Dec 14 2006Nicole Richie has to go to jail
Turns out Nicole Richie pled no contest to a DUI four years ago and under California law if she's convicted of a DUI from Monday's arrest she must serve a mandatory jail sentence. The law requires five consecutive days in county jail as well a one year license suspension. She'd also have to attend an alcohol education program for a year and a half even though her second DUI wasn't alcohol related.
TMZ has obtained the police documents in the 2002 case. In the arrest report it reveals that Richie told cops all she had eaten that day were french fries. As for what she drank that day -- "1 shot vodka."
She blew a .12. and a .13 in two separate tests. In California, .08 is considered legally intoxicated. Richie was stopped in her Toyota Corolla after a UCLA police officer observed her blowing a red light and driving over a speed bump at more than 50 miles an hour in an area with a 15 mph speed limit. Richie flunked the field sobriety test -- her eyes were watery and bloodshot, and she could not keep her balance.
I go days on vodka and french fries all the time. I call those weekdays. And weekends? Well I call those penguin eaters. Don't ask why, unless you're prepared for a heaping bowl full of awesome.

i call weekdays penguin eaters too! but i usually chase them with gin, not vodka.
nicole, it's going to be tough taking time out of your busy schedule of sleeping and wearing huge sunglasses to spend 4 days in jail. life is pretty rough when you're nicole richie.

I know of a 7'9" Mongolian who could help her limber up for the Femme Fist Fun action she'll be getting.

A special cell for her.........she can slip between the bars of a regular one!
10. MyGosh! - December 14, 2006 9:07 AM
Maybe they could film a new series of the "Simple Life" with her in jail, forced to eat.

She was driving a Toyota Corolla?
15. dreamhypnotique - December 14, 2006 9:18 AM
As awful as this is for Nicole Ritchie, at least she's rich, so in the end she can just hire some loser to drive her around all day in her car and basically be at her beck and call 24/7/(365x1.5). I'd be willing to do it, though it would make me give up my ultra-high-paying gig as a store clerk in the meantime. At least I'd finally be able to tell people what I do for a living and be able to laugh with them.

You know, Kate, wherever you are, now would be a good time to head out to Hell-A and get yourself some pokey-time and maybe you and your hero Nicole could be cell mates!!!

French fries and vodka? No no. I prefer tater tots with my hard liquor. French fries go best with a nice merlot. Now that's classy.
21. jrzkid - December 14, 2006 9:24 AM
mommy please stop being mean to that lady. she made one comment to you, yesterday. you get angry and mean like this all the time. it makes me sad.
why won't you take care of me when i'm sick?
22. rmol100 - December 14, 2006 9:25 AM
ok nice comment:i'll still hit that
23. tuckerkatt - December 14, 2006 9:26 AM
As if she's going to spend any time in jail. Remember, there is the law-for-normal-people and there is the law-for-celebs. The latter even applies to useless "why is this person famous?" people like Nicole.
24. HollywoodSnark - December 14, 2006 9:27 AM
yes...my wish came through - partially - I would have loved to see her get a 5 year sentence instead of 5 days! http://hollywoodsnark.com

If women's prison is anything like men's, they're going to snap her in half.

jrzkid--that "lady" tried to kill baby jesus on his birthday and there almost wasn't such a thing called Christmas!
take care of you when you're sick? sweetie, mommy gave you TWO shots of Stoli's in your OJ this morning--what more do you need? Now run along.
28. Pointandlaugh - December 14, 2006 9:33 AM
"Hmm....I need to gain weight, what should I eat? oooo I will be really bad and have a few french fries! tee hee! (munch munch) .......oh oh......here comes the self-loathing again. I need to make it go away. Vodka...I love you."
29. 323Lurve - December 14, 2006 9:36 AM
but at least the black and white stripes will be representative of her confusion about her own race...

I love the picture that goes with the article. She's shocked and confused and scratching her head. Well done superfish!
Also, drinking/drugs and driving is not cool. I fucking hate celebrities (or in this case, Nicole Richie) who do shit like that. That's all.
32. RichPort - December 14, 2006 9:43 AM

Jrz, the'll need to use chicken wire to keep that pigeon looking bitch in the hole. Of course thatprobably won't be the first time she's been in the 'hole', but still...
33. jrzmommy - December 14, 2006 9:45 AM
31--shhhhh.......Nicole has worshippers here...they may troll you.

