Is Nicole Richie Smoking While Pregnant?

The New York Post reported on Monday that Nicole Richie has been spotted smoking in New York several times over the past week, and of course her people vehemently deny the reports and even claim that she is out of the country. NYP gossip columnist Cindy Adams claims pregnant Nicole lit up outside DaSilvano and Nobu, both times with her fiance Joel Madden.

MOMMY-to-be Nicole Richie. 3:30 p.m. Pony tail, black jeans, waistcoat. Exits DaSilvano with one young girl, one middle-age lady. On the sidewalk, after checking who’s at which outdoor tables, she lights up. They jump into a waiting black Caddy Escalade, Nicole into the front seat. Still smoking.Three days later, 7:30 p.m., Nobu. For somebody who doesn’t eat, she sure frequents lots of restaurants. She’s there with the baby in the bun’s father. They leave. Outside she lights up again.
