Socialite Nicole Richie has checked herself into a private facility to find out why she cannot gain weight.

Just a guess, but her multiple eating disorders and cocaine habits likely have something to do with it.

Her publicist confirmed to E! News that Richie, 25, entered the facility.

“She is working with a team of doctors and specialists whose focus is nutrition,” says the rep. “It is important to Nicole that she achieve this goal in a healthy way, [but] this is not a treatment for an eating disorder.”

Richie stars in the E! series The Simple Life, along with her BFF-again Paris Hilton.

The show’s producers released a statement saying “Everyone … supports Nicole and wishes her well. We consider her a part of our family and look forward to resuming production on The Simple Life when she is ready.”
