Being Nicole Richie's Lawyer Sucks. Plus, Is She REALLY Pregnant?
There is nothing a lawyer hates more than being at the court's mercy. It usually happens when you have failed to do something correctly on a motion and the judge treats you like an idiot in front of your fellow members of the bar. It sucks, BUT, it also happens to everyone so no one laughs at you or thinks less of you unless it happens everyday.
What really sucks is going to the court and asking for a favor which you know shouldn't be granted, won't be granted and you would never have ask to be granted if it wasn't for your wretched little client who may or may not be pregnant. Is everyone really and truly convinced she's pregnant or is she just saying it? Where are all those CDAN skeptics? Is a miscarriage possible immediately after trial?
Nicole: I'm going to Canada to watch my bf play a gig
Lawyer: Ummm. You have a trial that starts Wednesday.
Nicole: I'm not going to make it. Can't you get it postponed or something? Tell them I have morning sickness.
Lawyer: I'll see what I can do. I didn't know you were pregnant.
Nicole: I don't know if I am either but everyone thinks I am and maybe it will buy me some sympathy. If I have to go to court tomorrow they will take away my pillow and everyone will see that I just weigh 70 pounds and that my belly bump is there because I ate an Almond Joy and it got stuck.
So then the lawyer has to go and say his expert is unavailable until August 5th. There is no way on this earth that her lawyer wouldn't know that way in advance. You don't schedule an expert the day before a trial.
Lawyer: Hey expert, I need you at a trial in two days. Same stuff. Drugs, drinking, bad combination not her fault.
Expert: I'm booked solid for the next six months.
Lawyer: Oh. Well let me see if I can get a continuance.
It just doesn't work that way. I would love to see the transcript of what was actually said in court and how Nicole's lawyer phrased the whole continuance thing. My guess is he said something like this.
Lawyer: Your honor, we would request a continuance. Our expert is ready for tomorrow your honor but has not really had a chance to review all the records in as much detail as he would like. He has a trial scheduled for the next few weeks and so the soonest he will have a chance to review all of the records and documents and be ready for trial is about August 5th.
The other thing I find fascinating about all this is that the State went along with Nicole's lawyer I guess. I don't see any statements from them expressing outrage about the continuance. The easiest way to get a continuance is to have the two sides agree to one, BUT the judge doesn't have to agree even if the two sides do.
I'm guessing you will see Nicole's happy face tomorrow in court.
It is absolutely amazing to me that these young women celebutards are so stupid and self-absorbed. Did this twit learn NOTHING from the recent experience of her Frenemy the Parasite? Does she not realize that her heading out of the country to a concert rather than appear in court is probably not going to impress the judge?
ReplyDeleteShe is out of her freaking mind - what on earth would have possessed her to leave for CAD with a trial starting tomorrow? Did she forget? And it's not even like she went to San Francisco or Vegas or something like that, she fled the country!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I'm with Ent on this one - she's playing the whole pregnancy angle. Don't care what US weekly says :-)
Well it'll be interesting when she serves her 5 days. I hope we can see a photo crying in the back of the popo car like her bestest friend. And Cali girl, I read the Us weekly and I'm not convinced either. All PR.
ReplyDeleteAgree with you Kelly. Seriously these girls are stuck in adolescent growth period, all hormones no logic.
What a little snot.
ReplyDeleteEnty: This is for you....
ReplyDeleteI TOLD YOU SO!I TOLD YOU SO!
hi everybody :)
x17 just posted this though...
ReplyDeleteHmm...I wonder where the idea for a continuance came from?
Looks like the Summer of Screwed Starlets isn't set to let up anytime soon - we've learned that Nicole Richie won't be given a continuance on her looming court date for her DUI!
The starlet's lawyer had filed to push the diminutive diva's day in court back until early August (this coming just a few weeks after having it pushed back to the current date), but a clerk for the court confirmed that Richie has instead been offered a plea bargain, which she's got 24 hours to accept!
Originally, this caused a stir given Richie's current out-of-the-country status (she's in Canada for Joel's concert), but the clerk made sure to state that she would NOT have to be present for the hearing (scheduled for tomorrow at 8:30 AM), contrary to what other websites are reporting. At tomorrow's hearing, she'll either be sentenced or a trial date will be set. We'll be sure to bring you updates as we get 'em, so stay tuned!

Enty: This is for you....
ReplyDeleteI TOLD YOU SO!I TOLD YOU SO! NOT PREGGERS!
hi everybody :)
I don't think she's preggo. Saying an anorexic girl looks pregnant must be killing her, that;s why she's been hiding herself.
