Nicole Richie Hospitalized
Simple Life star Nicole Richie has been hospitalized after falling ill on the set of her reality series.
According to a source close to Richie, the 25-year-old actress was rushed to the hospital after she started to feel faint and dizzy following 20 hours of filming. The petite star was on call until 2AM last night, and was required back on the set a few hours later. After a brief cat nap, Richie was hurried through hair and make-up and was unable to eat due to a tight shooting schedule. Simple Life producers later rushed Richie to the hospital after she began to complain that she felt dizzy.
At the hospital, Richie was given fluids and food and was promptly released.
“Nicole has gained weight and is doing really well,” says the source. She is proud of that. The producers overreacted–she didn’t need to go to the hospital.”
Following her brief hospital stay, Richie’s rep issued this statement: “Nicole is home resting and will return to work this evening. We are proud of the weight that Nicole is gaining and her focus on her health.”
