NICOLE RICHIE IS A D**K AT AWARDS GIG

Talentless debutante offends MTV Australia

THE SKINNY: Nicole Richie is famous for doing nothing except being a party girl, but she can add diva to her CV after last night's MTV AUSTRALIA VIDEO MUSIC AWARDS.

Sources say that Richie was the only presenter who refused to take part in the dress rehearsal, not leaving her dressing room all day, and not even boyfriend Joel Madden, from Good Charlotte, could cajole her outside.

Richie is being paid big bucks in appearances fees by organizers who expected her to do the job properly, but apparently she feels her job is to behave badly in every job, just like in her TV “reality” show THE SIMPLE LIFE. Other bigger names such as Pink and host Fergie took part in the rehearsal without complaint.

It has been reported that her management had diva demands regarding her dressing room -- unlike the petite star, her room had to be large.

Richie's began her trip by upsetting fans when she arrived at Sydney Airport on Saturday, refusing to sign autographs for many of her deluded fans who had waited up to 48 hours for a glimpse of their idol.

Another presenter reported difficult is Kristin Cavalleri, an even more questionable celebrity whose claim to fame is as herself on the TV show LAGUNA BEACH. Sources say she has refused to do any publicity and is also being a princess.
