Filed under: Rihanna > Nicole Richie > Music Minute > Kelly Osbourne

We're cautiously optimistic about this music news.

Nicole Richie, daughter of hitmaker Lionel, is working on an album and getting help from friends Rihanna and Kelly Osbourne, according to the NY Daily News.

Everything Princess RiRi touches is gold.

You tapped into a good person, Nic.

Let's also hope some of her dad's music genius has rubbed off on her!

    This could be good



  2. 2

    Uh, her bf is Joel Madden Perez! Ever think he might help a lil? Kind of like how he did with Hilary Duff. But Nic won't be as successful as her. This is going to be playaround music. Ringtone crap. Mall sh*t. Next..



  3. 3

    Ew, Kelly Osbourne? Yea she sure had talent…..



  4. 4

    All $$$$$$
    No Substance.

    blah music.



  5. 5

    I wish i could be friends with her
    she seems so cool.



  6. 6

    Who is a better "singer"–Nicole or Paris? Can Nicole actually sing? We know Paris can't.



  7. 7

    I heard Nicole sing once on some TV show and then she did a remake of that song "Dandelion" by some group I don't remember…she was actually pretty good!



  8. 8

    I cant wait… i lovvvvvvvvve her



  9. 9

    Orchidgirl are u allright.You sound a little down.I think I'll choose the rice dish.



  10. 10

    Im sure it will be a classic



  11. 11

    Can't wait for that POS to drop.



  12. 12

    I am a bit more than cautiously optimistic. This girl had a lot of musical training, she plays several instruments and knows what music is, unlike her former BF.



  13. 13

    She's been saying that shit for years.



  14. 14

    considering her boyfriend is successful..
    i guess this could be pretty good.
    and if rihanna is helping out then it could be amazing.
    i guess we'll soon see.



  15. 15

    Hervoice really isn't bad so I'm curious as to what she has to say.



  16. 16

    No!!!!!! My poor ears! why do celebrities feel the need to mingle in EVERYTHING???? they act,have perfumes,sing, dance, become humanitarians WTF?!!?!! just stick with what you became famous for and get over it if you become a washed out has been



  17. 17

    My god, she's so hideous.



  18. 18

    I love her song "Dandelion"
    it's a pretty song, u should listen to it. she also has a nice voice

  19. DALE says – reply to this

    "Riri" doesn't write her own music, it should be everything that l.a. reid touches turns to gold he's the one that scouts songwriters/songs that sound like hits. With today's studio technology even britney, hillary duff and lindsey lohan can be made to sound listenable.

    Re: danni-x – You mean joel madden? Do people buy good charlotte albums anymore? maybe if it was 2004.



  21. 21

    she sang that dandelion song and that was great… but havn't they been saying this since season 1 of simple life



  22. 22

    Let's see what she has! She just make make it.



  23. 23

    THIS BITCH NEEDS TO EAT SOME SHRIMP AND WHITE WINE

  24. cboy says – reply to this


    24

    LMAO! What a JOKE! Rihanna! Please someone needs to get her a coach quick! Now Beyonce Alicia Keys Mary J Xtina Leona Mariah you know actually VOCALIST to help you! If thats the case she could have ran to Britney and Ciara for tips!



  25. 25

    Well she's been talking about an album for years now and so far haven't heard a single song from her… anyways if she has 1/4 of her dad's talent then it should be a pretty decent record…. but Kelly Osbourne??? mmm not so sure about that one



  26. 26

    Ok, but here's the thing…please do not reference Lionel Richie AT ALL when it comes to speculating how she will do…she's ADOPTED!

  27. DaLa says – reply to this


    27

    Must be nice to be a complete Eff up who's never had to work for anything and still gets a TV show and a record deal. Real musicians who've hustled for years just to get a foot in the door should be rightfully pissed that this junkie waste case might be handed the opportunities they've busted their butts for. F-ed up world.



  28. 28

    Nicole Richie ? Unless her dad's music genius robbed off on her and Rihanna sprinkles fairy dust on her, then she wont sound good.



  29. 29

    SHE LOOKS FAT!!!!



  30. 30

    Re: sheba08 – WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN? "MAKE MAKE IT"? DUH!!! TAKE ANOTHER PROZAC, SHEBA. CONCENTRATE WHEN YOU TYPE, DAMNIT!!!



  31. 31

    Hold on, how can her dad's musical genius rub off on her? There's no biological reason it would. She probs sounds like two cats going at it in an alley



  32. 32

    WHAT HAS THE WHORE DONE TO MAKE YOU ALL CLIMB UP HER ASS? SHE IS JUST A PERSON BORN INTO OPPORTUNITY, AND MONEY, NO MORE TALENTED THAN HER FRIEND PARIS…BOTH USELESS DRUNKEN WHORES..DRAGS THAT POOR BABY OUT FOR MEDIA ATTENTION WHEN SHE FEELS THE NEED…..PATHETIC BOYFRIEND, WHO IS A STAR FUCKER…LOL YOU ARE ALL EASY, AND IF NICOLE IMPRESSES YOU THAN YOUR ALSO PATHETIC…..



