Nicole Richie Trying to Prove She Really Can Act

Do you remember when Nicole Richie made her network debut on The Simple Life? Back when she had a normal looking body, and skunk-streaked hair? Well, she’s come a long way – she’s got a baby, and a ring, and a famous man by her side. And now, she’s guest starring on NBC’s Chuck.

Yahoo News reports that Nicole “plays the former high school nemesis of resident babe Sarah, played by Yvonne Strahovski. Richie plays a 'snarky and spiteful girl who tortured Sarah,' and something tells me she's gonna so regret that when she sees that Sarah can split hairs with a Ninja knife."

So, I guess we can assume she will really be acting, which might be an improvement on seeing the “real” Nicole on The Simple Life. I am ashamed to admit that I did watch that mindless drivel, and I mourn for the wasted time that I will never get back.

But, I will give Nicole a chance. Being a mom does make you grow up, whether you want to or not, and being selfless enough to nurse your baby does say something about you. Sometimes, people do change, and the rumor that she isn’t talking to copycat Paris Hilton anymore gives me hope.
