Celebrity Justice
Nicole Richie Checks Into Jail

Nicole RichieTalk about a smart move! Nicole Richie snuck into jail today to serve her sentence for DUI.

She was booked at the Lynwood Jail, where Paris did her time, at 3:15 this afternoon. Great move by her lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley. While all the attention was focused on Lindsay, no one was watching Nicole.

Nicole is being processed right now. Her photo hasn't even been taken. A Sheriff's guy says she's still being processed.

Nicole was sentenced to four days in the pokey for driving the wrong way on an L.A. freeway while under the influence. She was given credit for 1 day because she was in the slammer for 6 hours after her arrest.

Because of overcrowding, it's possible -- but not certain -- Nicole will be a free woman when we all wake up tomorrow.

Miss Richie is pregnant with her first child.

4. Well, I have to give her credit for checking in early as opposed to right before midnight. Either one would have counted as a day served! I know it's only a matter of a hours difference but I think that those hours probably seem a lot longer behind bars!

7. Does anyone else notice that Nicole looks similar to Heidi except less attractive? Anyone else stoked about the album from Heidi and Spencer? There is talk it will be released through Dr. Dre's label since Spencer is being hailed as the end all be all of rap. In a interview Spencer said the wicked lyrics came from growing up on the streets on 9 mile road, a stretch of road that seperates Laguna Beach with the slums of Compton. Can't wait to buy concert tickets I bet they rock live!

9. you know what?
out of all the train wrecks in the public eye this summer, Nicole and paris are proving to be the most promising. I really think that this baby thing has saved her. and now after she gets jail out of the way she will be abel to move on with her life. before i use to want to hear about lindsay and brittney and i didnt even want to bother with paris and nicole...but now its totaly role reversal...britney and lindsays carrer's are shot to hell but nicole and paris got another shot.....the other two really need to take a page from the simple life stars notebook.

10. It's only right that this girl is in jail for a bit. She drove the wrong way on a freeway while she was high! Gesh. She's lucky she didn't kill anyone. And, this girl is going to be mother. How sad. Let's hope she'll get a fleet of nannies to take of her child because this trainwreck probably can't even tie her own shoes. I hope she at least feeds the baby, given her complicated issues with food. She's a mess, although really calculated as a media whore, as there's nothing like a pregnancy to sway the public and law enforcement back in her
favor. I don't believe for one minute that she's gotten her act together.

11. I would love to see Nicole get her life back on track. She seems to be in a solid relationship with a baby on the way. I will be extremely disappointed to see her out in the clubs after the baby is born. She appears to have grown up a bit and regrets the mistakes that she has made. Kudos to Nicole for trying to do the right thing. As for Britney, Paris and Lindsay, they need to take a lesson from Nicole and see that ultimately you are the one responsible for your life. Those three could totally turn their lives around with just a little effort and less partying. You don't have to be drunk and puking in public to have a good time. I went through that phase about 10-12 years ago and realized that I didn't like the person I was becoming, so I just stopped hanging out with certain people in certain places and life got better very quickly.

15. Not that I've been asked, but a few words of advice for Nicole:

Be smart about this. Do your time quietly. Get out as soon as you can.

Move on.

Learn from it.
