Nicole Richie, a former heroin user who is now facing DUI charges, warns fans not to aspire to her wayward ways.
"I don't walk around pretending that I'm perfect, so I don't think anyone should hold me to that,” Nic told Nylon magazine. “The dangerous thing is that there are 16-, 17-, 18-year-olds that people consider to be role models. I'm so happy I wasn't famous back then. You'd think I was the devil."
But when it comes to an even more “weighty” issue, the “Simple Life” star is determined to thin-out the rumors.
"It's really sad how obsessed America is with weight. It's sick,” she said. "I've never gone a day without putting food in my mouth. I've never sewn my mouth shut. I've never gone on a liquid diet. So I want to know why I'm the face for a problem."
As for the question on everybody’s lips — is the Tinseltown tiny expecting?
According to In Touch Weekly, Richie and rocker beau Joel Madden were busted buying baby books at Barnes & Noble last week.
“They were in the children’s section looking at baby books,” shopper Ruth Suarez snitched to the mag. “They were holding hands and seemed like a really cute couple.”
In Touch also recently reported that Richie has quit cigarettes and alcohol, and even went as far as to get out of a car after a friend lit up.
Sheriff Feared for Hilton’s Life in Prison
It seems there really was a reason why the sheriff at the Lynwood Detention Center sent Paris Hilton home on house arrest early in her slammer stay, and it wasn’t all to do with a packed prison.
“I think we all in this room know something about suicide,” Sheriff Lee Baca told a hearing called by the five-member county Board of Supervisors. “As the sheriff of this county, I’m not going to let any inmate die in our jails,” he said.
“If I know something that can be done that solves the medical problem ... What’s worth more? Serving time in the county jail for driving on a suspended driver’s license or a person losing their life?”
Hilton has since admitted that she suffered from claustrophobia, which made her cell-stay even more stressful.
To Dye For: Britney Spears' Hair Disaster
Despite being a multi-million dollar music mogul, Britney Spears reportedly still wanted to do a DIY dye job — which is a recipe for ruination when you’re going from bleached to blackish.
According to TMZ, while “In the Zone” of becoming a brunette babe, the Britster seemed to somehow pour the chemicals across her face.
Her assistant apparently rushed off to the Epitome Salon in Bel Air at around 6 p.m. on Saturday and returned to the stressed singer with some dye-removal solution.
Swimwear Stylin' for Simpson
Busty beauty Jessica Simpson has well and truly moved on from John Mayer, dedicating her time and energy to becoming a swimwear specialist.

An insider has splurged to In Touch magazine that the line features a diverse range of humble one-pieces and scanty suits.
And the star is apparently so devoted to the designs that she’s personally picking the models.
Not only is Simpson going swimmy, but she’s going smelly, too. Perfume and beauty products maker Parlux Fragrances Inc. announced Wednesday that it has brought Simpson on board to launch a signature fragrance.
Embarrassing Wind for Timberlake?
Pop prince Justin Timberlake may be a music mogul, but he still suffers the same embarrassing problems as the rest of us mere mortals.

“Justin had a long list of demands, including anti-wind tablets,” an insider snitched to the paper. “Beanos are difficult to get in Europe.”
Apparently JT also likes two dressing rooms to himself and demands a steady room temperature of 72 degrees.

CopyKat: Britney Spears Wants to Be Katie Holmes?
Pop princess Britney Spears reportedly is tired of her “Toxic” taste and wants to look a little more like Katie Holmes.
"Britney wants to go from trashy to classy," a source close to the singer told Australian NW magazine. “And she's spending a fortune in the process."
According to the mag, Spears went on a Hollywood Boulevard bender at Neiman Marcus with a personal stylist, looking for Katie-esque items such as fitted jackets and silky skirts.
“She wanted to buy 'the kind of stuff Katie Holmes wears,'” a witness told NW.
Perhaps Mrs. Cruise’s dark locks have inspired Brit to become a brunette beauty, as well.

The source also added that while the movie moguls remain friends, there is no chance of a romantic reunion.

Bulimic 'Breakaway' for Kelly Clarkson
She may be a natural woman with curves and contours, but Kelly Clarkson suffered from bulimia for six months after she missed out on a role in her high school musical.
The "American Idol" told CosmoGirl! that she thought if she came back “cuter and thinner” from binging and purging, she’d score the coveted character.
"One of my guy friends caught on to it, and I just felt so ashamed and embarrassed," Clarkson confessed. "I literally went cold turkey and snapped out of it."
But since her depression, the “Miss Independent” has accepted that she is Greek and therefore “has a butt."
“I think it’s good for people to see I’m normal,” she said.
Paris a Poor Pet Protector?
Paris Hilton has been allowing her cat and canine companions to cause chaos, the New York Post reported.
"She had a little orange kitty about a year ago that kept getting out and we kept telling her it was outside. She didn't seem like she cared, and then one day the cat got run over in the middle of the street and died,” Paris’ next-door-neighbor Shelby Segall told the New York Post.
“Not long after, little Tinkerbell [her Chihuahua] came to my door and I left a note on her gate. Her assistant came over frantic and tried to offer me a $40 reward. I said, 'Don't insult me.'"
Another neighbor also told the paper that she rescued two of Paris’ pups from a busy road and it took the hotel heiress over three hours to come and collect them.

Leininger didn't mention if CNN was paying for the interview, and a Hilton spokesman didn't immediately return a call for comment.

According to the mag, Simpson turned to celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak and followed his “5-Factor” diet — shedding over 20 pounds to prep for the filming of her new flick, “Major Movie Star."
