This is a good one, people! Now, hands up those of you who would ever have imagined Nicole Richie, Paris Hilton's best friend and occasional friendly enemy, would end up turning into a saint? Well, a baby can really turn a woman's life around, and it seems to have been the case for the feisty, petite daughter of Lionel Richie. Ever since she got pregnant, Nicole has apparently ditched her old ways and has become a much more responsible person - which is a great thing, seeing that she's the only one of the Hollywood sweethearts busted for DUI last year who actually managed to effectively change something about her and wasn't back to her old tricks in no time.
Want a short recap? Well, Lindsay Lohan tried to pretend she was this big reformed saint and went through a lot of trouble to try and sell herself as "Saint Lindsay" but no one really believed her story. Drugs and a lot of casual sex at alarmingly short intervals would do that to a person's public image. And then there was Paris, who did spend some time in the slammer but emerged just as messed up and as prone to flash her vagina on a wild night of partying as she was before she was put behind bars.
And speaking of Paris, the former heiress is reportedly quite keen to keep Nicole in her good books and keep the rest of us thinking that she's still best friends with her former Simple Life co-star. Not only was Paris one of the official hosts of Nicole's baby shower, but she also reportedly sent her "friend" an expensive baby gift - which Nicole, in a move that in my opinion should go down in the Guinness Book of Records, promptly donated to the charity she co-founded with her boyfriend and baby daddy Joel Madden. "Paris sent them a crib for their baby. It was very expensive, and she was mad when she heard they gave it away" Star magazine reports. "Paris told Nicole, 'This isn't something you give away to charity!'" But Nicole already has furniture for the baby's nursery that her dad, Lionel, bought for her".
Well, imagine that. There is actually someone out there who dares to resist the temptation of keeping an expensive gift bought by Paris Hilton herself! And instead of putting it into storage and allowing it to gather dust in a corner of some big old, Beverly Hills mansion, Nicole decided to make something good of Paris' gift, which she obviously had no intention of using herself, and made sure it was going to help someone out there. Well, can you really expect Paris Hilton's self-centered mind to understand something like that? I only hope Paris doesn't decide to take her vengeance on Nicole by getting pregnant herself. I could handle World War 3, but I really couldn't handle a pregnant Paris Hilton - and I'm not even joking on that one.
