Nicole Richie: Doing Her Best

Keeping herself busy as she readies for her second child, Nicole Richie was spotted running around Los Angeles over the weekend.

Wearing a casual pink ensemble, the former “Simple Life” starlet dropped by her Pilates class before grabbing a bite to eat at Sharky’s.

And while she’s already been down this path before, insiders tell that Miss Richie has been a bit emotional as of late.

“Her hormones have really been kicking in and Nicole has been crying at everything from movies, to TV shows and even commercials,” a source told press. “Joel [Madden]has been tiptoeing around her making sure he doesn’t upset her - but it doesn’t seem to be working.”

Nicole Richie Takes House of Harlow to Toronto

Yesterday we saw her heading up to Canada, and this afternoon Nicole Richie was spotted at Holt Renfrew on Bloor Street in Toronto promoting the launch of her House of Harlow 1960 jewelry line.

The “Simple Life” cutie looked amazing as she posed for the paparazzi, sporting a hippie-chic black and gold sweater dress with black stockings and black heels.


Besides being a socialite and designer, Nicole has really dug into social justice issues, and she’s the latest celebrity to join the Hollywood brigade appealing for international action with the current rape crisis in the Congo.

Miss Richie put a video on her website, saying, "I am about to tell you a story about a place where babies and grandmothers are being raped on a daily basis and the reason they are being raped is directly connected to the purchases of our cell phones, of our laptops and of our ipods," referring to the civil war going on, and the funding being received for raw materials used in our electronic devices.

Nicole Richie’s Growing Baby Bump

She’s getting further along in her pregnancy term, and yesterday (April 17) Nicole Richie’s baby bump looked to have doubled in size already!

The “Simple Life” hottie was spotted grabbing some grub at Sharky’s in Toluca Lake following a Pilates workout session at a gym nearby.

Staying active throughout the day, Miss Richie was also spotted having some playtime with her daughter Harlow Winter at the Greystone Mansion and Park in Beverly Hills.

Both ladies wore smiles as they frolicked around the park, with Nicole repeatedly lifting her little one up in the air playfully despite her preggers state.
