LIONEL SAYS IT'S JUST NERVES.

Nicole Richie's ever shrinking size has been the topic of discussions among tabloids for months now. Well, her pappa Lionel Richie blames it not on an eating disorder, but on nerves. He told Access Hollywood "I know what's happening with her right now, she's a nervous wreck. She's like her father, you can either blow up or you can shrink away. And right now, she's just feeling a little bit of the pressures of her new business. So in this case ... she will be all right. Dad is on the case."
I really like Nicole. She seems sweet and down to earth. Plus, we give her props for getting rid of that dead weight whore Paris. I do believe she has cleaned up her life and that the weight loss is in no way connected to The Drugs either, as others have speculated. Not to mention the fact that her boy DJ A.M. is now total clean and sober dude. I hope Lionel is right and that it's just nerves and the pressure of her blossoming career & not an eating disorder that is making her eat less. He is her dad after all so we have to give him some cred.
