The adopted daughter of Lionel Ritchie has made her own name since appearing on The Simple Life with Paris Hilton. As the show got bigger, her waist got smaller and was soon sliding through cracks in doors with pal Paris. Her weight loss has given her huge press attention and sparked fears that she suffers from an eating disorder- a claim she violently denies. Nicole is married to Joel Madden from Good Charlotte fame. The couple have had two children together, a girl called Harlow and a boy called Sparrow. You can be sure she has shed the post pregnancy pounds.
