9One last time...she's popular because her adopted dad was famous 25 years ago? Save that money sweetheart!
I wish Nicole Richie the best of luck with her new show!
I think it's wonderful that she has matured into such a strong and competent woman. I think Joel has been an incredible support to her and I am glad she has found happiness
This sounds exciting. I am eager to see it. I've always thought she was funny and had a great sense of humor. Hopefully her show will be the same. Good Luck Nicole!!
I won't be viewing her stupid show. I predict it will bomb anyway.
yay! Can't wait to see it! I love her and love that she became a great mother!
I will watch and give it a shot! Goodluck Nicole.

I guess her previous "acting" experience with then BFF Paris Hilton gives her PLENTY of experience to not only star but PRODUCE her next series -- the life of the privileged!
