Celebrity Justice
Nicole Richie in Deep S...

The Commissioner in the Nicole Richie DUI case did not grant the continuance Nicole Richie wanted. Period.

As TMZ first reported, Richie's lawyer asked for a continuance until August 5th, because her expert witness, Dr. Terence McGee, was not available to testify then. Commissioner Steven Lubell was visibly upset and ordered both Nicole's lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, and the prosecutor into chambers. When the Commissioner came out, he said he would not rule on the continuance and ordered all parties into court tomorrow morning at 8:30 AM -- that's when the trial is scheduled to begin.

Seems like Nicole is in a pickle. She flew to Calgary last night with baby daddy Joel Madden, who is performing a gig in the Great White North. Will Nicole bail on the concert and come back to face the Commish?

48. #12, are you crazy. what do you mean she does'nt deserve this while pregnant. SHE DID THIS TO HERSELF. Not everything happens at a convenient time. She needs to think about what she is doing. Now she will pay the consequences for it. (hopefully)

49. Whatta freakin' moron! I'm sooo sick & tired of these "celebs" thinking that laws do not apply to them. She's had ample time to get her $#i+ together! I'm glad the judge told her basically HELL NO!

Also this crap about maybe being pregnant. I'm sorry that's just BS! She KNEW that she had court dates & other legal stuff coming up. I doubt if she even is pregnant! If her own father doesn't know for sure that sounds really fishy! If she is pregnant, I hope they test the baby for drug/alcohol dependancy!

I think it's time to boycott dumba$$ sleezes like Nicole, Paris & Britney. They are nothing but mental cases who will whore themselves out for their name/pic in tabloids or entertainment shows. ICK!! ICK!! ICK!!

50. Good. Enough is enough. Enough high paid lawyers tricks & games & posturing, enough of the "I need a continuance because I have other plans" BS, enough of this arrogant, stuck up, pampered poodle's crap. Force her ass into court, and make her face what she's done.

Poor little dumbass nicole; she's knocked up with a moron for the daddy, she can't buy her way out of her DUI charge, and the judge is going to make her act like a normal human being by forcing her to stand trial on time. You better savor your freedom right now, honey; your ass is going to the pokey. And, since this is your second DUI, expect to spend an extended period of time in stir. Hope you enjoy the accomodations of the grey bar hotel...

54. Jay Leno said something-like this one night to Dr Phil, I think it was. He mentioned all the perks and extra's that the stars/celebreties get just on their status and that those are the good times. BUT when times get tough it is also extra hard on them too. All which comes with the territory. Don't be a paparazzi whore then try to run from them when you're in trouble? The last line is mine.

57. As compared to PH, Nicole Richie appears to be the more despicable brat of the two--at least PH has the Hilton Family name behind her so what does Nicole Richie have going in her favor as she isn't even attractive. Nobody would even know who she was without the fact that she partied with PH!

After not taking the law seriously with the joking appearances on talk shows several weeks ago, she needs to be given a very stiff sentence with driving the wrong way on a Los Angeles freeway under the influence of whatever (who knows what she carries in those multi-thousand dollar handbags! Her body is wasted away due to drugs....

58. This BEYOTCH needs to go to jail, go directly to jail and not collect $200 for passing GO. I also hope her little breeding "plan" to stay out of the pokey backfires too! She doesn't have the class Paris does and that's not really saying a lot :)

59. Who cares about the baby! If she wasn't afraid of going to jail she would of aborted it already. They already got one court extention, then they tried to pull a fast one to get another, so she could crawl into court all pregers to get sympathy. Because she's half black I bet anything, she'll get special treatment, unlike Paris. And don't be surprise if Al nword Sharten doesn't show up with his fat ugle racist ass spouting racism! Who wants to bet she will "unfortunately" mysteriously "loose" the baby, at some point.

Unlike Paris this skank actual "did" break the law. Who drives the wrong-way on major freeway jacked-up on drugs. Give me a break! This howord nword skank needs to go to jail!

60. Can somebody knows if Nicole Richie is African American? I know she is adopted and her real parents were Mr. Richies's friends, but we don't know who they are, their names, etc..A big mistery!...I remember Nicole and she isued to be a woman of color, kind of brown, but after a while she is whiter tthan Paris Hilton.

The reason I ask is that I may help Nicole. If she is black let's call Rev Al Sharpton, he will raise the race card and Nicole will not be ONE day in jail. If she is white, she's screw!

If anybody knows, please let me know. Thanks.
