There you go. Then the next morning you wake up with a concussion from whacking your head on the porcelain bowl whilst vomiting.

Yeah, we can get annoyed by some dumb no-talent celebrity instead of by the fat cats at the top profiting from our blood, sweat, and tears.

you made it sound as if it was mandatory and I know it isnt. Prior to Prop 36, druggies had jail time. Then, when the jails were full of druggies, it was decided that to alleviate the overcrowding, to NOT incarcerate the non-violent offenders, and see if they can be rehabilitated....

Now, you must remember, in sentencing, the JUDGE has vast discretion. You never know just WHAT a judge will do in a particular case

You know, I don't ever remember my grandmother (the Queen of prescription drug addicts) ever vomiting. Not even the time she drank peroxide in an attempt to get a buzz on. She must've had an iron constitution, to say the least. Of course, she did end up having to get her colon removed, so...

so, anyway, here's the latest:

Nicole Richie could be adding stripes to her wardrobe in the very near future.

TMZ has found court documents which reveal that Richie pled no contest four years ago to driving under the influence. Under California law, if Richie is convicted of DUI as a result of Monday's arrest, the judge must impose a jail sentence.

The law requires a mandatory sentence of five consecutive days in county jail as well as a one year license suspension for anyone twice-convicted of DUI. In addition, Richie would be ordered to attend an alcohol education program for a year-and-a-half, even if the second conviction is not alcohol-related.

As TMZ first reported, Richie admitted to CHP officers that she had taken Vicodin and smoked pot before driving the wrong way on a Burbank freeway. A field sobriety test revealed she was not under the influence of alcohol.

Cop: "What have you eaten today?"
Nicole: "French Fries"


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.

Richie was given three years probation for her 2002 DUI conviction and had her license suspended for one year. Six months later, Richie was arrested for possession of heroin and for driving with a suspended license.

so, now we see a pattern. And I dont know if rehab will be an option for her.

Muy interesante!!!

I think there should be harsher penalties for FIRST TIME offenders all around. It seems to me it's always so and so with 893473 prior drunken driving (or driving while impaired in others ways) records who ends up killing the family of four...it pisses me off....

That'd be my guess.

How sad, and how true.
