Nicole Richie’s Reps Just Need to Come Out and Announce Pregnancy

Much like Christina Aguilera’s reps.

More and more of Nicole Richie’s pals are whispering to reporters that she is indeed pregnant.

We know, we know…it is a reproductive miracle considering her dangerously skinny condition around the time of the alleged knocking up.

However, according to the New York Post:

NICOLE Richie is being coy on the question of whether she’s pregnant, but a good pal of hers says she’s definitely carrying Joel Madden’s love spawn. "Nicole is kind of hoping her pregnancy will keep her out of jail," the friend said. Richie is facing time due to a DWI arrest earlier this year. But friends are concerned and "wondering if she can carry the baby to term because of her weight issues," we’re told.

Ahhhh….the court date. So let’s mark our calendars. If Nicole really is expecting a visit from the stork, a statement should be released right around sentencing.

Convenient!
