Star magazine is reporting that Nicole Richie's baby is in danger: "She's just 25 years old, but Nicole Richie has done more than her share of hard living. And now, say medical experts, she may have to pay the price.

Nicole has been using heroin and pills. She's abused alcohol and cocaine and battled devastating anorexia. She has also been arrested for DUI and drugs and has done three stints in rehab, while becoming famous as Paris Hilton's wild party pal.

But the 12-weeks-pregnant "The Simple Life" star is facing her biggest challenge yet — motherhood.

Although she's frightened and desperate to stay clean, sources say sobriety remains a daily struggle, and experts agree that beating her demons will likely be a long and arduous process.

HIGH RISK
Doctors say Nicole's pregnancy is unusually high-risk. If she did have drugs in her system when she got pregnant, she could be at risk for a miscarriage or birth defects.

Nicole's weight is another serious ongoing problem. Mary Jane Minkin, M.D., a clinical professor at Yale University (who has not treated Nicole), is surprised that the scary-skinny star could conceive at all. "That baby is at extraordinary risk," says Dr. Minkin. "Nicole needs to gain at least 40 pounds to nourish the baby properly."

Bricks and Stones posts on her latest legal victory: "In the life of the privileged and famous, Nicole Richie has gotten another break in her DUI trial. The trial will not start today and has been pushed back another month until August 16th. The postponement occurred because Nicole’s key witness, Dr. McGee, is on vacation with his family. Dr. McGee will reportedly challenge the drug results.

I bet this stupid hoe will not even get charged even when she finally gets her ass to court. And the worst part is, what jury would believe a doctor named Dr. McGee?That sounds real credible, like he for sure isn’t some ex-hippie stoner doctor that passes out prescriptions for weed and vicodin. Gotta love the justice system."

How is anyone remotely surprised? Celebs get out of jail time? This is not news. What's beyond sick though, is that she would possibly use her pregnant condition to the aid of avoiding a sentence. I mean, what is this, "The Young and the Restless"? Maybe her evil twin should take the stand.

From TMZ: "Says Paris' mom Kathy, who tells People that their visit to Paris in jail left Nicky "in hysterics" and that the younger Hilton "tried to keep the brave face but -- I never see Nicky cry." Nicky describes the scene as "right out of the movies ... the glass partition, the orange jumpsuit. Everything."

Meanwhile, Nicky might be boo-hooing but she's spitting back at L.A. City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo, saying, "[Paris is] not in jail for DUI. That's a big misconception. She's in jail for driving on a suspended license, just like the D.A.'s wife was." Delgadillo's wife did get just a $186 fine for a traffic ticket she got while driving on a suspended license two years ago, though she wasn't busted for the license."

Unless she commits suicide in her cell with a bedsheet, I'm not posting anymore Paris Hilton stories. For the day.

TMZ cameras spotted this sign posted outside the Century Regional Detention Center in Lynwood yesterday. What, did the inmates make this in their spare time? All that time they have between dying their lips fruit punch red and finding Jesus?

Soraya Lopez served time with Paris Hilton at Lynwood and says she's "top dog" in prison and the other inmates are glad to have her there. Soraya said that Paris is not wearing the orange jumpsuit that the others wear, but she's wearing pink polka dot prison scrubs. She's also wearing full make-up when other girls have to use coffee grounds and fruit punch to make lipstick and blush.

Soraya is glad that Paris was there with her, because she claims they were treated better. "The whole facility is benefiting from this - they are feeding us better and releasing us earlier because they don't want people around her."

Is Paris really this cool? Like worthy of the BMOC title (or the BBIJ--Big Bitch in Jail)? Why was she allowed to separate herself from the other inmates with pink polka dot prison scrubs? This isn't a fucking hospital where you can celebrate Easter via printed scrubs. And I guess that old adage about women dressing up for each other is true, if women are that desperate for makeup that they use coffee grounds (for hair dye??) and fruit punch.

