Nicole Richie has been a “diehard fan” of the 1991 cult comedy “Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead” for as long as she can remember.
“I’ve been quoting this movie my whole life,” she says.
And now, life has come full circle because the former “Simple Life” reality television icon stars in director Wade Allain-Marcus’ “Don’t Tell Mom” remake as fashion company boss Rose.
The new film stars Simone Joy Jones as Tanya, a 17-year-old whose summer plans are upended when her mom (“Ms. Pat” star Patricia Williams) checks herself into a health retreat.

A post shared by Nicole Richie (@nicolerichie) on Dec 4, 2017 at 3:25am Pst Nicole Richie is a fashion designer, a wife to Joel Madden, and a mom to son Sparrow and daughter Harlow, but on top of it all, she's also a full-time stand-up comedian. On Monday, the 36-year-old proved that no one is safe from being the butt of her jokes when she posted a hilarious Instagram video of her and her parents, Lionel and Brenda Richie (who divorced in 1993), at the Kennedy Center Honors. "The last time I was on a trip with both of my parents, they were married & I was 9," she captioned it. "But we're back, & so far it's pretty chill." And that's not even the best part. In the clip, Nicole asks her parents if they're going to "hook up tonight," and honestly, Lionel's reaction has us cry-laughing. Congratulations dad on your #KennedyCenterHonor. ♥️ I never...
