Nicole Richie: Baby Comes First

Sassy Smith — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 19:06:00 GMT

Nicole Richie has really grown up in the past two years, and particularly since her daughter Harlow Winter Kate was born a year ago. Hard partying is a thing of the past and she puts her role as mom, first.

Richie's partner and father of her daughter, Joel Madden, recently attended the DirecTV Celebrity Beach Bowl and said that Nicole was "at home. She's a mom; she's not really interested in going to any parties. She occasionally goes to parties, but I like football and this is a brother's trip."

How is little Miss Harlow doing?

Proud papa Joel says of his one-year-old princess, "She's great! She's growing fast. She speaks five different languages and she's actually becoming a baby translator. She translates for other babies." Wow, she's a whiz baby!

Sounds like Nicole and Joel and baby are doing fantastic! And Harlow is such a doll!

Uncle Benji Madden is very protective of his almost one-year-old niece, Harlow Winter and is already sending out warnings to potential dates, that he'll be keeping an eye on things. Better watch your step!

Benji, who is the twin brother of Harlow's dad, Joel, tells PEOPLE, "I'm going to be keeping a close eye on her. I'll leave the shotgun right by the door."

Madden says he and Joel are lucky to be twins - "because Joel can be the good guy and I'll be the bad guy."

Uncle Benji says that his brother and Nicole Richie are great parents. "When they had her, their instincts just kind of came out, and it's amazing to see."

He said that the couple put Harlow first.

"Joel is such a great dad and Nicole is the best mom I've ever seen. Joel is all about showing up. His main concern in life is protecting and caring for his family."

Aww, Benji sounds like a great brother and uncle! Little Harlow is a lucky little girl.

A pal says, "Nicole simply told Joel that she wants another baby - right away. He was a little overwhelmed at first, but now he's with her 100 percent. They're both thrilled about adding to their family."

The two went through a bit of a rough patch, but things are good now.

The source adds, "Things are amazing between them. Nicole knows it's because they're both so happy with Harlow, and she truly believes another baby will double their commitment."

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden became parents in January but that doesn't mean the couple have let their relationship go by the wayside. Apparently Nicole is keeping things hot by sending sexy text messages to her man.

A former bodyguard of Nicole's tells Star that the 27-year-old celeb loves sending x-rated text messages laden with sexual fantasies to her Good Charlotte rocker, Joel.

"She is a pistol who says exactly what is on her mind. When she is not with Joel, she is constantly sending sexy text messages, telling him what she is wearing and what she wants to do with him when she gets home."

Maybe with all this 'gettin' busy', they'll end up with another baby!

Are Nicole Richie and Joel Madden giving their baby a sibling? They have one daughter, Harlow Winter, who will turn one in the new year and the couple would love to expand their family. Is there a surprise for baby Harlow coming up?

Nicole has previously said that she hoped for "three girls and twin boys." Would she ever adopt? Richie said, "Definitely, I'm adopted." However, boyfriend Joel would have preferred to have another biological child before adopting but he's since changed his mind.

Joel said, "I'm definitely not against adopting. I went to Central African Republic and fell in love with the place. If I was going to adopt. It would probably be from there. Nicole and I are very happy and eventually we'd love to have more kids, especially if they can all be as easy and wonderful as Harlow!"

They seem like really great parents, so it would be wonderful if they expanded their family!

Nicole Richie's Harlow: Style Icon At 11 Months

Sassy Smith — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 12:02:00 GMT

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden welcomed their baby girl Harlow 11 months ago, and Nicole says that her daughter is turning into a style icon already. Baby Harlow loves dressing up and really loves tights!

Nicole spoke with USA Today:

What the best thing was for Nicole in 2008:

"Obviously, the birth of my daughter is the best thing ever. Just in general, it’s been a really great year for me. Everything’s just kind of coming together. All of my dreams are becoming a reality."

On how her baby girl is already into fashion:

"She likes to dress up. You can see it in her face. She just loves dressing up; she loves putting on tights and bows and stuff like that. I'm not too caught up in her fashion at the moment. I just let her wear what's comfortable for her. But she loves those tights."

How the new mom handles the paps:

"I would take Harlow to the park. I feel that sometimes I don’t get to do everything that I want to do with her. But you know what? I’m not complaining at all. She has a really great life. My life is what it is, and people have it a lot worse than me."

Her baby is so cute and although I think she looks like Joel, I can really see Nicole in her too.

"My whole life is centered around her," Joels says about Harlow. "The only thing you really have is work and family. Your whole life - your whole lifestyle changes. Harlow's doing great. She's growing up really fast."

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden became parents in January of this year and are now possibly wanting to give their 9-month-old daughter, Harlow, a brother or sister!

