Don’t ever say that people can’t change. Once a heroin addicted party girl, Nicole Richie is now a celebrity mommy role model. At least to Kendra Wilkinson. I’m not really sure if that’s a complement to Nic or not. I’m also not sure Kendra could pull off the same metamorphosis that Nicole did. It took rehab, an arrest, a relapse, hundreds of thousands of dollars in stylists and labels and a very grounded man in her life to get Nicole in the right mindset.

“I look up to Nicole,” Kendra says of socialite mom Nicole in the Nov. 2 of In Touch Weekly. “She is the girl that I mostly look up to because she is more like me. She gives me the feeling of, ‘She did it and I can do it.’ She makes me feel good about what she’s accomplished.”

“She went through the same stages in life that I went through. Drugs, alcohol, all of that,” the former Girl Next Door explains. “It just makes me feel so godd to see her go through that and then have two kids and be such a great mom.”
