Singer Lionel Richie talks about his daughter Nicole Richie's weight loss, saying, "Dad is on the case," in an interview with "Access Hollywood." The R&B legend added that he believes the stress of Nicole's expanding career is most likely the reason for her smaller frame. "I know what's happening with her right now, she's a nervous wreck," he said. "She's like her father, you can either blow up or you can shrink away and right now, she's just feeling a little bit of the pressures of her new business. So in this case... she will be alright."

The interview airs on "Access Hollywood," Monday, November 21,2005 (check local listings for time and station).
