I heard a rumor...

" Nicole Richie has alighted to her MySpace page once again to deny a rumor about herself. On Monday, Page Six published a blind item implying that the star had undergone gastric bypass surgery.

The item asked:
WHICH young Hollywood starlet had secret gastric bypass surgery, but then lost too much weight? During a recent four-day stint at a health clinic, she was actually having an operation to remove the bypass.

The following day, Richie, 25, posted a message on her MySpace blog under the heading “It just doesnt [sic] stop...” The post reads:

So i gain a little bit of weight, and im acussed of having a gastric bypass surgery reversed? Its pathetic of Page Six to insinuate i have done this. Anyone that knows anything about this surgery would know that legally, you must be AT LEAST 100 pounds overweight to even have the surgery done, and is a serious, life changing procedure; not one to throw around as a joke or a rumor. I've given a statement I am in the process of putting on weight, and that should be enough. It's a shame to hear that instead of hearing supportive words, someone needs to spin it into some negative, absurd way"

I admit when I heard this rumor, I thought wow, that might actually make sense...I think there are some crazy docs in Hollywood who would do anything for the right price...Thoughts?!?