According to Star mag, Nicole, 27, has been working with several low-income families through her charity organization, The Richie Madden Foundation, and doing so, has inspired her to want to adopt an underprivileged orphan.

A source said that Nicole is, "seriously looking into it and asking a lot of questions about adopting."

The insider added, "Nicole has been visiting Beyond Shelter in L.A. two or three times a week and spends a couple of hours with homeless children. She loves being around them."

However, her boyfriend Joel, might not be as open to the idea as she is.

"I don't know how keen her boyfriend is on the idea. Still Nicole is determined," said the source.

Little Harlow Madden, daughter of Joel Madden and Nicole Richie was the first "Good Charlotte" baby and recently, guitarist Billy Martin announced that he and wife Linzi are expecting a baby - so yet another rock baby. Now, there could be a third "band" baby - as in a sibling for Harlow. Really?!

Joel said at the launch of a text-messaging charity campaign earlier in the week, "I think being parents - it opens your eyes. Every child I look at, it reminds me of my child - it makes me want to take care of every kid."

Nicole recently told Extra, "She is pulling herself up standing. We don't have to burp her anymore." Joel adds, "She says, 'Mama' and 'Dada'... when we walk into a place, she waves to everyone."

And are they trying for a sibling for Harlow? Nicole says, "We're just enjoying every day, and if it happens, it happens."

See? That means they're totally trying or totally pregnant! Don't believe me? Wait and see! Sure, the previous 'Nicole is pregnant' rumors, were just that but come on, this is almost like seeing the ultra-sound. Ha.

Nicole Richie's Neverending Driving Course

Karl Erikson — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 13:25:00 GMT

Nicole Richie, 26, has had her share of problems. She's been caught with heroin, driving without a license, and driving under the influence. She's even been to jail, albeit for 82 minutes. I've had lunch that lasted longer. Or birthday cake in this case. Yep, it's my birthday! Oh, but this isn't about me. It's about Nicole. Right.

The new mom is still attending driving school. Geez, how long do these classes run?

Richie is attending an anti-drinking driver course that goes for, get this, 18 months! She also has to go to 52 hours of group counseling, 12 hours of alcohol counseling, and biweekly face-to-face interviews. Oh, to be a fly on the wall for the counseling.

That's some serious shit. Guess you shouldn't get caught while driving under the influence in California.

Nicole Richie Is TINY But ANGRY!

Sassy Smith — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 12:02:00 GMT

Whoa, who knew that New York's Fashion Week would bring out the nasties in some celebs? Nicole Richie reportedly went wacko on a camera-snapping fan.

According to the New York Post, an eye witness says that Nicole lost her cool & leapt across a velvet rope, in order to assault a fan who was taking photos.

A young Swedish fan was taking pics of the tiny star when she left the after-party of designer Charlotte Ronson. Apparently this didn't make Nicole happy and she jumped the rope, screaming, "I'm not an animal," then angrily ripped the camera out of the fan's hand and smashed it on the ground.

Now is that any way to treat a fan? And is that how Nicole would want her daughter Harlow to handle that kind of situation? You get more results with nice than you do with pissed off. Most of the time anyway.

Nicole's spokespeople have said nada, zip, zero, nothin'.

Good Charlotte's Billy Martin Talks Fatherhood

Sassy Smith — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 15:02:00 GMT

Good Charlotte guitarist Billy Martin recently blogged that he and wife Linzi will be expecting their first child together and he's dishing on pending fatherhood.

Martin told PEOPLE, "We bought a pregnancy test without even stressing or sweating. She went to take it, I sat down at my desk, and two minutes later she came out and said, 'I'm pregnant!' All the sound in the world stopped for a minute. I was shocked - but excited."

The couple are doing the baby's nursery in Adventures in Wonderland theme and then once they know the sex of the baby, will add either boy or girl accents.

"If it's a girl, maybe more Alice-based, and if it's a boy, more Mad Hatter and Cheshire Cat. We're not going to do anything dark and spooky that's going to scare the baby. We want a lighter, happier version."

And Billy will have friend and bandmate Joel Madden to count on for baby advice. Joel and Nicole Richie welcomed their first daughter, Harlow in January.

Martin says, "Joel says it's going to change my whole world, but fatherhood is the best thing that ever happened to him. He tells me not to stress out, and to try to take everything in stride and enjoy it because it's the coolest thing that can happen to you."

Billy and Linzi will welcome their new baby sometime in January.

"I couldn't be more excited about it, I love kids and have always wanted this to happen. Lucky for me I'm home now, so Linzi and I can start setting up a nursery before the little one comes."

The couple were married on March 1, 2008. Congrats!!

Nicole Richie To Mary Kate Olsen - Hands Off My Baby Daddy!

