As expected, Nicole Richie is denying Cindy Adams report that says Nicole was seen smoking twice while she was pregnant. Nicole’s rep says she was nowhere near New York, but Cindy didn’t give a date as to when Nicole was spotted, and she just returned from Australia with Joel Madden yesterday. Richie’s rep tells Extra that accounts of Richie smoking are "irresponsible and untrue." What is irresponsible is smoking despite the warnings on the label.

Nicole Richie, who is pregnant and just returned from what appears to be an OK! all expense paid trip to Australia, in exchange for an interview, has been caught smoking, not once, but twice. First outside DaSilvano in a black Caddy Escalade, then three days later outside Nobu, reports Cindy Adams. I’m sure this is all just an innocent mistake. It’s true that cigarettes have a warning label that clearly states smoking causes birth defects, but Nicole doesn’t know that because she can’t read, and by the laws of idiot association, neither can her baby’s daddy Joel Madden.
