Richie: 'I was once branded voluptuous'

The Simple Life star Nicole Richie is bemused by the constant criticism she now gets for her thin figure because she was referred to as "voluptuous" just two years ago.

Richie, daughter of soul veteran Lionel Richie, gained the weight after going into rehab for heroin use just before setting off to Arkansas to film the first season of her hit reality show with then-pal Paris Hilton in 2003.
