Nicole Richie : Finally Freed From Long Arm Of Johnny Law 'OMG'

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 .....
