The Incredible Shrinking Nicole Richie

Nicole Richie seems to get smaller with each new paparazzi pic that burns up bandwidth on the Internet and column inches in the tabloids.  The one-time healthy looking star of the 'Simple Life' seems to be incredibly shrinking even more.

Buying kids clothes now?

Many fans are concerned and now 'In Touch' is reporting that Nic has reduced in size so much that she may be reduced to wearing kid clothes.

The tabloid teases for its upcoming issue:

Seeing a celebrity shopping at the upscale Fred Segal store in Los Angeles is nothing out of the ordinary, except super-skinny Nicole Richie was browsing the racks of designer clothing in the kids’ department!

“Nicole has a difficult time buying clothes now that she’s so thin,” shares a friend of the star. “Even size 0 seems to be too big.”

The 24-year-old’s appearance has her friends and family more and more concerned.
