Oh man – I was SO CLOSE to witnessing this in person.

So Nicole Richie fainted while shopping at Kitson on July 15th.

I was there July 14th! Damn it to hell! All I got was a glimpse Brittany Murphy!

She was browsing and BAM! Hit the floor. The staff offered her food, to which she shouted an ambiguous “NO!” but did accept a glass of calorie-free water. 20 minutes later, she was good as new.

Okay – maybe that’s optimistic. How about this: 20 minutes later, she was upright on her matchstick legs and fairly mobile, considering her complete lack of muscle tone.
