Nicole Richie appeared in court today to face charges for her wrong-way DUI bust in December — her second DUI conviction in 4 years. A court commissioner sentenced Richie, represented by lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley, to serve four days in the City or County Jail (her choice!) — she got credit for a fifth day, for the six hours she served after being busted.
Richie was also fined $2,048, was ordered back to school for 21 days to an alcohol education course and on three years probation.
Richie must report to serve her time by September 28.
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.
A source close to Richie said at today’s sentencing she was “stoic and serious, but not emotional.”

Lindsay Lohan was cited for investigation of driving under the influence Saturday and was slightly injured when her Mercedes struck a curb, police told the Associated Press.
Lohan, 20, and two other people were in her 2005 Mercedes SL-65 when it crashed on Sunset Boulevard around 5:30 am on Saturday, Sgt Mike Foxen said. It appeared Lohan was speeding, Lt Mitch McCann said at an afternoon news conference.
Officers at the scene found a “usable amount” of a drug tentatively identified as cocaine, McCann said. He declined to say where the drug was found other than to say Lohan was not carrying it.
No one else was hurt and no other cars were involved, Foxen said. He did not have other details. Officers went to the scene after receiving a 911 call about the accident, Foxen said. He went on to say that Lohan will have to appear in court to answer the citation.
Wow this girl is OUT OF CONTROL! She may not make it to her big 21st birthday in Las Vegas. She needs more rehab and a good California DUI Lawyer!
