Instead of focusing on Nicole Richie's newest book The Truth About Diamonds Katie Courtic questioned Richie on her "very, very, very thin" body on the Today Show.
Richie claims she doesn't own a scale, doesn't know her weight loss digits, and that she "eats healthy". She did eat a banana the other day after her jog.
More proof of her eating can be found here, here, and here.

Conversation between Katie and Nicole over her weight loss:
COURIC: Meanwhile, I have to ask you about your weight because, of course, that is a point of controversy. You're absolutely itty-bitty. How much do you weigh? Like 90 pounds or something?
Ms. RICHIE: Oh, I don't know.
COURIC: Well, you're--you're very, very, very thin.
Ms. RICHIE: Yeah.
COURIC: A, do you have an eating disorder?
Ms. RICHIE: No, I don't.
COURIC: B, are you worried the example you're setting for young girls, getting so thin? I mean, you're--how much--how much weight did you lose? You're a small person, by the way.
Ms. RICHIE: Yes.
COURIC: How much weight did you lose?
Ms. RICHIE: I don't know, because I don't own a scale.
COURIC: But are you concerned, Nicole, that you're...
Ms. RICHIE: No, I'm--I'm not concerned. Only because I think that people think that I was just born at 21 and went on "The Simple Life." And people don't understand that I've had a whole life before that. I've always been thin. I'm also really short also.
COURIC: Yeah.
Ms. RICHIE: But I--I eat healthy.

Nicole Richie leaves the house of a friend who passed away.






tsk tsk tsk.. poor gal… She doesnt even admit to having an eating disorder.. Well, actually none of them do… Then is she confirming that she is back on hardcore drugs??? If you are anorexic-thin as Nicole is, then its got to be one of these… She is A)starving herself, B)bulimic or C) Addicted to drugs…And how can she not have a scale? She isnt fooling anybody with that one!
Good Lord, those paps couldn’t even let her grieve in private. Following her around snapping pictures of her after she leaves the house of a departed friend is absolutely inappropriate. They’ve always gone too far. This is proof.
And no, she’s not going to admit to having an eating disorder to Katie Couric on national television. She says she’s always been thin…well she’s BEYOND just thin. She’s in denial, and hopefully she comes to terms with the problem before she ends up hospitalized. It’s very sad.
Maybe she is just thin….
by the way pinkice…just because you are thin doesn’t mean you either have to be sick or an addict. and if she is sick…that doesn’t make her a bad person, it just makes her sick. refering to people with an eating disorder as “them” and saying that none of “them” admit to an eating disorder is ignorant. If she does have an eating disorder, of course she isn’t going to admit to it…because she doesn’t think there is a problem. That is why it is called a disorder.
get off her back…
No body said NONE of them admit to having an eating disorder. I said SHE’s in denial about it and until SHE is ready to get help, SHE’s not going to blast it all over national television..
Someone needs to be on her back about it, it’s self destructive. I watched my best friend deteriorate and if people hadn’t hounded her religiously she might not be with us today.
Maybe she is just thin…NOT ONE PICTURE when she was younger have I EVER seen her THIS thin.
Well nicole richie isn’t your friend, and im sure she doesn’t give a shit about your comments. Im glad your friend got help, but leave the poor girl you don’t even know alone.
Well Maybe she is thin and maybe she has an eating problem…. Doesnt change the fact that she looks hot now…. And i dont care if she and to start putting baby seals in the microwave and sprinkling bits of tin foil on them then cooking on high for 4 and a half mints… she lost the weight and went from the girl that couldnt get brown bagged by a drunken jarrod letto in a gay club…. Teach the childern teach them well… Go from the nasty peice of raccon looking peice of works she was 3 years ago to this…. Please nichole teach the children and teach them well…. God Bless this country…..
god bless this country NICKXP…you are flipping awesome. she looks great….and she doesn’t care about your fat white trash asses. Nicole is HOT! paris eats dog turds.
she was totally bloated during the simple life..so i dont know about her “i’ve always been thin” comment is coming from. she looks a LOT better now, but she is way too skinny to be “healthy”.
Well I have found a Fan out there in the misteries of the internet…. This MRYKATHRYN now i am not sure what you other girls are doing or doing wrong to have this bittterness towards attractive and skin you women but i this MRYKATHRYN has figured out a secrety here…. If you are concerned with how much Nichole weights and how she did it… I think you need to take a long look in the mirror and find that the look you are goign for some might call the kristi Alli look… and it doesnt pay here… So take your unatractive asses off the computer for about ten mins away from your support group chat on www.theweightisntmyproblem.com and do a sit up or stick your finger down there and find the skinny you… MAyeb that will releive the years of sexual tenstion built up in you 190 lbs ass and someone might show you enought attention to pry you away from your intense hater session on the Pretty and skinny…..

