The World of Nicole (please put all Richie news here)

[kimair]

what does a plea bargain mean? i couldn't find the translation....

and at what time her court starts?? or it won't be because of that plea bargain?..

a plea bargain is an agreement between a criminal defendant and a prosecutor in which the defendant admits having committed a crime. In return, the prosecutor asks the judge to impose a less severe sentence than had the defendant been convicted at a trial. The judge is not bound by the terms of a plea bargain. A plea bargain ensures that a guilty defendant is punished.

if she agrees to a plea bargain, she'll appear in court to say she agrees with the terms of the agreement and that's it...

she will be smart if she agrees to the above!

From perezhilton.com

Such a lucky girl!
Nicole Richie’s DUI court case has been pushed back for the second time!
A continuance was granted to the Simple Life star on Wednesday because a(n) **** expert she has hired in her defense is not available to testify now.
“His testimony will be critical to Miss Richie’s case and there is no other expert retained by the defense who can testify in this regard,” Richie’s lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, wrote in her motion.
The start of her DUI case is now August 16th and Nicole will be required to be in court then.

So she didn't cop a plea...I imagine it's because it contained some amount of jail time...

good luck fighting it after you go and admit you're on certain substances to the police! LOL

just turned on larry king live and they had person from tmz who said h yes,she is pregnant
and talking bout her trial.but he said that she's pregnant like he was 100% sure and it was news from yesterday,d it wasnt one of those annoyig lil reporters,seemed like the owner of the company

 

[PursePrincess]

I'm stunned.....but despite it's being true or not.......I just cant swallow the idea of nicole richie being pregnant.....
and if she is,POOR BABY....Nicole Richie as the mother,I mean If the father has been DJ AM,It would've been fine because he seems like a more sensible guy compared to Joel Madden no???

 

[farren fashion]

i'm wishing dj am was the father too. they seemed to work so marvelously together. joel madden doesn't seem to great. but, hey -- i'm not the one having either of their baby. haha.

 

[MaxHavoc]

Is this confirmed??? If so I wish her and her baby the best. I don't believe she is a dumb girl so maybe this will encourage her to grow up a bit. I have seen quite a few women become remarkable mothers after a life of self destruction.

 

[seanutbutter]

^ I don't believe it's been confirmed yet, unfortunately.

 

[ShoeGal4Eva]

jay leno and conan ob'rian both said it like it was actualy news,well,as u heard,nic richie is pregnant
can u imagine if in two weeks she says:I"M NOT or something of that kind,thatd b so stupid.cause this whole thing already is out of proportion,nd if it turns out to be a rumor than she's a idiot who'ds desperate for attention

 

[wings]

nothing new?

 

[farren fashion]

i guess not.

 

[xmodel citizen]

She's been lying low with Joel as he tours. She hasn't been photographed I guess.

 

[vouloirrusse]

a lot of people dont know anything about nicole richie
...
They got clean together
That was weeks before the simple life
unless you know nicole personally all this mumbo jumbo about her being an unfit mother is really stupid
the nicole you've seen is 5% of her. Its a character
I doubt she's anything like what you think

 

[Brittnw]

I guess it's pretty obvious now that she IS. I mean she's REAALLY going out of her way to be photographed. But who knows..watch in a couple of weeks we'll see a normal picture of her and she'll deny pregnancy rumors.

 

[Brittnw]

**to not be photographed ^

I feel the same way. I wouldn't say she'd be an unfit mother because I don't know her. I wouldn't want someone saying the same thing of me so I would definetely not throw something out like that about someone else.

 

[Glittery_Bug]

This is hardly 'confirmation', but the Guardian is carrying the story too, and it's a respected broadsheet:

http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/lostinshowbiz/archives/2007/07/proof_that_god_has_a_dark_dark.html

Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a daddy." So spake Keanu Reeves (or paraphrased words to that respect) in his seminal (oh shut up) speech about the joys of masturbation in the epically awful Parenthood. And now here comes an extension of that great theory: anyone can be a mother but it takes someone special to be a Mommy and the special person who is combining both of those roles is... Nicole Richie! Yes! Against all biological, physical and general karmic laws wee Nicole is sustaining another life inside her.

The proud daddy is a certain Joel Madden, who you may or probably don't know from the American whingefest Good Charlotte. The proud parents have announced the happy event in the traditional manner - on the cover of Us magazine, which is basically an American Heat - and will commemorate their upcoming joy in a similarly holy manner: when Nicole appears in court for a DUI charge which may result in her spending 90 days in prison. One cannot but suspect that the 12 week Richie foetus is starting as he will mean to go on.


Break out the champers, Lionel! And go dance on that ceiling, grandpa!

 

[nanker_phledge]

The problem that I have is that she doesn't look pregnant the slightest to me.

However, her never confirming it is somehow revealing that she probably is, I mean, it would be stupid of her, now that things have gone out of proportions, to deny it...except if it will any consequences on her going to jail.
