Turns out Nicole Richie pled no contest to a DUI four years ago and under California law if she’s convicted of a DUI from Monday’s arrest she must serve a mandatory jail sentence. The law requires five consecutive days in county jail as well a one year license suspension. She’d also have to attend an alcohol education program for a year and a half even though her second DUI wasn’t alcohol related.
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.
I go days on vodka and french fries all the time. I call those weekdays. And weekends? Well I call those penguin eaters. Don’t ask why, unless you’re prepared for a heaping bowl full of awesome.

I think what I am most bothered by about this story is the fact that Nicole Richie was driving a corolla, I mean I know she wasn’t crazy famous in 2002 but she was still Lionel Richie’s daughter….could Dancing on the Ceiling and other timeless classics not buy his baby at least a Camry?
She ain’t going to jail… she’ll get a suspended sentence and do community service. Her pricey attorney will plead it down to something else. That’s the thing about the law, you can always work it if you have enough money.
#9 you stole my corny joke. Hey-yo!
Let’s remember folks that she has to be convicted of the 2nd DUI before mandatory jail time is involved. Which means that the district attorney’s office must charge her with it, and not let her plea down to a reckless op or something like that. Now who thinks that any lawyer in the DA’s office has enough integrity to not accept the envelope full of small bills just before the trial?
#55 – you said exactly what I was going to say. Where did the Fish find that photo of a dumb(founded) Nicole?
A majority don’t think that she’ll do jail time & their probably right.
She better start eating, the ladies in Cell Block H like a little junk in the trunk.
#56 – I was wondering about that too, but given the way this bitch drives would you trust her with anything nicer? BTW, exactly what the hell was she doing on a college campus?
Although I must say….going from a Corolla to a G-Class in 4 years isn’t bad. I guess hanging out with Paris and not eating has worked out well for her after all.
two words: TOYOTA COROLLA.
I can’t stop laughing. It’s one step up from that “i see dead people” kid’s car with that he flipped on a mailbox or something…
godaamned that’s funny as hell.
As an aside, I hope she serves the full 5 days, in an orange jumpsuit which is too big for her of course (they come in kids sizes), and I hope she ends up doing it with a chola named Yolanda… so aptly suggested yesterday by fellow superfish commenter…. sigh. the holidays just got better for me.
What an idiot!! Maybe once in jail the medical staff in there will force her to eat. Either that or commit her.
LMAO @ # 35 and # 60!
I betcha $10 she wont do jail time OR if she does she’ll have her own private cell that she’s allowed to ‘decorate’ before she does the time.
please, send her to jail for like 10 years…
She’s not gonna do jail time. The girl is rich and is gonna hire the best attorneys, for real. It’s not like she killed anybody. I like her very much and I think the media is making a big deal out of a little mistake.
