Geez t.v., I ignore you for a couple of days and you turn on me. I always suspected you were a fickle bitch. Nicole Richie, celebutante turned celebrated mother of two, has landed her own show. I didn't know being a former coke-whore with a record qualified a person as an actor. Oh wait, I think I just described half of Hollywood. Details, via the beloved Evil Beet: [Nicole Richie has announced that she's signed a deal with
ABC to star in and produce a 30-minute comedy series. Nicole, once mostly famous for her Hollywood connections,
has more recently made a name for herself with her House of Harlow 1960
accessories line. She also
authored a book which was to be made into a television series and now, she's
adding acting -beyond the occasional guest appearance -- to her repertoire.
The show is being written by 30 Rock's Daisy Gardner --
anything 30 Rock-related shows promise -- and features a plot that, in the words
of Nicole, "revolves around a young, modern and professional woman who must
balance her business and family relationships. She must deal with, and navigate
the many ideas of what a woman's role is: modern vs. traditional."]
Yeah, I forgot to mention that it's not your run-of-the-mill reality show or a program on the CW. It's on freakin' ABC with 30 Rock cred. Holy hell. The lesson here is clear - get away from Paris Hilton and good things will come.
