Nicole Richie Quickly Sprung From Jail
Published: 8/23/07, 9:05 PM EDT

LYNWOOD, Calif. (AP) - Nicole Richie was released from jail Thursday after serving 82 minutes of a four-day sentence for driving under the influence of drugs.

The reality show star, who checked into jail in this Los Angeles suburb at 3:15 p.m., was released at 4:37 p.m. "based on her sentence and federal guidelines," Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputy Maribel Rizo said without elaborating.

When asked whether Richie, who is four months pregnant, spent her brief sentence in a jail cell, Rizo replied: "I have no further comment."

A call to Richie's attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, was not immediately returned Thursday. An e-mail message to her publicist Nicole Perna was not immediately answered.

The brief jail stint took place at the county jail for women, the same place her "The Simple Life" co-star Paris Hilton was housed for nearly three weeks after she was convicted of driving on a suspended license while on probation for an alcohol-related reckless driving case.

12. LA accelerated time. Ever wonder why everyone in LA drives so insanely?

There are no cops watching 90% of the roads and unless you wreck someone else, you won't be spending any time in jail due to underfunding/overcrowding.

10. You're right about that... the thing is, I don't really *care* about them

... but that's just because I don't watch TV very much and really don't give a damn what they do at any given moment.

I think 'celebrity' is more of a downfall than an uplifting experience for way too many of these actors and actresses.

If I want to see them, I'll rent their movies... I don't need to see their DUI arrests or divorces on my TV, anymore so than I need to see my neighbor's DUI arrest or marriage problems, when we have so much more going on that is 10000 times more newsworthy than someone getting arrested for DUI... I don't care *who* they are..

We need Brittney, Lindsey, Paris & Nicole in some type of caged wrestling match. It could be billed as 'Pop Tarts Gone Wild'... or something....
