Nicole Richie Confirms she is pregnant

Nicole Richie, the girlfriend to Hilary Duff's ex-boyfriend, confirms to ABC News that she is pregnant with the child of her current boyfriend Joel Madden.
Read the news...They are about 4 months along now in the pregnancy.

"Yes I am. We are. I’m almost four months," says Richie in an interview airing on Good Morning America Thursday and on 20/20 Friday (Aug. 2, 3)…

Richie, 25, also tells Sawyer why she pleaded guilty for an arrest stemming from a December 2006 incident in which she was spotted driving the wrong way on the freeway and admitted to police that she’d smoked pot and taken Vicodin before driving.

"I have a responsibility and it’s something that I did wrong," says Richie, "and if I could personally apologize to every single person that has lost a loved one from drunk driving I would. And unfortunately I can’t, but this is my way of paying my dues and taking responsibility and being an adult."

Richie was sentenced to four days in jail and will have to complete three years of probation and pay a $2,048 fine.

Richie, the 25-year-old adopted daughter of Lionel Richie, has been seeing the 28-year-old Madden for more than six months. She had previously dated Canadian music producer and entrepreneur Brad Salyn and was engaged to DJ AM, aka Adam Goldstein. Madden was dating tween queen turned Maxim covergirl Hilary Duff before breaking it off to start dating Richie.

TORONTO, July 27 /CNW/ - The Salvation Army is thrilled to partner with Hilary Duff as she kicks off her Dignity Tour in Winnipeg, MB on July 28, 2007, the first of 12 shows she will play across Canada.

Once again, Hilary is asking her fans to bring canned goods to her concert in support of The Salvation Army and Canadian Harvest. On her past two Canadian tours, Hilary has raised more than 125,000 pounds of food.

"Working with Canadian Harvest is a way for me to give something back to the community," said Hilary Duff. "The past two times I toured Canada, my fans did an amazing job of providing canned goods and I'm certain this time my fans can do even better!"

At each Canadian stop on the Dignity Tour, donations will be collected at the concert gates by The Salvation Army. All of the food will be distributed through The Salvation Army in the communities from which it was collected. Fans are encouraged to bring as much as they can.

"Having enough food to feed your family is a huge concern for many in Canada," says Graham Moore, Territorial Secretary for Public Relations and Development. "We are extremely pleased to be working with Hilary Duff as she encourages her fans to support the vulnerable and marginalized throughout the country."

Hilary Duff is a multi-platinum chart-topping recording artist and concert performer, fashion designer, actress, business woman and philanthropist. She recently released her fourth studio album called Dignity and can also be seen in the upcoming film War, Inc., with John Cusack.

Hilary's 'tween fashion and home line stuff by Hilary Duff is available exclusively at Zellers. Hilary will launch her Canadian tour on July 28, 2007 in Winnipeg and will play shows across Canada, ending in Sault St. Marie on September 11, 2007.

Canadian Harvest and its American counterpart, USA Harvest, began in 1989 as Kentucky Harvest, the brainchild of Stan Curtis. The goal of the organization is to move food from people who have extra to people who have too little. Since 1989, the "food-raisers' have collected 11.6 billion pounds of food for missions, soup kitchens and food banks across North America.

The Salvation Army is an international Christian organization that began its work in Canada in 1882 and has grown to become the largest
non-governmental direct provider of social services in the country. The
Salvation Army gives hope and support to vulnerable people today and everyday in 400 communities across Canada and 111 countries around the world. The Salvation Army offers practical assistance for children and families, often tending to the basic necessities of life, provides shelter for homeless people and rehabilitation for people who have lost control of their lives to an addiction.

When you give to The Salvation Army, you are investing in the future of marginalized and overlooked people in your community.
