Nicole Richie, anorexia and CNN – what do they have in common? According to US Weekly, CNN has floated a story claiming that - Nicole Richie is anorexic and seeking a treatment at an eating disorder clinic.

This is a little odd, because according to a doctor, who attributed her weight loss to stress - Nicole Richie is not anorexic.

Richie writes on her MySpace blog: “Contrary to CNN’s false accusations, I did not check myself into an eating disorder rehab…I do not have an eating disorder, and I don’t know how many times I have to say it…I am happy, and healthy, and living my life.”

In her Vanity Fair interview, she acknowledged getting help [treatment] to gain weight. In addition, she mentioned not being happy with her body image. So maybe that is how this whole “Nicole Richie is anorexic” thing got started.

I think the easiest way to put a stop to this, is to gain some weight. Easy for me to say, if she is in denial, it could be a real problem for her.
