NICOLE VS. JESSICA?

Posted Aug 18 2011 @ 05:05 PM

Spotted out for a fun night on the town on August 11, Nicole Richie hit up the Viper Room in Hollywood in a sparkly all-black look. Starting with a pair of JET by John Eshaya Glazed Jeans, Nicole wore a black sequined blouse with sheer panels and toted the green velvet House of Harlow 1960 Rey Bag. A pair of black buckle boots and gold jewelry completed Nic's ensemble. For a look inspired by Nicole's trendsetting style, try either Sachin + Babi for Ankasa's Gretchen Top in Onyx or Akiko's Lace Poncho in Black paired with Citizens of Humanity's Ava Jean in Poet, and then tote a brightly colored bag like Julie K Handbags' Lorri Lamb in Teal. Would you rock this ensemble for a lively night of live music? While I recently told you that Nicole and Jessica Simpson seemed to be getting on great on the set of their new show "Fashion Star," it seems that happy times are in the past. In fact, the women are allegedly at each others' throats! According to sources, "Producers thought pairing them on screen would mean lots of fireworks to attract viewers, but their personalities don’t mesh at all. Behind the scenes, the set is a war zone. Nicole is always ready to go, but Jess lingers in her dressing room, keeping every­one waiting and asking to do multiple run-throughs." Interesting! The insider continued: "Then there's the weight issue. Nicole has made a few digs about Jessica 'throwing her weight around,' while Jes­sica has joked that someone would have to be on a star­vation diet to wear Nicole’s designs. Now they’re barely talking, which doesn’t bode well for the show’s success – and it isn’t even on the air yet!" DRAMA!
