nicolerichiecsmsc.jpg Other online outlets are reporting today that Nicole Richie is at the hospital giving birth to her second child, but X17online first reported on Sunday that Nicole hadn't been seen at home and was preparing to pop!

We hear the starlet is at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, and she hasn't been seen out since DJ AM's memorial, and her family's bodyguard hasn't been spotted either. Calls to her publicist have not been returned, but we're guessing she's already given birth and we should be able to expect a happy announcement a little later today!

Congrats Nicole!
