Here's twiggy little Nicole Richie and her formerly inexplicable pregnancy bump. She didn't even tell her dad, Lionel, before publishing her Very Special Pregnancy Confirmation in US Weekly. Some people call, others send emails. The famous have...different ways to make momentous announcements.
The first picture, with that little round belly, reminded me of happier days. Remember when the unknown Nicole was a funny, wise-cracking sidekick, with a handful of muffin top flowing over her jeans? When she flashed her round boobies and pierced nipple at the Joey T fashion show (tons of uncensored pix... here)? Or how bad her weave was before Rachel Zoe made her cut that shit off? And check out the difference in thigh circumference!
Ah yes, the Rachel Zoe era brought big changes, like haircuts and prominent clavicles:
We cheered when Nicole became the best dressed celebutard. She wasn't supposed to get more famous than Paris, at least according to Paris. But there she was, topping every list. It was like watching a Loser Table Girl take over the popular group, right down to her nuclear showdown with Queen Paris (allegedly for showing "A Night in Paris" at a party, how hilarious is that?!)
We even celebrated her friendship with occasional arch-rival and co-Zoe-victim Lindsay. Then they took it too far with the horse tranquilizers in the bathroom of Hyde. Thin became wicked skinny. Then wicked skinny became gaunt.
Thankfully she used her zombie hands to give Rachel Zoe a big, public middle finger. She did some rehab, made a little progress, had a little slip up, met Joel Madden and became his groupie and now his baby momma. She even has some boobies again!
She's still skinny, she's moving too fast
with her boyfriend, and she's probably spectacularly ill-equipped (at
least in terms of BMI) to be a mom at the tender age of 25. And we're still cheering her on. So many of us have high hopes for Nicole. It turns out, we like her.
Maybe, this baby is her road back to normalcy, assuming of course it's born with ventricles and lungs. Hey, at least we know she's off the pot and vicodin these days! Yes! Remember? That was self-medication for cramps, which won't be a problem for a few months. See, she's better already.
