Thin's NOT In

This just in: Nicole Richie is too thin! (Well, duh!) But what is news is that the Simple Life star is finally admitting that her bod isn't so hot when it's rail thin. "I know I'm too thin right now, so I wouldn't want any young girl looking at me and saying, 'That's what I want to look like,'" Richie tells Vanity Fair. "I do know that they will, which is another reason I really do need to do something about it. I'm not happy with the way I look right now." Nicole says she lost her appetite when she split with then-fiancé DJ AM, but now she's forcing herself to eat high-calorie food and getting professional help from a psychiatrist and a nutritionist. "I want to be able to take whatever comes to me and not physically break down every time hard things come my way, because hard things are always going to come my way," she says. "I'm really trying to make it so I have the proper tools to deal with life." Congrats, Nicole -- we're rootin' for ya!
