Nicole Richie blames her first collapse on lack of cereal, says she’s not engaged


In a new interview in Ok! Magazine, Nicole Richie explains her first collapse on the set of “A Simple Life” by saying she cranked the heat up too high in her dressing room that day and that staff was slow in delivering the bowl of cereal she requested. She says she doesn’t have an eating disorder and that rumor is the only one that bothers her. And she calls recent claims that she’s on Adderall, “ridiculous”

What happened with the dehydration incident on your show’s set?
It actually made me really upset because I did not need to go to the hospital at all - it’s just another headline. I was just tired, and I left the [hospital] after 10 minutes.

What led up to it?
The hours that I’m doing are really crazy right now. I was getting my hair and makeup done in the morning and I turned the heat on to 90, which I probably shouldn’t have done, but I like it really hot in my room. I hadn’t eaten breakfast yet and I asked for a bowl of cereal, but when you’re on a big set it has to go through 15 people to get to me. I walked outside and I just wasn’t feeling like myself. There wasn’t an on-set doctor, so instead they took me to a hospital. There was absolutely nothing wrong with me.

She goes on to say that she’s not weight-obsessed and that it’s America that has the problem, not her.

It’s sad because what I’ve come to realize from watching TV and reading magazine is that it’s not me that’s weight-obsessed, America is weight-obsessed. It’s either, “This person has an eating disorder,” or “How to lose 5 pounds in 10 days.” Everything is about diet and body image.

She has a point there, but I’m still not entirely buying her explanation. It does sound like she was really hungry though and that’s why she collapsed the first time. Since this article went to press she had a second collapse on the set. I bet she’ll downplay that one too.

Richie wouldn’t explain why she had a long-standing feud with Paris Hilton, simply saying that friends have their ups and downs and that Paris is like a sister to her. She also claims that she’s not engaged to her boyfriend singer Joel Madden despite the ring she’s been seen wearing on the telltale finger.

Richie says she’s launching a jewelry and accessories line, and will have her own perfume soon. She’s also authoring a style book. As for Richie’s most useful style tip, she says that headscarves are the key to hiding bad beach hair in the summer

  7. she’s a beautiful girl - it’s so very sad that she’s still coming up with lies to explain her physical weakness

  8. I also agree that society seems to be weight obsessed, but it started BECAUSE of these stars & models that think they have to be a size -3 to look good on camera. So, nicole, don’t blame US, blame your friends and co-workers. Maybe if people like HER would start trying to look HEALTHY, other stars would too, and then we could get these girls to stop passing out from starvation.

  11. she is a scrawny little bitch.
    let her write a book about how to make jail clothes more stylish, and about which rehab center has the best spa. maybe she could include techniques on how to suck the right lawyers cock so that they can get you out of even having to show up for court at the hearing for your second DUI. stupid girl.

  13. Why do the media bother with the charades that they do???
    Nicole can’t tell the truth so why bother asking?

    She’d do her fans and the readers of the mag a service if she just said ‘no comment’
    Then the same speculation would swirl around her but she’d have a TINY bit more respect (but not much)
    I hate to say it but Paris has the right idea in that respect

  14. So, does that mean that she is just stupid? She hasn’t figured out yet that those numbers on the thermostat correspond to temperatures? They have to force feed her on the set because she can’t be responsible for taking care of herself?
