A new cookbook is poking fun at Nicole Richie and her ridiculously skinny frame.
Entrepreneur Bob D. Smith has written 'The Nicole Richie Cookbook' - a collection of the stick-thin star's all-time favorite recipes. However, the bestseller is only about 40 page s and is completely blank.
The book is quickly becoming an underground sensation on the internet as the headline screams: "Kick-Butt Weight Loss Secrets and New Book About Hollywood's Skinniest Celebrity!"
It goes on to describe the book as: "Introducing the Nicole Richie Cookbook.
"Each chapter is jam packed with Nicole's favorite recipes. It even has a fake testimonial that reads: "This is the only book I've read from cover to cover. It's a real page turner that I couldn't put down. RS."
Finally it adds: "This cookbook makes a fun gift and will definitely bring a smile to your family and friends." But Smith now admits he is feeling the backlash after fans became furious that he was poking fun at her weight.
Richie who once weighed only 85lbs but since becoming pregnant seems to gave gained at least 20lbs. Smith revealed: ""I've been getting a lot of backlash and flak.
"We all can see that Nicole isn't eating very much, so a book full of recipes would be misleading and deceptive advertising. I meant it as a joke but I've gotten e-mails saying it's insensitive to people with eating disorders.
"But with over 60 percent of Americans either overweight or obese, and so much pressure to be thin at all costs, I wanted to make people laugh."
Smith is advertising the book for $8.99 and he insists he'll donate any proceeds from the joke book to an eating-disorder charity.