Nicole Richie hasn't addressed rumors that she's pregnant with Joel Madden's baby, but she has changed her wardrobe quite a bit, opting for blousy, flowy dresses or jumpers, and hey, that's evidence enough for the bloggers. But it seems (if you believe her "friends") that Richie has ulterior motives for being pregnant.

"A friend of Nicole's said she's definitely knocked up and is hoping that a baby will keep her out of jail due to a DWI arrest. The friend said, "Nicole is kind of hoping her pregnancy will keep her out of jail." Other friends are concerned that she will be able to carry the baby, because of her stick-thin figure."

Classy, Nicole.

Lou Perlman, the man who cursed us with N'Sync and the Backstreet Boys, has been located and arrested. From Dlisted: "Overall hotness, Lou Perlman, was arrested this morning in Indonesia and will be sent to Florida shortly to face bank fraud charges. Lou created some of the biggest boy bands in the 90s from the Backstreet Boys to N'Sync. He cheated thousands of investors out of $315 million by selling them bogus savings account plan, then using their money to cover his losses in other businesses. He was on the lamb for months." How could he be on the lamb? He can barely shuffle down a sidewalk. Maybe they'll starve him in prison, because you KNOW he won't be doing push-ups on the floor of his cell.

CELEBDISH CUTLETS
-->Reports People mag: After a stay of less than a week, Richie Sambora has left his rehab program at the UCLA medical center. Seems pretty quick to be fully recovered.
-->Last night Paris Hilton was moved back to Lynwood, where she originally started her sentence. As of now, she is in the medical ward at Lynwood, but since she has been deemed "medically stable," she will return to her solitary cell in the special needs division. The secret medical condition? Panic attacks.
-->At last night's NYC premiere of "A Mighty Heart", Angelina Jolie went with a $26 vintage dress from a thrift store in LA, as opposed to a designer gown. Smacks of Sharon Stone's GAP turtleneck. But cooler, because it's vintage. Oh Angie, you're so edgy.

From Bricks and Stones: "Paris Hilton has reportedly been transferred from the medical ward at Twin Towers jail in downtown LA to the Century Regional Detention Center in Lynwood to carry out the rest of her sentence. While Paris was at Twin Towers jail, it was costing in excess of $1,000 a day to care for her."

Wanna know what else is costing her $1,000 a day? Her Adderall habit. Prescribed for people with ADD, Adderall has an added side effect: weight loss. And we know how much people in LA love weight loss. "Paris Hilton’s cellmates haven’t figure out that she is NOT taking the drug Adderall because she actually has ADD (attention deficit disorder.) Are they the only people who don’t know that every thin actress in this town gulps Adderall by the handful because it has a great side effect - it makes them lose weight! It’s the hottest new diet pill on the market! Every $10,000 handbag you see on the arm of a skinny celebrity contains Adderall and cigarettes. Think about it. Paris’s costar and best friend Nicole Ritchie also pretends to have ADD and takes the drug. It’s not illegal if you convince your doctor you have ADD - and that’s not hard to do."

Paris Hilton's father, Rick, is planning a "Get out of jail" party for his eldest daughter when she's out of prison in a few weeks. He has already approached some big Las Vegas clubs, like Pure, the Hard Rock Hotel, and the Palms, none of which have signed on yet, reported Page Six. And TMZ announced "that Paris Hilton suffers from extreme Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and claustrophobia, and these conditions may have triggered the Sheriff's decision to spring her from Lynwood Jail last week. We're told Hilton is taking Adderall for her ADD. Although our sources were not specific, we're told Hilton was not receiving all of her medications at Lynwood. As a result, Hilton was having severe panic attacks in jail. There were times she was so debilitated, she could not push the panic button in her cell." A panic button? Don't they have those in retirement centers? Right next to the toilet? I think I accidentally pulled the cord once visiting my grandma in her retirement center. Best part about that day was seeing the shampoo she used: Silver Fox. What I want to address that's on-topic though is the speed with which a celeb is diagnosed with a mental illness. Britney's in rehab? She must have bipolar disorder. Paris is in jail? Well, she's gotta be ADD. This tendency to over-diagnose seems to be a new excuse for wrongdoing or getting your shit together. Maybe they're just fucked up, they don't necessarily have to suffering from a mental illness to account for their behavior. And who doesn'tthink jail is claustrophobic? You're in a fucking 9x9 cell, of course it's close quarters.

