Nicole Richie hangs up on interviewer over eating disorder question |
Nicole Richie says she doesn’t have an eating disorder but when a morning show talk show interviewer asked her what she ate the day before she “couldn’t remember.” Then she hung up on him.

The following audio deals with that and the Paris Hilton / Nicole feud (mp3). I have about 0.00000001% interest in Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie, never saw even one episode of The Simple Life, etc., but I thought this short audio interview was revealing. Probably more interesting to me than all episodes of The Stupid Simple Life put together.
The interviewer clearly was more interested in asking Jim Gray type questions at an inappropriate time (remember Gray asking Pete Rose about gambling during the All Century Team fesitivities?) than talking with Nicole about her book, despite her saying she only wanted to talk about the book. I sort of got uncomfortable for Nicole at one point. She got tricked, it seems on this show. Interestingly enough, the interviewer admits he is a recovering alcoholic toward the end of the piece and tries to tie in how just because she hung up over the what did you eat yesterday question, that she must have an eating disorder.
Not being one who really knows what Nicole Richie looks like (something about her hasn’t burned into my brain despite seeing several her on grocery store rags and in news articles and commercials on TV), I decided to utilyze Google images to find some recent pictures.
This one doesn’t show any ribcage tread, but this one sure does. More skin on her bones and less makeup than Paris here.
Frankly, I find none of these young women attractive and have to wonder: what’s the big deal with them? Hilton I can kind of understand with the sex tapes scandal stuff, but Nicole Richie’s claim to fame is being Lionel Richie’s adopted daughter and Paris Hilton’s friend, right? Readers can thank a post from Rocketboom’s Amanda Congdon for derailing me here.
Please add Lindsay Lohen to the list of too skinny young women. Note to women who think they are too fat (too many do): there is such a thing as being too skinny and Richie, Hilton and Lohen are good benchmarks to follow. Please get them on the McDonald’s high calorie diet post haste. Hopefully this isn’t what teenage girls these days are looking up to. Is it?
Did this post make you go hmm?

You are so right — who wants to squeeze a skeleton? I need da cushion for da pushin. Seriously, I get mad every time I’m asked “does this make me look fat?” Who the hell cares? — you’re not fat!

I have a love hate relationship with Nicole Richie. On one hand I applaud her ability to become a fashion icon and reform her former fat self. On the other hand and as I can tell from this interview, she’s got nothing going for her. She has zero personality. I laugh at the childlike voice she uses in the beginning when Jim sings her some praise and then she changes to this angry personality. She’s so pissed off because people have questions about something she did. She isnt an actress, she has no talent or anything interesting about her, other than her relationship with Paris and her skeltal frame. Its amazing to me that she can be so bitter about the only two things that are keeping her in the public eye. She wanted to be famous, she morphed herself into something of interest and then she bites the hand that feeds her. How pathetic…how truly lame, and the baby voice is annoyance overkill.
