Nicole Richie says in a new interview that in some pictures she "definitely" looks too thin, but insists that when she looks in the mirror, "I think I look okay."


On an episode of The Tyra Banks Show she tells Banks,

"I definitely wouldn't mind gaining a few more pounds at all. I think that people's weight fluctuates. It happens. It happens to everybody."

She also blames her thin appearance on stress

"A lot of people gain weight under stress and a lot of people lose weight under stress and I am one of those people that loses weight," she says – and her body type: "I am naturally a thin person and I am 5'1" and putting on five or 10 pounds, that looks like a lot on me."

She says she is seeing a therapist weekly and recently hired a nutritionist to help her deal with stress and put on pounds.

"I just thought it was important to get the right team around me to make sure whatever I put in my body is helping me put on weight, and slowly but surely, I am doing so."

After lunching at The Ivy, Nicole Richie tries to get a word in while filming an upcoming segment for Tyra Banks talk show in Los Angeles on Wednesday.





Wow, that's one big mouth!!

Paula Abdul was being interviewed by Tyra Banks, who asked if working with Simon Cowell was as bad as working with Janice Dickinson.


Tyra said in a part of The Tyra Banks Show which airs on Thursday:

“I used to work with Janice on ‘America’s Next Top Model’ and they kind of remind me of each other,”

Paula replied:

“That’s a great analogy, because there are times where you just laugh...and then there are times you’re [cringing]. I’ll be trying to watch the performer on stage, and you can see him doing this [pokes Tyra] to me!”

To which Tyra said:

“It’s like the little boy on the playground when you’re a kid that likes you, and they hit you.”

Paula agreed and said:

“That must mean he loves me and wants to get married to me.”

Hmmm perhaps not Paula!!
