Dickinson: Nicole was 'stressing her body out'

Janice Dickinson is glad close friend Nicole Richie is receiving professional advice for her alleged eating disorder, because she was worried 'The Simple Life' star was "stressing her body out".

The former supermodel, 52, knows all too well the consequences of failing to eat healthily, because she suffered from anorexia when she was younger.

Dickinson now hopes Richie will overcome her weight "issues" soon.

"I don't think Nicole is a healthy size," she said. "She was barely eating, only drinking (energy drink) Red Bull and going out every night. She was stressing her body out. She has issues but she's getting help."
