Nicole Richie set to break her silence

Nicole Richie is all set to break her silence on a series of TV shows that will run a three-segment interview with the socialite.

The programme will be aired beginning on Aug 2nd and 3rd, followed by 20/20.

Richie will talk to Diane Sawyer about her imminent 90-day jail term for a 2006 DUI case and her baby bump, which she and her beau Joel Madden have not discussed so far.

Richie, who is a repeat offender, is due to appear in court on August 16, reports Us Magazine. com.

The 25-year-old suddenly seems to have switched to low profile, for she has been spotted dining at less-glamorous Chili's in upstate New York.

Richie was also spotted slumping in her car near a few suburban malls, where Madden was performing.
