Nicole Richie arrested

[DrummerDeanna]

^^

Too much money, no real-life responsibilities, no parental discipline (though now she's too old for that)....I can go on and on

Yeah - Vicodin totally knocks me on my ass - so I can't imagine what it'd do to an 85 pound girl who is also smoking weed...all in all a wildly stupid decision on her part..or actually several stupid decisions...

What sucks is she's going to get a mere slap on the wrist (I'm suspecting) for this..wanna start taking bets on when she'll "go into rehab"??

[sparky]

Watch the publicists start spilling all the tragic medical personal dirt ASAP. They will try to get sympathy for the poor sad tragic little rich girl and hope that the police are nice to her and let her off with a warning - after all she is so sick and has had such a hard time. Major move to elicit pity.
She certainly deserves our pity. Not for her miserable little life, but because she has a face like my foot.

Now, I've driven the wrong way on a one way street while sober, so it can happen, especially at night.

Well, I've never been 85 pounds. The other, I still think is not as easy to do as you made it sound. A one way road, maybe, but a freeway? I suppose it could happen. Sort of. to nicole ritchie. A freeway, though?!

Yeah, she's not exactly a hottie as far as I'm concerned either.

If she wants to avoid the felony charge from sticking, she'll have to. It's California law.

She took the breathalyzer and passed.

Hasn't she already BEEN in rehab a few times? I sometimes wonder if there's a limit.

Ah well, it seems that people like this exist simply for the bizarre entertainment of the rest of us. Circus sideshows have been shut down, so the useless and talent-free wealthy are the new freaks. It's not like she even has something cool like a tail, a half grown twin hanging off her side, or an extra leg. I suppose the most remarkable thing about her is that even with all that money they can't make her look good. Ugly celebrities. They're all the rage! I guess there actually is something freakworthy about her after all.

The first and second time a person gets busted the judge can order some type of drug treatment program for them. In looking at the Smoking Gun website again, it appears that she is only being charged with a misdemeanor. I was looking at the felony charge from her heroin bust in 2003. So maybe she did have a prescription for the Vicodin.
I was reading elsewhere that Courtney Love was cleared of all charges today as she successfully underwent drug treatment.
I know Nicole admitted on Oprah that she gained weight after getting out of rehab and that she went back to her "natural" figure later when her body had adjusted to being clean. So I guess what she really meant was she had the surgery? Shame, shame. You can't lie to Oprah!

Well I'm sure you've seen that woman who was "styling" her. Some of the clothes were beautiful, though.

if she's been on heroin then vicodin and pot won't do much to her.

That depends on how much she did of each.

If she had a prescription, then they simnply would have charged her with driving while impaired. I am drawing these conclusions from what I read on The Smoking Gun. Possession of a controlled substance is a felony, I believe. She has a prior bust for possesion of heroin, so I'm guessing that this new charge is a felony.

Possession is a flopper, that is, you can be charged with either a misdemeanor or felony as the DA decides.

ps: Vicodin never worked for me I have a very high pain tolerance, so since the meds dont work I dont take them, and do without. even with multiple broken bones. I think Vicodin is overrated, but then, maybe she's built up a tolerance and needs quite a bit?
