Nicole Comes Out of Hiding

im not saying anything about joel madden cuz i know nothing for sure but if u noticed hilary duff started looking all sh*tty and skinny as soon as she got with him......so who's to say what he does in his spare time????? hilary sure changed ALOT when they got together ((((she used to be so cute!!!! now soooooo skinny )))) nicole was probably coming from his house that morning...... so u cant just say nicole's a bad influence

Stephanie - how old are you??? I am older than you and have never had a DUI. Get with it kid. Sure, we all go out to clubs, drink and dance, have fun etc. This girl is a spoiled rotten crack head as well as Paris and Lindsey. They get out of jail time because Daddy and Mommy have money. That is complete BS!!! Come on you Hollywood cops. What the hell are they doing?? Letting these drug addicted kids and adults walk away with a slap on the wrist. Look at Rebecca Gayheart (McSteamy's real life wife), she got away with KILLING a kid. Maybe one of these bonehead kids has to die before the LAPD pays attention. I am sure at that point Mommy and Daddy will be up in arms-of course waving their money!!!!!!!!!!!!!

she was hiding for a day?...

I FEEL BAD FOR HER ALL THAT MONEY YET SO LOST, SHE SEEMS LIKE A NICE GIRL. I HOPE SHE GET SOME HELP. SHE IS ONLY 15 MORE THAN MY 7 YEAR OLD.

What's amazing to me (besides the absurd amount of losers out there who are so miserable they're willing to waste their precious time posting trash here; that they should know Mrs. Richie of SIMPLE LIFE fame isn't ever going to bother to read) is how pretty she still looks: intoxicated, embarrassed, arrested, groggy, at 5:00 in the morning, in a bad police mug shot. Even with all the weight she's lost her eyes still sparkle in such a pretty way that you can tell, she's a star.
Her beautiful complexion, her little mouth and even the little smile she managed... She's gorgeous... she's a star!! Even after all the weight loss.

As a young black man that just came home from being stationed overseas the last 3 and a half years in Baumholder Germany (ETS ed 11M A 1/6 Assassin Hooah!) its crazy to hear how much she parties. She looks so fresh faced and innocent its really hard to believe. Even in her mug shot she looks more like an angel than the amazons in the Victoria's Secret ads. Anyway's this chicks living her life and making her money. So why waste energy shaking your fist in the wind?
I'm from the San Francisco Bay Area but Im spending Christmas to New Years in Vegas at the Bellagio where my Pops got us a balcony facing the Strip and the fireworks on New Years eve. What Im getting to is year in and year out people party till they have to lock all the balcony doors on New Years to keep intoxicated people from falling or jumping off! As a kid I spent New Years in Vegas/Reno, New York, New Orleans, Union Square (SF). Ive partied when the Niner's won they're Super Bowl victories. I've been places where the whole cities are out drinking and celebrating. In Idar Oberstein Germany I saw a guy crash his brand new BMW drunk during the Linden Festival. In Ibiza you should see how crazy the British girls get or how we acted during R&R in Bulgaria. All around the world people party, this isnt some new occurrence or something Nicole Richie has just started or invented. Human beings can make mistakes sober. Nicole Richie is not your leader she's no politician or televangelist so why sweat every little move she makes. She's just a girl who grew up in Hollywood, she not a teacher or congressmen or even anytype of civil servant... What type of moron or horrible parent would go around making what Nicole Richie does out to be all important when you have the president who ""didn't inhale"" having affairs with interns, a President we elected twice who had at the very least a DUI (and he's the head of the military chain of command and ""leader of the free world"".)
Getting behind the wheel of car intoxicated is crazy but more soldiers (that I was personally friends with) got chaptered or Article 15's for drunk driving than anything else. Nicole's definitely not the first person guilty of driving under the influence. You have teachers sleeping with the kids and politicians propositioning pages... and your wasting time here? Trying to think of something nasty to say about a girl who parties???

Youd probably be more well served teaching Your kids the Golden Rule, forgiveness/compassion temperance i.e.; or if your really that worried how to "just say no" & defensive driving...

Hey, Nicole! For goodness sake, eat a burger, or two!!

Says the vicodin was for cramps...I say no way is she even having a period! When you're that thin your menses stop.

First, to Martine (#13), I believe if you fully read the comments from Jamie you will see that she didn't say that Nicole weighed 45 pounds - she said Nicole weighs only 45 pounds more than her 4-year old son.

I absolutely agree with most of the comments that what she did was a horrible, dangerous and extremely selfish act; however, I do think that wishing death on her is a bit much. Regardless of her actions that night, she did not hurt or kill anyone. That being said, her actions were nothing short of dispicable, and I sincerely hope she DOES get jail time. She absolutely deserves it, and maybe spending some time in a 5 x 10 cell will give her a little perspective. Obviously she refuses to learn her lesson as this is going to be her second DUI conviction in something like 4 years. WHAT THE HELL IS SHE THINKING??!!!! I am sure she doesn't even realize how lucky she is that she hasn't injured or killed herself and/or someone else. Let's face it - she got caught this time, but I am sure it is kind of like seeing a roach in your kitchen - you may only see one, but for every one you see there's probably a hundred you don't see. Same goes for people who drink and drive. They probably drive many times under the influence before they ever actually get caught.

I sincerely hope that the DA and Judge that get assigned this case don't let her plea this down - she needs her day in court. Nicole needs to go before a strong judge who is not star-struck and is willing to give her the wake-up call she deserves - TIME BEHIND BARS!!!!

i think nicole richie doesn't need to grow up. she was really mature by reconising the mistake she had done by DUI. her attorney has clearly stated that [Nicole] will assume the consequences. maybe she is just playing the little nice and cooperative girl just for making her punishment lighter but i think that this incident has opened nicole's eyes and maybe she will be called next "former trainwreck" as long as she cleans up her image and decides to continue with her career.
