It would be really easy to see these pictures of Nicole Richie having a quick tete-a-tete with a Porsche-driving pal in the middle of a curiously quiet street and have less-than-charitable thoughts about what's going on. There are many things Richie and her pal could be doing: discussing the Lakers game, commiserating about Paris Hilton's Sidekick disaster, trying to unravel the mysteries of Lost, whatever. Get your mind out of the gutter.
