Rumors have been circulating around the web for several days that Nicole Richie is pregnant with another child, a rumor the reality TV star has shot down.

In a statement Richie says:

“Contrary to recent speculation, I am not pregnant. She adds, “This irresponsible reporting continues to feed an atmosphere of self-doubt and insecurity. To publicly point out a change in anyone’s body is mean-spirited and cruel. People’s bodies change and change again. This is not newsworthy and is a waste of valuable media space that should be used for more important issues.”

Richie is already the mother to daughter Harlow, 3, and son Sparrow, 1 and a half.

Fresh from a new round of $12.5 million, Buzz Media has landed the rights to the official Nicole Richie blog.

Richie will share exclusive videos, photos, and news about her daily life, House of Harlow 1960 jewelry line, as well as her Richie Madden Children’s Foundation on the new site according to PopCrunch. “I have always wanted my own online destination to share my experiences and I’m grateful to have this opportunity to connect with people in meaningful ways,” says Ritchie.

Along with its stable of popular celebrity news blogs, Buzz Media has also been carving out a niche as a host of official blogs from actual celebrities. The company currently hosts official blogs for two Kardashians, Britney Spears, Kendra Wilkinson and even the serially unemployed Mischa Barton. The irony of course is rich: on one hand, the company publishes salacious rumors about celebrities, and on the other gives those same celebrities a platform to respond. Nice work if you can get it.

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden are expecting a second child.

Harlow Winter Kate Madden, Richie and Madden’s first child was born January 11, 2008.

A source spoke to Star and said that Joel Madden was “overwhelmed” by the plans, but warmed up to it over time: “Nicole simply told Joel that she wants another baby —right away. He was a little overwhelmed at first, but now he’s with her 100 percent. They’re both thrilled about adding to their family.”

It sounds like Nicole and Joel are in baby bliss, except for one small detail– Star says that Nicole’s been planning on baby no. 2 to “double their commitment” after hitting a “rough patch.” Sounds risky, no?

Let’s take all of this with a grain of salt, considering the Tara Reid debacle from which Star recently emerged.
