Fulfilling her legal obligations, Nicole Richie was spotted out for her weekly traffic school class in Van Nuys, California on Wednesday (September 17).
The former “Simple Life” starlet wore a black top with a plunging neckline paired with ragged jean shorts and a pair of flip flops as she carried her coffee in for her day’s lesson.
Star Magazine reports that Nicole Richie moved out of her and babydaddy Joel Madden's Glendale house to stay with her mom, and she took daughter Harlow with her!
According to a pal, the couple had "a bitter fight," ending with Nicole screaming at Joel: "We're through!" The new mom returned the following day, but "this was her way of sending Joel a message."
Days later, Joel's band Good Charlotte performed at a VMA after-party at the Chateau Marmont... and the rocker partied with Mischa Barton, Nicole's friend, says a source.
Mischa had just broken up with Taylor Locke and was "dancing seductively for Joel," claims the mag.
Okay, FIRST OF ALL, we have pix of Nicole and Joel out shopping together just last Friday (see below!) and they seem perfectly fine...
Second of all, they're still living at their Glendale house while continuing to look for a new home. And third of all, Joel and Mischa? I don't think so.
They're totes just friends! We really don't trust this report... do you?
Hopefully not!
It’s always nice to see our favorite celebrities reaching out and using their fame and fortune to benefit others. And yesterday (September 15), Nicole Richie and Joel Madden were spotted hosting an ice cream social to raise money for the Richie-Madden Children’s Foundation.
The “Simple Life” mommy and her rockstar babydaddy took over Beyond Shelter for a delicious and charitable event hosted by Marble Slab Creamery called “Text CHILD to 90999.”
Nicole Richie and Joel Madden are so inspired by watching their little Harlow grow, that they've decided to grow their commitment to the Richie-Madden foundation...and maybe even their family!
"I think being parents -- it opens yours eyes," Joel tells Extra. "Every child I look at, it reminds me of my child -- it makes me want to take care of every kid." And the Richie-Madden foundation has found a new way of doing that -- if you text the word "child" to 90999, $5 will be added to your phone bill and sent to the foundation! Sounds easy enough!
And what about another "child" of their own? "If it happens, it happens," says Nicole.
Harlow's so adorable, I can only guess they'd have another one equally as cute!

Back from Fashion Week in NYC, and back with her adorable little family, Nicole and Joel brought Harlow out to the Whole Foods for a little grocery shopping yesterday.
What do you think hurts more? Harlow's teeth coming in or Nicole's feet walking around in those ultra-high heels?
I dunno, I might have to go with Nicole's feet, as stunning as those shoes are, they just don't look like they'd be comfortable to run errands in!
As the summertime winds to a close, Nicole Richie was spotted taking advantage of the fine weather as she spent a little quality time with Joel Madden on Friday afternoon (September 5).
The cute couple stopped to get frozen yogurt and soda at a deli in the Beverly Glen Country Mart, with Nicole sporting a beanie, short jean cut-offs, a grey t-shirt and a pair of classic aviator sunglasses.
Taking a break from their parental duties, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden were spotted enjoying each other’s company on a dinner date last night (September 1).
The “Simple Life” cutie and her Good Charlotte rocker beau met a sea of paparazzi as they attempted to exit Malibu, California hot spot Nobu restaurant.
It was a family affair as proud parents Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley attended their daughter Alexa Ray Joel’s performance for a ‘Save Sag Harbor’ benefit gig in the Hamptons in these EXCLUSIVE shots. Billy Joel hung out on one side of the stage while ex-wife Christie Brinkley was on the other side dancing to the songs. The two didn’t stay apart for long and played nice, having a good chat while supporting their daughter. Billy Joel carried a cane but when Alexa Ray Joel performed he converted it into an air-guitar. Billy Joel’s mother was also present.

Problems? What problems?
We spotted young couple Nicole Richie and her beau Joel Madden out for a stroll in the Hollywood Hills the other day, and they looked just as happy as can be... right?
Haven't seen baby Harlow in a while, though - don't hide her much longer, guys!
Nicole is still so adorable. Can't wait to see her back on TV again!
While her babydaddy Joel Madden is off performing concerts on the east coast, Nicole Richie is staying responsible by keeping up on her weekly traffic school visits.
The former Simple Life starlet was spotted out earlier today (August 13) as she was dropped of for another set of road lessons by her bodyguard/chauffeur.

