Nicole Ritchie is Skinny.

Nicole Ritchie thrust herself into the spotlight as the stumpy sidekick of Paris Hilton in The Simple Life a Hollywood eternity ago. Once people such as myself, but with far higher readership started calling her things like "stumpy" and "sidekick", she went to great lengths to lose a grotesque amount of weight.

Yesterday, she checked herself in to a hospital for undisclosed reasons. But E! News got a statement from her reps, "She is working with a team of doctors and specialists whose focus is nutrition...".

She's going to a specialist to learn how to gain weight. Supposedly. 80% of America is agonizing over how to lose it. I think all of us could tell her the answer. Eat something, and then don't throw it up.
