BURBANK, Calif. -- Lionel Richie said "Dad is on the case" when it comes to Nicole Richie's skinny-Minnie look.

The singer told "Access Hollywood" it's all about stress.

"What's happening with her right now, she's a nervous wreck," Lionel Richie said.

Lionel Richie said his daughter is "like her father, you can either blow up or you can shrink away and right now, she's just feeling a little bit of the pressures of her new business. So in this case ... she will be all right."

Nicole Richie has just written a novel and she's engaged to be married.

what is he supposed to say? "yeah, my daughter's anorexic. but it's not like i care, i'm too busy with my other wife and kid to really pay attention to her."
besides, does anyone actually expect celebrities to tell the truth? or think they 'owe' it to their public?
