This is going to be terrible

Nicole Richie might get a talk show

Apparently Nicole Richie is working on a pilot for a new daily talk show. Finally. From In Touch Weekly:

"Nicole loves the idea of hosting her own show," a friend says. "She sees herself as the next Oprah."

And The View’s TV host Elisabeth Hasselbeck thinks she has what it takes! “I think she’s lovely. I think she’s the most wonderful woman,” Elisabeth told In Touch at the More and Fitness Magazine Half-Marathon on April 3. “I have a feeling she can do anything.”

Nicole’s pal adds that the concept of the talk show will include segments on fashion, celebrity guests and parenting tips, in addition to helping people improve their lives. "Nicole went from being a heroin addict to a happily married wife, mother and successful businesswoman," her friend says. "She'll share her own struggles and victories in hopes of helping others."

That's what housewives want to watch -- a rich, spoiled, recovering drug addict giving them advice about life and telling them about her favorite things. Yeah, I can see most American women relating to that. What Nicole really needs to do is speak in front of a group of people that might actually identify with her more. Like at an AA meeting or methadone clinic.
