Nicole Richie Has Hypoglycemia

After passing out on the set of The Simple Life twice this month, Nicole Richie's rep had to come up with some excuse. Here it is.

Extra reports that Bones' rep revealed

she suffers from hypoglycemia, which occurs when your blood sugar levels drop too low to provide enough energy for your body's activities.

As Richie gears up for the fifth season of “The Simple Life,” where she and Paris Hilton will be counselors at a health camp, it’s been her own health taking the center stage.

“Four or five times she’s felt really faint and almost passed out,” an inside source told People.

“In her ongoing effort to focus on her well-being, Nicole has recently been diagnosed with hypoglycemia,” says her rep. “[She] is taking steps to manage it.”

Hypoglycemia has nothing to do with the fact that Nicole only eats water and that's why she's passing out. No excuse, but it does kinda sound like a good one.
