Biography |
 |
|
| |
Nicole Richie was born as Nicole Camille Escovedo, on September 21, 1981 in Berkeley, California, USA. 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. 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. Her godfather is Michael Jackson.
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 ABC's The View playing the piano. She graduated from Montclair College Prep School. She attended The Buckley School with her best friend Paris Hilton.
Richie and Hilton starred in the 2003 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's Mad TV.
At a Los Angeles Lakers game, Richie jokingly mentioned that her favorite player was Kobe Bryant and said "I want to have sex with him." Bryant is married and was about to be tried for rape in Colorado. The charges against Bryant were later dropped.
Following the 2003 Billboard Music Awards, the Federal Communications Commission received 80,000 complaints after Richie said the "F-word" and was not bleeped. This was the FCC complaint record, until it was broken following Janet Jackson's appearance at Super Bowl XXXVIII.
She has been dating club deejay Adam Goldstein for several months, and got engaged to him on her birthday in 2004, though the engagement was not made public until February 2005.
