Hoping to distract us from that other troubled star, Nicole Richie has finally agreed to do a sit-down interview with ABC’s Diane Sawyer. 

Diane will of course be speaking to the waif about her August 16th court appearance.  (Nicole, 25, is scheduled to face a DUI charge).  It is also expected that Nicole will finally address the rumors of her pregnancy.  My question is:  Did she get knocked up on purpose thinking this will keep her from the slammer?

The segments will air next week on Good Morning America (Aug. 2nd, 3rd) and 20/20 (Aug. 3rd).
