Finally it looks as though at least one of Hollywood’s starlets gone bad has now made good!

After announcing to the world last year that Nichole Richie and her partner, Joel Madden were expecting their first baby, Nichole certainly got her life back on track.

Unlike so many young celebrities, Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Mischa Barton and Lindsay Lohan, it appears Nicole took a long cold look at where her life was heading and pulled herself back from the brink.

Now, with all that hard work done Richie is preparing to reap the rewards of her disciplined change in life style and has landed the role of Roxie Hart in the Broadway production of Chicago in what will be her first post-pregnancy role.

Following in the footsteps of Ashlee Simpson, Brooke Shields and Renee Zellweger, Nicole is set to become the next big name to play the role.

Although Nicole and Joel, along with baby Harlow, born in January this year, are based in Los Angeles, she is considering relocating the family to New York, an insider tells American magazine Us Weekly.
