Update: Nicole Richie Arrested for DUI


I suppose I could've been a dick and put "Breaking News" up in the title, but I didn't, because to do so would've suggested that something important actually happened.

Yes kids, Nicole Richie has been nailed for DUI. TMZ reports that the rail-thin Simple Life star was spotted driving the wrong way on the 134 Freeway in Burbank, and was pulled over in the carpool lane by police. She was hauled into the station but tests for alcohol came up negative. Richie then admitted to having taken Vicodin and pot before getting in the vehicle.

So she got bombed out of her mind on pills and lettuce then climbed into her car and drove the wrong way down the freeway. Sounds like somebody needs a little attention. And a ham-on-rye with extra mayo (given that the booking sheet listed her weight as 85 lbs.).

Update: TMZ has tape of the 911 calls where motorists alerted police to Richie's erratic driving.
