Nicole Richie's bone-thin appearance spurred her father Lionel Richie to take her to a doctor to see if she had an eating disorder:

"I stood in front of [the doctor], just like you and I now, looked him in the eyes, and I said 'Is it anorexia?' And he said 'It isn't anorexia,'" the musician told the Swedish newspaper Expressen, according to our translator. He says Nicole's weight loss is "stress-related" and he believes it's due to his divorce from her mother and from all the media attention his daughter gets.

"I live with the constant fear that Nicole is going to become the next Princess Diana," Richie said, apparently referring to the late royal's death while she was being pursued by paparazzi. "Just to give an example of how crazy everything has become, I always know when Nicole is on her way home because she is always followed by a helicopter and seven cars. It's harassment."

Note to Lionel Richie: Asking a homeless man on Hollywood Boulevard if your daughter is anorexic does not count as "taking your daughter to the doctor." You might want to get a second opinion from someone who didn't get their medical license off of a Mickey's bottle.
