Life isn’t always simple when you have a nipple ring. Nicole Richie, Paris Hilton’s sassy cohort on “The Simple Life,” recently had to bare her breasts to airport security staff while boarding a New York-bound flight in Reno, Nevada, after her metal-studded mammary set off an alarm. As Richie recounted the embarrassing incident on ananova.com: “I said, ‘I’m pierced,’ and that usually is the end of it. And [the security woman] said, ‘Well, what are you gonna do about it?’ I said, ‘Well, you can either scan it or … I don’t know what to tell you.’ She said, ‘Well, visually, I can’t say that that is ok. Even if I look at it I can’t say it’s ok. I’m not even allowed to touch it.’ I’m like, ‘What if I say you can touch it? It should be fine.’ She’s like, ‘No, I’m not allowed to do that.’ So they brought in two female officers and took me not to necessarily the most private place in the airport and made me take off my top. Thank God I’m not a shy person, but what if I was shy? You know what, you guys are letting lighters on the plane and stuff like that, but I can’t have a nipple ring? What am I gonna do – poke someone in the eye with it?”
