Could a Baby Keep Richie Out of the Pokey?

Nicole RichieWith pregnancy rumors running every which way, Nicole Richie and borefriend Joel Madden added fuel to the baby blabber fire. TMZ spies saw them purchase a $300 Born Out of Necessity chic leather diaper bag at Bel-Bambini baby boutique on Thursday. But even if she's not pregnant, Richie might want to consider getting knocked up real soon -- it might save her from following in Paris' shackled footsteps.

With her DUI trial set to begin on July 11, what judge in his right mind would send a pregnant waif to the slammer?! Oh the humanity! If she's found guilty, Wrongway Richie will spend a minimum of five days in jail, with the possibility of up to a year behind bars -- and we're not talkin' Hyde!

Anyone know of a good prison daycare?

46. WHAT HAS BEEN KNOCKED-UP GOT TO DO WITH HER NOT BEING ABLE TO GO TO JAIL, EVERYONE KNOWS THAT MOST WOMEN TRY THAT ONE ON, EVERY COUNTRY HAS THOSE TYPE, HOW SAD THAT THE ONLY WAY SHE COULD KEEPFROM GOING TO JAIL IS TO GET HERSELF KNOCKED UP, MAYBE IT WAS THE ONLY WAY SHE CAN GET A MAN IS TO HAVE HIS CHILD, AFTER THE KIDS BORN, IT WILL BE BACK TO THE DRUGS, HAVING A CHILD WONT MAKE YOUR PROBLEMS GO AWAY.

47. Oh my God people - wise up!!! There's no way she's pregnant! She weighs 85 lbs sopping wet. A woman with her health issues is far less likely to conceive, let alone keep the baby to turn. Her body is probably too malnurished to sustain life. The bloated stomach everyone keeps talking about is probably from malnurishment. She's using these rumors for publicity and to try to keep out of the slammer.

48. Wow.. Between 'Farrah-Fallon' and Brink, the pathetic nut jobs are really crawling out of the woodwork! BTW -- if Ms. Retchie had any hope to stay out of jail due to her privileged background, it will be completely dashed now -- all thanks to the publicity her bff Parisite caused from special treatment, LOLOLOLOL!!!!! How the mighty (skanks) have fallen.

55. IF NICOLE RITCHIE WERE TO APPEAR BEFORE JUDGE JUDY, I THINK THIS IS HOW IT WOULD GO:

JJ:
MISS RITCHIE, YOU ARE HERE BECAUSE YOU WERE STOPPED BY THE COPS BECAUSE THERE WERE SEVERAL 9-11 CALLS PLACED BY PEOPLE WHO SAW YOU DRIVING THE WRONG WAY ON THE FREEWAY, IS THAT CORRECT, MISS RITCHIE?

