Socialite Nicole Richie – who starred in hit reality show ‘The Simple Life’ with Paris Hilton – has teamed up with ABC to create and star in a new comedy show.“I am so excited to announce that I am officially working on a television project," Nicole said on her website. "I am creating a half hour scripted comedy for ABC in which I will be starring in, as well as producing.”
“The comedy revolves around a young, modern and professional woman who must balance her business and family relationships. She must deal with, and navigate, the many ideas of what a woman’s role is: modern vs. traditional.”
Nicole recently announced she was putting herself on bedrest after being hospitalised with pneumonia, but she admits she has been inspired by women from all different walks of life for the show.
“Lately, I have been surrounded by many different women of all ages and walks of life," she said. "It amazes me to watch and observe how many different ideas there are about what a woman’s role should be in this era. I’ve taken these fascinating ideas, and compiled them into something that I think will be very special and funny! We’re still in the very early stages and I can’t wait to share more with you soon!”
