Nicole Richie was sent to the hospital Friday while filming The Simple Life. She fell ill and was treated by a doctor on the set, then was taken to a hospital close by. She received IV fluids for 15 minutes and was released. Her rep released a statement saying:

“Nicole is home resting and will return to work this evening. We are proud of the weight that Nicole is gaining and her focus on her health.”

She sought treatment last October to find out why she was having difficulty putting on weight. Hmmm. I think I know the answer to that one. EAT. Then eat some more. It’s that simple.
