Living a Lie

Nicole, 24, says she is obsessed with shopping to look like a celebrity. From Manolo Blahniks to Oscar® gown knock-offs, Nicole's closet is overflowing with pricey designer fashions she bought to look like her favorite stars. After reading that one supermodel owned a pair of Yorkies, Nicole even bought two puppies of her own. "I think for most of my life I've been trying to look like someone who is happy and who had it all," Nicole says. "By dressing like a celebrity, you can definitely portray that image."

Oprah says Nicole isn't alone. "A lot of women like Nicole are getting sucked into this illusion of the celebrity lifestyle," Oprah says. "But I'm telling you, nothing is what it seems to be."
