What Nicole Richie Has Over Her Peers, Besides A Protruding Abdomen
Besides her ability to reproduce, Nicole Richie has one thing her peers seem unwilling to grasp: humility. Now, this isn't to say that she is some kind of saint, but in her world of coke, booze and whoring it up, Richie has become a veritable well-spring of chastity, heck, she's become so demure she's like a modern day Audrey Hepburn.
Ok, perhaps I jest on that last bit.
Seriously though, when you look at Richie's celeb-peers like Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, Nicole Richie seems to get it. Or at least her PR people do. In a recent interview (OK!) Nicole is quoted on the cover as saying "I could have killed someone," in response to her DUI and reckless driving on the freeway back in February. Nicole also confessed to her wrong-doing at the time of her accident, admitting to police that, yes, she was under the influence of vicodin and marijuana by-golly.
Granted, her excuse for using the painkiller and illegal substance was somewhat dubious (painful menstral cramps) she did own up to it on the spot. She gets points in my book for having at least done that. It's been my experience that when caught doing something wrong, the best response is to tell the truth from the beginning. People aren't expecting it, and truthfulness is a fairly noble trait. We all sin, no doubt, but coming clean and admitting you sinned is the first step to being forgiven.
Nicole's admittance and acceptance of her poor judgment are in stark contrast to Lindsay Lohan's blatant denial of wrong-doing in her recent spate of felonies, including, but certainly not limited to: speeding, driving while under the influence of alcohol and cocaine, commandeering a vehicle and holding the occupants of the vehicle hostage while she went on a driving rampage through the streets. Talk about "could have killed someone" Jesus, Mary and Joseph, Lindsay Lohan's was practically on her way to becoming some kind of vehicular serial killer.
