Celebrity Justice
Nicole Comes Out of Hiding

Today, one day after her DUI bust, Nicole Richie emerged from new boyfriend Joel Madden's house in Glendale, Calif., and found a throng of paparazzi waiting for her. She then went back into the home to cover herself in a purple blanket. It didn't take a big blanket.


Madden, lead singer of the band Good Charlotte (and ex of Hilary Duff), lives very close to where Richie was busted -- which might explain why she was in the area on the night of her wrong-way freeway ride.

17. Leave her alone!!! So what she got a DUI. How many people out there get them.?
A lot. She didn't hurt anyone or herself. She got caught oooooh the only crime. If she gets a punishment who are we to say.what she deserves. The only reason the media is having a feild day with is because she is famous. WAKE UP!!!!
Famous people make mistakes to. Its only human. And the weight thing back off if she is happy who cares what the rest of the world thinks.

18. Madden probably told her she looks great being anorexic looking, because look how much Hillary lost after she started seriously dating him...

Nicole was not in hiding, she may have not wanted to be swarmed by paprazzi but hiding means being in seclusion for a little while, it's what, one day after the incident... Give Nicole a break, she needs to deal with her issue.

19. I think everyone makes mistakes, and I highly doubt that she did this for attention from the media. Maybe to get attention from her father. But honestly the last thing this girl needs is to be put on magazine covers and all over other media sources. She is probably going through rough times, hince back in the day she was "addicted" to heroin, in which vicodin is an opiate as well. But I also don't know anyone who takes vicodin and is up at 5 in the morning. And too all you people who say feed her, well annorexia isn't treated by "eatting" its a highly addictive way of life that isn't just magicly solved when the person eats.
I hope all is well, and she can change her lifestyle and be more responsible for herself, because, yes, it was very stupid to go driving under the influence of anything other then marijuana.

oh yeah, haters get a life.

20. I don't think she's a bitch, she's young and hopefully has learned her lesson now. Spoiled, yes, sick in the head, probably. She needs help. She needs her license taken away for a year or so, too.

21. Martine: Jamie said 45 lbs more than her 4 year old weighs...

22. Joel seems to go for the stick figures! Duff lost all that weight and does not look to good herself lately! I bet Joel was the one who gave her the vicodin and pot!

24. Nicole Richie is a loser druggie and will probably get of this charge with a slap on the wrist, which might in fact break it. She’s such a twig, where is her family and her supposed friends? 85lbs...that’s just crazy…who would want to date a skeleton?

25. Nothing but another spoiled break the law and get away with it Hollywood not even an actor, brat! I could care less about her weight! It's better if these on their high horses are going to act like this that they hurt themselves! And no one else! It's just not right, especially that you know she will just get away with it. Nothing like riding daddy who got his ass whooped coat tail!

26. Thanks....I was saying that she only weighs 45lbs. more than my son. My son is 40lbs. and he is 4 years old! She needs help....quick! She's gonna kill herself....or worse yet...someone else!

27. #19. This bitch needs to be locked up. It is so easy to forgive some celebrity for something, isn't it? But how easy would it be if she rolled up on you and your family in her drugged out state? You would you be willing to forgive her for killing a member of your family for an accident that could have been easily avoided?

She and her crew have more than enough money to pay a driver to take them where they need to go. She has no excuse except for being a disgusting waste of human life. But as long as people are willing to forgive her and give her a pass she will continue to act like this until she actually hurts someone. And they we'll all be screaming why didn't someone do something about her?

Instead of haters getting a life, why don't you get your head out of her ass and see her for what she is...dangerous to those around her.

29. Okay, First of all, I do not believe even for a minute that she has an eating disorder. Rich people like to cover up the fact that they are really addicted to crystal meth, cocaine and other hard drugs by saying that they have an eating disorder. (Example Fergie from the Black EYE Peas who recently admitted that she battled crystal meth but covered it up by saying that she had an eating disorder.)
They seem to think this sounds better than what we call people that look like that in my neighborhood, CRACKHEADS !
She has battled heroin addiction in the past and I feel very sorry for her because it seems as if she has no one around her that cares enough about her to step in and HELP HER SAVE HER LIFE!
As a recovering alcoholic myself, (11 months, 6 days sober ) I know her pain, but I WAS Fortunate enough to have a family that loved me enough to stage an INTERVENTION .
So maybe she has things that I do not have like money and fame, but at least I have family and people around me that loved me enough to help me.
I guess it's not such a " SIMPLE LIFE " after all.

30. I think she just made a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes. And she MAY get off easy. I have a brother-in-law who has been arrested probably about 15 times for DUI, of course he can never drive again, but all you get are fines and you either have to take classes or do community service. Famous people are just like us regular people, they fight addictions and illiness just like the rest of us. And anoerxia is more a mental illiness than anything and you have you want to get better and when anorexics get a lot of attention for looking the way they do it just fuels the illness more. So I wish Nicole the best!
