Dancing on the ceiling! Nicole Richie learns how to bust a move in latest web show episode

No doubt her father Lionel would be proud.
For Nicole Richie looked ready to go Dancing On The Ceiling at the end of the latest episode of her web show.
The 31-year-old was taken under the wing of choreographer and dancer Jeri Slaughter at the Millennium Dance Complex in Los Angeles for the eighth episode of her AOL online series Candidly Nicole.

However, it seems the reality star is a little behind the times, as she tells the instructors she loves Janet Jackson and Paula Abdul.
In an attempt to regain some much needed credibility, the multimillionaire added: 'I'm a little too street for Paula Abdul.'
Nicole added: '100 per cent all I wanted to be growing up was a backup dancer.'
Instead her career took a different turn, as she acted as second string to Paris Hilton on their reality show The Simple Life.

 Viewers got to see her attempt to redeem herself, as hard taskmaster Jeri pushed her to the limit during their workout.
At many points Nicole, who boasted of her prowess as a ballerina and figure skater, seemed out on her feet, at one point grunting, 'this is crazy.'
But the mother-of-two stuck with it, and certainly seemed pleased with herself by the time it was all over.
Given her newfound dedication to hard work, she may even be able to secure a backing spot on Lionel's next world tour.
