Nicole is going to jail!
Just like her "Simple Life" co-star Paris Hilton, a judge sentenced Richie to serve time in County Jail -- but only four days -- she has been credited for six hours of time served. Richie was also fined $2048 and was ordered back to school for 21 days to an alcohol education course.
Richie must report to serve her time by September 28th.
The commissioner issued Richie a stern warning, telling her if she she drove drunk again and she actually killed someone she could be charged with murder -- not manslaughter. That's because after her first DUI, Richie agreed that if she drove under the influence and killed someone, she'd be nailed for murder
The 25-year-old is expected to give birth sometime in January.
Wearing a skimpy black number with bug-eye sunglasses, a stoic but not-pregnant-looking Nicole Richie just arrived to the Glendale, California courthouse, arm-in-arm with future baby daddy Joel Madden, to face a judge on her DUI charge.
