He's got more tattoos than most people have teeth and he likes his music loud and louder. So when his girlfriend Nicole Richie gives birth to their child next month don't expect Joel Madden to be taking the infant home dressed in a traditional onesie.

The Good Charlotte rocker and his twin brother bandmate Benji have just launched a new line of baby clothes, which they are selling under their DCMA Collective brand in anticipation of the newest Madden's arrival.

Richie's baby daddy says he was inspired to create the collection because "I think it would be really awesome for me and the baby to dress alike." According to Madden, the new baby fashion line will also help raise money for the expectant couple's charity. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of all baby merchandise will benefit the Richie-Madden Children's Foundation.

I guess you could consider it a daddy and me collection of infant wear-Papa Rocker and Rocker Jr. The black-and-white line features mini-versions of DCMA designs including their trademark brass-knuckle logo and other rock-inspired details like skulls, lightening bolts, hearts and roses featured on hoodies, onesies, and tees.

Madden says he and his brother are hoping to launch a kids' shoe line next summer.

Hmm... mini spikes on black booties?

Meanwhile, Richie's BFF and former reality TV co-star Paris Hilton may not be having a baby, but she too is mixing business with charity... by posing nude.

The 26-year-old hotel heiress recently shot an ad campaign in the buff to launch an initiative to bring drinking water to drought-ravaged regions.

"It is important to give back if you have been as blessed as we have," Hilton told news reporters, adding that she is concerned people in parts of the world don't have enough water. "A lot of people don't realize that many people don't even have running water in their homes."

In the ad the socialite-turned-jailbird-turned-environmental-activist is seen wearing only a coat of glittering gold paint, as she crawls across the parched desert.

According to the founder of the water company behind the ads, the organization plans to ship icebergs to desert regions and distribute the melted ice water to the thirsty.
