Nicole Richie's Harlow high

Nicole Richie says becoming a mother was the "best thing ever".

The 27-year-old star - who gave birth to daughter Harlow, her first child with boyfriend Joel Madden, in January - revealed welcoming her first child into the world was a momentous occasion.

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

Nicole - who recently debuted her 35-piece jewellery line called House of Harlow 1960 - also revealed her daughter is already inheriting her mom's unique fashion sense.

She added to the USA Today newspaper: "She likes to dress up. You can see it in her face. 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!"

Nicole Richie's birthday wedding

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden are set to marry on their daughter's first birthday.

The couple - who welcomed Harlow into the world on January 11 2008 - are reportedly keen to tie the knot on the landmark date to show their child how much they love each other.

A friend of the pair said: "They want to set an example for Harlow. Nicole and Joel are doing this to seal their love legally. They want the ceremony to coincide with Harlow's first birthday and be one big joyous occasion for everybody."

Socialite Nicole - whose adoptive father is singer Lionel Richie -and Good Charlotte rocker Joel are planning to sell pictures of the ceremony to a magazine.

However, the kind-hearted couple intend to donate any money they make from their special day to charity.

The pal added: "They've spoke about giving any money they get for photos of their wedding to Beyond Shelter, a homeless charity in Los Angeles that they work with. They also plan to give any presents away as well."

Nicole was recently reported to have been inspired to adopt a child after spending time with homeless children through her work with Beyond Shelter.

A source close to Nicole said: "Nicole is seriously looking into it and asking a lot of questions about adopting."Nicole has been visiting Beyond Shelter in Los Angeles two or three times a week and spends a couple of hours with homeless children. She loves being around them."

Nicole Richie's style war over

Nicole Richie and her former stylist Rachel Zoe have ended their feud.

'The Simple Life' star - who reduced Rachel to tears after calling her nicknames including "raisin face" and "lettuce cup" on her MySpace page - was seen happily speaking to the fashionista at a Los Angeles store opening earlier this week.

An onlooker said: "Nicole and Rachel introduced their partners to each other. They talked for 20 minutes about real estate and the economy."

Rachel was little known before her well-publicised war of words with Nicole.

She has since penned a book 'Style A to Zoe: The Art of Fashion, Beauty, and Everything Glamour' and has a TV show on US network Bravo entitled 'The Rachel Zoe Project'.

Rachel, 37, has always insisted it was her collaboration with Nicole which secured the star's position as one of the world's foremost fashion icons.

She said: "Nicole is now what people refer to as the big thing that happened. Everything went from nowhere to everywhere. Nicole was about creating a look.

"Because of her fashion sense, which was really my fashion sense, she became famous. It was a huge moment - Nicole became a style icon without being a star."

She tells People.com, "Food tastes better coming from your mum because it's made with love.

Nicole Richie To Guest Star On NBC's Chuck

Nicole Richie is set to guest star in an episode of NBC's hit comedy Chuck later this fall. The network confirmed that the former reality TV star will be playing the role of a snarky and spiteful girl" who made life miserable for Special Agent Sarah Walker (actress Yvonne Strahovski) back in high school.

In the episode, Sarah "must face her fears" when she attends her ten year high school reunion, so it should be interesting to see how bitchy Nicole's character is -we love a mean girl! Chuck's executive producer Josh Schwartz says, Nicole auditioned for the part and was very funny. This role is a great opportunity for her to show off her comedic skills and be diabolically evil and kick some butt.

It's going to be really fun.' We're beginning to notice a trend with so many guest stars all over the small screen! Who is your favorite guest star - Britney? Lindsay? Think Nicole's role will blow them both out of the water?

The Good Charlotte frontman and his heavily pregnant fiancée - who is due to give birth in January - handed out new pairs of shoes and teddy bears to the kids.

Nicole joined in as the children enjoyed face-painting, balloon animals and hot dogs, and was cheered by the children as she shouted, "Who wants to throw pies in Joel's face?"

