TMZ is reporting that Nicole Richie was driving and hit from behind by a papparazzi.   Lt. Tony Lee of the Beverly Hills Police Department confirmed to People:

“Ms. Richie was driving with a passenger around 2 p.m. when she was struck by two photographers driving in one vehicle behind her,” ”She complained of pain … Her car sustained moderate damage. No paramedics were called to the scene.” 

“She told officers she was going to seek her own medical treatment, so it’s unknown if she’s headed to a hospital or not.”

The driver that hit her was charged without having a license.

Thank goodness the kids were not in the car.  Two pappers behind her hitting her car sounds, to me, a little too intentional.  Getting a celebrity shot does not need to endanger that person’s health or life.  I really hope Nicole is okay.