Nicole Richie stepped out twice yesterday, once to driving school and then a little later on for lunch with her babydaddy Joel Madden. No sign of her roomy jeans, though - could she be over that look already? We wouldn't be surprised - when it comes to fashion, Nicole's a leader, not a follower!
Of course, we can't complain too much about Nicole ditching those jeans - the girl's got a great pair of legs, and we're all for her showing 'em off! Check it out:
See? Total hotness!

Will this poor girl ever be done with traffic school?
Looking ever the stylish pair, Joel Madden and Nicole Richie walked side-by-side as they took care of their daily errands in West Hollywood, California on Tuesday (August 5).
The couple are recently returned from a family trip out in Dallas, and there were reportedly a few priceless moments throughout the plane trip back home.
Ever since their daughter Harlow Winter was born, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden have been keeping a decidedly low profile. And yesterday they were spotted meeting up at a downtown apartment building for some family time.
The “Simple Life” cutie shielded her face from the paparazzi as she arrived at Granville Towers in Hollywood along with her 6-month-old daughter and some Coffee Bean refreshments.
Venturing out in the Los Angeles sunshine, Nicole Richie was spotted out visiting a Los Angeles studio with her daughter Harlow Winter Kate on Tuesday afternoon (July 22).
An hour later, the former Simple Life star’s rocker husband Joel Madden joined his wife and daughter there - pulling up in his black Audi Q7 SUV before hopping out and heading inside to see his two lovely ladies.
Enjoying a little time together, Nicole Richie was spotted out at the DCMA shop in Los Angeles on Thursday (June 26) - hanging out with babydaddy Joel Madden and his brother Benji.
The former Simple Life starlet’s beau recently spoke to press about plans to walk down the aisle, saying that nothing is in the works at this point.

Joel Madden enjoys a nutritious cigarette while hanging out with friends in Larchmont Village, Los Angeles, on Thursday.
The rocker is the lead singer of the band Good Charlotte.
Smoking has been proven to help singers hit high notes and sing very well. It gives voice a beautiful textures.
Doctors recommend you smoke a pack the hour before you go on stage, in case you didn't know that.
Hopefully he's smoking around little Harlow. The second hand smoke is proven to make babies smarter!

Yesterday photos of Mary Kate Olsen partying with Nicole Richie, Joel Madden and Mary Kate’s ex, Max Snow, were leaked and published on Oh No They Didn’t. The photos show the privileged 20-somethings having a good time in a spacious house with their friends, looking drunk and playing with a piñata. Most of them are wearing plaid and it seems like it’s the theme of the night and could be a pajama party.
Nicole Richie holds up a bottle of water in one picture so it’s possible she was pregnant with little Harlow at that point. Harlow was born January 11, which would mean she was pregnant starting in May, 2007. Max Snow and Mary Kate Olsen broke up sometime in the early fall of last year.
There’s nothing particularly incriminating about these photos and they all look pretty innocent. The one where they’re scrambling on the floor over something looks possibly drug-related, but they’re probably just trying to collect the candy from the piñata.
We don’t know how Iris does it, but she always get some great shots at the most exclusive parties around. This weekend, she attended the Heart of the Hamptons Gala in Bridgehampton where Christie Brinkley was being honored. Christie, of course, looked amazing - time and age never affect her even remotely (we’d even say that age makes her look even more amazing). And it’s great to see that the divorce proceedings haven’t gotten her down. We love strong women, and Christie is an inspiring example.

