Hey, remember that time Nicole Richie went to jail? For 82 minutes? That was awesome. Now that she’s got a bun in the oven, it looks like she’s mellowed a bit (thank goodness, for the sake of the little Madden/Richie spawn). However, she’s still got some making up to do for her previous wrong-doings.  Just 18 months of anti-drinking driver education to get out of the way.   Wow, that’ll teach her to drink and drive. After all that educatin’, we hope she’ll be a model mama… and maybe she can teach Lindsay a thing or two. Oh, and Brit too. Speaking of the little one… have you seen the pics of Nic in a bikini?  Six...
