SUPER skinny NICOLE RICHIE is dabbling in witchcraft to help rid her of her bad luck. The socialite reportedly hired a shaman (someone who mediates between the natural and supernatural worlds) to stop her troubles spiralling out of control.

Nic has so far been arrested while driving under the influence, separated from fiance ADAM ‘DJ AM’ GOLDSTEIN, suffered from a hotly-debated eating disorder and seen her cat plunge 10 floors from the balcony of her apartment - and that’s just 2006!

The troubled star thinks someone in her social circle has “hexed” her and she’s determined to break the spell.

Nicole had a witch doctor perform a $1,000 (£500) spiritual cleansing of her West Hollywood apartment, according to Life & Style magazine.

A source - who claimed a shaman chanted, danced and burned sage in every room of her home for two hours - said: “She’s very superstitious and believes in this stuff. It’s a very personal thing for Nicole.

“Nicole believes in curses but would never put one on anyone, not even her worst enemy.”
