Nicole Richie made a trip to the Neil George Salon (seriously, is she there like every day?) with her BF, faux-rocker Joel Madden, and definitely looked much more healthy and toned than we've seen her in a long while. Keep it up, Nicole… you're looking great! Wearing a black minidress with cutout trim detail (Karen Zambos' Low Scoop Dress is a similar, more basic version) over denim shorts with oval white shades and gold bracelets, Nic seemed sunny and happy. And why shouldn't she be (I mean besides the whole possible-going-to-jail for her DUI incident thing…), she's reconciled with Paris and is gearing up for the new "Simple Life" season.

Nicole Richie and BF Joel Madden left the chic Beverly Hills eatery on April 3, and were in a much better mood than the last time the two dined here. As we all know, Joel got himself into some hot water as he physically shoved a paparazzi out of the way so Nicole could get into the car, but this time, according to the X17 crew, Joel and Nic seemed a lot more pleasant… and Nicole even smiled! One for the history books! Just kidding, it's not like Nicole is an Olsen (talk about never smiling). Wearing her tried and true 12 Inch Ink J Brands with a striped tank, Alexander McQueen skull scarf (still?), gold bangles and a quilted Chanel, Nic looked super smokin' all the way around.

Talk about life imitating art! As celebutante extraordinaires Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie stepped out of Paris' West Hollywood home holding hands and dressed to the nines, it was obvious that the reason why they were being so friendly to the hoards of paparazzi was that they were filming for the new season of their massively successful reality show, "The Simple Life 5". The "scene" was supposed to be the paparazzi going crazy over the girls, when in fact, they really were! With Nicole wearing a flowing coral dress by Chloe and Paris in a metallic floral dress and gold ring, the troublsesome two were definitely eating up every minute of filming! It is great to see the girls together again like the old days, the last season of "Simple Life" definitely wasn't the same without them together!

Nicole Richie spent the day shopping at Barney's New York and Dior with beau Joel Madden on March 11, wearing a pair of dark grey blue/black skinny jeans with a red quilted Chanel, black flats, 70's inspired shades, her Hermes cuff, and a very scandalous top. Talk about throwing all caution to the wind! She began filming the new season of "Simple Life" with Paris, where (as I'm sure you already know) the pair is taking on the role of camp counselors. One of the first camps they are counseling is a fat camp, as pictures of the extras have made their way onto the internet. Talk about a recipe for disaster. Either disaster or must-see-reality-TV!

Nicole Richie has made it into the news once again, this time for being hospitalized on Friday for dehydration while filming the new season of her show "The Simple Life". Apparently, Nic was feeling not-so-hot on the set so she had an on-set doctor see what was going on in that little body of hers. She was then taken to a nearby hospital where she received intravenous fluids and then was released, so basically they loaded her up with liquid and sent her on her way. Days earlier, on February 28, Nic was seen wearing her good old "default outfit", read: super skinny dark grey jeans, patent leather Christian Louboutins, and a white tank with shades and a Missoni scarf. Still, she's looking hot.
