Nicole Richie Takes Her Cues From Kate Moss

The shorts.

The sunglasses.

The rough-looking boy toy.

The eating disorders and drug addictions.

Yes, it seems our hero Nicole Richie has a brand new lifestyle and fashion influence these days in legendary supermodel Kate Moss.

The ex-girlfriend of Brody Jenner and the man known only as DJ AM was spotted cruising the streets of Beverly Hills with a new mystery man.

This man, God help him, bears a very close resemblance to rocker Pete Doherty, Moss' drug addict fiancee / boyfriend / dry-humping partner. See below.

Maybe Nicole (right) is hoping the mimicry will land her on the same steller career path as her hero. Moss is living proof that food is not a necessary step on the road to fame.

Speaking of PeteMoss, rumors are flying that Kate has given Pete an ultimatum to quit his band Babyshambles. We'll have more on that as it develops, and after we're done puking up our lunch.
