Nicole Richie

Nicole Richie is easy to underestimate, which is precisely why I find her interesting. The word socialite sits in her list of occupations, but she treated celebrity itself as raw material, stepping out of reality-TV caricature and into modeling, acting, and a brand of dry, self-aware comedy that many trained performers cannot fake. Coming out of California's most famous circles, she could have coasted; instead she kept reinventing the terms of her own visibility. I read her as a sharp operator with genuine comic timing, someone who learned early that the joke only hurts you if you are not the one telling it.
