• Nicole Richie’s spokesperson has revealed that the socialite’s recent fainting incidents are the result of hypoglycemia, ie low blood sugar. Nicole is reported to have collapsed on the set of The Simple Life earlier this week, following a similar incident that required her to be taken to hospital earlier in the month. Her spokesperson added: “[She] is taking steps to manage it. Nicole has reported to work each day and the results have been fantastic.”
  • Joss Stone has reportedly vowed never to work with Harper’s Bazaar magazine again after they retouched photos to remove her nose ring and change the colour of her hair. The pink-haired star has reportedly told friends: “Some fashion magazine. I’ll never work with them again.” A spokesperson for Harpers Bazaar denies there is a problem: “All we can say is that we’ve had nothing but positive feedback from [Stone’s] people. I can’t confirm whether her nose ring and hair were digitally altered.”
  • A DNA sample has been taken from Anna Nicole Smith’s daughter Dannielynn as ordered by a Bahamian judge earlier this week. Howard K Stern took the tot to a doctor’s office in Nassau yesterday morning for the sample and Larry Birkhead was also there to be tested. Howard wasn’t required to provide a sample himself as he is presumed by law to be the father since he is named on the birth certificate. The samples have reportedly been now sent to a lab in Ohio and the results will be returned early next week.
