It was months ago when rumors surfaced that Nicole Richie was pitching a television show to various networks. Nicole Richie's sitcom, staring the malnourished mother of two, has been picked up and will debut on ABC. The show is currently untitled but will be written by 30 Rock writer Daisy Gardner!

Nicole said that she's "so excited" to announce the news and that she'll be starring and producing her sitcom. "The story revolves around a young, modern and professional woman who must balance her business and family relationships. She must deal with, and navigate the many ideas of what a woman's role is: modern vs. traditional.

Richie claims that the women she's been interacting with got her creative juices flowing.

"Lately, I have been surrounded by many different women of all ages and walks of life. It amazes me to watch and observe how many different ideas there are about what a woman's role should be in this era. I've taken these fascinating ideas, and compiled them into something that I think will be very special (and funny!)..."

I don't even recognize Nicole Richie anymore. Remember the days when she was whoring out, partying with Paris Hilton, and getting arrested? Ya gotta love that Paris is too busy servicing men while her former sidekicks, Kim Kardashian and Nicole Richie, moved past the party girl image and continue to outshine her.
