Nicole: BFFs Present & Past
Though she's used to being the center of attention, Nicole Richie made sure deejay pal Samantha Ronson wore the birthday-girl crown on her big day. During a shopping trip with Ronson to Beverly Hills store Tracey Ross, a flock of tourists was waiting for the Simple Life star outside. But when she emerged from the boutique, Richie told the wide-eyed group to "gather around and sing 'Happy Birthday' to my friend Samantha," an onlooker tells us. While the 20-plus fans sang, Richie filmed the scene with her digital camera.Later, the pals hit West Hollywood hot spot Hyde Lounge, where Richie, Lindsay Lohan, Harry Morton and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen celebrated with a cookies and Dom Perignon. "She was the queen bee," says an onlooker. "Everyone had a very good time."
Rewind to a couple of nights earlier and the scene wasn't so chummy: Richie and former BFF Paris Hilton both showed up at Hyde – and proceeded to ignore each other. Hilton hung out with sister Nicky while Richie grooved to the deejay on the opposite end of the bar.
