Nicole Richie has apparently been hiding, but we didn't expect you to know that – in fact, if you do routinely ponder the whereabouts of Nicole Richie on a day-to-day basis you should probably just sit quietly while we call you an ambulance.
However, Nicole Richie's hiding is about to come spectacularly to an end. Not only is Nicole Richie due to take part in some kind of televised 'tell-all' interview with Diane Sawyer next week, but it's also been reported that she's planning to secretly turn up to court today to cut a plea bargain that'll see her going to jail for driving backwards up a motorway on drugs. All this Nicole Richie news coming so quickly together has left us slightly dazed; we don't know what we're looking forward to most any more – Nicole Richie being on television or Nicole Richie going to jail.
Oh, who are we kidding? It's jail, obviously.
Nicole Richie has a CV that puts most people's to shame, assuming that they're put to shame by phrases like 'quite skinny,' 'megastar Dad' and 'awful fashion sense'. But the days of Nicole Richie's unblemished resume look set to end today, since there's a big chance she'll have to add the word 'convict' to the list by tonight.
Back last year Nicole Richie was arrested for DUI after she was found driving into oncoming traffic on a motorway, hopped up to her wazoo on pot and Vicodin. Nicole Richie already faced jail for the charge thanks to her being arrested for a similar charge four years ago, but that didn't stop her from trying to wriggle off the hook in any way she could. First Nicole Richie pleaded not guilty, and then she succeeded in getting the trial delayed and delayed again. Nicole even let some bloke knock her up to try and stop the judge from sending her to jail – but now it looks as if Nicole Richie has come to her senses at last. The New York Post reports:
"Simple Life" star Nicole Richie is expected to show up in court today – and possibly cop a DUI plea bargain that could send her to jail, sources said yesterday. Richie is scheduled to go to trial Aug. 16 in Glendale, Calif., and face a possible second DUI conviction which would bring mandatory time behind bars. But defense lawyers and Los Angeles County prosecutors have told a judge that Richie wants to appear today, a court spokesman said.
So by the end of today we might find out if Nicole Richie gets to go to jail to watch women shit themselves like Paris Hilton, and for how long. But none of that is important because we don't know how Nicole Richie feels, do we? So, luckily for us, Nicole Richie is due to give some kind of tell-all interview about her emotions and feelings and whatever to Diane Sawyer next week. According to Entertainment Tonight:
Nicole Richie will break her summer-long silence in an interview with Diane Sawyer on August 2. After weeks of speculation over her upcoming DUI trial and rumored pregnancy, "The Simple Life" star will speak with the veteran newscaster during an exclusive three-part interview to air on "Good Morning America" and "20/20" on August 2 and 3.
A three-part interview is quite a coup for Nicole Richie, especially since her Simple Life co-star Paris Hilton just got a crappy interview with Larry King out of her trouble with the law. Three whole parts to share her thoughts in. That's, like, one sixth of a thought per part.

I didn’t think that she could get a decent defense against driving into highway traffic on drugs. No lawyer is that good, and if they were Spector would have hired them
