Comment: That's what happens when you allow silly little white girls to project their character flaws, imperfections, and insecurities onto you. This poor girl needs to find a way to accept and love herself on her own terms, to

Name: goodnplenty1957
Comment: so let me get this straight? ...her mother is white.. her father was in lionel's band..was he white?..cause she sho dont look black and lionel is her STEP father. (course he aint been black since he left the Commodores).. hmmmm and what does this story have to do with anything? (dang where is FOXXXY BROWN or LIL' KIM or even a NAOMI CAMPBELL story when ya need one).

Comment: ..Yo, here is her father tryna do some good and she gotta steal the spotlite..."Well, dad's singing for the Nobel Prize winner...I'm gonna take my dumdazz out and drive drunk nevermind if I kill anybody...I'm gonna make some headlines"...>good, I think she's part Hispanic...related to Sheila E or something like that...She's famous because her father is a great songwriter...I don't get that sh1t and never will...

Name: MediaAgent
Comment: This is the story: Nicole Richie is Sheila E's niece. Before she got with Prince, she and her brother were in Lionel Ritchie's band. (Check YouTube for the video "Running with the Night" and you will see that Sheila plays Lionel's love interest. Her brother is in it, but it's hard to spot him). Anyhoo, her brother was a hot mess, on drugs and he had Nicole. When Lionel and his then wife (sista named Brenda) saw Prince's Purple Rain tour, Nicole was on the stage and they saw her. The bottom line with this girl is she has SERIOUS identity problems. We were looking at her rap sheet when she got arrested some years ago for heroin possesion and...

Name: MediaAgent
Comment: on one report she's listed as white and on another report she's listed as black. How Lionel and Brenda got mixed up with the society crowd, who knows, but this child has problems. She's latin, grew up in black household and identifies herself as a "white socialite"...you KNOW that people (Paris and the rest of them hoes) have said very negative things and I BET that Paris called her something negative which is what caused her to break up her friendship with her. She needs help.

Name: robijoa
Comment: Out of all the people in L.A., how is it that the celebrities get caught going against traffic drunk and in the middle of the street (Martin Lawrence) shouting out explicits?

Name: MediaAgent
Comment: And on top of that, after they adopt Nicole Lionel then goes and cheats on Brenda with a 25/20. Where's the love for your family then? I swear, these celebrities are ridiculous. That's why when Lionel gets all "She get's it from her daddy"...I'm usually going, is he trying to be smug or what...WHICH DAD YOU TALKIN ABOUT LIONEL???!!!

Name: FiveMore
Comment: No one would care if she was all Black.If she was Lionel's biological daughter with Brenda, you would not even know Nicole.How was she raised?Black people tend to have a different viewpoint when it comes child rearing.Somebody did not do their job as a parent.She could have killed someone!

Name: McNasty
Comment: Lionel raised this hot mess and with all her problems and the fact that she still lives with him you'd think he would at least get this bag of bones a driver!

Name: goodnplenty1957
Comment: i tell ya..ya never knew she had latin in her..sho cant tell she was raised in a BLACK family. but you are right..driving that way could have got someone killed. spoiled rich becky.

Name: Monicia
Comment: Lawd @ "Becky"...........The chile is latino. 85 pounds? dayum she gained a few pounds,,,,,,,,,*****sniggling*****

Name: khufu
Comment: the moral of this story: Lionel, you should have gone to Africa and raised an African child---they would have been a lot more appreciative

Name: Maxidon
Comment: Lionel first needs to solve the hunger issues his kid has before she's 6 feet under. She needs it more than them kids in Africa. What an embarrassment!

Name: leeneepoo
Comment: I agree with all comments. However, she is weighing in at 85 and you are drunk..with her body weight and being intoxicated that chick is trying to kill herself...but she is deciding to do it slowly. Not only is she confused but she is screaming out loud for help and her peeps can not even hear her...

Name: DCGG
Comment: drunkin azz bytch coulda killed somebody...send her azz to jail!

Name: QueenCityBee
Comment: DCGG> She will get the usual slap on the wraist, like they always get. Skeletor lookin fool.

Name: whynotme
Comment: i don't think nicole is all latino because i think her biological mother is a white woman.....but anywho, that is one skinny azz heifer she needs to go eat something QUICK!

Name: gingerg
Comment: This heifer didn't even realize that she could have killed someone. Her weight was reported as 100 on her license, but she wanted to make sure that they got it right - 85. He11, my eight year old neice weighs nearly that much (and needs to be on a serious exercise and proper nutrition program, but that ain't got nothing to do with this). Any way, Nicole is miserable, wants to BE a white girl and will probably overdose next year.

