(END VIDEO CLIP) HAMMER: Tonight, only SHOWBIZ TONIGHT can bring you this special report, chasing Angelina. Hello, I`m A.J. Hammer in New York. And the not so simple life of Nicole Richie is an even bigger mess tonight. Paris Hilton`s thin as a rail Simple Life co-star got herself arrested today for driving under the influence. But wait, there`s more to this. Because of the arrest, we now know just how much the poster child for super skinny Hollywood really weighs. And SHOWBIZ TONIGHT can tell you this, Nicole Richie has definitely got a problem. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) HAMMER (voice-over): No one has been under more scrutiny about their weight in recent months than Nicole Richie. The celebrity magazine covers are evident and now Richie has been arrested for suspicion of driving while under the influence. SHOWBIZ TONIGHT has this mug shot of Nicole, and police tell us that Richie was going the wrong way on a freeway, was stopped in a carpool lane, talking on her cell phone and told police, she had been smoking pot and popping Vicodin. It`s not the arrest that shocked the SHOWBIZ TONIGHT news room, it`s the one detail in Richie`s booking sheet that startled everyone. SHOWBIZ TONIGHT has obtained Nicole Richie`s arrest sheet and when we saw Nicole Richie`s personal stats, height, 5`1, weight, 85 pounds — that`s right, I said, 85 pounds. We asked the question, is Nicole Richie indeed too thin for her own good? JESSICA WEINER, “DO I LOOK FAT IN THIS”: I think it`s an alarming weight. But I don`t know that we should be surprised by that. We have to differentiate between the spin that we get from publicists who want to control the story and talk about recovery when there might not be a lot of recovery there. And we also have to really focus on our skewed perception of weight in this country. HAMMER: And Nicole Richie`s weight is an alarming number. SHOWBIZ TONIGHT checking with the experts. According to the CDC, the Centers for Disease Control, a 5`1 woman weighing 85 pounds is considered underweight. Nicole Richie`s body mass index is 16, far below what`s considered normal, between 18.5 to 24.9. More : edition.cnn.com |
