Are Nicole Richie and Joel Madden Secretly Married?

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden just added another bundle of joy to their expanding family, but are they secretly married? Well, they are if you believe the story in this week’s Star! In case you haven’t heard, the Rev. Sun Myung Moon of the Unification Church just performed another mass wedding ceremony (or as the church refers to is – “blessing ceremony”) for which he has become famous or infamous, depending on your opinion. As best I can understand it, Rev. Moon figured that performing mass wedding ceremonies of couples paired from all over the world was the best way … Continue reading

Nicole Richie Gives Birth and Ellen DeGeneres Replaces Paula Abdul

Just five day’s after attending her ex-fiance DJ AM’s funeral, Nicole Richie gave birth to her second child. She and Good Charlotte rocker Joel Madden welcomed son Sparrow James Midnight Madden into the world on September 9th. The baby weighed in at 7 pounds, 14 ounces. His sister, Harlow Winter Kate, was born in January 2008. In something straight out of the “I thought it was really a joke” category is the announcement that Ellen DeGeneres will replace Paula Abdul on “American Idol” as a judge. No, I am not kidding! If you remember, Paula announced last month that she … Continue reading

DJ AM Dead at 36

I came home from a night out with friends and read the headline that DJ AM (Adam Goldstein) was found dead in his Manhattan apartment. Friends reported not hearing from him for two days and police broke the door down to find his lifeless body. Great, Ted Kennedy, Dominick Dunne, and now DJ AM – the death in threes theory continues! Yes, the same guy that seemed lucky to survive the fiery plane crash in South Carolina last September is dead at the age of 36. He was found both unresponsive and unconscious in his apartment on Friday afternoon. The … Continue reading

Oh Sure NOW They’re Getting Married

Breaking news (not): Nicole Richie and her live-in lover Joel Madden are reportedly planning their wedding now that she’s pregnant with their second child. First comes love, then come marriage, then comes the baby in the baby carriage… obviously this children’s rhyme was penned by someone, who had absolutely no ties to Hollywood, or the 21st century. Baby first, marriage maybe second, or third (depending on how important career is). Hey, that’s how they roll in Tinseltown… and Toledo… and Tulsa… and just about every other place in the world. But, that’s life, right? Just ask first time parents Richie … Continue reading

Nicole Richie Expecting Baby No. 2

Four months ago Nicole Richie told reporters that she would rather have a nap than another baby, but apparently her rocker boyfriend got his way. According to Richie’s boy toy, Joel Madden, the couple is prepping to add a new kiddo to the mix. In a message on the Good Charlotte (the band Madden fronts) website, he wrote, “I am so happy to tell everyone that Harlow is going to be a big sister! God has truly blessed my family. Hope [you’re] all feeling as good as i am right now.” Harlow is Harlow Winter Kate Madden, Richie and Madden’s … Continue reading

Paris Ditches Benji

You didn’t really think those two would make it down the aisle, did you? I’ll admit; the way they constantly spoke of getting hitched and procreating, there was a moment there where I thought Paris Hilton had actually found her soul mate in rocker Benji Madden. But, then my cold medicine wore off and I figured this day would come sooner than later. According to news reports, after nine months joined at the hip (and lips) the 27-year-old hotel heiress gave her heavily tattooed boy toy the boot. “She is saddened by the breakup but they’re just too different and … Continue reading

Star Gigs—Inmates Running the Asylum

Anyone who tunes into the 2008 Miss Universe pageant next month has got to wonder who was in charge of casting. The beauty competition is set to air on NBC July 13th and when it does two of the most unlikely people in Hollywood will be presiding over it. Pageant organizers just announced that Jerry Springer and Melanie Brown (a.k.a. Mel B of the Spice Girls) will co-host the annual pretty girl fest. What? Let me see if I’ve got this right… you have a show that is taking place in Nha Trang, Vietnam and being beamed around the world … Continue reading

Real Stars Don’t Sign Wallpaper

Not that anyone should mistake Paris Hilton for a real movie star, but the truth is she did reportedly sign her name on expensive wallpaper (yes, folks apparently she does know how to spell her name)… and now she’s paying the price for it. Well, her daddy will likely pick up the tab—–details, details. According to news reports, the socialite has been permanently banned from an upscale Russian hotel after signing her name with a permanent marker on its very, very expensive wallpaper. You would think that being a hotel heiress (never mind that she is also 27 years old) … Continue reading

Celebrity Fashion Designers—-Gimme a Break!

It’s no secret that Hollywood A-lister’s don’t have to have knowledge of fashion design (or fashion sense for that matter) to have an entire collection created in their name. These days you can buy leggings by Lindsay Lohan, jeans by Justin Timberlake, dresses by Madonna and tank tops by Jude Law’s ex-girlfriend Sienna Miller. But the latest round of celebrities turned fashion designers has me rolling my eyes in ways I didn’t think possible. Take for example Britney Spears. The reforming popwreck had custody of her two young sons stripped from her following her public meltdowns, yet she’s now in … Continue reading

Hollywood Moms Working on… Jewelry, New Jobs, and Baby Names

She just added new mom to her resume, but Nicole Richie says she’s not stopping there.

The former reality TV star has teamed up with Mouawad, the company who also produces Heidi Klum’s fine jewelry collection, to create a line for young women. According to company execs, Richie approves all sketches prior to production.
