Nicole Richie is obsessed with twins.

'The Simple Life' star has revealed she is desperate to have twin boys - because she once owned twin dogs.

She explained: "I love twin boys. I think they are so cute. I've had twin dogs before. They were cute. I just love twins."

As well as twin boys Nicole, 25, also wants to have three girls, but doesn't want them to be triplets.

She added: "I'm going to have five kids. I'm going to have three girls and twin boys. Meanwhile, it has been revealed that Nicole is getting help because she can't put on weight.

The super-slim star has been continually dogged by claims that she suffers from an eating disorder, which she has always strenuously denied.

Her spokeswoman has now said: "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."

Earlier this year, Nicole admitted she had problems with her weight but partly blamed it on her split from Adam 'DJ AM' Goldstein.

She said at the time: "I know I'm too thin. I'm not happy with the way I look."
