Nicole Richie To Launch Fragrance


Best known for her relation to her famous father, Lionel Richie, her wacko escapades with Paris Hilton, and her recent imprint in the fashion world, this reality show star turned fashion designer is dabbling in just another area of the industry by coming out with a fragrance this September.

Nicole revealed some details about her elegant new fragrance stating, "I have a very traditional Southern mom- you never left the house without lotion, it wasn't just a one-dimensional smell-there were many different layers.” She draws inspiration from her childhood where she recollects her mother using scents of blackberry, orange, sandalwood and patchouli.

Kara Laricks came into the competition as an unlikely winner, as she started out designing ties, and truthfully, we didn’t even think she’d make it past the first round! But thanks to the fashion industry panel of judges (Jessica Simpson, John Varvatos, & Nicole Richie) Laricks was saved and ultimately stepped her game up, improving by leaps and bounds episode after first episode, and was finally pronounced the winner.

Trending: Medieval-Inspired Headpieces

Fashion icon Isabella Blow was a big fan of medieval-inspired fashion. Her wedding to Detmar Blow had a “King Arthur” theme, and she (naturally) wore a stunning silver headpiece. As it often does, year’s later mainstream fashion has started to take Isabella’s lead. Medieval headpieces have recently been spotted on runways from Paris to Milan and on fashionable ladies such as Nicole Richie, Elizabeth of Chic Heroin, and Margherita Missoni.

Diverging slightly from last year’s trend of wraparound headbands, a headpiece is usually made from a light metal and will encompass design elements like a jewel over the forehead or a loose chain connecting the front to the back.

Nicole Richie Is Not Pregnant

Many tabloids reported last week that Nicole Richie was pregnant, publishing new photos of her.

But the star shot down the rumors on Friday.

"Contrary to recent speculation, I am not pregnant," she says in a statement. "This irresponsible reporting continues to feed an atmosphere of self-doubt and insecurity. To publicly point out a change in anyone's body is mean-spirited and cruel. People's bodies change and change again. This is not newsworthy and is a waste of valuable media space that should be used for more important issues."

Richie is already the mom of two, Harlow, 3 and 1 1/2-year-old son Sparrow.

Nicole and Joel Get Married!

Who already thought these crazy kids were married?

No surprise that these two celebrities make it official with a “winter themed wedding” in Beverly Hills. (Why a winter themed wedding? The bride loves the season… her daughter’s middle name is Winter Kate)

It was a rather intimate affair, holding 150 of the couple’s closest friends and family. The ceremony took place in the home of Nicole’s famed father, Lionel Richie. Nicole’s best friend, Masha Gordon, was the maid of honor, while the bride’s daughter, Harlow, was the flower girl.

For those seeking a more formal atmosphere, accompanied by higher prices and increased chances of coming across Nicole Richie and Joel Madden, perhaps the Polo Lounge - located upstairs from the Fountain Room - would be a better fit. For others seeking a more casual atmosphere, amongst Hollywood's proverbial movers and shakers - folks you many not recognize, but could get a kick out of eavesdropping over conversations about scripts that might just turn into movies you'll see in two years - the Fountain Coffee Room is a great choice.