Taking a break from their normal parental duties, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden scheduled a babysitter for Harlow and headed out to the Cartier Love Charity Bracelet launch party.
It’s the third year for the Love Charity bracelet campaign which has raise $2.24 million over the past two years for sixteen global charities. And it just so happens that Joel’s band Good Charlotte is one of this year’s celebrity ambassadors.
Joining a star-studded crowd at the Staples Center on Sunday night, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden showed up to cheer the Los Angeles Lakers to a Game 5 win over the Boston Celtics.
Besides checking out the local sports scene, the former Simple Life star and her Good Charlotte rocker beau have been the focus of wedding rumors - which Joel recently spoke up about.
Joel Madden has some pretty gullible people in his family. There is actually another word we usually use when describing someone who believes things printed in Star Magazine to be the gospel truth, but we’ll stick with gullible out of respect for the Madden clan. Anyway, Joel posted the following message on his blog this weekend to set the record straight and get the fam off his back.
“WE DID IT!! NICOLE AND I FINALLY GOT MARRIED!! Click here for pictures!!”
“HAHA. JUST KIDDING, So I feel really stupid even posting this, but I’ve been getting calls and texts from my family all week asking me why they weren’t invited to my wedding. I guess the only answer I could give them was that I didn’t know we were having one!” he added. “So I just found that Star magazine wrote some story about a 2 MILLION dollar wedding we are supposed to be having, and that’s where it came from. Sooooo if you were pi–ed at me for not inviting you or even telling you, don’t blame me, there’s nothing to worry about,” Madden wrote. “It’s just Star magazine. How long do you think it will be before they write we called it off, or we broke up? I give them a week or two…….”
We aren’t really sure what prompted Joel to post the photo-shopped picture of the gorillas in wedding attire, but who doesn’t love dressed up monkeys?
Now that they’re a real bona fide family, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden are thinking about a new homestead. And they were spotted checking out some potential abodes yesterday in Los Angeles, California.

Nicole Richie leaving MTV Studios in Santa Monica (6/3)
Nicole Richie is *this* close to an emotional breakdown. Apparently the turmoil in Nicole’s life over the past few years (eating disorder, DUI arrest, pregnancy) is finally catching up with her. A friend of Richie’s claims that lately she’s been breaking down over the smallest things (e.g. baby crying, Joel possibly cheating on her). The same friend told the National Enquirer:
“Nicole feels like her life is in a constant state of emotional turmoil right now, and when one crying episode ends, another one seems to begin. Everything is happening so quickly that it’s almost getting to be too much for her to handle. The slightest bit of stress turns into a huge emotional ordeal. Joel is trying to be patient with Nicole even though her meltdowns often do end in arguments. But he understands she’s gone through some very serious emotional and physical changes — she got pregnant, found sobriety, moved in with Joel and became a mother — all in a very short time, and that’s a lot for anyone to handle.” (Source)
What did Nicole think would happen to her life after she delivered the spawn of a horny musician? That he’d quit banging 14-year-old 15-year-old 16-year-old 17-year-old 18-year-old groupies and the two of them would move to the suburbs and live happily ever after? The only thing Nicole should expect over the next decade from this relationship is to be introducing her child to it’s new half-brothers and sisters every six months.
NOTE: There’s a term for women that are moody and miserable just after giving birth: Postpartum Depression Married. Are we sure that Nicole and Joel didn’t secretly tie the knot earlier this year?

Now that they’re accustomed to their role as parents, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden seem more willing to leave baby Harlow with a sitter. And yesterday it was just the two of them enjoying the afternoon together.
First, Nicole made a quick stop into her local Beverly Hills Radio Shack store to pick up a few items before heading over to Joel’s DCMA Collective boutique on Melrose.


The only thing Nicole Richie and Joel Madden are changing these days seems to be Harlow's diaper!
For the third time in two weeks, Nicole and Joel stepped out in the same clothes they'd worn just the day before - yesterday, they revisited the clothes they wore during their adorable playdate with Harlow in the park. At least they looked cute - er, still looked cute! Nicole obviously loves her Paige jeans!
What could make Nicole and Joel want to behave like this? Might the couple be trying to stiff the paps by making their own images less attractive to magazines? If so, they're gonna have to work a little harder - after all, who could resist pix like these?
(Of course, Nicole and Joel certainly haven't escaped the attention of the press - in fact, just last night it was announced that Nicole won a Golden Pacifier award from Babytalk as one of the best moms of the year!)
What do you think?
Sure, he may rock stages all over the world while she’s on every cover of every magazine, but Joel Madden and Nicole Richie are looking more and more like a family every day.
The new parents were spotted taking a stroll with baby daughter Harlow Winter earlier today in Los Angeles, California, enjoying the beautiful spring weather.