NR: UH, YEAH
JJ: NO, IT'S NOT YEAH, THE ANSWER IS YES, SHOW SOME RESPECT WHEN YOU ARE IN MY COURTROOM! STAND UP STRAIGHT! WIPE THAT SMIRK FROM YOUR FACE!
NR: (ROLLS HER EYES UPWARD) SMILES
JJ: DON'T ROLL YOUR EYES AT ME, YOUNG LADY! (LOOKS AT BAILIFF) HEY, BERT, DID I SAY SOMETHING FUNNY?! DID I ?!
BERT: (BERT SHAKES HIS HEAD) NO, I DID NOT HEAR YOU SAY ANYTHING FUNNY (IRONIC SMILE).
JJ: NO, OF COURSE NOT! MISS RITCHIEEE, LISTEN TO ME! DON'T LOOK DOWN--LOOK AT ME!!! YOU ARE NOT TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY!! YOU COULD HAVE KILLED MANNNN-YYYY PEOPLE THAT NIGHT! NOT ONLY WERE YOU INCAPACITATED BY THE DRUGS YOU WERE TAKING, BUT YOU ARE SO USED TO BEING UNDER THE INFLUENCE, THAT YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD DRIVE JUST FINE WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF NARCOTIC PHARMACEUTICALS!!! IS THAT RIGHT?!
NR: MUMBLES....SOMETHING.........
JJ: I DID NOT UNDERSTAND YOUR ANSWER!! WHEN YOU SPEAK, DO SO IN A MANNER THAT SOUNDS CLEAR AND CONCISE. DO YOU KNOW WHAT CLEAR AND CONCISE MEANS? OR ARE YOU STILL UNDER THE INFLUENCE?! (POUTS FOR EMPHASIS). ARE YOU STILL TAKING DRUGS, MISS RITCHIE?!
NR: I AM ABOUT TO ENTER REHAB, I KNOW I HAVE AN EATING DIS....
JJ: WHAT?! WE ARE TALKING ABOUT YOUR HORRIFIC TRAFFIC INCIDENT!!! DON'T BRING ANYTHING ELSE UP, MISS RITCHIE!!! I AM ALREADY CONFUSED ENOUGH AS IT IS!!!! NOW, DON'T CHANGE THE SUBJECT! NOW, MISS HILTON, ARE YOU STILL USING DRUGS?
NR: I AM NOT PARIS HILTON I AM NICOLE RITCH.....
JJ: DO I HAVE STUPID WRITTEN ON MY FOREHEAD?! DO I???? LOOK, PARIS, DON'T PEE ON MY LEG AND TELL ME IT'S RAINING!!!! NOW, FOR THE UMPTEENTH TIME, ARE YOU STILL USING DRUGS?
NR: YES.
JJ: YESSSS!!! SHE SAID YES!!! WE FINALLY GOT THE ANSWER! THAT WAS LIKE PULLING TEETH! LIKE HAVING TO DEAL WITH A BUNCH OF MONKEYS WHEN THEY ARE ALL FIGHTING FOR JUST ONE BANANA!! (LAUGHTER IN THE AUDIENCE).
NR: YOUR HONOR, I..........
JJ: APPP, PAAAAP, PAAAP, PAAAAAP, PAAAAAH!
JJ: YOU KNOW THAT TAKING DRUGS IS A SERIOUS THING?! YOU HAD ENOUGH VICODIN IN YOUR SYSTEM TO KILL A HORSE!! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!!!!!!!!
(THE SOUNDS OF CRICKETS IS HEARD IN THE ROOM AS IT IS DEADLY SILENT).
NR: WELL, I'M NOT A HORSE.....
JJ: (LEANS INTO BERT, AND SPEAKS SOFTLY LOUD) BERT, LOOK AT HER. WATCH HER. SHE IS DANGEROUS.
BERT: BUT, JUDGE, IF A FLY LANDED ON HER, SHE WOULD DROP DEAD FROM CARRYING THE WEIGHT OF THE FLY!!
JJ: MISS RITCHIE, I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT YOU ARE WITH CHILD.
AND YOU ARE NOT MARRIED! YOU ARE NOT VERY SMART ARE YOU?
IS THE FATHER HERE?
NR: NO HE ISN'T HE IS TOURIN....
JJ; SHE HASN'T DELIVERED THE BABY YET AND HE'S ALREADY ABANDONED BOTH OF THEM!!!!!!!!
JJ: MISS RITCHIE, EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE PREGNANT, YOU MUST STILL SERVE SOME JAIL TIME BECAUSE THE SENTENCE WAS GIVEN TO YOU PRIOR TO YOUR GETTING PREGNANT ON PURPOSE TO GAIN THE COURTS' SYMPATHY!
IN ADDITION, YOU COULD HAVE KILLED COUNTLESS PEOPLE AND YOU SHOULD THANK YOUR LUCKY STARS, MISS RITCHIE, THAT NO ONE WAS KILLED THAT NIGHT. THE VICTIMS' FAMILY WOULD HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH THAT FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES. AND PREGNANT OR NOT, YOU WOULD HAVE GOTTEN THE MAXIMUM PENALTY IN A CASE LIKE YOURS.
SO, YOU ARE GOING TO JAIL, AND MAYBE YOU WILL LEARN SOME GOOD LESSONS IN LIFE. TAKE THE TIME IN JAIL TO TAKE STOCK OF YOUR LIFE. AT THE MOMENT, IT IS NOT A PRETTY SIGHT.
JUDGEMENT FOR THE STATE, JAIL TIME FOR MISS RITCHIE. THAT'S ALL!!!!!!!!!

Posted at 5:16PM on Jul 6th 2007 by LOVE THAT JUDGE JUDY!
