"Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous"

Soon-to-be-jailed celebrity socialite Nicole Richie said she is pregnant by her boyfriend, singer Joel Madden of the rock band Good Charlotte.

"We are. I'm almost four months," said Richie, 25, in an interview with ABC's Diane Sawyer that will air Thursday.

Richie was stopped in December when police said she was seen driving the wrong way on a Los Angeles freeway. Officers said she failed a field sobriety test and admitted she had smoked marijuana and taken prescription painkiller Vicodin.

The waif-like daughter of singer Lionel Richie pleaded guilty Friday to driving under the influence of drugs and was sentenced to four days in jail. She has been ordered to serve her time by September 28 and put on three years probation.

Richie rose to fame as hotel heiress Paris Hilton's co-star on the reality series "The Simple Life." Hilton spent three weeks behind bars in June for violating her probation in a drunken-driving case.
