The New York Post's Page Six gossip columnist, Cindy Adams, claims to have the inside scoop on a pregnant celebrity caught puffing away on a cancer stick.
Who's the celeb?
The story:
Oct. 29, 2007 - 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.
Hmm... if this is true, then boo on Nicole. But it's a highly suspicious story, not least because, as TMZ is reporting, Nicole has apparently been out of the country for some weeks, and only just returned to LA a few days ago.
Still, gossip is gossip. I don't make it up; I just report it. Do with that what you will.
