omg, i had no idea! that is truly awful. and to all the people writing stuff like "she should go away/get over herself" etc., you truly have no hearts. this post is not about hating on a celebrity or even having an opinion on nicole richie, it's about acknowledging that people are getting seriously hurt and/or killed when we go out and spend money on fancy gadgets.
i agree with others though, stop calling every woman a bitch, we don't call you a fag. it's unacceptable, really.