She may not have been planning a pregnancy, but Nicole seems to be settling into motherhood quite nicely!
Nicole, still managing to look casually chic while pushing a stroller, took baby Harlow out for a stroll with daddy Joel on Sunday, the day after the duo attended Ashlee Simpson's wedding.
Think watching Ashlee walk down the aisle has given the Richie-Maddens more incentive to do the same?
Despite all those tattoos and being dressed head-to-toe in black, Joel looks pretty comfortable himself, carrying Harlow's pink blankie!
They’re setting the new trend for hip parenthood, and last night Nicole Richie and Joel Madden were spotted doing the nouveau couple thing- having sushi.
The “Simple Life” cutie and her Good Charlotte beau headed over to their favorite sushi spot, Sushi Park in West Hollywood, looking happy and hungry.
There’s trouble in paradise for Nicole Richie and baby daddy Joel Madden. Though to be fair, it doesn’t exactly sound like Nicole has considered her life to be like paradise for a while. Nonetheless, you’ve got to ask yourself, what kind of a trampy, trashy, harlot skank would come between a new father and the mother of his child? Why none other than Nicole Richie’s “supposed” good friend, Lindsay Lohan. Leave it to the Lohan to be the skankiest person in any given situation.
While Nicole Richie was home caring for her baby, her fiancé Joel Madden spent a boozy night partying with Lindsay Lohan. Needless to say, Nicole was crushed. The trouble started for the new mom after she decided to stay home with their 4-month-old daughter, Harlow, while Joel deejayed at Hornitos’ Cinco de Mayo party at Crown Bar in L.A. However, while there, the Good Charlotte rocker seemed more interested in a seductive Lindsay than in spinning records.
“Their heads were practically touching, and he had his leg over hers,” says one onlooker. “Joel has a flirtatious side, and he definitely wasn’t turning her away.” Nicole was immediately alerted to the situation by her arch-frenemy Paris Hilton, who sent her a devastating text message: Lindsay was all over Joel!
Making the situation worse, Nicole frantically tried to call Joel, but he wasn’t answering his phone. “He was so zeroed in on Lindsay, he never heard his cell ring,” a friend of the couple tells Star. “Nicole felt so incredibly helpless and upset that she threw her phone against the wall in a rage.”

It sounds like it could be friendly or somewhat innocent behavior on Joel’s part, but I never assume Lindsay Lohan has good intentions. That troll lives for drama. And what’s more dramatic than breaking up the relationship between your good friend – who just had a baby a few months ago – and her boyfriend? And what the hell else does Lohan have to do these days? Her career is nonexistent. She spends most of her days getting her hair done and making her body look orange. I don’t really like Nicole Richie, but I hope she throws a shit fit and bans Lohan from her life.
Here’s Amy Joel Madden and Benji Madden at Hornitos Tequila celebration of the ultimate ‘Cinco de Mayo’ experience at Crown Bar where the flirtation took place. Header of Joel and Nicole not looking too happy on May 9th. Images thanks to WENN.
Keeping themselves busy the past few days, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden were spotted taking their daughter Harlow for a walk near Joel’s home in Glendale, California on Saturday morning (May 10).
Nicole, who was once known as one of the wildest party girls in Hollywood, has really cleaned up her act since the birth of her first child, stating that “having a baby really changes your focus.”
Following a morning coffee run with baby Harlow, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden headed on over to Siren Studios in Hollywood on Friday afternoon (May 9).
And soon enough, Paris Hilton and Benji Madden made a grand arrival - hitting the studio so the dolled up heiress could partake in a new ad campaign shoot.
As they grow more comfortable with their role as parents, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden look more and more like the beginnings of a really cool family.
The “Simple Life” chick and her rockstar fiancé were spotted doing the domestic thing this morning, stopping by their local Starbucks for coffee with their newborn daughter Harlow in tow.
What, you thought Nicole Richie's photo shoot with Harlow for Harper's Bazaar would be all pix and no dish? Guess again - the mag sat down with the celebutante and got one of her most candid interviews yet!
Mostly, as you might expect, she spoke about what her life's like now that she's a proud mother. She really stressed her newfound responsibility, mentioning that she'd been "nervous" the day before Harlow's pictures appeared on the cover of magazines. "I was just being a protective mom," she said. "If I didn't put a picture out, it would have been 10 times worse."
Of course, motherhood isn't all stress - in fact, Nicole says it's almost second nature! "Everyone talks about how difficult [motherhood] is in the first three months, but I absolutely love it... Every single thing is for Harlow. Joel took me out last week, and he was like, ‘Why don’t we go out and have a shopping day?’ But I ended up only going to kid stores…I didn’t get to buy shoes or anything.”
When it comes to marriage, however, she made it clear that she and Joel won't be getting married anytime soon. "One day, yeah - not tomorrow, not today," she told the mag. "We are committed to our family. I'm 26. I've definitely had a very eventful year. So right now, it's about me enjoying my time with my daughter."
Still, things between Joel and Nicole couldn't be better - "He’s never tried to change me. And if anything, we were friends first. We just have fun together. When we’re apart, we just get on iChat and don’t even say anything to each other…He likes to get girly sometimes. But he’d kill me if he knew I said that.”
And, of course, Harper's had to bring up her old friend Paris - and whether she'd be the next celebutante to find herself in a family way. Nicole's response? “Ha, nooo…But I don’t think anyone would have bet on me.”
Don't Nicole and Harlow look beautiful together?
Enjoying the mild weather last night, Joel Madden (NOT wearing a DCMA Collective shirt for the first time in a long time) and Nicole Richie made their way around Beverly Hills.
They stopped into Stella McCartney’s boutique for a screening party, and as they left the paparazzi got a few shots of the new parents looking a bit glum.
For last night’s Cinco De Mayo celebration, Paris Hilton had not one, but two Madden brothers to hang with.
The happy trio was spotted at the Hornitos Tequila Ultimate Cinco De Mayo Experience at Crown Bar in Los Angeles, California.

