Lionel Richie: I Survived Nicole

trix — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 17:03:00 GMT

As it turns out the stars are just like us, only they have more money.

Lionel Richie recently talked about the trials of raising a tabloid celebrity and he had this to say, "Forget about surviving 40 years in the music business, just surviving 27 years of Nicole Richie has been a struggle-and-a-half, I want to tell you. I stand here as a survivor, I want you to know, for all the parents out there."

They all seem to be doing relatively well now, there have been no arrests, no mug shots and no jail time in almost a year.

Did you know that Lionel Richie is hugely popular in the Arab world? He doesn't know why either.

Hello, Harlow!

Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Lionel Richie:

Hello!
Is it me you're looking for?
I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your smile
You're all Ive ever wanted
And my arms are open wide
Because you know just what to say
And you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much
I love you

I long to see the sunlight in your hair
And tell you time and time again
How much I care
Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow
Hello!

Oh, and here are some pictures of Nicole and Joel:

Hide Your Children: Paris Is Going To Be A (God)mother

Not that this comes as much of a surprise, but apparently Nicole Richie wants Paris Hilton to be her baby's godmother. Hubby Joel Madden, however, isn't so keen on the idea.

Joel, apparently, doesn't think that Paris is up for the task, and would prefer instead to name his future sister-in-law, Sophie Monk, godmother.

Paris Hilton, not up to the task of being godmother? Shocking. Couldn't have anything to do with her being, you know, a godless heathen of a famewhore tart, could it?

Nicole Richie And Joel Madden Breakup?

Sassy Smith — Sat, 19 Jan 2008 14:06:00 GMT

Well, not exactly. However, there are reports that the new parents were going to call it quits before the baby was born. Apparently they had even called off their wedding! Joel was said to be upset with Nicole because she refused to stop working (um, what's her job again?) before the birth of their daughter. The joy that they felt though, when little Harlow arrived, made them realize how insignificant their problems were and decided to give it another shot.

An "insider" told the National Enquirer :

“Nicole wouldn’t get off her feet and stop working, despite warnings from friends, family and Joel to take it easy,” said another source.

“She was obsessed with getting the recording of her first CD underway.”

Nicole also threw herself into the couple’s charity - the Richie-Madden Children’s Foundation - and became consumed with baby showers and planning the wedding.

“Finally, Joel said enough is enough. He told Nicole that if she wouldn’t listen to him about something as important as their child, the wedding was off,” said the source.

“Nicole was blindsided, but Joel didn’t feel he had any other option. He was ready to walk.”

“Happily, everything changed when Nicole delivered their healthy, 6-pound, 7-ounce daughter at L.A.’s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

“Cradling the baby, Nicole looked up into Joel’s eyes and whispered: ‘I’m so sorry. I love you,’” said the friend. “From that point on, all was forgiven and the wedding was back on.”

Joel told Ryan Seacrest:

"Obviously, marriage is in our future."

I hope they do stay together, not only for their sweet girl Harlow Winter Kate but because they do seem like a cute couple.
