Nicole Richie -- Big Stomach, Big House

151. "12. Got four days....means out in 1 day - 1 day for over crowding = 1 hour."

nope...she's not required to serve her time in the overcrowded L.A. County system..she serves it in a city jail so will do all the time.

154. at least some people on here get that she entered into a pea bargain. It has nothing to do with being famous. It is something that goes on everyday in the court system. You hear all these people bitching, but how many of you have screwed up and done something stupid. The girl is owning up to what she did, and i would think the fact of knowing that you have a guaranteed murder charge if she goes out there again, and does kill someone, i think will weigh heavy on her mind. I wish her good luck.

155. I think both of them looked very nice and dressed with respect for the court
Her new man seems to have a calming effect on her, a baby too should give Nicole the added incentive to remain drug free.
Addicts are unpredictable but I have more hope for her then the others in the mix.

158. #156: Plea bargain or not, this is not in line what people in general get for a second DUI. All people that I ever met in CA who had a second DUI without an accident and blew below .15 got about 90 days in jail, 100 days of Sherrif's work program and a fine of about $5.000, even while using a specialized lawyer.

159. #157: This is her second DUI within ten years. A pregnancy is no excuse. Good behavior since the first DUI is no excuse.

A second DUI is a second DUI, and there are strict laws on how to handle a second DUI. 90 days in jail, dozens of days in charity work or the Sheriff's work program plus a multi-thousand dollar fine.

Nicole Richie got off way to easy.

By the way: please stop yelling.

160. Oh, I forget to add: For your second DUI in CA you also have to absolve 18 months of DUI school. Plus an 18 months suspension of your drivers license after your court date. Plus three to five years of probation after re-approval of your license.

Nicole got off way, way, way too easy.

161. For all of you people outraged that Paris received a harsher punishment, get over it, she violated probation and also didn't take responsibility for her actions. And three years probation (in Nicole's case) is NOT getting off easy. You aren't in jail, yes, but one violation and you're gonna pay for it. I hope Nicole can make a turn around, and I still don't believe she's pregnant, but whatever...

163. She will probably do all of an hour after they consider overcrowding. Because of who she is she will only get a slap on the wrist! Anybody else would have gotten a much stiffer sentence! There is no justice here! This is so unfair! The justice system totally sucks!

164. All the extremely important events going on in the world and this is what we are suppose to get excited about?! Stop letting the media/papparrazzi suffocate your instincts for survival with all of this gossip trash that means nothing but money for the industrial masses that create this superficial site out of superficial events that do nothing but exploit the abilities and beauty of the human mind. Look for the sites that offer solutions for dying world covered with sickness,war and desperation. We as a people are brilliant and exceptional at problem solving...join the human race for a better,safer and cleaner tomarrow before its to late...time is precious,you are precious, life is too precious to waste on this trash talk and trashy people. Peace.
