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.

31.
My sources in Arizona say that she checked in at Sierra Tucson for herion rehab ... one afternoon and checked herself out the next morning. I can hardly wait to see the autopsy photos.

32. Why would you label the picture of Nicole from years ago as PLUMP?! She is not plump in that picture. She looks healthy. The media calling her plump is most likely what led her to the state she is in right now. You claim to be so concerned about the way she looks now, but to call her plump only fuels the distorted body image she has of herself and it keeps this cycle going. SHAME ON YOU. I guess you keep fueling it so she will keep starving herself so you will keep having things to write about. I just pray that you don't eventually end up writing about her death.

33. Who gives a f*** about this ugly skank...

No diet in the world can make her look good.

34. i think the boob job looks great and so does the hair. the 1st step is admitting u have a problem and she's done that so hopefully she'll look even better one day very soon!!!

35. NICOLE if you are reading this, I think you would be great in maybe a Mc Donald's or KFC commercial,. Since both are eliminating the trans fat from there menus, I'd lay you a bet they're in the process of new p.r. right now . In case you haven't heard, there is an epidemic of obesity and diabetes in this country and you are fortunate not to suffer from either. You also are young now and will hopefully live long enough to look back in even five years and see that those with your best interest at heart were right.
We all age and hopefully acquire some wisdom along with it. I hope you talk with your doc about osteoporosis if you haven't already. Not only is it unattractive it is very painful. I know you know what I'm talking about and have heard it before. Think of all the great publicity and happiness in store for yourself that I really don't think a fake pair of boobs are doing anything for you except affecting your center of gravity. SALUD!!

36. I agree with post #2--she looks healthy in picture number 3 and close to perfect--why label her as plump there? Nicole, Kate Bosworth & Victoria Beckham all look like they need some sort of intervention now in order to save their lives.

37. I don't blame her for becoming anorexic after looking at those chubby photos. I'd be afraid of looking like that again too!

38. God, leave her alone...she is under a microscope. Did any of you ever wonder what that might feel like? People either calling you "plump" or "skinny". That is exactly what killed Karen Carpenter and countless others.

39. #34, she put herself under that microscope. No one told her to be on Simple Life, No one Told her to date a sh*tty DJ then be in all the magazines.

Since she put herself in the spotlight she (whether we like it or not) is a role model for youg girls.

She should carry herself in a more positive light and live healthier and not shop!!!!

Plain and simple there are lots of real celebrities that seem to stay out of the tabloids. If you dont want to be famous then dont go to the IVY, Robertson AVE, Hyde, Mr. Chow's etc....

40. The problem is not Nicole, the problem is society now a days!

Everyone has to look like skinny ass models so you can fit in, especially celebs...and teens! (thats where all the health hazards come in) WAKE UP AMERICA STOP KILLING OUR YOUTH WITH YOUR COMMENTS AND OPINIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

41. What the hell? You, the media, say that Nicole is skin and bones and then you show a picture of a "plump" Nicole and that doesn't add to her problems? What was she a size 4 in the picture you labelled her as plump? You guys are idiots. Instead of helping the situation you hurt her and the rest of celebrities who are caught under the "image radar." Nicole was not plump - she was healthy.
Shame on you asses for encouraging controversy over her weight. I know you are seeking interest; however an intelligent journalist would find a different angle to portray her issue.

42. She's not gonna get well over night! It's gonna take a while but the fact that she has put on a few pounds is a step in the right direction!

43. I think she looks good in the "plump" photos. She looks like the average woman. Now she looks like a skeleton with big boobs. If society would stop placing labels on women and holding them up to ridiculous standards of weight, then maybe these girls wouldn't be barfing up, shooting up, or exercizing themselves to death.

44. You guys are stupid... if she had a boob job she wouldnt be out in public wearing a shirt like that. Give her a break...she had a problem and now she is trying to fix. The reason she had a problem is because all of you who are saying that she is skin and bones were saying before that she was big and fat. Just leave her alone! Dont you get the fact that the media was in direct correlation to her problem?

45. #33, your an a**hole, plain and simple....when she looked "plumped", she looked just like the average girl, I thought she was really pretty. She's actually hysterical on the Simple Life, I love her sarcastic humor, its Paris's cluelessness and Nicole's humor that made the show. I really do hope she does get better.
