Ashlee Simpson could say Nicole Richie is her shining star and her career angel! Lionel Richie's daughter wants to have Jessica Simpson's sister as her co-star for her still-in-development TV show. According to The National Enquirer, quoting a source: "Nicole adores Ashlee, and she truly believes in her talent". Nicole's new show, which hasn't yet a title, will be a scripted half-hour sitcom that presents her as a "professional woman with complicated family relationships".The sitcom's idea came from Nicole and is inspired by her own life.
