Nicole Richie’s Baby Shower

Nicole Richie is not known for being conventional so I suppose it should come as no surprise that the pregnant reality TV star recently hosted a very untraditional baby shower. In a strange (albeit generous) twist, the mom-to-be donated all of her baby shower gifts to her pet charity– the Richie Madden Children’s Foundation—allowing 100 expectant and new moms at the Los Angeles Free Clinic to share in $200,000 worth of baby gifts. Richie launched the foundation with her boyfriend (and father of her unborn child) rocker Joel Madden. The Good Charlotte singer said creating the charity was an idea … Continue reading

Nicole’s 82 Minutes In Jail

Her massages and manicures have lasted longer… Eighty-two minutes. That’s how long Nicole Richie spent in jail prior to being set free. According to news reports, a pregnant Richie entered an L.A. jail at 3:15 p.m. on Thursday. She was then processed into the system and released at 4:37 p.m. Now that’s fast. Officials with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department told reporters the reality TV star only spent 82 minutes of her four-day sentence in jail because the facility is overcrowded. Apparently, based on Richie’s sentence and federal court guidelines, a non-violent female offender sentenced to 30 days or … Continue reading

Celebrity Updates: Nicole Engaged?

Funny, I thought she has been engaged for a while. Silly me. I guess I thought that Joel Madden had asked Nicole Richie for her hand in marriage the day he found out she was pregnant with his child… but, apparently not. According to numerous reports, the Good Charlotte singer proposed to his baby’s mama on Thursday. The quasi-announcement came last night after Madden and his band played a gig in Virginia. As Madden was walking off stage a local radio deejay announced to the crowd: “He got engaged yesterday. Congratulations, Joel!” Upon hearing the cheers from the crowd Madden … Continue reading

SURI THE BREADWINNER Goodness knows she doesn’t need the exposure or the money… Regardless, a rumor has been circulating on the Internet that the adorable spawn of Tom Cruise and his robo-wife Katie Holmes is the new face of Baby Gap.

Nicole Richie Jail Bound

Now BFFs Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton have one more thing in common—serving time. Just a few hours ago the 25-year-old daughter of Lionel Richie pleaded guilty to driving under the influence of drugs and was sentenced to 90 hours in jail (roughly 4 days) and fined more than $2,000 by a judge who admonished her behavior. According to news reports, the judge also gave Richie three years’ probation and warned her that if ever drove drunk again and killed someone she would be charged with murder instead of manslaughter. Witnesses in the courtroom said the judge lectured Richie for … Continue reading

Nicole Breaks Her Silence

Not only did she not get to interview Paris Hilton, but now word has it Barbara Walters has been snubbed by Nicole Richie as well. According to ABC News, Hilton’s BFF chose to spill her guts to Walters’ colleague Diane Sawyer instead. On August second and third, Sawyer will broadcast parts of her interview with the “Simple Life” star on “Good Morning America.” The interview will be shown in its entirety on the August 3rd episode of “20/20.” The sit down with Sawyer marks Richie’s interview since her self-imposed media silence. Hmm… a three part interview? I’m surprised Sawyer edited … 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

Oh Geez! Announce It Already!

I’m all for respecting the privacy of celebrities (to an extent), but I think, at this point, the world is tiring of Jennifer Lopez’s attempts to dodge pregnancy rumors. For those of you who don’t read the newspaper, watch TV, listen to the radio, or read this blog, the award-winning singer is reportedly four months pregnant with twins. AND she is in the middle of a huge media tour to promote her new album and current concert tour. As such Lopez is making the rounds on a number of talk shows and other entertainment news shows. However, she has reportedly … Continue reading

Celebrity Baby Talk

Babies, babies, babies. They are the talk of Tinseltown. From Jennifer Lopez’s rumored pregnancy with twins (announce you’re pregnant already) to Nicole Richie’s burgeoning baby bump to Halle Berry’s upcoming appearance on Oprah’s show to spill the beans on her new baby belly. And, then there’s Brooke Shields. The mom of two—-daughters, Rowan, 4, and Grier, 1—-says she is ready for baby No.3. “I would love it,” Shields recently told reporters at a publicity event. “I might have to bind and gag my husband [Chris Henchy] because I think he’s happy with the girls he has in his life, but … Continue reading
