I love that shirt!! Aww I feel bad for Lionel..his album btw is soooooo good!!

Give me her credit card.

she is soooooo skinny!! why, she is a pretty girl!

The next Princess Diana? Oh, Lionel....I would be more scared that she's gonna be the next Karen Carpenter! How can she walk on those toothpicks??? (don't get me wrong, I like Nicole...I just like more with 15 more lbs)

daddy should put his foot down and get her into rehab. She needs treatment for her anorexia and for her need of attention IMO.

I love Lionel Ritchie, but the man is clueless...

Ditto that jenna!

But SJP she is not anorxic, she told us and we have to believe her if she says so !!

there speaks his fatherly love out of him.

Karen Carpenter is right, merryun. It's scary. I really feel bad for her

I don't trust her bony ass, theotherhalf...
hehehe

Shuttup lionel!

The only thing that nicole has in common with Princess Diana iis that Diana is a woman, and nicole is barely one. You're her daddy and u need to shut up and help her on the d/l, dont talk to the public about how "worried" you are because it's obvious you didn't have enough say in her life to keep her out of drugs -- you DEF dont have enough power to keep her out of an eating disorder. The only thing you've taught your daughter is "Put it on my dad's credit card." which she uses quite often on the simple life. Don't become the next Dina Lohan, trying to divert attention from the real issue and being an enabler!

You said it IHaveEsPn !!!

"Don't become the next Dina Lohan, trying to divert attention from the real issue and being an enabler!"

Amen Sister!

I love that Lionel has so much concern for his daughter, I just wish he had concern for his daughter in real life, not just in the press....

That girl needs help, and pronto!

thanks guys, I'm glad u agree!!

You don't tell Lionel Richie to shut up!

LOL peep Ahoy!

Exactly I haveESPN!

Lionel- your daughter is not a movie star, so WHY THE HECK do you think people are interested in her? Because she is the prime example of what teenage girls SHOULD NOT be apiring to!

People want to gawk at her because she is a walking skeleton, so please, do not compare her to Lady Di, she was in an entirely different league then your daughtee. Nicole is a sweet girl, most likely, hungry too, but she needs help, and the whole world is waiting for YOU to step in.

I really need to do spell check!

I actually agree with the point about Lionel being clueless, however, I happen to be an avid fan of Dancin' on the Ceiling.

is that all is he worried about!! omg!! whats wrong with these people? i doubt very much she is followed home by a Helicopter, i dont believe it. Maybe some cars, yes

There aren't any streets in LA where she could drive fast enough to be the next Princess Diana. He should worry about that bony collarbone instead.

Please don't insult Princess Diana!! WTF has Nicole done? NOTHING but be STD's side kick!! Lionel is delusional if he thinks his half famous daughter could even hold a candle to Princess Diana.

i'm not dissing lionel's music Peep -- more power to his talent

i just think as a father, he should keep his power over his daughter within the family. This is too serious an issue to talk about to the uncaring media. We dont really care what he says...we only listen to what he says because it has to do with "Nicole" and "Weight" because it's a form of entertainment, and nothing more. Not talking about it gives him the power.

But if he must talk about the paparazzi, he should say "My daughter's issues are between her and I; we're taking care of it. That is our business. In the meantime, if you want to help, please back off her personal space a little, as these stalking vehicles and cameras have become dangerous, and I dont want anything to happen to anybody." And leave it at that.

I love that shop she is in though....cute stufffffffffff

instead of talking to the press why doesn't he ACTUALLY help his adopted child...she is inwardly crying out for help and none of them are listening.

Hire a good chef and nutritionist for her, and let her eat wisely and calorie dense and in peace at home. Daddy is casting blame on everyone else, because he knows He will take full blame when she dies early, not if... I'm sure Karen Carpenters' parents thought she was just troubled, stressed from all the fame.

I'm sorry, but it almost sounds like Lionel is proud of all the attention Nicole gets.

And there is no comparing Nicole to Princess Diana.

DulceSkye...I agree with you. Something very disappointing about his comments here.

Everytime I see pics of her, I wanna feed her with pure butter! *sighs*

yes skye, the reason she gets attention is not a good reason.

I honestly think Nicole likes the way she looks. She seems proud

I love her shirt!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

People w/ eating disorders often continue because they love the attention and control it gives them.

Lionel should be more concerned about his daughter walking on stilts all over town. She did fell the other day, trying to go down the steps on these stilts, remember?

She still lives with him? All the more reason for him to be even more concerned and help her! I agree DulceSkye he almost sounds proud about it!

emaciation is the new pink. way to go.

lol @ poe

ok u guys ihave a question, is nicole really how shes like in the simple life? becuz if thats how she is i dont think i like her at all..

Why is he comparing Nicole to Princess Diana?

Oh wow, I love Lionel's music...but...Why is he comparing this skinny, former heroine addict to the Princess of Peace?? WTF?!!?

Good question, Fantasia. She's nasty in that show. I hate it that she cannot stop saying the word "beach" (modified so that my post is not flagged).

Exactly..if he is so concerned he should hire a lunch truck to follow her and the 11 cars of photographers and the helicopters. She seriously needs to eat.

I think she looks cuuuute!!!

Yes Nicole is really like how she is in Simple Life. I used to like her but now I don't like her. I think that she thinks it's okay to be that thin. Can't she see that she has a problem? I'm sure she does but she chooses to stay that thin because she wants to be in all the magazines and get praise for being a skeleton. It's sad that our society praises empty headed skeletons as IT girls or fashionistas.

she does ask for it there are some popular celebs that are living the happy medium between being socalites and shut ins...you don't get stalkarotzzi pics of them at the hotest clubs because they go somewhere else like they DON'T have lunch @ the ivy. ever.

I love what she's wearing, and for the helicopters meh " everybody comes to hollywood"

if she did end up dead (God forbid) it would most likely be of starvation..

i would like the stars to try to do something about the paps no matter what the situation. someone else is going to get hurt by them idiots, and i hope no child is involved, sad thing is it will probably take more deaths and injuries before anything ever is done.

She's looking better, right..

...okay I tried.

You guys, I think she and Paris's personas are grossly exaggerated on "The Simple Life"--esp. this past season. Obviously, Paris was supposed to be the "nice" one (it's "HER" show, afterall ) & Nicole was supposed to be the witchy one. However, I think Nicole is hilarious, personally. She doesn't take herself seriously and she's completely sarcastic. You have to look at it that way, because that's what it is--she's just being sarcastic and ironic.
