Nicole Richie has landed a television deal at ABC, further solidifying her reputation as the little ex-heroin addict that could. Paris Hilton‘s former sidekick is set to try her hand at prime time television, and is currently developing a single-camera sitcom (shot like “The Office” or “30 Rock”) in which she’ll star as “a professional woman with complicated family relationships and struggling to figure out what role she’ll take as her life and her family evolve.”
Nicole came up with the idea for the show, so she’ll nab a producer credit as well as the starring role. Not bad for a girl who was once best known for her terrible hair extensions. Surely ol’ Paris is jealous of her pal’s success – two kids, a sweet maybe-husband, a jewelry line, a clothing line, a couple of books, a new TV show and an A-List reputation? That’s gotta hurt!