The first commment will be that i am just a fat ass computer dork that sits at home and waits for the next brintey spears knock off video to come out and beat off for the next two days to opps i did it again… but sorry to dissapoint to that i am am a well educated employeed 25 year old man with one hell of a career and living my life to the fullest. I am point of making these posts is to purly let you girls know that we just dont want to deal with fat chicks… i mean fat girl are for the men being woken up by the cops while sleeping in a lazyboy and in sleeping i mean passed out between his tow truck runs with a case of beer next to him smoking a cig and not surprised that the cops are in his house…. this is what is for fat girls… we men have to put up with enought shit paying for you and deal with your emotions and mood swings the least you can do is look good and skinny….. so i am not trying to be dr phil here but drop the pounds or start saving bail money for your hubby…. That is I am out
YEAH YEAH NICK IS THE SHIT! HELL YEAH! DOWN WITH FAT!
nickxp, mrykathryn…will you two be my new best friends? you guys are absolutely right…Nicole’s weight would be accepted as normal in any other country besides this one. We’ve gotten too used to seeng obese people everywhere. Do you see any celebrities dying of anorexia?! NO, not lately. Maye kate olsen got sick, yes, but she was way skinnier than nicole, she actually looked sick. nicole isn’t even bad, she’s a normal weight and all you fatasses need to learn that. She is GORGEOUS. Fat people are grotesque and should be fed to third world countries.
CoLoStOmY bAg you got Thrid world countries…. Love it… Wish i would have come up with that line…. nickxp, mrykathryn… and now new and improved with CoLoStOmY bAg…. Not sure about the name but we all got our own things i guess… I was thinking about going with eniema sack…. but whatever… It cool
Is it wrong that I’m REALLY starting to enjoy this bullshit? I feel like such a vulture!! I can’t wait until the Oprah episode a few years from now featuring a 50 lb Nicole and her has-been father.
“We had no idea she had a problem!” HA!
teelc that is going alittle far but i like your style….. 50 lbs…. shit as long as it fits in a wang dress works for me… Might be like screwing two match sticks but as long as she looks good on my arm…. Long live the queen…..
I LOVE EVERYONE WHO IS THIN! I read the other day that 9 our of 10 men and 7 our of 10 wemon will become overweight in there lifetime (in America)...I mean no wonder everyone is hating on nicole and the thin people of the country….there is about an 80% chance that they are just pissed b/c they are FAT! Down with fat! Lets make a club nick and colostomy! and YES of course you can be our new best friend!
Well that is just super…. another fact to add to my why ugly and fat people cant get ahead in the world… the only ones to make it are you super star of Anna Nichole the prefect expression of what happens when naturally fat people losse there mind… now is anyone going to tell me about her disorders… lets see normal when skinny…. crazy fat sexy crazied meth head with a bank roll…. once that dissapeared and the money was all gone guess who was skinny again…. You can ride a camel with out getting some sand in your crack so figure it out ladies…. We dont lend our selfs to your kindly to your kinda around here…... This is where is spin my six shooter and walk calmly but sternly out the double swinging doors…. LATE
NICKXP DON’T GO! WE HAVE A WHOLE WORLD TO RE-INVENT! ONE BY ONE…NO STONE UNTURNED. MAY THE FAT COME OUT OF THIER HOUSES (IF THEY CAN)...AND RISE TO THE OCCAISON. ALL FOR ONE AND ONE FOR ALL…AND NO ONE TAKES MORE THAN ONE SEAT ON A AIRPLANE. THIS IS IT FELLOW AMERICANS….THIS IS OUR LAST CHANCE.
LET FREEDOM RING AND THE FAT SING…CAUSE WE ARE GONNA TITTY WOMP YOU!
Five score years ago, a great skinny American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of skinny pretty people who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of captivity.
But one hundred years later, we must face the tragic fact that the skinny female is still not free. One hundred years later, the life of the beatuifully bodied women is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the skiny and the beutiful womens lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the trim woman is still languishing in the corners of American society and finds herself an exile in my land. So we have come here today to dramatize an appalling condition.
In a sense we have come to our nation’s capital to cash a check and not buy a cheeseburger. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all skinny sexy women would be guaranteed the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness as a non fat female.
I really feel thats she looks good! Hopefully she doesnt try to get skinnier though that would be taking it a bit to far. It really all stems down to what your taste in body types are! I like the waif look but I feel that you should’nt try to starve yourself to get that way. do it the healthy way and you will be fine.
