Nicole Richie Has Turned Full Circle

Simple Life starhas had a great deal of troubles in the past with alcohol and drugs and it looks like she has grown up and moved on. After giving birth to daughterin January, life has been looking up.

Nicole and boyfriend Good Charlotte band member Joel Madden have stayed focused not only on their daughter but on a charity they formed, Richie-Madden Children's Foundation. The foundation helps young moms get the proper healthcare for themselves and their children.

At a court hearing yesterday for her DUI arrest back in 2006, a judge determined that Nicole is in compliance with her charges. Nicole still attends driving school as one of her sentences. Richie will have to go back to court in February for a progress report to the judge.