Sassy Smith — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 18:33:00 GMT

Ooh do I sense a cat fight? Nicole Richie isn't very fond of Mary-Kate Olsen or the fact that the tiny twin is friends with her man and baby daddy, Joel Madden. Nicole wants Mary-Kate to back the freak up!

Richie has reportedly told fiance Joel Madden to stay away from Mary-Kate after Nicole spied the actress flirting with her man.

An insider said, "During the dinner, Mary-Kate was very playful with Joel. It was all fun and games, but with the Olsens nothing is as simple as that. Nicole exloded at Joel and demanded that they leave the party. Afterward, Nicole warned him to stay away from Mary-Kate."

Sounds like some jealousy brewing in Nicole! According to a source, who told Life and Style mag, Mary-Kate went to see Joel in concert, and then hung out with the Good Charlotte band after the show.

The source added, "After the concert, Joel invited her back to see the tour bus. He showed her some baby photos of Harlow. Joel isn't one to lie or hide things from Nicole, so they next day he told her about it on the phone." I'm guessing it didn't go over too well with Nicole. Let's see what the source had to say.....

"Nicole freaked out. Joel thought she'd respect the fact that he was trying to be honest - after all he and Mary-Kate are just friends - but Nicole was hurt and angry. He couldn'dt deal with it, so he hung up, and she kept texting him after that."

This whole situation has lead to numerous arguments between the couple and has resulted in them postponing their wedding plans.

The source continued, "They're having their usual ups and downs. I think they're madly in love and want to get married. But I also think it's moments like this that will continue to keep their wedding on hold."

Hmm, another celebrity couple with trouble brewing in paradise?

Nicole Is Giving It All To Charity

Nicole Richie, how motherhood has changed you.

Nicole was probably a nice/good/helpful/charitable person before she had Harlow but kept it well hidden amongst DUI's and wrong way freeway driving. When she realized she was pregnant I'm sure she had a moment of clarity, like we all do when pregnant. In this moment she realized that the world wasn't just a "Simple Life" and that there were others out there that weren't as fortunate as she is.

In January she and Joel Madden, Harlow's daddy, established the Richie Madden Children's Foundation. Their foundation helps those that don't have the basic things like food and clothing. The charity is designed to help mothers that are struggling to raise their children, I assume it also helps those fathers who struggle by themselves when mom isn't in the picture.

A source tells the New York Daily News, "She's hired some pretty high-powered consultants to advise her and put it all together. The website will be a registry, like for a bridal or shower registry, where low-income women list things they need for their babies. More well-off people will then go on and buy stuff for the children."

It sounds like a good cause and the right people are in place to carry out the plan to fruition.

Did you know that Nicole Richie is putting together an album? I, until this moment, did not. It's good to see her branching out to do something else.

Her album will have original tracks as well as a remake of Prince's 1979 "Do Me Baby". She will have some special songs dedicated to her honey Joel Madden and munchkinette Harlow.

She has already laid down seven tracks for her album.

As my uncle would say, "go on with your bad self", Nicole.

Joel Madden is out of his silly mind.

Nicole Richie recently forbade her bubby (boyfriend, not yet hubby) from getting a picture of Harlow on his tooth. Really, he wanted to get a tattoo on his tooth, that's just, I don't know classless.

I'm sure there are lots of people out there with really classy tooth tattoos, I just haven't seen any.

A source said: "Joel promised Nicole that he wouldn't get any more tattoos. Then a friend suggested a tooth tattoo, which is a photo imprinted on a tooth. When Joel told Nicole he wanted to get their daughter Harlow's face tattooed on one of his front teeth, she shrieked, 'Absolutely not!' "

Good for Nicole, stick to your guns.

Nicole Richie - Paranoid Germaphobe Mommy?

Sassy Smith — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 18:02:00 GMT

First time moms tend to be a little over the top when it comes to their babies and germs. Believe me, I was. But is Nicole Richie, mom to Harlow Winter, obsessed with her baby coming in contact with germs? Is she a paranoid, germaphobe mommy?

According to an insider, Nicole is apparently washing everything that her baby uses, twice! She thinks by doing so, it will keep Harlow safe from germs and sickness.

"Nicole double washes her daughter Harlow's clothes and double sanitizes her bottles, baby spoons - anything Harlow eats out of.

"Even the cleaning supplies in the house have to be organic and non-toxic." Well sure, you want non-toxic around kids! Duh.

The source tells the National Enquirer that Joel is concerned about how obsessed Nicole is with the sanitizing.

"Joel has always worried about germs, but Joel feels she has taken it too far. Joel wants Harlow to grow up healthy, but he thinks all this double-sterilising is weird." Slightly.

Trust me, by the time she pops baby number two out, she'll be waaay less stringent and will realize that, a little dirt never hurt any kid!
