Just days after announcing she was seeking medical help for her (lack of) weight problem, Nicole Richie is rumoured to have collapsed in a Hollywood nightclub.

Fellow clubgoing sources told TMZ that Nicole passed out and fell to the floor in the celebrity-favourite Hyde nightclub around 2am on Sunday morning. An employee approached Nicole and her friends and said he would call an ambulance but the friends said they would take Nicole to the hospital themselves. The unnamed friends then carried Nicole out of the club through the back door.

Nicole’s spokesperson confirmed that Nicole went to Hyde for a short time on Saturday night but denied the collapse reports.
