Nicole Richie has put herself on bed rest. The reality TV star was recently hospitalized with pneumonia and is now taking a well-earned rest to recover fully. Nicole – who gave birth to son Sparrow in September – wrote on her blog: “Right now it’s important for me to stay in bed and recover. Reading all of your messages on Twitter and my website has really brightened my spirits and I am so grateful for the support. I look forward to seeing you all very soon.” Nicole – who also has a 22-month-old daughter, Harlow, with Good Charlotte rocker Joel Madden – will be back working in 2010 when she launches her new clothing line Winter Kate. “I will definitely be back in the spring when Winter Kate launches.” I should hope so! Spring is months away! She should be better in a few weeks at most. Rest up Nicole. I just got over the flu. It KNOCKED ME OUT for about 5 days. Today is the first day I could sit up.
