TMZ is reporting that Nicole Richie could end up doing a bid.

TMZ has found court documents which reveal that Richie pled no contest four years ago to driving under the influence. Under California law, if Richie is convicted of DUI as a result of Monday’s arrest, the judge must impose a jail sentence.

The law requires a mandatory sentence of five consecutive days in county jail as well as a one year license suspension for anyone twice-convicted of DUI. In addition, Richie would be ordered to attend an alcohol education program for a year-and-a-half, even if the second conviction is not alcohol-related.

Well, even if she did go to prison, it’s not like they could keep her in there. This ho weighs 85 lbs. She can slip through bars. They’ll have to put her in one of those Hannibal Lecter-type plastic dungeons with the sliding food tray so Paris can provide her with a couple of pieces of steamed broccoli she can yak up later and the latest Elle.

That’s Nicole hiding underneath the brown blanket.
