Petite 'Simple Life' star Nicole Richie has entered a hospital treatment program suffering from a mystery illness reports NW magazine.
Sources close to the socialite are concerned she may have a rare and potentially fatal blood disease.

Reps have confirmed a frail-looking Nicole, 25, is not being treated for anorexia or bulimia, with rumors rife that her inability to gain weight could be linked to a serious medical condition.

"Nicole has decided to undergo diagnostic treatment to determine why she's not been putting on any weight.
"She is working with a team of doctors and specialists whose focus is nutrition. It is important to Nicole that she achieves this goal in a healthy way as this is not a treatment for an eating disorder."

She said: "I know I'm too thin right now. I'm not happy
