Nicole Richie's new television show.

Nicole Richie has inked a talent deal with 20th Century Fox TV. Under the pact, Fox will develop a show around Richie or cast her in a pre-existing project, Variety reports. 20th's president Dana Walden said The Simple Life star has "comedic instincts." Nicole hinted that she'd like to play a character loosely based on herself, similar to Will Smith's turn on The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. "Things are funnier when you base them on your real life, when you make fun of yourself," Richie said. "But it's definitely a sitcom (not a reality show).". . . . . .Source
