There’s Nicole Richie walking around in purple the other day…

Apparently she was hospitalized over the weekend for dehydration! She was filming some scenes for “The Simple Life” when she suddeny felt really faint… she was taken to the hospital where they treated her and then sent her home to rest. She is now doing fine.

A rep for Nicole says…

“We are proud of the weight that Nicole is gaining and her focus on her health,” a statement said.
