Nicole Richie’s Small Talk

“NICOLE Richie is glowing,” says OK!. And this is not because the infamously stick-thin celebrity is standing in front of a naked light bulb.

It is because she has a new boyfriend. He’s called Brody Jenner, and he a “hunky slice of beefcake”.

There is no little irony in likening delicious, scrumptious etc. Brody to food. And OK!, which is chewing the fat with Nicole, is quick to get to its point.

It wants to know if Nicole is fed up with the media piling on talk about her weight.

“I am a little sick of it, yes,” replies Nicole. OK! listens. “Do you feel that you are underweight?” it wonders. A simple yes or no would suffice but Nicole chooses instead to tell us that she is 5ft 1in and has been to rehab. And, as she says, you gain a lot of weight in rehab.

You also gain weight when you are pregnant. And babies are Nicole’s bread and butter. “I’m going to have five,” she says. “I’m going to have three girls and twin boys.”

That’s some ambition.  “I love twin boys,” says Nicole. “I think they are so cute. I’ve had twin dogs before. They were cute. I just like twins.”

Sure thing. But Nicole, who seems to have trouble eating for one, may find it tricky eating for two or three or four or five.

But perhaps she’s joking. Nicole says she looks for “humor” in her fiends. And Nicole finds it in her current pals Lindsay Lohan and Micha Barton. But not Paris Hilton. Nicole says she will never be friends with her again.

“I laugh with my friends 24 hours a day,” says Nicole. “I cry form laughing every day.”

Not that Nicole is half-baked or as nutty as a fruitcake. She laughs all day because she is very, very, very, very, very happy. Unless, of course, she is out to lunch.

In which case we wish her every success with it. All 5ft 1in of her…
