Nicole Richie Shows Off Her Pregnant Self

There has been a marked lack of public sightings of Nicole Richie as of late.  But she has been large and in charge the past few days during a trip to New York City.

The Simple Life starlet and her Good Charlotte rocker boyfriend Joel Madden were spotted shopping in Soho.  They were dressed in matching goth garb, and looked to be enjoying themselves.

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden Hit The Salon, Hospital?

Four months pregnant, a healthy-looking Nicole Richie was spotted leaving the Neil George Salon in Beverly Hills on Wednesday (August 8). The “Simple Life” star was accompanied by rocker boyfriend Joel Madden, who made his best attempts to shield Nicole from the swarm of cameras.

This outing came just after reports surfaced claiming that Richie was rushed to a hospital recently, over fear that she was suffering a miscarriage.

Nicole Richie: Ready For Baby Weight

Despite eating disorder rumors, and an unusually thin appearance, Nicole Richie says she’s prepared to put on a few extra pounds as she moves along in her pregnancy.

She says that gaining even 50 pounds is worth it, if that means that her baby will be healthy and happy.  She’s already 10 pounds closer, as a result of being preggers for the past 4 months.

Nicole Richie Was High On Drugs

Nicole Richie admitted during a recent interview that she had smoked marijuana and taken Vicodin prior to being arrested for a DUI last December. The confession was part of an exclusive interview Diane Sawyer had with Richie, in which Sawyer was able to get Richie to open up about the entire experience.

It appears that the past couple of month’s experiences have forced a change in Nicole’s personality. With the enormous stress of first time mothers, the recent cancellation of her reality TV show with Paris Hilton, and a little jail time; it comes as little surprise that the Simple Life star has opted for a little humility.

Nicole Richie Confirms Pregnancy

As if we needed to ask!  She’s all but completely disappeared from the party scene, and no one has spotted her in the public eye lately.  And finally Nicole Richie came clean about her bun in the oven.

Diane Sawyer was interviewing Nicole when the question came up.  The Simple Life star said simply, “Yes I am… I’m almost four months.” Thus, the rumors have finally been proven true.
