Richie Set To Launch Her Own Perfume and More

Saturday, March 31st, 2007

It looks like it is not just acting that keeps Nicole Richie busy, but also the preparation of the launch of ‘The Simple Life‘ star’s signature perfume and various other accessories.

Nicole has aligned several business ventures for herself after she gets free from the shooting of her show.

“I’m working on a style book, plus I’m launching a jewelery and accessories line, a sunglasses line and my own perfume,” Tittle-Tattle quoted her, as telling OK! magazine.

Nicole, who has been the center of eating disorder rumors recently after she made it to the media headlines with a dramatically thinner appearance and later being diagnosed with hypoglycemia, plans to enjoy a break after earning a bounty from her signature products.

“I think I’m going to do some traveling. Summer is my favorite time of year, so hopefully I’ll also find time to just relax by the beach,” she said.

Nicole Richie Excerpts from OK Magazine

Tuesday, March 27th, 2007

Nicole Richie opens up about her health, in the new issue of OK Magazine. Read some excerpts from the interview below.

Nicole Richie OK Magazine

About the dehydration incident:
“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 even 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.”

On the most annoying rumor about her:
“I don’t care about any other rumor except the one that I have an eating disorder. That really bothers me because there are people who truly have eating disorders and it is a serious disease. To put that title on someone when it is not true is disrespectful. I’ve repeatedly said, ‘No, I don’t have an eating disorder,’ and it has fallen on deaf ears.”

On reports that she takes diet drugs:
“This is totally ridiculous. The second I gain weight it’s like, ‘She’s had gastric bypass surgery reversed!’ It’s sad because what I’ve come to realize from watching TV and reading magazines 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.”

Nicole Diagnosed With Hypoglycemia

Friday, March 23rd, 2007

The Simple Life star Nicole Richie has been diagnosed with blood disorder hypoglycemia.

The condition means the skinny socialite’s blood sugar levels are often too low to provide an adequate amount of energy for her body.

A spokesperson for Richie tells America’s People magazine, “In her ongoing effort to focus on her well-being, Nicole has recently been diagnosed with hypoglycaemia.

“She is taking steps to manage it.”

The diagnosis comes less than a month after Richie was hospitalised for dehydration after falling ill while filming the new season of her hit reality show, in which she and pal Paris Hilton have been counselling children at a health camp.

A source says, “Four or five times she’s felt really faint and almost passed out and then she has to go into her trailer for a good part of the day.”

Richie has spent the last year battling reports she has an eating disorder and recently confessed she called in a therapist and a nutritionist to help her figure out why she was so thin.

Richie Reportedly Eating Drugs, Not Food

Friday, March 23rd, 2007

Nicole Richie has been bouncing back and forth for most of her career.

The socialite has been in rehab for heroin addiction and was recently arrested for driving under the influence of marijuana and prescription drug Vicodin.

To make the situation worse, Richie has also lost a substantial amount of weight since she debuted on “The Simple Life” with her BFF Paris Hilton. Now, reports are suggesting that the stylish star has moved away from illegal drugs and on to Adderall, the drug given to ADD suffers.

Sources confirm that Richie uses the drug to stay awake and curb her appetite.

One friend told In Touch Weekly magazine, “She loves Adderall because she stays awake, and it makes her not want to eat… and she takes it even more when she’s filming.”

While Richie no longer looks as sickly thin as she did last summer, her weight at the time of her December arrest was 85 pounds.

An insider said, “She’s taking more and more lately.”

Richie’s rep denies that the star is using drugs.

Many of Hollywood’s ‘It’ girls have been linked to drugs lately. Lindsay Lohan has spent time in rehab, Britney Spears is currently undergoing treatment and Mischa Barton’s younger sister, Hania, has admitted to using drugs and was shipped off to a facility.
