Paris Hilton has told People magazine that she’s super excited for Nicole Richie’s baby, and that “’I know she’s going to be the best mom ever.’” The two seem to have such an odd relationship: they’re sort of friends after not speaking for two years, but you rarely see them out together. Supposedly their rift was caused when Richie played Hilton’s sex tape to a bunch of their friends at a party. Paris seems to have the reputation as being the bigger idiot, but Nicole is supposedly a lot meaner. It’s really scary that’s she going to be a parent.

“’She’s really happy,’ Hilton, 26, told PEOPLE about her Simple Life costar at Wednesday’s Helio Ocean launch party in West Hollywood, to benefit Heal the Bay. ‘I just got off the phone with her. She’s so excited.’

”Adds the hotel heiress, ‘I know she’s going to be the best mom ever.’

”In a series of ABC interviews last week, Richie, 25, told Diane Sawyer that she is four months pregnant with musician boyfriend Joel Madden, 28.

”’They’re really in love,’ Hilton says of the expectant parents.

”Not that all is hearts and flowers for the mom-to-be.

”Due to serve four days in a L.A. County jail, for a second DUI conviction (she must put in her time before Sept. 28), Richie will likely be kept at Lynwood, Calif.’s Century Regional Detention Center – the same lockup where Hilton spent 23 days earlier this summer.”

I’m pretty sure Paris Hilton’s definition of being a good mom is buying your daughter too many tiny dogs, lots of animal print clothing, and colored contacts. How in the world is Nicole Richie possibly going to be a good mom? She has alcohol and drug issues and an eating disorder, though she can argue about it all she wants. All three seem to be mostly unchecked. Maybe (and this is my innocent, naive thought for the day) being pregnant will make her take better care of herself. I know a few women who said they never ate better than when they were pregnant, so here’s hoping. I just keep thinking about watching her on the “Simple Life” and the way she would ask inappropriate questions to kids to make them squirm. And now she’s going to have one around 24/7. I really hope she hires a herd of nannies. One to take care of the kid, one to make sure it doesn’t pick up on Nicole’s bad habits, and one to keep Nicole away from the kid altogether.
