Nicole Richie’s lawyer forced yet another delay in court Tuesday of her pending DUI trial.

“The trial will not happen (Wednesday)” as scheduled, said Jane Robison, spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office. “Richie’s attorney filed a motion … stating that their key witness, a drug expert, was unavailable for trial.”

Although Los Angeles County Commissioner Steven Lubell denied Richie’s attorney’s request for a new trial start date of Aug. 5, he ordered both sides to court Wednesday to argue over why the trial should be postponed again. Regardless of the outcome, the hearing postpones the trial at least a day, Robison says.

Richie does not have to attend the trial. She has reportedly traveled to Canada to watch boyfriend Joel Madden’s band Good Charlotte peform Tuesday night in Calgary.

Richie’s lawyer did not respond to requests for comment.

After several weeks of Nicole Richie hiding her stomach from photographers, the is-she-or-isn’t-she-rumors can be put to rest: Us has confirmed via multiple sources that Richie is more than 12 weeks pregnant with her and boyfriend Joel Madden’s first child.

“She is extremely excited right now,” a source close to the star tells Us.

Richie, 25, shared the good news with her mom Brenda, and close friends like Mischa Barton, in early May, adds the Richie pal, after a pregnancy test came up positive.

And the pregnancy isn’t the only cause for celebration.

A source says Madden, 28, along with a few friends and his twin brother Benji, recently went shopping for an engagement ring.

And the twins’ older brother Josh Madden tells Us, “Nicole is awesome. I would love for them to get married!”

Both families are thrilled about the couple’s baby joy: “Everyone’s happy, everyone’s good, everyone’s getting along” a source tells Us.

But Nicole can’t hide her bump forever. The Simple Life star is due in court on July 11 to answer DUI charges stemming from her December 2006 arrest. If found guilty, she faces 90 days to one year in jail because of a previous DUI conviction in 2003.

Joel Madden not only picked up girlfriend Nicole Richie from a Studio City, Calif., nail salon, but carried her sandals after her mani-pedi appointment on Monday.

Meanwhile, sources close to Nicole are telling all the weeklies that she is “definitely 100% pregnant”.

Nicole held on to her big fluffy pillow as she arrived at LAX a few days ago. Nicole looked really tired and hid her face behind the pillow a few times.
