Nicole Richie will decide Wednesday whether or not to accept a plea deal offered by prosecutors in her driving-under-the-influence case, according to a court spokesman. The terms of the deal have not been made public.
Richie’s attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, is expected to appear on behalf of her client and either accept or reject the plea deal, Allan Parachini, a spokesman for the Los Angeles County Superior Court, tells the Associated Press.
Richie, 25, is not required to attend the court hearing because she faces a misdemeanor charge. In fact, The Simple Life star is not even in the country at the moment. She left L.A. on Monday for Calgary, Canada, where boyfriend Joel Madden performed a concert with his band Good Charlotte.
On Tuesday, Holley requested that the L.A. Superior Court postpone the trial because one of her witnesses would not be available until early August.
The Superior Court commissioner told her to submit motions on Wednesday, when Richie's trial was originally scheduled to start.
Authorities arrested Richie on Dececember 11 after witnesses reported seeing her SUV headed the wrong way down a California highway. She allegedly failed a field sobriety test and admitted to having smoked marijuana and taken a Vicodin.
In February, Richie pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor driving under the influence. She had a prior misdemeanor DUI conviction in June 2003.
The California Vehicle Code states that, if a person is convicted of DUI twice within 10 years, they can be sentenced to between 90 days and a year in jail and have their driver’s license revoked.

Anon 12:26, I believe Nicole pled Guilty and I am pretty sure she did not write this story. She has been laying low like a smart girl. If she goes out to get a soda at 7/11 she is in tabloids. Why don't you look up the stats of how many people are doing time for a MISDEMEANER! You are a bitter person and probably a man! Jerkoff

You know, Nicole wasn't the wildest in the bunch to begin with, not counting her earlier years when she was a nobody. I think she'll do fine with this baby and grow up. I highly doubt that she'll be a Britney Spears. But I was wondering if her witness is Joel Madden himself.

Does anyone find it funny that in this picture there a skeleton arm in the upper right corner that looks exactly like Nicole's actual arm?

Get your F.U.K.I.N. stuff together and stop trying to make us feel bad for you and get leniency for being the(haven't done anything worth mentioning)daughter of a famous person.

I cant stand Hilary Duff so I hope Nicole is pregnant just to see poor Hilary cry. Have you guys read her (hilary) interview with US basically saying "who cares? (I DO!)" You can totally tell shes jealous. HAHA. Right now, I love Nicole and wish her the best in the court proceedings.

I would like to be optimistic and hope that Nicole will pull her life together for her child sake. I actually had a life before I had kids too! Before all the haters jump on saying she has no right to have a baby, I say Good Luck Nicole...and please eat something!
