Wow, that's a new one on me. I've heard "The Curse" blamed for many things but never drunk driving.

I'm not exactly certain about the chronology here but as best as I can ascertain Nicole Richie says she was taking Vicodin to help her through her monthly ride on the cotton pony.

Somehow this in turn ties in with excessive drinking, which in turn caused her to drive drunk. Only the last element makes any sense.

In case you think I'm making this up here's the story.

If I had that good an imagination I'd be the world's greatest novelist.

"The Smoking Gun" reports that Nicole Richie is down to 85 pounds and even lost an inch in height.

Here's more on her recent recalcitrant behavior.

And this page has a poll regarding Nicole's choice of stylists. The vast majority of people feel she's better off without Rachel Zoe.

See, I kind of like the way Richie looks in her mug shot. Yeah OK, she ragged and all but it's the most natural I've ever seen her. In fact, not that she's old by any means, but I think she looks even younger in that shot.

Anyway, that's just me, and you know how weird I am.
