We now pause from our coverage of Lindsay Lohan’s insane bender to bring you other breaking celebrity news from the exciting world of celebrity DUIs.

Nicole Richie will appear in court today and will cop a plea in her DUI case, stemming from her December arrest, and as a result, will do time.

Sources tell TMZ that Nicole Richie will plead either guilty or no contest. Lionel Richie’s daughter will appear before the Court Commissioner, who will sentence her on the spot.

Given that the “actress” is pregnant, and merely screwed up like a moron, rather than showing complete disregard for the law, we don’t expect her to get a harsh sentence.

Sources say Richie, like worthless BFF Paris Hilton, will receive at least five days in jail. By law, anyone with two DUIs must serve at least that.

This DUI conviction will be Nicole Richie’s second, following one a few years prior.

“Wrong way” Richie was arrested on December 11, after she drove the wrong way on a California freeway while high on the weed and Vicodin.

Then again, at least she didn’t try to run people over.
