Nicole Richie to Break Her Silence
Pregnant and soon-to-be on trial Nicole Richie has spent her summer so far on media blackout.
Next week, however, the Simple Life star will finally come out of hiding for an interview with Diane Sawyer. In three segments set to air August 2nd on Good Morning America and August 3rd on Good Morning America and 20/20, Sawyer will finally have the opportunity to ask Richie on our behalf, "What is going on with you?!"
The interview will mark something of a mini-comeback for the usually media-saturated Richie. On tour recently with boyfriend Joel Madden's band, Good Charlotte, she has kept a low-profile, eating at less-than-glamorous locations like a Chili's in upstate New York, and slouching in her car outside suburban malls where her man was performing to avoid being seen.
Some topics that we hope Sawyer will cover? Richie's August 16 court date for her December 2006 DUI arrest, where, as a repeat offender, she could face 90 days to one year in jail. And of course, that growing baby bump of hers remains uncommented on by Richie or Madden. Could it be time to announce the happy news?
Previous celebs who have memorably opened up to Sawyer include the then married Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley, Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, Tom Cruise and The Dixie Chicks.
Here's hoping Richie can provide Sawyer with a line as indelible as Houston's "crack is wack."
