Nicole Ritchie Turns 30, It’s Been A Long, Strange, Skanky Road

A lot has changed for Nicole Richie since her days of hanging around gal pal Paris Hilton on the show Simple Life. For one thing she’s now the mother of two children (Harlow and Sparrow) and now she can add turning thirty to her list of growing up.

During her 20’s Nicole went through rehab, was charged with some DUIs and spent a good amount of her time dancing on tables and acting like a run of the mill skank.

These days Richie has cleaned up her act and she’s now a wife, mother and designer, she even spends her spare time working on humanitarian projections. Nicole has even launched the Richie-Madden Children’s Foundation to help disadvantaged children.

While Richie has been noticeably vacant from the small screen over the last few years she will soon be returning as a judge on NBC’s newest reality TV series Fashion Star.

Apparently all she wanted for her birthday was 10 dollars, she tweeted:

“My grandma better step it up this year & give me a 10 dollar bill for my birthday tomorrow!”

Happy birthday to Nicole Ritchie now if she could just get Paris Hilton to step up and begin acting more like an adult.
