Nicole in Nylon

Nicole Richie spoke to Nylon mag about her celebrity, past drug use and whether she's a role model (though she didn't address rumors she is pregnant with boyfriend Joel Madden's child). A few highlights:

On her celebrity status: "I don't have a clue why I'm famous. I didn't make myself famous... You're doing it. I think people just want to say, 'Oh, she doesn't have a job she doesn't do anything.' They get off on that. But I do have a job, like everyone else."

Oh her past drug use: "When I pictured heroin, I pictured some crazy crackhead with no shoes under a bridge. You never think that is going to be you. And it never was me. I was never under a bridge, and I always had shoes."

On being a role model: "I don't walk around pretending that I'm perfect, so I don't think anyone should hold me to that. The dangerous thing is that there are 16, 17, 18 year olds that people consider to be role models. I'm so happy I wasn't famous back then. You'd think I was the f***ing devil."

Wills and Kate - back on?

Just two months after announcing their split, Prince William and Kate Middleton have been secretly dating. "It's true that they have been seeing each other," says a source. And a friend adds, "They [never] loathed each other. It just wasn't working at the time." British press reported that the pair were spotted talking and kissing at a June 9 bash in the prince's army barracks. Palace reps will not comment on the official status of the couple, but a source says, "The spark is still there." Both are expected to attend the July 1 Concert for Diana.

Paris gave interview the day she was released

I know we're all insanely sick of Paris Hilton, but it's a pretty slow news day so far... The recently-freed jailbird spoke to People mag yesterday at her grandfather's Bel Air mansion just hours after her release. "Thank God I'm free!" she said. "Just being able to hug my mom felt so great, and I really needed it cause I haven't had a hug in a long time." The heiress gave a candid interview about her stay in prison:

Of her first sleepless nights in jail: "I was basically in the fetal position, basically in hysterics."

Of fellow inmates: "All of the inmates were very supportive. There were girls next to me. We could talk through the vents and they were just really sweet."

On her medical condition: "The doctors were observing me while I was there. They explained to Sheriff Baca that they thought I was having severe anxiety, panic attacks, claustrophobia."

On people who doubt she will change after her experience: "They're wrong and they don't know me. I'm a compassionate person. I have a big heart. I'm sincere, and they'll see."
