Nicole Richie isn't too pleased that she's not the center of attention in NBC's "Fashion Star", instead, the cameramen are pointing their cameras to Jessica Simpson instead. You can imagine the bitterness, since, in all areas, Nicole is much hotter than Jessica Simpson. A source told the National Enquirer:

"Nicole doesn't see how there's room for both [Jessica and her] on the set," a source tells The Enquirer. "Nicole is relatively demure and collected, while Jessica is so over the top she just sucks the air out of the room. As the show progressed, Nicole saw herself becoming second banana to Jessica, and that's not what she signed on for."

But should Nicole really be bitter? She's not been in a tv show eversince her last flopped reality show.

The two women have had parallel careers in that both were reality stars who went on to launch their own fashion lines. But while Jessica's empire is worth and estimated $1 billion, Nicole's House of Harlow only brings in about $2 million annually. "Nicole's originally believed that by doing the show, she could increase the visibility of her line and maybe score some product endorsements or acting jobs," the source maintains. "But she hasn't gotten the boost she wanted ... She'd rather jump ship now than watch Jessica be Queen Bee next season." (Print Edition - 6/15)

And probably a little jealous she's not worth as much as Jessica Simpson too. Perhaps.