Name: TJthemilitant
Comment: She should the poster child for famine relief,,because at 85 fvckin' pounds, the heifer is famished!...

Name: Deb70
Comment: The crazy thing about all this is that Nicole kind of helped Lionel re-gain some of his popularity, because his azz was fading into the background before she popped up and became famous for doing nothing. Well, actually she became famous because she's Lionel's daughter and hung out with Paris. She has done nothing worthwhile since she's been in the spotlight. She shops and goes to parties. That's all I've ever read about. I watched "The Simple Life" when it first aired and was amazed at how trifling Nicole is. She just lies on the regular and seems to have no morals at all. I was really embarrased for Lionel and Brenda because it was evident she was given no home training whatsoever. She's spoiled shatless. Really, she has no business being famous because she's does nothing. 85 pounds? What is that? I remember the first season of The Simple Life that girl had much meat on her. She was actually a tad juicy. That Latin blood. Now she's trying to be like those dumb YT girls, who don't truly accept her anyway.

Name: gingerg
Comment: You know, there was a time when children took the position that they were not going to publicly do anything that would dishnor themselves or their parents. Even after they were grown. Here, we have some obvious lack of home training and common sense. It is almost as if Nicole, Lindey, Paris, Britney and their sorry ilk pride themselves on trying to find the next stupid thing to do. When they do, they are hailed and villified in the media. Some day soon, one of them will do something that results in a real tragedy for someone else and there will be hell to pay.

Name: SpecialK
Comment: I'm just waiting for the next "tragic" hollywood death. Between Nicole, Paris, Lindsay and Britney, one of them fools is heading for an early grave. Watch Nicole's dumbazz be back behind the wheel within a week.

Name: thatbklyngirl
Comment: >>QueenCityBee, Thank you, she aint gonna spend no kind of time in jail. She just gonna get probation or some other trifling celebrity justice. One thing I will not do is blame Lionel or Brenda for a grown as woman's behavior. She's not 18 or 19, She's grown and like it or not has her own money (she got paid off of Simple Life and other endorsements I think she did Jimmy Choo ads). She's doing this because she wants to. After a certain age that whole blame your parents nonsense should go out the window. They are not responsible for your day to day actions

Name: CILLA8192
Comment: From what I understand her mother was yt and father was black. The mother didn't want her so her father took her on tour and was unable to care for her properly, so lionel offered to adopt her because his wife could not have children and they wanted children. What I don't understand is why if this girl smokes pot then why is she only 85lbs when we all know weed gives you the munchies she must be purging.

Name: MissE
Comment: You guys are really harsh. This board never ceases to amaze me. It's evident the girl needs help. Where is your compassion? Oh but for the grace of God there go you, your daughter, your neice, your grandaughter.....my, my, my.

Name: Deb70
Comment: Yes, she needs help and has every opportunity open to her to get it. So why are we to blame for talking about her when she does things to keep herself in the public eye, including driving the wrong way on the freeway, which could have ended up taking someone's life...would we be wrong for talking about her then? I don't understand where the sympathy is coming from or why.

Name: Stephanie
Comment: Like everybody was too stupid to figure out she was still on drugs. It sounds like she's trying to commit suicide. 85lbs...wow...

Name: gingerg
Comment: If Nicole wanted help, she could get it. She could have stayed in the luxury rehab center that she checked herself out of to go shopping. Girlfriend is too afraid that she is going to miss the next hot party to realize that her life is in jeopardy. And her trifling BFF (Best Friends Forever) will continue talking about her long after she bites the dust at an early age. It doesn't have to be this way. Look at Mary J. Blige. She was strung out, too, but she had sense enough to eat. She's cleaned up her life and is continuing to enjoy the fruits of her labor and even more accolades. You've got to respect that.

Name: gingerg
Comment: Still on drugs? That brings up another issue. Much is made of street drugs, but prescription junkies are all the rage now.

Name: MissE
Comment: Deb, she could have also taken HER OWN life. Maybe she was attempting suicide like others have suggested. Yeah, she has every opportunity to get help, so did Whitney.

Name: Deb70
Comment: MissE--all I'm saying is that it's ridiculous for someone who has more opportunity than most to get help, to continue living this way. I understand what you're saying though. When someone is depressed or spiritually lost, money or opportunity to fix the situation doesn't mean anything. Believe me, I have much empathy because I have a family member who went through the same thing. The person has to want to get help, noone can make them. So, I have no idea what point I'm making. I guess only that each person is responsible for themselves, and while I have sympathy, that has to end at some point and the person has to do what is necessary to help themselves.

