Nicole Richie initially gained notoriety when she appeared on the reality show The Simple Life opposite fellow socialite and then-BFF Paris Hilton. Richie retreated from the limelight in the latter stages of her career, but has had an incredible transformation behind the scenes. Here's a peek. As a celebrity kid, Nicole Richie's childhood was far from typical, but to her it was pretty normal. She told The Telegraph: "My childhood was my childhood. I don't have another one to compare it to." Initially fostered by Lionel Richie and Brenda Harvey, Nicole Richie was formally adopted by the couple at age nine. Her biological parents worked with the singer but were, quote, "unable to support her." Lionel Richie toured a lot when Nicole was young but even though the "Hello" hitmaker expresses guilt over being an absent father, she doesn't blame him. She stated: "Looking back, I think I had a wonderful childhood." As for those early red carpet exposures, in which the little girl would often be dressed identically to her mother, Richie cringes at the memories, embarrassed that the photos will live on forever.
