New Year , new start for Nicole Richie .
Three months before it was formally scheduled to end , a source confirms to E! News that a judge this morning agreed to cut shoet the starlet's planned 18-month probation , citing some very , very good behavior on the newlywed's part .
Now that's a belated Christmas present worth waiting for . But did Nicole get a little extra star treatment , or was the her deal all above board ?
No scandal here ! As months upon months of paparazzi pictures can attest , Richie has been diligently attending her alcohol education program --- even more so since this summer , when her probation was extended for an additional year after her motherhood duties caused her to miss a few classes .
Which seems like even more of a reason why her probation should still be going on , right ? Nope . At the same time it was extended , the judge told Richie that while her probation was scheduled to last through March 2011 , he'd do away with her remaining months if she managed to fulfill her obligations before then . Which she did .
Her ever resourceful attorney Shawn Chapman Holly was in court bright and early this morning seeing to that , submitting proof of Richie's completion of her alcohol-education program , as well as a glowing report from the facility .
Richie's problems with the law stem back to December 2006 , when she was caught driving the wrong way on the freeway and failed a field sobriety test . She was sentenced to spend four days in the slammer , though infamously loggrd just 82 minutes behind bars for the indiscretion .
Just a thought : What a difference a year makes ... Nicole proved you can beat your demons if you want it bad enough .....