Celebrity Fashion: Golden Girls Go Graphic

By Wendy O

While us mere mortals shy away from graphic print dresses, Hollywood fashionista’s like Gwen Stefani, Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie embrace them with a passion. Hilton even takes it to the next level by pairing two completely different (and totally clashing) patterns, donning a multi-colored patterned dress and black and white graphic shoes.

So I get what Gwen is doing…it’s not like a black and white palette is anything new to her. Since the early No Doubt days, she’s been seen in black and white stripes, up to her more recent off-the-shoulder number in her “Sweet Escape” video. These bold graphics play along nicely with her platinum locks, alabaster skin and red lips combo.

We all know now why Nicole Richie can get away with wearing long, flowy graphic print dresses…they are perfect for disguising a baby bump! Even a five months along pregs belly can be somewhat hidden in this swirly pattern.

But Paris…I don’t know if I can forgive you. Really…first the matronly short hairdo, and now this? Even if the shoes were paired with a solid colored dress, I don’t think that I could stomach them. I get what she’s trying to do, really…and the dress isn’t that terrible, but if you stare at her ensemble long enough you may become hypnotized.

So…graphic prints for fall, yay or nay? Choose your graphics wisely and don’t go around mixing and matching like a crazy heiress…whether you are looking to disguise a burgeoning baby belly or play up siren-like makeup, graphics are hot this season.

Lepaparazzi News Update: Is Nicole Richie Engaged?

Pregnant socialite Nicole Richie agreed to marry boyfriend Joel Madden on Thursday, a U.S. radio DJ reports. Hot 99.5 morning show host Kane made the announcement at a Friday party in Virginia, where Madden performed with his band Good Charlotte.

Following the set, Kane told guests, "He got engaged yesterday. Congratulations, Joel!"

Kane adds, "They're very excited about the baby and the wedding. They want to keep their personal life personal."

It seems the secret is already out though - while quizzing Madden about his relationship with Richie on his show on Thursday, U.S. TV personality Regis Philbin asked, "You're going to present her, maybe, with... A little ring, or something?"

A shocked Madden replied, "I was hoping it would be a surprise, but now..."

Richie is four and a half months pregnant with her first child with Madden.

Lepaparazzi News Update: Richie Is At Home, Not In Rehab

Interviewer Ann Curry apologised and Jolie continued, "It's alright. It's a part of life... I lost my mom. It's a natural thing for a child to lose a parent. I lost my mom too young, but it happened. And I'm happy she's out of pain, because I love her and she's my friend." (GES/WNWV/JC)) Richie Is At Home, Not In Rehab.

Socialite NICOLE RICHIE has hit out at claims she is in rehab fighting anorexia and a lethal addiction to painkillers, insisting she is enjoying life at home.

But a spokesman for The Simple Life star denies the claims, saying she is in fact at her home in Glendale, California.

The representative tells TMZ.com Richie recently visited her therapist, but her recovery is "an ongoing process" and she is "completely sober".

Lepaparazzi News Update: Nicole Richie tells Paris She's Scared Of Prison

Nicole Richie Image Source:

Nicole Richie has reportedly told Paris Hilton that she is terrified of going to prison for driving under the influence (DUI).

The new BFFs, who recently made up after not talking for two years, were spotted in LA restaurant Mr Chow’s. Paris was apparently comforting her distraught pal.

A source told Life and Style Weekly magazine: "She was really freaking out. Paris kept telling Nicole not to worry, that everything was going to be fine."

Nicole was arrested on December 11, after leaving boyfriend (Good Charlotte front man) Joel Madden’s home, for driving the wrong way down a Californian motorway. Nicole, 25, confessed to officers she had taken the prescription painkiller Vicodin and had smoked marijuana.

As Nicole has previous offences - she has a previous DUI charge from 2002 and California law states that a repeat offence carries the mandatory jail sentence of five days – Nicole is said to be extremely anxious.

