2 Nicole Richie It
2. Nicole Richie. It is hard to believe that such an established celebrity presence as Nicole once got her start on a reality show. Nicole was almost a complete unknown before she appeared on 'The Simple Life' with BFF Paris Hilton, but her humor and fierce style launched her into a true celebrity. How many reality stars do you know can still get tons of paparazzi attention years after their show was canceled?
have to agree with this one. She was just "daughter of Lionel Richie" before , but these days she's really come into her own as a fashion designer :D
