'''Nicole Camille Richie''' ({{nee|'''Escovedo'''}}; born September 21, 1981) is an American media personality, fashion designer, and actress. She came to prominence after appearing on the reality television series ''[[The Simple Life]]'' (2003–2007), in which she starred alongside her friend and fellow socialite [[Paris Hilton]]. Richie's personal life attracted media attention during the series' five-year run and thereafter.
 
Following the conclusion of ''The Simple Life'', Richie continued her career in television, appearing as one of the three judges on the reality competition series ''[[Fashion Star]]'' (2012–2013). She later starred in the unscripted comedy series ''[[Candidly Nicole]]'' (2014–2015), which ran for two seasons. From 2017 to 2018, Richie starred in her first series regular acting role as Portia Scott-Griffith in the sitcom ''[[Great News]]''. In 2020, she became a judge on the reality competition series ''[[Making the Cut (2020 TV series)|Making the Cut]]''. In fashion, Richie is the founder of the lifestyle brand [[House of Harlow]]. Richie has also published two novels.
'''Nicole Richie''' (born '''Nicole Camille Escovedo''' on [[September 21]], [[1981]] in [[Berkeley, California]], [[United States|USA]]) is a [[socialite]], best known as the best friend of heiress [[Paris Hilton]].
 
==Early life, family and education==
She is the daughter of Latin percussionist Peter Escovedo III, brother of [[Sheila E]], and a woman identified only as an assistant on [[Lionel Richie]]'s 1980 world tour; Escovedo was a member of Richie's band. Apparently, Nicole's mother was never a factor in her life, and Escovedo raised her alone.
Nicole Camille Escovedo was born in [[Berkeley, California]]. She is of English, Mexican, and [[Louisiana Creole people|Creole]] African-American descent.<ref>"Nicole Richie."

Escovedo took Nicole to Richie's gigs and recording sessions, and she became something of a mascot for the band. Richie was so taken with then 3-year-old Nicole that Escovedo allowed her to live with the singer and his first wife. When Nicole was 9, Escovedo surrendered his paternal rights, and the Richies formally adopted her.
 
Richie graduated from [[Montclair College Preparatory School]] in 1999, then attended the [[University of Arizona]] in [[Tucson, Arizona]], alongside [[Kourtney Kardashian]] and [[Luke Walton]], where she studied Arts and Media. She did not have a definitive study plan in Arizona, dropped out after two years, and returned to California.<ref name=":1" />
Nicole is trained in [[cello]], [[violin]], [[piano]], and [[figure skating]], and has plans to pursue a music career. She made her musical debut in February 2005 with a live appearance on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]]'s ''[[The View]]'' playing the piano. Her godfather is [[Michael Jackson]].
 
==Career==
Richie and Hilton starred in the [[2003 in television|2003]] [[Reality show|reality series]] ''[[The Simple Life]]'', in which they lived for a month with a family in the rural community of [[Altus, Arkansas]]. Later seasons of the show had Richie and Hilton in a roadtrip across the United States, and an East Coast trek on a Greyhound bus while performing various internships. She has also made appearances in films and [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox's]] ''[[Mad TV]]''.
 
===Television===
She has offered no comment on a rumored videotape that surfaced in September 2004 in which her friend Hilton calls two African-American fashion industry professionals "dumb [[Nigger_(word)|nigger]]s".

In 2005, Richie wrote a semi-autobiographical novel, ''[[The Truth About Diamonds]]'', which was released by Bharell Jackson Publishing.
