Conviction Keeps Nicole Out of Canada
Nicole Richie’s conviction prevents her from travelling with her fiance, Joel Madden, and his band Good Charlotte in Canada. An article on this follows:
Rocker Joel Madden is in Canada without his pregnant girlfriend and rumoured fiancee, Nicole Richie, because a recent impaired-driving conviction is keeping Richie, 25, in the United States.
The Good Charlotte singer flew from Washington to Montreal on Saturday for a concert at the Bell Centre while Richie caught a flight home to Los Angeles.
Last month, Richie, star of the Simple Life, pleaded guilty to driving under the influence of marijuana and Vicodin and was sentenced to four days in prison. She must serve her time before the end of September. Richie was also fined, placed on three years probation and ordered to join a drug and alcohol program.
It is not known if her sentence prevents her from leaving the U.S. but Canada Customs has the right to refuse entry to anyone with a DUI conviction. Richie is more than four months pregnant and rumours are swirling that she and Madden are engaged.
Madden’s brother and band mate, Benji, brought his fiancee, actress Sophie Monk, to Canada.
On the weekend, a Virginia radio host told People magazine that when he congratulated Madden on his engagement, the singer replied: “Thank you so much.”
Good Charlotte performs as the opening act for Justin Timberlake in Toronto on Tuesday, and then heads west to Winnipeg for two weekend concerts and a show in Edmonton next week.
