POOR LITTLE RICHIE GIRL

Some sympathy please for Nicole Richie. Having given birth to baby daughter Harlow in January, she's finding the going somewhat tougher than expected, something that all new mums can sympathise with, no doubt. It isn't the inadequate child benefit or post-natal depression for Nicole though, it's the fact that she can't go out clubbing as much as she used to, the poor little lamb.

Star Magazine is reporting that she is finding life tough now that she has little chance of being arrested for drink-driving again in the near future...

"Nicole really misses her carefree life. Before Harlow came along, Nicole never had to worry about anything. All she did was party with her friends and go shopping. Now she's totally overwhelmed by her new responsibility, even though she adores her daughter. Nicole still can't figure out if she's happier when she's home with the baby or hitting the town with her friends!"

Damn you, America, for not explaining to her that babies need looking after for a while after they're born. Why wasn't she told? It's not like she can afford a nanny after all, though it is hard to look after a selfish, self-obsessed, whining brat. Ask Lionel Richie.
