The arms say it all

American tabloids are rife with rumours that Nicole Richie has had a gastric bypass, lost too much weight and so had the procedure reversed. The shocking thing in that rumour is not that she's had a bypass - clearly her obesity needed to be addressed - but that she eats at all. Gastric bypass or not, the woman - though at this point she might not have the breasts, hormones or menstrual cycle to actually be one - puts very little into her mouth. Sharon Osbourne has had a gastric bypass and she doesn't look like the living dead. But then Sharon Osbourne presumably still eats.