38. ponk - December 14, 2006 10:03 AM
i'd hate to get my hopes up that she might actually serve one fucking hour in jail. oh the tears, the tears would fall.
and BarbadoSlim, JRZ is the definition of MILF.
ps. trolls need to get a life.

It's only fitting when nicole goes to jail that the guards play "All Night Long" over the loud speakers.
44. Missallanpoe - December 14, 2006 10:19 AM
YES!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!! *spins hair like in herbal essence commercials* This..is the 3rd best arrest EVER. Martha Stewart comes first though.
45. LoneWolf - December 14, 2006 10:28 AM
I'll be surprised if this Karen Carpenter wannabe does a second of jail time. She was nobody before The Simple Life and other than being a freak show she has no reason for anyone to be interested in her. Maybe they'll cancel TSL and she'll OD. Let's just hope she isn't on a fuckin freeway when it happens.
46. ana-rexia - December 14, 2006 10:31 AM
Shes going to have every hard ass fisting dyke up her whoo-haa. They might as well plan her funeral because she'll never make it
47. ToiletDuck - December 14, 2006 10:32 AM
Hopefully she will get gang-raped by a crazed gang of herpes-infected lesbian bikers...

all i read from this was TOYOTA COROLLA? ah.
49. DancingQueen - December 14, 2006 10:35 AM
The lollipop head is finally going to jail. How fitting. Wow, she'll finally have some street cred. I guess she's just "keeping it real."

56. Robieez - December 14, 2006 11:48 AM
I think what I am most bothered by about this story is the fact that Nicole Richie was driving a corolla, I mean I know she wasn't crazy famous in 2002 but she was still Lionel Richie's daughter....could Dancing on the Ceiling and other timeless classics not buy his baby at least a Camry?
57. LL - December 14, 2006 12:05 PM
She ain't going to jail... she'll get a suspended sentence and do community service. Her pricey attorney will plead it down to something else. That's the thing about the law, you can always work it if you have enough money.
58. DrunkBlogger - December 14, 2006 12:13 PM
#9 you stole my corny joke. Hey-yo!
59. wedgeone - December 14, 2006 1:13 PM
Let's remember folks that she has to be convicted of the 2nd DUI before mandatory jail time is involved. Which means that the district attorney's office must charge her with it, and not let her plea down to a reckless op or something like that. Now who thinks that any lawyer in the DA's office has enough integrity to not accept the envelope full of small bills just before the trial?
#55 - you said exactly what I was going to say. Where did the Fish find that photo of a dumb(founded) Nicole?
A majority don't think that she'll do jail time & their probably right.
60. Spindoc - December 14, 2006 1:36 PM
She better start eating, the ladies in Cell Block H like a little junk in the trunk.
61. Jenna - December 14, 2006 1:41 PM
#56 - I was wondering about that too, but given the way this bitch drives would you trust her with anything nicer? BTW, exactly what the hell was she doing on a college campus?
Although I must say....going from a Corolla to a G-Class in 4 years isn't bad. I guess hanging out with Paris and not eating has worked out well for her after all.
62. cole007 - December 14, 2006 2:13 PM
two words: TOYOTA COROLLA.
I can't stop laughing. It's one step up from that "i see dead people" kid's car with that he flipped on a mailbox or something...
godaamned that's funny as hell.
As an aside, I hope she serves the full 5 days, in an orange jumpsuit which is too big for her of course (they come in kids sizes), and I hope she ends up doing it with a chola named Yolanda... so aptly suggested yesterday by fellow superfish commenter.... sigh. the holidays just got better for me.
63. beefgoddess - December 14, 2006 2:19 PM
What an idiot!! Maybe once in jail the medical staff in there will force her to eat. Either that or commit her.
64. Boogie Monster - December 14, 2006 2:31 PM
LMAO @ # 35 and # 60!
I betcha $10 she wont do jail time OR if she does she'll have her own private cell that she's allowed to 'decorate' before she does the time.
65. HollywoodSnark - March 27, 2007 8:35 AM
please, send her to jail for like 10 years...
