Skinny Girl Famous for Nothing Arrested for DUI

richie.jpgFor those of you who don’t venture into the gossip blogs or read celebrity headlines, you might have missed the news that Nicole Richie was arrested for driving under the influence early Monday morning. Actually, come to think of it, if you don’t venture into gossip blogs, you probably don’t even know who Nicole Richie is, and it’s hard to properly describe her relevancy to a layperson. She’s Lionel Richie’s daughter, which is not what makes her famous. She has a reality television show called “The Simple Life,” that few people have seen. And, she was once best friends with Paris Hilton, for also whom there is no reasonable explanation for her popularity and/or relevancy. They drink. The whore themselves out to rich, drunk men. And they rarely eat – in fact, if Richie were to turn sideways, you’d never even know she was in a room.

At any rate, a 911 caller spotted Richie driving her SUV on the wrong side of the road. When police arrived to the scene, Richie was pulled over in the car pool lane, where she admitted she was under the influence of marijuana and Vicodin.

You can now hear the 911 call or even watch the video of her arrest. Why you’d want to, however, is beyond my understanding of celebrity obsession.