ReplyDeletetrixi
it's not ent,anymore.
ReplyDeleteb :)
ReplyDeleteHe probably couldn't take all the whiny peeps. You can't be everything to everybody. Ask Madonna. :)
But he prob passed it off and washed his hands of this blog. I don't blame him, he got torn a new one almost every day.
All I can say is wow. I hope the judge/court puts her in her place. I would never even dare think of not showing up to court. Of course, I wouldn't be driving the wrong way down a freeway and on drugs but, IF I was, I'd get my happy ass to court. I'm so amazed at this completely different world these people are in, no sense of respect, responsibility for your actions, nothing, nada, nyet.
ReplyDeleteya,but it sucks. :(
ReplyDeleteI knew when he didn't email me back last week.
I agree...Ent passed this onto someone else....and I am sad.
ReplyDeleteDo you hear us CDAN writers?
ReplyDeleteEnt that wasn't nice. You should of told us you were leaving.
I wouldn't be surprised if she isn't pregnant.
ReplyDeleteIn fact, I recently thought to myself "Self, perhaps this baby rumor might be for the sympathy vote. Everyone says she's pregnant, and she goes along with it until suddenly *DUN DUN DUUUN* the stress of the trial causes her to "lose the baby"... *GASP* Then she gets cut some slack because that's just ever so "awful" and alls well that ends well for her..."
I know I'd do it if I thought it would keep me outta jail and I was in her place. Just a thought.
Ent: you abandoned us.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand, what's going on w/ ENT?
ReplyDeleteI'm with all of you - no longer Ent. - the blog was handed off long ago. The analysis of the court proceedings is not what any lawyer would write.
ReplyDeleteb:) - you've been a loyal and cheerful fan!!
I'm an atty in Texas not Calif so maybe I'm wrong, but why would the client need to be there for a motions hearing?
ReplyDelete5:34 thank you- xxoo
ReplyDeleteI am so sad.I'm sure 100's are as well.
WOW, B:), for such a devoted fan for so long, you sure are quick to cast Ent aside. Think about it - his writing is really no different than it's been for the last 3-6 months at least, when you apparently have been emailing him. He doesn't answer an email last week to you, and he's snarky/catty like usual today, and you and others are concluding somehow that he's handed it off and left without telling you?
ReplyDeleteWhen, exactly? After the DS update last Fri., when he said he was driving her around and showed us his photos? Or after the reveals? You knew when he didn't email you back last week, you say? Hmmm.
HEZ! BrendaLove! Pinky? It's time to attack! Someone is trying to say Ent isn't Ent anymore, and someone else said he isn't a lawyer! It's gaining steam, you've got to beat the uprising down like you've done so successfully in the past! You've "ripped a new one" in plenty a commenter saying exactly the same thing, so what is different now?!
Wait. This is my moment. I am sulking!
ReplyDeleteYeah,this wouldn't have anything to do with Hez's new blind site secret plans, would it?
ReplyDeletePeople sure do seem to be knockin on this site a lot (bad reveals, Ds, so on). May be the bloggers are scheming for a way out.
toni: you think enty got a better blogging job?
ReplyDeleteb :)
ReplyDeleteLOL - are you trying to become a target? seems a right of passage sometimes on this site doesn't it? You go! Flame on!
Oh, poor b:)! It's not healthy to be so invested in a gossip blog site!
ReplyDeleteTell you what: Why don't you contact Hez, on the message board, and ask her to contact Ent to check if he's ok.? She has contact with him through various media, I've heard, which I assume means the phone, even! She could call him and ask, or at least write him. He will tell her - she's his biggest fan and the moderator of his board. Then she can post something here or on the board, reassuring you (and Tracee, and TS, and those other anons). (You shouldn't be so clingy that an unanswered email frightens you that someone has left - do you have abandonment issues?)
Or you know what? Wait until his thingy where he's having people write about him, or whatever he said. You'll feel better then. In the meantime, I'm sure Hez will be popping up any second now (I swear she is so attuned to responding to these kinds of things, clearing them up on behalf of Ent or yelling at someone who insults him). She'll tell you that Ent didn't leave you and this site. Try to have a good night!
LOL,feel better now?
ReplyDeleteI have noticed that Hez is posting on the message board like someone possessed - about her secret blind item plans - it's weird. Nobody who is simply a fan would go to such lengths. Take a quick look at the message board and see how many threads were started by Hez or how many have a most recent post by Hez. It's odd. But Hez denies any role as a writer on this site. I don't buy it. In my view, it is an effort by one of the authors of the blog to generate interest in the blog when the site is losing all credibility. By and large, the number of comments has decreased significantly, except when the issue of the credibility of the blog comes up, and most of those comments are from those who doubt.