All over the news is that Paris Hilton's been sprung from jail 20 days too early, after serving only 72 hours at Lynwood. TMZ.com has had hourly updates, and the most recent covers the reasons behind her early dismissal: near nervous breakdown.

"Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Paris Hilton's medical condition was purely psychological and that she was in peril of having a nervous breakdown, and that's why she was released early this morning.

Psychiatrist Charles Sophy visited Hilton in jail yesterday and the day before. We're told after Sophy's visit yesterday, word was passed to the Sheriff that Hilton's mental state was fragile and she was at risk.

The reason for releasing her had nothing to do with a rash or other physical issues. It was purely in her head.

Last month, on the eve of a trial in which Hilton was accused of slandering socialite Zeta Graph, Dr. Sophy told the judge that Hilton was "emotionally distraught and traumatized" over her jail sentence, which prevented her from participating in a meaningful defense. That trial was put on hold until August.

UPDATE: Law enforcement sources have just told TMZ the County Jail medical team made the final decision to spring Paris based on Dr. Sophy's psychological evaluation. And we're told, Sheriff Lee Baca gave the final approval."

Is this what she does in the face of consequence? Not to compare a nervous breakdown to a good sob, but come on, this is the second time she's pulled this. She needs to own up to her actions and stop relying on legal loopholes to get herself off the hook. Paris will be on house arrest for forty days, and will be wearing an ankle bracelet that tracks her movement. And she's probably online shopping for accessories for the anklet, you know, some swarovski crystals here, a big "P" there. In fact, she's probably planning a pool party to welcome herself out of the clink.

From A Socialite's Life: "Paris Hilton may be facing a serious threat at the Lynwood Correction Facility where she is currently serving her 45-day sentence for violating her probation. The women's prison is rife with staph infection, with over 402 inmates diagnosed with the serious infection last year alone!

For every 1,000 inmates that enter the facility, 13 will contract some version of this infection that is caused by the staphylococcus bacteria.

Elizabeth Bancroft, an Epidemiologist for The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, spoke with INSIDE EDITION about the seriousness of the staph strain that is spreading through out the women's prison.

"MRSA is a kind of staph infection that means it's resistant to the first line of antibiotics we usually use to treat staph infection," she continues, "That is the kind that is so prevalent right now or so common in the jail."

Sick. But funny if she catches it.

From DListed: "Paris Hilton hasn't even stepped into a jail and she's already getting her time cut in half for good behavior. Jail officials have cut her some slack and reduced her 45 days to 23 days, because she sucked them off.

The L.A. County sheriff's office announced that they recognize her good behavior including showing up at her recent court date. Paris will also serve her 23-days in a special unit. These cells are specifically reserved for high-profile inmates who might otherwise be targeted by fellow prisoners. She will also get an hour a day to make phone calls, watch TV and shower.

This is a vacation if you ask me. I doubt she will serve more than 2 days. She hasn't even started serving and they've already reduced it which means they will probably cut it more when she shows up to jail. I can't say I'm surprised, but I'm sure she'll even cry about this and when she gets out after 2 hours of serving she'll do the talk show circuits and talk about how hard it was."

So true. She'll def be on "the View", "Regis and Kelly", and mabes "Ellen" if she's lucky. I don't really see them having an interesting conversation though. Oh well, if all else fails, she can just let her boob pop out like Cameron Diaz did on "Ellen." That'll give them something to talk about, besides how hard jail was.