Lindsay Lohan and Joel Madden at the Hornitos’ Cinco De Mayo Party
Lindsay Lohan was spotted “cozying up” to Nicole Richie’s boyfriend Joel Madden last night at the Hornitos’ Cinco De Mayo Party at Crown Bar in Hollywood. God damn she is insatiable. Joel’s has a 3-month-old at home and she’s still all over him. At least let his kid’s skull fuse. Trust me Lindsay, he will eventually get bored with Nicole and then you can work your magic and give him herpes. In a related subject, what do you think can fit more dudes inside of it? Lindsay’s vagina or a clown car? I’m leaning towards Lindsay’s vag — rumor is it’s so deep you need to leave a breadcrumb trail to find your way out.

Sure, she may have given birth to baby Harlow three months ago, but that’s not stopping Nicole Richie from looking absolutely fabulous. And she showed off her slim and sexy form during a shopping spree yesterday.
The “Simple Life” babe and her Good Charlotte rockstar beau Joel Madden were spotted out and about in West Hollywood spending money like it was going out of style.

Although we'd never doubt their affection for each other, we still kinda think that Nicole Richie and Joel Madden make for a crazy pair - just look at the way they shop!
Yesterday, we caught Nicole and Joel stopping by the DCMA Collective to do a little shopping. DCMA is, of course, owned in part by Joel, but still - does Nicole strike you as the kind of girl to go for skater chic?
Yeah, us either - which was why we were tickled pink to see the diminutive diva drag Joel over to Diane Von Furstenberg to look for something for herself! Now that's the Nicole we know!
They may be different...
...but opposites attract!
Billy Joel’s 5th studio release, The Stranger, is celebrating its 30th year and Legacy Recordings is giving the CD some much deserved special treatment on July 8th!
The limited deluxe edition of “The Stranger” includes a CD of the original album, in its entirety, remastered by producer Phil Ramone; a CD of a previously unreleased concert featuring Billy and his band, “Live At Carnegie Hall 1977,” recorded at the historic Manhattan venue on June 3, 1977, one month prior to the sessions for “The Stranger” album and newly restored for the new editions of “The Stranger”; and a DVD showcasing two live promotional videos from “The Stranger” and the long-awaited release of Billy’s fabled appearance on the BBC’s “Old Grey Whistle Test,” a seldom-seen sixty minute cavalcade from 1978 that has aired only once on the UK’s BBC2.
Rounding out the limited deluxe edition of “The Stranger - 30th Anniversary” package is a 48 page booklet with liner notes from Rolling Stone senior editor David Fricke and a multitude of photos, including never-before-seen images from the original photo shoot for the album.
That is a must for Billy Joel fans, I know I can’t wait.
Now I know Billy Joel is more of an East Coast thing, but here is the track listing for The Stranger. You have to admit he had some really memorable and enjoyable tracks on that CD and even you will be saying you love him just the way he is!

Heading out on a short road trip sans Harlow, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden turned up at a party in Palm Desert, California on Saturday afternoon (April 26).
The former Simple Life star accompanied her Good Charlotte rocker beau to the shindig, where Joel performed the always-important DJ duties.
