Socialite Nicole Richie's publicists are playing down reports The
Simple Life star passed out at a Los Angeles nightclub after partying
on Saturday night. Rumors suggest staff at Hyde nightclub insisted on
calling an ambulance when Richie fainted and fell to the floor, but her
friends insisted they'd take the socialite to hospital. Sources tell
news website Tmz.com, "The friends then carried Richie out of the club
through the back door." Richie's representative confirms her client was
at Hyde briefly on Saturday night but denies she collapsed. Last week,
Richie's representatives confirmed the star had entered a treatment
facility to determine why she hasn't gained weight. (Imdb)
