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.

62. Um, nice try there, TMZ, but I don't buy your excessive Photoshopping for one split second. ;-)

Yeah, Richie is super skinny and maybe even anorexic/bulimic, but I wouldn't put past the friendly folks at Harvey Central to do a little "touch ups" on celeb pix every no and then.

63. dont you people have anything better to do than to criticize Nicole, leave the girl alone, i find her hysterically funny, and talented. also she has such a warm spirit, and the best manners i have ever heard, anytime she is interviewed.. why dont all of you look in the mirror naked now, then post your pictures on the web, so people can rip you apart. somthing tell me it would be quite a site..why dont you put yoursleves in her shoes for a minute, what has she ever done to hurt you?

65. Nicole is ugly and stupid. She and her fleabag buddy paris acted like two a**holes on the simple life. Her father should hang his head in shame for raising a spoiled rotten little brat that does noithing but mooch of Daddy's money and starve herself to be thin for who? Pathetic.

66. SOME OF THE COMMENTS YOU ALL R MAKING R JUST CRUEL. THE POOR GIRL ADMITTED SHE HAS SOME FORM OF A PROBLEM WHETHER IT'S AN ACTUAL EATING DISORDER OR SOMETHING ELSE PEOPLE SHOULD LEAVE HER ALONE AND LET HER GET HERSELF TOGETHER.SHE JUST STARTED GETTING TREATMENT WHICH MEANS THE WEIGHT GAIN IS GOING TO BE A GRADUAL THING. TO STRANGERS SHE MAY STILL LOOK TOO SKINNEY BUT GAINING A FEW POUNDS ARE NOT GONNA REALLY SHOW.IT'S NOT HEALTHY TO GAIN WEIGHT BACK TOO QUICKLEY SO EVERYONE NEEDS TO BACK OFF THE POOR GIRL.

70. What does some Media Outlets think? That the public is stupid, this chick is still boney. What is it now" Our eyes lied"

71. My heart goes out to Nicole. Where have her so called "loved ones" been that she was allowed to get this bad in the first place? Where are her REAL friends? Why didn't they intervene instead of compete with her to see who could be the thinnest? When my teenage daughter saw this photo and said "I would give anything to look like that", I thought I heard my heart break.

Shame on all of Hollywood! If this is the image you want to display, send me to a place where us average folk have a chance.

73. Frankly, I don't give a rat's rump about Nicole Ritchie, Paris Hilton, or any other rich spoiled brat. However, she is a good example of how the media can manipulate people (both the "beautiful" people and the rest of us). Since she will probably accomplish nothing in her life except self-gratification, maybe she can cancel a nail appointment and volunteer to help other girls with eating disorders. Can anyone not see how horrible she looks?!?!? I agree with most of the other posters--yes, she still looks like sh**, she was NOT plump before (but looked healthy and normal), and I too vote boob job (she's not wearing a push-up or any other bra in the photo).

74. I think she looks better.. still thin, but gaining a little weight in the face and chest area... guys, what are all the bitchy comments for?! She's trying to be healthier, and all the negative attention can't help.. and TMZ, shame on you for labeling a picture of her at her HEALTHY size "Plump"!!! That doesn't help matters at all! She already has all the stress of being a star, plus the fact that her dad is too.. the feuds with Paris Hilton, the drama with her on again/off again fiancee, DJ AM, and then...You tell an average, even on the small sized-girl, that she's "plump", multiply that by all the media attention, and then act surprised when she gets an eating disorder!? Seriously, guys... come on.

75. I think she was a little plump a few years ago. Come on look who she's competing with, hollywood & her best friend, Paris Hilton. But now she's skin & bones, she needs a happy medium.
