Nicole Richie, whose rail-thin frame has been a source of much discussion in the media, is now joining the chorus of voices saying that she is too skinny.

“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 in its June issue. “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.”

Richie blames her severe weight loss on, in part, her December breakup with then-fiancé Adam “DJ AM” Goldstein. “I get really stressed out, and I do lose my appetite,” she says. (She and AM have been spotted together again recently.)

In an effort to put on a few pounds, Richie says she forced herself to eat – particularly high-calorie foods like burritos – but eventually sought professional help. “I started seeing a nutritionist and a doctor. I was scared that it could be something more serious.”

Nicole Richie, daughter of U.S. singer Lionel Richie, has reportedly fired her personal stylist over concerns about trust.

The 25-year-old co-star of “The Simple Life“ has ended Rachel Zoe’s 2-year tenure as her personal stylist, and one source claimed that trust was behind the controversial fashion guide’s dismissal, Us Weekly reported.

“Nicole didn’t trust Rachel anymore,” said a friend of Richie’s of last Tuesday’s firing. “Zoe didn’t take the news well.”

A representative for the stylist, whose fashion efforts have focused on size-zero actresses Mischa Barton and Lindsay Lohan, has claimed that the split of the former confidantes was amicable.

Us Weekly said that to fill the 35-year-old’s fashionable spot, Richie has hired actress Jessica Biel’s stylist, Cristina Ehrlich, to find her an outfit for the upcoming American Music Awards. (you can see her look at the pictures)
