Nicole Richie to Act and Produce in New ABC Sitcom

Nicole Richie just can’t seem to find enough to do. The former Simple Life star, 28,  is already writing her second novel, debuting a clothing line and shoe line, being a mother to her two children, recovering from pneumonia- and now will be headlining a half hour sitcom to premier on ABC. Usmagazine reports that the show is in development and will center on a ‘professional woman with complicated family relationships who is struggling to figure out what role she’ll take as her life and her family evolve.’ Variety reports that the pilot will loosely follow the reality star’s own life. Richie herself came up with the idea and will produce as well.
