She doesn't even look like herself!!!!! Weird.

(People)Nicole Richie is denying speculation that she underwent gastric bypass surgery and then had the operation reversed. Rumors began spreading this week after the New York Post ran a blind item claiming a "Hollywood starlet" had gastric bypass surgery – and then, after losing too much weight, went in to have the gastric band removed. The Simple Life star's rep says that reports linking Richie to the blind item are "ridiculous." "It is not Nicole," her publicist tells PEOPLE. "There are a ton of 'Hollywood starlets.'" Richie's thinness has been the subject of much debate. She had dropped to around 90 lbs. – making her extremely thin, even at 5'2," PEOPLE reported recently. Last month she decided to undergo diagnostic treatment for her inability to put on weight. Richie's father, the singer Lionel Richie, urged his daughter to seek help. "She's gonna be fine," he told PEOPLE recently. "She's worrying me to death, but she's gonna be okay." As for Richie's reality series, The Simple Life, production on the new season was slated to begin last week but was put on hold while she underwent treatment for her condition. Now, however, the green light is on. "Nicole has informed us she's ready to work, and we're looking at a calendar to see what works best for all," the show's spokesman told New York's Daily News for its Wednesday editions.

Ashley Simpson on Broadway!

Ashlee Simpson makes an appearance in the 10th anniversary performance of Chicago at New York's Ambassador Theatre on Tuesday... performing alongside such Broadway luminaries as Chita Rivera and Bebe Neuwirth! She says, " It's easy for me because I had just done Chicago in London, but it's also nerve-racking because you're with the people who started the show… It's good nerves."

The Beckham's say they don't know what to get Tom and Katie for a wedding gift...

neither does Oprah.

(People)What do you get for two glamorous movie stars like Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes for their wedding? That's the question that David and Victoria Beckham are still trying to answer, a source close to the couple tells PEOPLE. "David and Victoria are still scratching their heads as to what is the perfect present to give them," says the source. "It's pretty damn hard finding the ideal gift for Tom and Katie." After all, the star couple are having a fairytale wedding – which will reportedly take place at the Castle Odescalchi outside Rome amid friends and family, including their daughter, Suri, and Cruise's two children from his marriage to Nicole Kidman, Connor, 11, and Isabella, 13. Another item still up for consideration for Victoria Beckham – what to wear to the black-tie ceremony. The fashionable former Spice Girl is still choosing between six or seven outfits for the nuptials, the source tells PEOPLE. The Beckhams aren't the only ones stumped about what to get the couple who has everything: Oprah Winfrey, who was not invited to the couple's wedding, doesn't know what to get for Cruise and Holmes either. "I'm easier (to shop for) – you can get me a bubble bath I'm okay – but I don't know what to give them," she said.
