Celebrity Justice
Richie Gets a Break -- For Now

Nicole RichieNicole Richie's fate won't be decided for another month, because a key witness is having fun in the sun.

The commissioner in Richie's DUI case has just granted a continuance, pushing her next court date back to August 16. He also ordered Nicole to appear in court on that date.

Richie's lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, requested the extension for an expert witness who was unavailable for today's trial date due to vacation plans. As TMZ first reported, Dr. Terence McGee will challenge the results of Nicole's drug test.

Richie admitted to taking Vicodin, and smoking pot while driving the wrong way on the 134 freeway late last year.

18. what gets me is everyone is acting like this is something new, that people try to get out of the charges they are facing. i absolutely agree she did something illegal and whatever consequences come with it, shes should suck it up and do it.. but we have a legal system for a reason - it is nothing new to challenge testing, fight charges, etc. any one of us would do it if we did it to. how many of us have challenged parking or speeding tickets?! although this is obviously more serious than a parking ticket, it is still a misdeamenor and she still have every right to fight it.

for anyone saying that she should have an abortion, or miscarry, etc. that is just an aweful thing to say about anyone. there are so many times where events in people's lives change them, and this could actually be a good thing IF she was abusing again. she is still stick thin, but looks healthier now than before (remember when people used to call her a fat slob??)

so anyway, at least try to keep the baby (if one even exists) out of it, it's just horrible to be saying s*&t like that...

21. Why did this commissioner waste my tax dollars today? He should have made Nicole's lawyer just pony up another "expert." Or is McGee the only person in LA County qualified to testify on this issue? Is his vacation perhaps being bankrolled by Lionel? Would an average Jane with a public defender get to take advantage of the system this way?

22. Speaking from experience, courts grant continuances ALL THE TIME. This has nothing to do with her wealth or fame. Ya'll are reading way too much into this. By the same token, being pregnant will have absolutely NO BEARING on whether she is sentenced to jail or not. Just look at all the female defendants in jail and prison who are pregnant.

24. The Commissoner was afraid not to give her a delay! He knew that if he didn't, the Rev. Al Sharpton would be comming to her rescue!!!

25. Nicole Richie got skinny again!Not only that, but she made a
somehow
disturbing comment in an email invitation that she sent to her
friends for a Memorial Day party she and Mischa Barton organised.
Towards the end of the email (which you can read below) she wrote:
"There will be a scale at the front door. No girls over 100 pounds
allowed in. Start starving yourself now."Nicole's publicist defends
the email saying she was just having some fun and didn't mean to
offend anyone."Clearly, she is thumbing her nose at the people in
rehab," Dr. Joyce Brothers told In Touch. "It's a huge form of acting
out, and it shows that the treatment for her eating disorder did not
do any good."The party was at Nicole Richie's friend Masha Gordon's,
and according to In Touch most of the guests drank beer and ate
barbecue, but "Nicole didn't eat anything," a spywitness snitches to
In Touch.Nutritionist Dr. Majid Ali tells In Touch: "I would place
Nicole's weight at about 83 pounds. At 5'1",
She is a sack of bones
PS. Her real name is: Nicole Camille Escovedo Her father was in
lionel richies band. He couldn't afford to take care of her.Lionel
adopted her at age 2

Her birth father's name is: Michael Peter Escovedo, a drummer
If the name sounds familiar - Michael is the famous woman drummer's
Shelia Escovedo's brother.

If shelia would have taken nicole, maybe she wouldn't of ended up so horrible.
Lionel ruined this young woman, by giving her to much too soon.
I wonder what shelia and michael think about Nicole.... looking like a crack addict and behaving badly.
