You know how there are those mothers that sacrifice so much for their kids that they lose a part of themselves? The ones that feel guilty if they do anything nice for themselves or take ten minutes to put on makeup in the morning? Well surprisingly, we don’t need to worry about Nicole Richie being one of those moms. While it turns out the reports of her smoking may or may not have been true (Nicole claims she wasn’t even in New York at the time, but the New York Post is standing by their story. Regardless of what you think of them, I still think the Post is a hell of a lot more reliable than Nicole Richie. Further reports of her not giving a crap about her future child have surfaced.

Nicole Richie has had enough of pregnancy, according to a report in this week’s edition of Star Magazine. The pint-sized mom-to-be, who was accused of recently smoking earlier this week, has been sunbathing, chilling in the jacuzzi, and dying her hair. All of which are major No-No’s for an expectant mother. “Nicole could be doing real damage to the child, without even knowing it,” a friend tells the weekly gossip rag. “She’s being very careless. She just doesn’t want to be pregnant anymore. She’s tired of it. The thrill has definitely worn off.” “Nicole feels like she’s been pregnant for years, not months!”

“Nicole was out sunbathing in Hawaii three days in a row when she was there for her birthday,” Star’s source says. “She also relaxed in the Jacuzzi-another no-no for someone who’s pregnant.” Other Richie insiders claim Nicole was spotted at the Neil George Salon in Beverly Hills getting her hair dyed. “Most hairdressers and doctors tell women not to dye their hair while they are expecting. But Nicole doesn’t seem to think the advice applies to her.”

The Star report also blasts Nicole for allegedly trying to keep her pregnancy weight gain to a minimum: “She’s just not eating enough…. She had body image issues before she was pregnant. She’s tired of her body growing , and she to be done with it all. She figures she’s doing the best she can, and if that isn’t good enough for other people, well, that’s just tough,” Nic’s friend reports. “Nicole is tired of being pregnant. She wants to have a normal body, be able to eat sushi and have a drink without everyone giving a hard time about it.”

Boy that really makes you think of how true that trite phrase “Sometimes your best isn’t good enough” really is. If that’s Nicole Richie’s best, it doesn’t have anything to do with “if it’s not good enough for other people” - it has to do with if it’s not good enough for her baby, and it’s not. I know a lot of commenters will disagree with me, but when I was forced to watch the Simple Life a few times, I found her to be much more obnoxious and rude than Paris Hilton. She’d always say really inappropriate, rude, and sexual things to people to make them uncomfortable, and then laugh at them. I read an article once that talked about her “cutting” humor – and that was the most charitable way I’ve ever heard it. Paris is just too dumb and vapid; Nicole has a little bit of intelligence (little bit, I said little bit) – just enough to know how to truly be mean. She’ll make a great mother.