Name: NueNue
Comment: you guys are very negitive and judgemental...I dont know what to say

Name: azure15
Comment: If Nicole is driving the wrong way on a freeway, then it should immediately cease to be a "cute" or funny story. This is nothing if not serious. This could've been a disaster...what if she had hit a minivan with a family inside? Lionel needs to curtail his performing for the short term, and give 100% (along with the rest of his family) to Nicole. They can do it in a compassionate way. I'm not saying they should slap her around or nothin'.

Name: Deb70
Comment: How are we negative and judgmental? How about the story not being run at all...then no one will have anything to say. Better yet, let's all give three cheers for Nicole driving down the freeway in the wrong direction while under the influence. Hip-hip hooray! Hip-hip-hooray! Hip-hip hooray! Is that better? That's not being too judgmental is it?

Name: bettyb
Comment: Ive been LMAO all morning reading the comments on this board..LoL, the feed bag comment got me rolling. But back to Nicole dumb azz. 85 pounds she weigh less then my 5 yr old daughter..lol

Name: southernsista
Comment: Whitney did seek help and is doing better. You have to want to be helped and Nicole is seeking attention rather than help. If it wasn't for the crazy and stupid things that she does, we would never hear about her. She needs a good psychiatrist or some therapis to help her with her identity crisis that she seems to be having. She needs to realize that she is not Paris, Britney, or Lindsey. She is the daughter of Lionel Ritchie not Bruce Springsteen. She needs to get a grip!

Name: TJthemilitant
Comment: Whatver, maybe the shoestring heifer doesn't want any help..Maybe she thinks looking like ET's great grandmother is cute!..I straight don't give a fvck about these holly"weird" heifers who can buy their way out of every damn thing..Next she'll have a tell all book about how witnessing Brenda beating the sh*t out of Lionel (and his trick on the side)is what started her downward spiral!..

Name: ChocolateBrownGal
Comment: The scariest thing about this madness is that teen girls look at Nicole and the rest of her "crew" as role models & fashionistas. However she identifies, at this point who even cares...I hope that Ly-o-nell & Brenda gets their DAUGHTER help and show her some tough love.

Name: gingerg
Comment: I agree that parents are not totally responsible for the behavior of grown folks, but could her mother' abandonment be the root cause of some of this errant behavior? When a parent walks away, for whatever reason, aren't they conveying the message that the child is not worth their time?

Name: MediaAgent
Comment: I'm with Southernsista! One more thing and I'ma bounce..when you deny who you are, you are going to have a whole lot of problems. Lionel has had problems with his identity ever since he left the Commodores, Brenda went all blond and changed her look. Both of them have more than likely put their insecurites on Nicole, like I said, she gets adopted and then they split 3months later. She knows who her aunt and father are, plus she has been around simple minded socialites and celebrities. The girl is going to wind up dead for sure if someone does not take heed of this situation! You all know someone who has maybe had everything, but you really know that their parents don't give a damm. Any mystery as to why the children are all f*&^ed up?

Name: shulamite
Comment: She needs help and wants help (which is why she hasn't committed suicide YET). But there's something the drugs/lifestyle are giving her that she hasn't figured out how to replace. Until she does that, she'll keep going back to them. Lionel and Brenda have already been "through it" with her. They kicked her out for the sake of their other kids, and I would have done the same thing. Nicole is going to have to ask herself in a sober moment whether she really wants her life. If so, only she cna figure out what thing in life is worth trading the drugs in for. Lionel can't do this for Nicole.

Name: gingerg
Comment: What kind of life is hanging out in different clubs every night of the week, sleeping (with various people), then getting up and going shopping? Ok, so they don't have to work, but what about having some kind of ambition. At least Paris' sister, Nikki, pretends to work at designing things.

Name: MediaAgent
Comment: Plus she needs 6 months of rehab, not 2 weeks!! The girl was on Heroin for god's sake! And as far as a poster saying we are negative, NOOOOO, these celebrities are. If you do stupid shyt and wind up in the press, you are seeking sympathy and help. However, I am not a therapist there are people who get paid to help them, there are other people out here who are poor and no one gives a damm. Call it what it is and get some help. I would not want my child to emulate anyone of these so called "entertainers".. It's ridiculous!