ReplyDeleteAnd to the anon blogger calling on Hez and others to "attack" - that mindset has really been the undoing of this site.
It's over, Hez and others - time to pack the tent. It was a fun ride for you, but it's over.
b:) - No, but maybe he got a lawyer job. Those take a lot of time, b:), there's not always a lot of free time to giggle around about this kind of stuff. Pay is a hell of a lot better, I would guess!
ReplyDeleteYour writing style is very consist.
ReplyDelete;)
enty: did you read what the new writers wrote about hillary swank?! I bet you are livid.
Ya,especially since he didn't accept advert. $$.
ReplyDeleteI think it changed over shortly after enty posted a pic of mimi and brian glazer.he made a comment about a little butt kissing never hurt.
Is anyone else over the infighting in the comments or is that just me???
ReplyDeleteIn other news...Britney is on the verge of trying to commit suicide AGAIN....whatta shame!
ReplyDeleteb:)
ReplyDeleteWhen did you send me an e-mail and about what?
enty :)
ReplyDeletei sent email about they needed someone for a uk show feat. David Walliams.Then another email to a diff. addy.
xxxxxooooo
"ent lawyer" - Please.
ReplyDeleteIf b:) had sent emails in the past and you had responded, as she said you had (not just the one you pretend to not have received), you would have her email address and would not have to post in the comments section. You would have emailed her directly. This is so lame and clearly designed to try to boost the waning credibility of this site. Give me a break.
b :) - don't buy into this! Don't drink the kool-aid!
b:)
ReplyDeleteI don't see anything about David Williams and haven't used the other addy in awhile. Send me the e-mail again. You know I always answer my e-mails. It may take awhile, but I always answer.
See there, b:)! It worked out OK! Damn, that Ent - reliable if nothing else!
ReplyDeleteENT:
ReplyDeleteCLUES ABOUT HER STRATEGY ARE GATHERING:
tmz says her "necessary" drug expert is going to challenge - specifically - the drug recognition cops did.
add to this her statement to police that she had taken vicodin (which is crap since a "recovering" heroin addict wouldn't get a buzz OR pain relief from such a weak opiate.)
not to sound like a smart ass but i saw this coming a mile away.
when she was stopped by the cops she knew she was in trouble and about to be drug tested - she needed a story. junkies ALWAYS have stories: hers was pot and vicodin.
as an experienced opiate user, she knew that if they did a standard 5 panel drug test she'd test positive for an opiate - but she also knew that the standard test couldn't say WHICH opiate.
vicodin, heroin etc - they all turn to morphine in the brain.
BITCH IS STILL ON THE HORSE/ HEROIN (AND ENOUGH COCAINE TO KILL A VILLAGE) - and she told the cops it was vicodin because, if that was true her only crime would be that she had taken a controlled substance without prescription.
She's going to say it wasn't heroin in her blood - it was vicodin.
Once again proving that she is a totally petulant child who wouldn't know taking responsibility for her actions if she shot it from a syringe into her junkie arm.
Jeez B :) - If you email me and I dont respond does that mean I'm not really here too?????
ReplyDeleteI'm a huge fan of the blog but i must admit that the new snarky EL is definitely a departure from the dry cynical EL I am used to.
ReplyDeleteI giggled, but what is going on? The optimist in me thinks that maybe EL has just adopted a more informal style...
Hi 2:53
ReplyDeleteI guess you wanted my attention.
Hugs and I would miss you too.
Nicole is still in Canada and does not have to appear in court because it's a misdemeanor charge.
ReplyDeleteatty in TX & judge judy, you're right. The person who posted this is NOT a lawyer, didn't have access to X17's info before they posted and hence another credibility problem. The whole post has a desperate tone of someone trying to get into "character" as a lawyer and it just doesn't work.
ReplyDeleteNo B :), I just wanted to make sure I exist as the rules of existence seemed to have changed - but thanks for acknowledging me - I feel ALIVE ~ ALIVE I tell you .
ReplyDelete7:52..Thanks for making my day start with a smile...you are funny!
ReplyDeleteand now you both don't exist!
ReplyDeleteexcept the stink you left in your wake :>
This blog does not allow anonymous comments.
ReplyDeleteHA! Bye, suckas! Today is a good day.
I've been asking Ent to do this for months - don't you think if this WERE my blog, I'd have kicked your bitch asses to the curb long ago?
Have fun trolling over at Perez! I can guarantee you'll never see me there.
