An insider told the tabloid, “Nicole had been experimenting and had a memory card full of sexy nude photos of her and a lot of friends. They’d be embarrassed if they got out.� Another informant says, “She wouldn’t say if her co-star in them was Adam [Goldstein, her ex-boyfriend] or a new guy.�

Nicole noticed that her camera was missing in the middle of partying at Guy’s. Said a witness, “They were having fun and then suddenly she’s freaking out after she realizes the camera’s gone.� While a second spy reveals, “Immediately, [Nicole’s] demanding the bar staff shut off the karaoke, turn on the lights and get everyone to search for the camera.� Yet another clubgoer said, “It was pretty funny. Here are all these A-listers – and their bags are getting searched. Nicole was in the corner going totally nuts and losing it.�

Unfortunately for Nicole (and whoever else starred in the pictures), the camera was never found. A source close to Richie said, “There’s the niggling worry that if the camera does get into the wrong hands and the photos turn up all over the place, Nicole will be in real trouble.�
