Usmagazine.com has learned that 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 on Saturday after she started to feel faint and dizzy following 20 hours of filming. The petite star was on call until 2 a.m. Saturday morning, 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."

Courtney Love claims on her Web site that there was a big pile of white powder in the rest room at Paris Hilton's birthday party on Oscar eve. Now the head of the Foundation for Jewish Camping is skeptical about Paris and Nicole Richie's stint as camp counselors on the next season of "The Simple Life." "Counselors are trained, recruited, and tested," said Jerry Silverman. "We take [it] very seriously."

PLASTIC SURGERY SECRET BEHIND NICOLE RICHIE'S SEXY NEW LOOK

There's a secret to Nicole Richie's healthier new look — "The Simple Life" star simply underwent breast augmentation to round out her stick-thin figure. "Nicole has worked hard to put on some weight, but she also got breast implants from a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon about six weeks ago," a source close to the actress told The ENQUIRER. "The effect has been amazing. She looks great and feels great. And her new boobs have given her more confidence than she's ever had before." The troubled wild child, who has been under medical treatment to add pounds to her 5-foot-2 frame, has been the subject of eating disorder speculation for the past two years. But in the last few weeks, she's emerged looking healthier and rounder than she has in years. Not only has The ENQUIRER confirmed Nicole's breast augmentation with a well-placed source, but a leading doctor who examined photos of her agrees there is no doubt what's behind Nicole's sudden growth spurt. "Nicole has gained a little weight, five pounds at the most — but her breasts have increased from AA to B, which is out of proportion to her relatively small weight gain," Detroit-based plastic surgeon Dr. Anthony Youn told The ENQUIRER.
