Hilton Caught Driving With Suspended License

Socialite Paris Hilton is facing a 90-day jail spell after being found in violation of the terms of her probation. The hotel heiress was spotted driving along Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles on Tuesday night without her headlights on, according to police reports. Officers pulled Hilton over in her Bentley convertible and found she was driving with a suspended license - the result of her drink driving arrest last September.

She later pleaded no contest to reckless driving and was placed on probation. Hilton's publicist Elliot Mintz insists he and his client were unaware that her driving license had been suspended. But Nick Velasquez, spokesman for the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office, tells People magazine, "We have sufficient evidence to prove that Hilton had knowledge of the suspension, and yet continued to drive." A hearing has been set for April 17.

Richie Diagnosed with Hypoglycemia

The Simple Life star Nicole Richie has been diagnosed with blood disorder hypoglycemia. The condition means the skinny socialite's blood sugar levels are often too low to provide an adequate amount of energy for her body.

A spokesperson for Richie tells America's People magazine, "In her ongoing effort to focus on her well-being, Nicole has recently been diagnosed with hypoglycemia. (She) is taking steps to manage it." The diagnosis comes less than a month after Richie was hospitalized for dehydration after falling ill while filming the new season of her hit reality show, in which she and pal Paris Hilton have been counseling children at a health camp. A source says, "Four or five times she's felt really faint and almost passed out and then she has to go into her trailer for a good part of the day." Richie has spent the last year battling reports she has an eating disorder and recently confessed she called in a therapist and a nutritionist to help her figure out why she was so thin.

Jeopardizes 'Simple Life'?

Rocker Courtney Love has sparked concern about Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie's plans to work as camp counselors for children in a TV series, after claiming drugs were readily available at Hilton's recent birthday party. In a posting on her website, the former Hole singer has spoken out about the "white powder" she discovered in the toilet at Hilton's 24 February party. And now the head of Foundations For Jewish Camping is worried about the pair's stint as camp counselors in the upcoming fifth season of their reality show The Simple Life.

Jerry Silverman tells the New York Daily News, "Counselors are trained, recruited and tested. We take (it) very seriously." The latest season of the show has already made headlines after Richie was taken to hospital on Friday suffering from dehydration on set.

Nicole Richie Hospitalized

Socialite Nicole Richie was briefly hospitalized for dehydration on Friday after falling ill while filming the new season of her reality show The Simple Life. The 25-year-old was examined by a doctor on the set of the show and she was then taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.

According to E! Online, she was given intravenous fluids for 15 minutes and then released. After the incident, her representative said, "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." Richie announced in October she was seeking treatment to help her gain weight. The upcoming season of The Simple Life features Richie and best friend Paris Hilton working as camp counselors.
