Celebrity socialite Nicole Richie "almost collapsed in grief" when she first learned about the sudden death of her ex-fiance DJ AM. An insider tells Star Magazine, the pregnant reality TV star "said she felt like her heart stopped for a few minutes," forcing her doctor to rush to her house to check on her condition.

"Adam was the one who got her to straighten up," a source chimes in when referring to how the late spinner helped Nicole giving up her addiction to drugs. "She never thought he'd come to this. She's horrified and regrets that she didn't reach out and help him."
