skinny = pretty

People reported last night that my forever-boo, Miss Nicole Richie (affectionately referred to as NicRichie) just entered a clinic in order to gain some weight. I for one feel both disappointed and betrayed by this decision - I mean, if I could think of one thing that the world does not need, it would be another fat person. Damn you, NicRichie!

According to People Magazine -

"Nicole Richie has decided to undergo diagnostic treatment to determine why she's not been putting on any weight," her rep tells PEOPLE in a statement. "She is working with a team of doctors and specialists whose focus is nutrition. It is important to Nicole that she achieves this goal in a healthy way as this is not a treatment for an eating disorder."

Richie's thinness has been the subject of much debate – which she addressed in May when she told Vanity Fair magazine, "I know I'm too thin right now. I'm not happy with the way I look right now." She also said at the time that she was consulting with a nutritionist and a doctor, but blamed her weight loss in part on the breakup with her then-fiance, Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein.

"She's tired of everyone saying you don't eat, because she does," a source close to Richie tells PEOPLE. "She wants to gain weight. It wasn't anyone saying you have to go do this – it wasn't an intervention. It was her saying I'm tired of people saying this about me, I'm going to go get some tests. It was a personal decision."

Richie, 25, is starring in the fifth season of The Simple Life and will resume filming, as scheduled, in mid-November.
