Can you handle the TRUTH?

Page Six posted a blind item today about a Hollywood celebrity who had gastric bypass and who recently had a stint in rehab. Rumors are circulating the the celebrity is none other than the the stick figure formerly known as Nicole Richie.

Well, we were told, by a VERY reliable source, a little while back that NICOLE RICHIE DID IN FACT HAVE GASTRIC BYPASS! We waited to share this bit of news, but with Page Six's blind item, we couldn't hold it in anymore.

Nicole got the procedure done after the first season of The Simple Life (I guess seeing your somewhat chunky frame on tv will have that effect on a person with oodles of money and zero work ethic), so she took the fairly easy and quick road and went through with the surgery. Apparently, only 2 doctors in the area would perform the procedure on someone with just a bit of extra baggage, rather than the standard of full-on obesity. Nicole didn't care that it was such a risky surgery for someone in her situation, she wanted to be skinny FAST. I'm sure that she had some friendly coaxing by her bf/fiance at the time - DJ AM - who had gastric a few years back (he, on the other hand, was actually obese).

So, all those times she said she was not anorexic but was having trouble putting on weight, she was actually telling the truth. Except the dumb bitch left out that she made the stupid decision of putting her life in risk instead of dropping a healthy 10 lbs. or so with diet and excercise. The rich will always take an easy road when one is made available to them. I don't wish healthy on someone who doesn't wish it on themselves.

There you have it, the truth (I'm serious; I am NOT making this up) about Nicole "I'm a skeletal snob" Richie.