If convicted, not only would Nicole have her driving license suspended for one year, she would also be ordered to attend an alcohol education program for a year-and-a-half, even if the second conviction is not alcohol-related.

Paris Hilton recently negotiated a plea for a DUI offence. The 25-year-old pleaded not guilty to DUI, instead pleading no contest to a lesser charge of reckless driving and was placed on probation. It is believed her lawyer Howard Weitzman will be representing Nicole in the case.

Lepaparazzi News Update: The '10' List: Hollywood's Weekly Buzz

1. There’s a bit of truth in every joke… We’re flabbergasted because Lindsay Lohan checked herself into rehab this week. Really. Although Lindsay started attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings last month, last year’s riddle in which a doctor was mysteriously called to her suite at Los Angeles’ Chateau Marmont always haunted us. And to think Lindsay made light of the Marmont Incident, saying she was no “Marilyn Monroe, overdosing in the bathroom.”

2. And Nicole Richie breathes a sigh of relief… Because David Beckham signed a five-year $250 million contract to play for the L.A. Galaxy Major League Soccer team. That means the soccer hottie and his toothpick wife Victoria will be moving to Hollywood, taking the skinny crown away from Nicole.

3. She does love cheeseburgers and lipstick… Adult movie star Jenna Jameson is developing a biopic of her life, and she wants Scarlett Johansson to play her. “We're looking, hopefully, at Scarlett Johansson. She's my choice,” the How to Make Love like a Porn Star: A Cautionary Tale star said. Dream on Jenna—that card’s not in Scarlett’s “Me, sexy?” deck.

4. Love is a battlefield… Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz's amicable split took a turn for the worse. According to People magazine, the exes had a heated argument at Prince's Golden Globes after-party. Witnesses say Cameron approached Justin while the singer was chatting up Jessica Biel, which lead to a 40-minute face-off in a side room. Cameron reportedly emerged composed, while Justin surfaced with his head in his hands and then slammed his fist into a cabinet, but he didn’t cry us a river.

5. Some people don’t change after high school… “They unfortunately do not get along anymore.” That’s Austrian socialite Richard Lugner—Paris Hilton's date at next month's glittering Vienna Opera Ball--confirming the friendship between Britney Spears and Paris is officially caput. Next: Paris slips nasty notes under her desk about Brit to her new BFF.

6. His foot goes deep throat… Isaiah Washington’s foot, that is. The Grey’s Anatomy star stunned cast mates in the press room at the Golden Globe Awards this week when he grabbed the microphone to insist he never used the derogatory slur “faggot”—by using the derogatory ‘f’ slur. Maybe Isaiah should take co-star Katherine Heigl’s advice and “just not speak in public. Period.”

7. The celeb sex tape scandal of the week… Internet porn company SugarDVD.com has confirmed the existence of a sex tape featuring Paris Hilton’s pal Kim Kardashian with her ex—and Whitney Houston's reported new beau--Ray J. SugarDVD.com bosses have reportedly offered Kim a $2 million deal for the exclusive rights to the tape, but the socialite said she wants nothing to do with it and insists her ex (also R&B star Brandy's brother) won't either. We'll see about that.

8. Oh please shut up, Dina… ” I'm so proud of her. She's really in a good place right now, spiritually and mentally,” Lindsay Lohan's mom Dina tells Star magazine about her daughter checking into a Los Angeles rehab facility. “She's in an amazing, phenomenal place. She's 20 and she's solid, and she's doing what she needs to do.”

9. She’s so an on-set slut… We like Claire Danes, but she sure isn't wasting time moving on from her split with he Stage Beauty co-star Billy Crudup. New York Daily News' Gatecrasher column reports Claire is hot and heavy with her Evening co-star Hugh Dancy.

10. ”Yeah!”… Usher was sentenced to 20 hours of community service and hit with a $425 fine after being convicted of speeding. The R&B singer was pulled over for driving at 103 mph in Georgia on last year’s Fourth of July. We wonder what he has driving?
