Alleged Mexican Nicole Richie has apparently been offered the role of Roxie Hart in the musical-dancing-murdering-whorefest that is Chicago:

“She’s definitely interested and weighing it out with the timing of the baby,” a Richie pal tells Us. “It is in the super early stages of discussions and no decision has been made yet.”

“It would give her a reason to really show her talent and to stay in the new place in NY Joel just got,” the source says. “It also shows people are really excited about Nicole right now.”

Yes, reality TV showed but a brief sliver of the enormous talent had by Miss Richie.

“You have to be able to act, dance and sing,” Robert Viagas, founder of Playbill.com tells Us. “And if you’re able to pull off all three, the entertainment world notices.”

Or have a famous name? Anyway, we predict Nicole will hit Broadway so hard, she might as well have been driving on the wrong side of the street while high.
