She should know!

As for her upcoming stint in the slammer, Richie told Sawyer, "I have a responsibility and it's something that I did wrong, and if I could personally apologize to every single person that has lost a loved one from drunk driving I would," she said of her recent guilty plea.

78. Some of you bitter hags need to figure out why you are society's outcasts. I wish Nicole the best, She is not too small to have a child you Neanderthals.
She has taken full responsibility for all of her acts and so far sense learning she is pregnant has lived a quite low key life drug free.
She has stated she does not even know why she is famous!
You negative bitter people sure get empowered when no one can see your life lol.
I wish her the best.

80. have any of you considered that not everyone gains 100 pounds when they are pregnant? Also do any of you realize that you should not gain more than 15-20 pounds when you are pregnant and the ones that do are not eating properly or getting the exercise they should be, therefore they get fat? Have any of you considered the fact that umm she may be EXERCISING and is eating well?

Dont hate on her because shes not living on McDonalds and probably has " The Hired Help" around her taking care of her diet and exercise..... She is going to be a great mom and the kid is going to be fine stop being so negative because you cant have what she does and move on...

82. Okay,
Paris is a walking id 10 t error. That is a technical computer term. Here people, I will put it together for you id10t error. Furthermore, she is without integrity and all of those other traits that make us human.

But...

I am going to throw caution to the wind here and give this one a very small chance before I cast judgement.

Because this one has done some good in the community. She has openly went on TV a number of times and has been honest about her problems (addictions and such) and has tried to put her experience to good use. She has shown honesty. And on a side note, I don't hear about Nicole out on the town showing us her cha cha, etc...

Sure we wonder abou why she is so thin and that is what we read about. So... with that... I am going to hold judgement (as you all should) and just wait to see what happens. The arrival of a child can and has changed many lives.

Let us all pray together people.
Say it with me....
Say it loud and say it proud....


"God, we ask that you please not let Paris become a parent".

84. If you know your Bible, Jesus didn't hang out with the rich and famous. He did however, forgive those who sinned and asked His forgiveness. As a grandmother, I pray for this child of Gods and for the baby, too. I believe we've all done things we are ashamed to talk about in public. I pray you all have made things right with God. Bless you All.

85. 82...Where did you go to school at? Average weight gain for someone of normal size is 25-35. The number goes up for those that are underweight and down for those that are overweight (with doctors superivsion of course). So, with Ms. Richie being underweight..she could probably gain a little more.

86. i can't believe that america cares so much about self destructive, mean, untalented and completely useless nicole richie. it is a shame, when we have so many talented, struggling artists and more interesting contributions of culture, that this is what makes the front page of magazines. she's yucky.

gee...i wonder if the baby will be born wearing blonde hair extensions too?

87. Good for you Nicole congrats! I am sure you will be a good mother. Ignore the haters because you are at least taking responsibility and that says ALOT.

88. Diane Sawyer just confirmed the fact that serious journalism crossed the line to trashy tabloid grounds. As for people bringing children into this world for no reason but to fulfilled some selfish reason is unforgievable. For the child's sake I hope is born healthy, growing up with such parents will be traumatic enough.

89. Pregnant and not married; her parents must be SO proud of her!

90. Idiots, the kid doesn't stand a chance of being born much less living a good life.