  33. 33

    You hope some of her Dad's musical talent rubbed off on her?

    Being that she was adopted by Lionel Richie that would be kind of difficult don't you think?

    You seriously need a fact checker.



  34. 34

    The Impostor who is LettyB you need something because when Letty gets back your arse is hers! I can say what I please. You don't know me. So please STFU! Have a nice evening. Oh, since I NEVER commit to many people
    I just bet you have been waiting for this moment! LOL! I hope I made your day. Bye loser!



  35. 35

    BTW, I support Nicole in this venture! I have all her dad's music on my Ipod!
    Love her clothes. You picked on the wrong girl! Now take your meds and be a good whatever you are. Nighty!



  36. 36

    To the spelling NAZI! She just might make it. Happy now! Good!



  37. 37

    he's NOT really her dad! her "real" dad played in his band and had NO money so lionel and his wife were asked to adopt her! hell fuckin lo! well i'm NOT gonna buy it , let alone download it!



  38. 38

    Re: DaLa – yeah that cmplete bull shit! i bet she won't even write her own songs! sorry but that's NOT a musician!!!!!!!!!



  39. 39


  40. 40

    Umm doesn't everyone know Lionel is not her real father, how the hell can he pass on his genes to her? She isn't going to be able to sing just because he semi raise her.



  41. 41

    Um, what is she wearing?



  42. 42

    Needs to lose about another 80 lbs.



  43. 43

    The headband craze needs to stop. It is not cool.



  44. 44

    I think I just threw up a little!



  45. 45

    Nto sure if everyone knows this but her biological aunt is Sheila E, who had some big hits with Prince back in the 80s.



  46. 46

    why? she was adopted… how could the good genes be passed down? i luv her the way she is… i hope it works for her



  47. 47

    Nicole Richie is the "ADOPTED" daughter of Lionel Richie. Don't try and imply that she has genetic talent just because you want to promote the people who kiss your fat ass out of fear that you will ruin their careers.
    —————————————————–



  48. 48

    Nicole may vary be extremely musically talented. Her birth father is one of the famous Escovedo children (Sheila E., Pete Escovedo, Chip Escovedo) and her mother was a dancer for Prince. She used to be on stage with Prince as a toddler. This is were Lionel and his wife saw her for the 1st time. They were all on tour. She plays about 4 or 5 instruments fluently. That was discovered years ago.



  49. 49

    If RiRi helped her, she'll make it. She is fucked up..look at her eyes.
    Thought she was still on probation, yeah right! Hope she's still not breast feeding.



  50. 50

    Re: Kate27 – you dumb fuck….
    .
    she is adopted…..



  51. 51

    She could get her (real) aunt Sheila E to play on it.



  52. 52

    I heard about this about 2 days ago!!



  53. 53

    the musical genius kelly osbourne?



  54. 54

    Oooooo!!
    She's making an album??
    Well I wish her luck to get on the charts!!



  55. 55

    Her biological father is a famous musician (Peter Michael Escoveda) who also happens to be Sheila E's brother. So she has some good genes for a music career.



  56. 56

    YAYY!!!!! … and shut up bitches, the woman wanted to be a singer long before the simp life days..



  57. 57

    Love kelly osbourne!!!!…. and i liked nicole's old song… dandelion



  58. 58

    Her biological father is a famous musician (Peter Michael Escovedo) who also happens to be Sheila E's brother. So she has some good genes for a music career.



  59. 59

    I've been interested in her making music for some time…this news makes me even more so… :)



  60. 60

    more like everything producers and writers MAKE FOR rihanna turns to gold. that girl's just pretty, sorry…



  61. 61

    Could be interesting….

    I won't judge till I hear a released song. Hopefully it'll go good for her.



  62. 62

    AWESOME! Her song Dandelion was gorgeous, far better than Paris or Hilary (ouch)

    Cannot wait!!



  63. 63

    Re: Hippiechic15 – …. and you are saying Nicole is famous for what exactly



  64. 64

    It's highly unlikely that Lionel's musical genius has rubbed of on her being that she is his adopted daughter.



  65. 65

    hasn't there always been talk that she's puttin out an album???…



  66. 66

    everything rihanna touches is gold cause everything she touches FIRST gets touched by auto-tune before (thank god) it gets to touch your ears!!! rihanna and kelly osbourne…neither should be vocal coaches….if nicole flops…she'll know exactly where to place the blame



  67. 67

    Oh no Paris is going to be so jealous!! I've always loved Nicole, there is something about her. Whereas Paris is just pathetic.



  68. 68

    How would Lionel's musical talent rub off on her considering he's not even his "real" daughter????? :S



  69. 69

    i liked her song dandelion a lot. i think it'll do very well



  70. 70

    Perez, quit being so dumb. Rihanna is NOT a music genius or whatever the fuck you wanna call her. She is NOT in charge of ANYTHING - not the writing, not the production, not even the songs chosen to make the final cuts on her albums! It's all Jay-Z and the producers of her albums!
