"I'm more sensitive; I take it more so personal," Richie said. "I must tell you, I'm the basket case."
When asked if he talked to Nicole about being so thin, Richie said: "Of course, I mean, what are fathers for if you can't point the finger every once in a while."
He said the co-star of TV's "The Simple Life" has been told the same advice all her life, but this is a reminder.
