Plump Nicole" is really smart!

139. in my opinion there is no way to please the public either you weigh too much or not enough. LET the girl be! you can never please everyone all at once. im sure shes aware of how she looks.and if she wants to change than she can but if not oh well. im 13 and even i think its wrong to point out things about people!

140. Her boobs aren't any bigger; it's just that the rest of her has gotten smaller!

141. I think Nicole serves as a reminder to all women... Money, fame and all the purses in the world have not cured her of her greatest enemy, her self image and the distorted American media. Fact: Vh1 had a special on make-overs they previously aired, including her trainer. She STARTED as a size 8. She Perhaps needed a toning regime and a style expert to 're-do' her hair and wardrobe.

Let' s be honest.
She died her hair darker and added length to add pounds to her face and to cover hair-loss (she went lighter and shorter for the opposite effect)
and has had a breast aug (there is No bra in the world that is invisible, sorry honey). I give her 4 pounds, but as with any other recovery it willbe long and hard.

(PS Karen Carpenter died because she gained Too much weight too quickly and threw her body into Cardiac arrest, so anyone who is desiring a 'rapid movie weight gain' is foolish )

143. i just want to say that everyone has their struggles. it becomes more of an emotional problem then how you really want to look. what happens is your brain starts to run you and tells you how much to eat, dont eat, or youve eaten to much.... i feel for her but i would like for her to get help( if she already hasnt) and get healthy, that would be the biggest outcome. her life is in danger and i am sure that people should show her more support in her wanting to change this is a very hard thing to overcome and i think that there should be more positive out put. think about it, if you were in her shoes, how would you feel and would you want to hear, you look like shit, or anything degrading. be optimisitc and supportive about it

144. Her arm looks bad, but she has definitely been eating something. Thank God too because she could have died from heart attack if her weight continued to drop. I cannot believe she looks good with brown hair!! I thought for sure blonde was the right fit for her...but I was very wrong. She's looks angelic with brown hair. She just keeps looking better and better. :)

145. Being called too skinny is just as annoying as it is being called too fat...
let the young woman enjoy her skinny years...
how many people do we all know of that started off super skinny...
then got old and are now healthy or fat...
think "twiggy" for instance...
she isn't much of a "twig" anymore if you ask me : )

146. Be honest-only the fat chicks go around harping on the skinny girls. Leave her alone. She is still cute and very desired.

147. She does NOT look plump. She looks beauitful to me in the pictures the media is calling "plump." People wonder why she developed an eating disorder- everyone calls her overweight. She looked georgous and people should recognize that. I'm sure whoever titled those photos as plump could only wish they looked as skinny as her! And since she's gotten help everyone's at her throat. Leave her alone, she's trying. Give it time. It's an addiction- it takes time, at least she's trying!

148. How can any of you even know how hard it is to overcome an eating disorder? Making fun of Bulimia, Anorexia, and/or Binge Eating is NOT cool, and many who struggle with such do not find it amusing. Before you start bashing those for their imperfections, why not take a look at your own flaws? You obviously have some nerve to post such degrading things about those who have eating disorders. Until you walk a mile in their shoes, or experience what has brought them to the point of an E.D., you shouldn’t make your pety comments. to all of you who make fun of her seriously, I don’t know what your problem is.... but making fun of someone with an eating disorder? That is just… really low as hell.

149. Have you all ever considered that maybe Nicole R. is REALLY sick? Conditions that prevent food consumption can range from
Depression, Drug abuse and smoking, AIDS, Malignancy
Acute infection, Chronic infections such as tuberculosis
Parasitic infections (particularly if you are from or have recently traveled to another country), Chronic diarrhea and Hyperthyroidism. Nicole looks like an African famine victim. She has not only lost weight, she has lost muscle mass which is clear in the strained arms where we can see her bones expressing through the skin. She is very sickly looking. I hope she will seek medical advise from a reliable physician. Unintentional weight loss is a dangerous situation. She could lapse into a coma from malnutrition or hypoglycemia. It matters not if she's a celebrity, she is a very sick young woman.
