Nicole Richie Opens Up to Tyra Banks About Never, Ever Eating. Ever.

Nicole Richie can't hide out anymore. She's opening up instead.

On The Tyra Banks Show Tuesday, Richie addressed her former friend and current bitter enemy. No, not Paris Hilton. Food.

"It's horrible, especially when you're trying to do something about it [her weight] and you have just so many eyes watching you and people talking about you," said the invisible waif.

With so much attention put on her Richie's lack of a body, the paparazzi pose a problem. They're always snapping pictures ... when they can actually see the possible new girlfriend of Brody Jenner, that is.

"It's summer, everyplace to go eat you obviously eat outside ... I'm not eating for the cameras, I live in LA, I do what I normally do," said Richie.

"What really bothers me is when I go to the beach because when I go to the beach, they want me in the swimsuit."

The alien has a point. Swimsuits at the beach? That's like Brooke Hogan without her father's coat tails to ride.
