We haven’t been able to confirm this yet but rumor has it that Nicole Richie is lending her celebrity name to a campaign to save street lights - from the dangers of dog urine.

:::insert look of terror and shock:::

Richie, who has two dogs - Foxxy Brown and Honeychild - has signed up to promote Swedish inventor Lennart Jarrelbro’s latest creation, dog urinals, to stop the metal on the posts being eroded by the chemicals found in canine waste products.

Her take on it?

They’re so clever. It’s a cute rubber cup attached to the post and a hose to pipe the urine into the gutter.”

Update: Just heard back from Nicole’s publicist - this rumor is just that, a RUMOR!
