5. Wow! Vicodin, pot and booze. Amazing she could drive at all.

What's with so many 'celebrities' being so out of control? Too much money, not enough brains?

6. Okay so it took them over 2 months to decide what to charge her with? If that was any one of us, it would have been immediate. God, I hate these privileged assholes.

7. I'm glad that she was charged. Enough of this "I'm a celebrity, I should get special treatment". It's time for her to actually be accountable for something. Maybe this will force her to grow up; you can't hang out with Herpes Hilton all your life, honey...

8. You know she will be let off the hook...c'mon you know she will probably have to pay a fine and that's it....and maybe do some community service...they need to lock her away I don't care where. I am so fricking sick of these friggin people

9. TMZ, check out where she was the night of the Grammy's. Daddy said (when interviewed on the red carpet and was asked about her) "Well, she was supposed to be my date, but she's doing a photo shoot."
That so?

Poor Lionel appeared a bit uncomfortable when asked the question.

10. "Wrong-Way" Richie. I wonder what Brandy Norwood and Lane Garrison would do to her in a prison cell one night after lights-out???????

11. I agree. She probalby will be left off the hook because they really took awhile to come to the conclusion she should be charged. What could work against her is her past history with the law but I doubrt she'll suffer in any real way.

I don't care what people say about how "happy and stable" she has become due to her new fling. This girl has some SERIOUS unresolved issues. She won't truly be on the right path until she owns up to a few things.

13. You know what else I noticed???? If you look at all her pictures, she always has the same pose...like looking to the side a bit...but never looking straight to the camera...here she does the same except her head is pointing down...mayby she thinks she on a constant photo shoot...they's why she was driving down the wrong side of the road...she was high as a kyte looking at herself on the rearview mirror...she's so full of herself and full of shit

14. Doesn't a third DUI become a felony in California? I think that's a mandatory prison, not jail, sentence. She'd better hire a driver 'cause she'll be doin' hard time in prison if she keeps this up.

15. You can see where Nicoles life is going. It's sad. It doesn't look like it's going to get any better before it gets too late. Her personality puts her in harms way. She seems to have the personality of a person who thinks they know better than others who have lived much much longer and do know better. That says to me there's been no sane, stable, non -addictive, mentally healthy adult in her life to bond with while growing up. I'd say she has a lot of insecurity from her upbringing covered with arrogance about her. That's her conditioning. That insecurity "is" what she believes she is. Your only as strong as your weakest link. She can't see out of her own box. I feel so bad for her. I went through torrential mental tortures from childhood to adult. As a young adult being all screwed up because I came from such dysfunction. Money but dysfunction. I had to travel down some very dark roads to get where I am. I am so glad I made it. I hope Nicole does too! The Universe is such a magnificently expansive place with so many life changing wonders to discover and yet they keep their minds busy amongst so little. I'm sending out positive thoughts for Nicole & all others who may need help finding their peace. The war should not be between us humans but we should be exploring together the Universe. That's where most of our major answers are. Everyone of us is a part of the Universe. We are all a piece of the puzzle. Without one of us, the puzzle cannot be completed. Every human has his place. It's a huge struggle that will go on for thousands or millions of more lives, I beleive. It's greed that keeps most people in their day to day prisons. The people with money suppressing the ones who don't. Programming them through television, other media outlets, politics. Money money money. It should be spent on getting food, education and supplying a nurturing environment for every one of our brothers and sisters on the planet. Everyone of us needs it. It's quite obvious that this society will not last. Your only as strong as your weakest link. I suppose that's why so many young teens and adults do drugs. To escape the nastiness of the world even if it's for those fleeting hours while they are high. What they don't realize is that they are destroying their body & brain cells when they do that over and over. The answers they seek they do not find because they seek for answers in this screwed up society. Religion certainly turned out to be a huge farce. Another man made pony show to get others money, labor and devotion through fear & deception. You got to look at the big picture! If you want change then become a politician, a leader but never forget. You must become one with the Universe. You need to physically, emotionally and mentally connect with what we as humans traveling through space on a planet are. That's reality and it's now!! I could go on and on but I won't. There's no one reading this anyway.
