Exclusive: Sources Say Richie Collapses at Hyde

Posted Oct 29th 2006 9:02PM by TMZ Staff

Sources tell TMZ that Nicole Richie passed out at Hyde nightclub early Sunday morning in Hollywood.

We're told it occurred just before 2 a.m., when Richie passed out and fell to the floor. An employee approached Richie and her friends and said he was calling 911. Sources say they told the employee not to make the call and that they would take Richie to a hospital. The friends then carried Richie out of the club through the back door. TMZ does not know if Richie went to the hospital.

Before Richie collapsed, we're told she hung out for awhile with Lindsay Lohan inside the club. Lohan had her own bizarre tale early Sunday morning on a street in Hollywood.

Late last week, Richie's reps confirmed that the "Simple Life" star entered a treatment facility to determine why she hasn't gained weight. Richie has looked shockingly thin over the last few months.

Richie's rep tells TMZ her client was at Hyde for approximately 20 minutes but denies that she collapsed.

61. It's sad to see how awful people react to a girl going out and having a good time. Remember college and high school people? I'm sure you've all been there. Stop being so damn judgemental.

63. ALERT. TMZ ALERT. ALERT. TMZ ALERT. ALERT. TMZ ALERT. ALERT.

This is an Official TMZ Milk Carton Alert:

This alert comes from Niky Hilton Clone Rehabilitation and Substance Abuse Center. Niclone did not check in for her daily methodone shot and Mick D' s Hamburger and puke bucket as scheduled this past weekend. Authorities are concerned a gust of wind may have blown this D-List debutant off the hospital grounds and caused her to land in the nearest nightclub for underage D-Lister clones. Niclone is described as being the twin sister of He-Man's archnemesis Skeletor. If seen in approach with caution. Niclone is known to be affiliated with the Firecrotch Gang, a documented group of 15-minutes of fame has-been clones. They are assumed to be dangerous due to the the ability to try and stay in the limelight of faded fame and the noriety of doing nothing and sucking the oxygen out of the air of those around them.

Local club authorities have been notified of the dispappearance and have been told to contact the proper authorities who include counselors from Dumb Blonde Middle School, Otto the Short Yellow Bus Driver, and any representative from the Niky Hilton Clone Rehabilitation and Substance Abuse Center.

Any free thinker sighting this rougue clone can call 800-555-DBMS, there will not be a reward available, since all free thinkers will turn her in for free in order to clear the blogs of this gossip menace.

64. It is definately heroin... even though she is rich and probably doesn`t have to be dope sick much, it yakes a toll on you and leads to the eating disorder! She looks sick, her face is sunk in and her color is off. Heroin is a hard drug to get off of. Hey she can always get on Methadone. Either way she needs help. I feel sorry for her...goes to show you that money can`t buy happiness.

66. Oh, my poor babies. These children are sad..sad...sad. This wil not stop with our young until we accept women in ALL shapes and sizes as beautiful, as intelligent and more than poster baby dolls. It's okay to like who you like, but its not olay to make a certain shape, size or look an ideal. We stop that, then we'll find one of the main keys of loving one another.

67. I hope she gets help too - if she keeps losing weight she's gonna fall through her asshole and hang herself! Wonder if anybody would get a pic of that!

68. It is hard to beat an eating disorder especially when you are in the public eye at all times and your every move is recorded captured on camera,but on the other hand she has an advantage that she has the money to enter a treatment program,also it doesn't help the kind of friends that you have maybe she is back on drugs who knows. what also doesn't help is that her father is in denial along with her,because he was on vh1 saying she doesn't have an eating disorder stress causes her to loose weight rapidly and all the time then sh!& i should be just as then as her because im under stress all the time im a wife and i work full time and i have a million and one things to do so for all of us moms who are in the same boat and have a couple of extra pounds we want to get rid of then we should get the nicole richie stress syndrome. and i hope that nicole does get treatment and really gets better.

69. Is it just me or is Nicole Ritchie aging rather quickly? Good job, Nic! You've just become a case study on eating disorders and drug addiction. 'You see, kids? This is you look like when you're on (fill-in the blank).' As for those pictures you see all over the tabloids? Someone with such a low self-esteem probably enjoys the attention, even if it's negative. If you keep up with this shit, you are going to have a lovely time getting a tube shoved down your throat. Your body is dying, slowly but surely. And let's not forget the stomach pumping when you've od'ed. I'm sure daddy is so proud! No wait, he's probably high too, like some other person said. This isn't only poor parenting, this is the price of fame: the pressure to be thin & the search for unattainable happiness...

70. Hey Nicole, don't feel bad. I once fell down while standing in formation in the military from not eating enough. Let's go out to eat sometime and go see a movie. :)

72. They are both idiots!!

73. She better smarten up before she collapses and dies like Karen Carpenter, or becomes cognitively brain dead like Terri Schiavo.......
Anorexic's and Bulimic's have abnormally low potassium levels,
and it's not uncommon for them to crash, die, or be left a vegetable.
Not that the world would miss Ms Richey or Ms Hilton........ They contribute nothing at all to society.

74. The girl probaly got a disease or something. Because no one is that small from a eating disorder. I still don't know how her or Paris is famous. Famous for sleeping around. That's whats wrong with her.

75. Nicole is on some type of drugs, her eyes are almost always dialated!!
I'm not bashing, I just wanted to tell her rich or not rich, there are better ways to enjoy life. The Meth or whatever your taking is going to catch up with u in the long run, I know. Been there done that**** I've learned from my mistakes and I know the signs of someone in need of help******
Nicloe, you have way toooo much life to waste on this thing sweety***
