Nicole Confirms Worst Kept Secret in Hollywood

Nicole Richie finally tells the world: "Yes, I am. We are. I'm almost four months."
Diane Sawyer, Joel Madden and Nicole Richie
In an exclusive sit-down with Diane Sawyer, the celebutante talks for the first time about the impending birth of her child with Good Charlotte singer Joel Madden.

ABC says in the interview, which airs on "Good Morning America" Thursday and Friday and on Hot mommas -- click to launch"20/20" Friday night, Richie "speaks candidly about why this particular constellation of young female stars -- Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears, among others -- have behaved badly so publicly." 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. "And unfortunately I can't, but this is my way of paying my dues and taking responsibility and being an adult."

By the way, TMZ told you this tidbit on July 3rd.

91. Madden looks like Tom Hanks in that pic. (The preggers thing is so old news now, I wonder how deficient it already is? I wish that child the best...)

92. I honestly think Nicole will be a good mother. She is great with kids and this will change her life for the better. Joel seems to be a good guy and I with them the best of luck.

96. yeah if your gaining too much weight thats why you cant lose the pounds you shouldnt be gaining that much weight. Most women eat too much sugar when they are pregnant so they get fat and they dont exercise. maybe 25-30 is normal for you but not for anyone who is active and eats right.

' but this is my way of paying my dues and taking responsibility and being an adult."

Say what? Taking responsibility is more than lip services, lady. It means cleaning up your act so that baby is born normal, and then you get to keep him! Then, being an adult, means placing your kid first and your partying is history! Hello!!!! At 3:00 when baby has an ear infection, you better be getting your butt to the hospital, dear. Think you can deal with that? lol Not if you are off doing time! With luck, maybe the baby won't be born while you are doing hard time... yes. Grow up. You are too old for the crap.

I believe she is only doing 5 days calm down lol That's hardly hard time.
A few days rest in a quite cell wont hurt her or the baby.
She could do far worse but for some reason I dont think she will. I hope this turns her world around. she didn't get a great start in life, But she can give that to her child though.

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

The ideal here would be for the child to have two stable drug free productive happy parents, I think I will wish for that and save the wedding bells for another day in this case. I'm sure her parents feel the same.
The last generation to marry because of sociaty pressure produced hippies!

102. http://usmagazine.com/simple_life_canceled

A source at E! tells Us that overexposure is to blame for the show's cancellation.

The source adds that Richie became increasingly difficult to work with last season.

"Paris carried the show. She was the one willing to do anything," says the source. "Nicole was the diva."

Nicole may be a diva but she is NOT a whore.

Watch your language!

103. Nicole is no better or no worse than the millions of morbidly obese people in the US who just LOVE to throw stones at her!

May God bless her and her baby!
May you stay mentally and physically healthy for this new life!
Love you Nicole,stay strong!

104. Good luck Nicole with your child and with everything esle. I hope things work out for the best.

You people really need to have some class with your harsh and judgemental comments about others. Yes they are stars, but they are also human beings too. Your comments just represent the quality of who you are. I'd like to see how you all stand up if you were in the same situations......i'm sure not as good!.

People who are so quick to call a female whores and sluts extra, obviously should know because all the women in thier family are just that!!!!!!!

........someone humane