Name: Harriet
Comment: Nicole's issues, I believe, are related to her identity. She grew up around all of these wealthy white friends and knew that she didn't fit in. When she did the SIMPLE LIFE she thought she looked fat up against Paris, (who is also ridiculously skinny), so she went on this diet of starvation that she now blames her ex-boyfriend for- but Nicole was already thin when she met the DJ. She then hired this woman to begin dressing her since she was doing such a poor job of it her self. She then went to the celebrity hairstylist and had him take every kink out of her hair, dye it blonde, and give her a killer cut- which he did. Then she had a little nip and tuck (that nose has been redone) and voilla! You now have the new and improved more European looking Nicole. In the process of all of this, there was a lot of partying and drinking and drugs. Nicole has been drinking and doing drugs since she was an adolescent. But none of this is going to make her "good enough." Even after all of this, Paris (whom I think she wants to be) still won't hang out with her but instead would prefer to hang out with Britney, who comes from a trailer park in Lousiana, doesn't wear panties, chews gum and walks around with no shoes on. But she is STILL better to them than is Nicole because she is white. It doesn't help that Nicole's father is one fo the best songwriters in the world and Paris has a CD out before Nicole does which she claims to always be "working on." I guarantee you that Paris has either called her a nicca, or a half-breed wannabe or something like that because every since she and Paris "fell out" this girl has been headed straight to hell in gasoline drawers.

Name: Marlin
Comment: who is she? this girl has not contributed anything to entertainment let alone being a voice to end world hunger....what is her problem? she was adopted by a multi million dollar singer and producer and her OTHER option was to be rich as well....Esposito? as in Shelia E's family!!!!???...maybe then if she was raised by her people her coo-coo tail would be a little more grounded as to who she is (NOT PARIS!!!)....Nicole is a little confused Puerto Rican girl who needs the tatste smaked out of her mouth.....bottom line.

Name: Deb70
Comment: Harriet, that was a really good post. Marlin, that is a good point. I wonder how things would be if she'd been raised around Sheila E.'s people. I was just looking at Sheila's website and she has a beautiful, brown family, and I'm sure Nicole would have done far better being brought up by that side of her family because she wouldn't feel the need to try and conform to the ways of YT. Sheila seems like she don't play, and I think as her aunt, maybe she could step in and help. But I have no idea if she has a relationship with Nicole or not. Nicole wants to be white, so I don't know if anyone can help her at this point. I hope they can though.

Comment: Harriet, you hit the nail on the head.

Name: Harriet
Comment: Deb70- Thank you!

Name: katgrrrl
Comment: This makes me wonder about that kid who was on MTV's The Real World: Paris a few years ago. I think his name was Adam. His father was in the Commodores. He seemed to have a lot of issues too. Guess the grass ain't always greener on the other side. I still wouldn't mind goin' over there for a spell.

Name: CILLA8192
Comment: azure15; Good point, but it happens it happened in my home town a woman just got off work and was very tired and was driving the wrong way on the freeway and one car swerved out of the way but the car behind that one hit her head on and it was a state trooper both died instantly. Some of those entrance ramps could be confusing and I read another post that not only was she under the influence but also on her cell phone and probably wasn't even paying attention, and since it was so early there was noone really out on the road for her to notice. This could have been a very tragic situation like the one here and there were no drugs or alcohol involved just sleeplessness.

Name: CILLA8192
Comment: oh just went to another site and she or her publishist has made a comment on her behalf here it is: This is a difficult time for Nicole but she is prepared to accept whatever responsibility is appropriate. She intends to continue with her career and will deal with any other issues that need to be addressed." Yeah sure as you can read she will accept appropriate responsibility what does that mean, and what career oh well just thought ya'll might like to see her statement.

Name: WordUp
Comment: I wonder what Nicole said to Paris to cause their fall out. It was reported that it was Nicole who offended Paris, actually. I remember hearing on the tube Paris' statment: "Nicole knows what she did. That's all I'll ever say about it." What did you do or say, Nicole? I believe it had something to do with Nicole having a party on the same night of Paris' birthday party. Whateva! Paris will always see your blackness Nic!

Name: candygyrl
Comment: Just for the record. Nicole's mother is white and her father is spanish. Her father was the drummer from the Commodores, the band that Lionel Richie was in. In addition, Nicole's father is also Sheila E's brother.

Name: gingerg
Comment: WordUp, it has something to do with Nicole playing the Paris' sex tape. I think Nicole is just trying to get attention because Paris is now hanging out with that lowlife Britney. They act like a bunch of 10 year olds.

Name: gingerg
Comment: Now, Lindsey claims that she has been going to AA meetings for a year. What is the purpose of that if you are going to continue to take drugs and drink into the wee hours of the morning?

Name: Deb70
Comment: These chicks are all dumb. I'm glad it ain't a bunch of sistas acting out like this. The only one I can think of who regularly acts a fool is Naomi Campbell, and I don't know if I consider her a certified sista anyway.

Name: dcdouglass01
Comment: A naive statement by Lionel: "We thought we were going to eradicate hunger throughout the world.... Now it's 20 years later and we're still discussing the same issue." And ironic that it's his daughter who he's now trying to save from starvation.
