It’s a boy for Nicole Richie and Joel Madden! A 7-pound, 14-ounce Sparrow James Midnight Madden was born in the morning of September 9, 2009. The couple’s first child, baby girl Harlow Kate, will be turning two next year.

It looks like the stars are aligned for their second baby. According to ancient Chinese beliefs, the date 9/9/9 is considered extremely lucky. It’s no wonder high-rolling gamblers flocked to the casinos, while hundreds of couples tied the knot on this auspicious date.

In China, the number 9 means “longevity,” making it a triple threat, or better yet, triple treat this year. According to numerologist and radio host Jerome Carter, 9/9/9 is an incredible date to be born on. “That child will be born with a special gift. He or she will have a direct link to the mysteries of God and life,” he told ABCNews.com. “He or she has potential to be a world leader.”

As for the baby’s name, baby name expert Pamela Redmond Satran revealed that bird names are “in” for Hollywood parents this year. “Bird names are definitely getting hotter,” Satran told usmagazine.com. She also revealed that bird names represent a spiritual symbolism. “They’re seen as light, one with the sky and nature and in a more uplifting, positive way than other animals, like a fox, which is more macho. Nicole Richie is a free spirit.”

Luck definitely has begun for the newborn. A-list celebrities such as Ashlee Simpson and Gwen Stefani have flocked to the hospital to welcome her to the world. Dad Joel Madden even tweeted:

“1st day of his life & my son is already a trending topic on twitter. That’s right son, ur just like your old man. wait, i’ve never been a #TT.”

Congratulations, Nicole and Joel!

Here’s one Madden who seems to be very much wanted. While Benji Madden has been denied by one woman after the other, Joel Madden has been together with Nicole Richie for a while now. Indeed, they are so together that they are expecting another baby! Congratulations to the couple.

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden’s daughter is a rocker! She likes nursery rhymes, but her favorite is The Cure. Joel is definitely proud of her musical tastes. Her playlist includes “a lot of Disney stuff and classical. She likes Good Charlotte. And she likes her granddad [Lionel Richie]’s music. She likes old stuff.” She even moves to the music, kicking her legs.

Just a few months old, and an MTV fan already?

Congratulations, Nicole Ritchieand Joel Madden!

The two welcomed their baby girl, who they named Harlow Winter Kate Madden, at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

The baby girl wweighed 6 pounds, 7 ounces and was declared healthy (a small miracle considered her mom drank and smoked for several weeks before she discovered she was pregnant).

Richie’s rep said, “The beautiful healthy baby girl left the hospital with her ecstatic parents.”

Congratulations, Nicole Richie
and Joel Madden! The two welcomed their baby girl, Harlow Winter Kate Madden, on January 11. She was 6 pounds and 7 ounces.

The baby was born at Cedars Sinao Medical Center. So far both mom and baby are doing well (considering her mom was drinking and smoking for several weeks before she found out about the pregnancy…)

Not that the socialite was really revealing anything new, but Nicole Richie finally came clean about her pregnancy in an exclusive interview with Diane Sawyer.

Richie sat down with Sawyer with her baby daddy Good Charlotte singer Joel Madden, who looked supportive throughout the interview I might add.   

The baby bump interview will air Thursay on “Good Morning America” as well as Friday on “20/20″ in case you missed it due to “The Office.”

As for Richie’s soon to be stint in the slammer, Richie revealed, “I have a responsibility and it’s something that I did wrong, and if I could personally apologize to every single person that has lost a loved one from drunk driving I would.”

“And unfortunately I can’t, but this is my way of paying my dues and taking responsibility and being an adult.”

Well, maybe there is hope for this unborn child after all….

You know, it’s always nice to hear when celebrity parents are supportive of their children.  With Nicole Richie’s baby on the way, along with her DUI trial set for July 11, this little socialite has a lot on her plate as of late.

But daddy Lionel Richie doesn’t seem to be out of sorts regarding his daughter, who revealed that Nicole continues to apologize for her actions to her father, saying ”she keeps apologizing to me. I told her ‘You’re doing exactly what you’re supposed to be doing to your father at this age.”

Ten points for Lionel! 

“There’s just so much information out there right now — MySpace, cell phones, the Internet. If we had had all that when The Commodores were around, God only knows what my mother and father would have seen,” Lionel went on to say.

So, it looks like the father of Nicole’s baby, Joel Madden, will be coming into a very supportive & loving family.  Wonder how it will all work out in the end….

Sorry, let this one slip by me on the holiday Wednesday.  It looks like the rumors have finally been confirmed.

Skinny minney Nicole Richie IS pregnant with Good Charlotte frontman Joel Madden’s baby.  The two have been dating for a little over six months, and more than likely didn’t plan this little bit of heaven on the way.

So, not only is Nicole picking out a wedding dress for a shotgun wedding, the socialite is also probably wondering what it’s going to be like to actually eat something.   It’s going to be so strange to see Nicole when she starts showing, maybe then she’ll look almost normal!

Wowzers, this has been a big week for socialite Nicole Richie.  Not only is the sillyhead pleading not guilty to that DUI charge back in December, she is also looking for a place to shack up with current boyfriend Joel Madden from Good Charlotte.

On Tuesday Richie entered a plea of not guilty on a charge from December of driving under the influence.  I’m not so sure that was a smart move, especially after those pictures surfaced.  We’ll have to watch this one & see how it turns out.

On top of making bad legal decisions, Richie has decided to move in with her current boy toy, Joel Madden, who she has been dating for just a little over three months.  Great job in sticking together that long, you two lovebirds!

Apparently Richie & Madden are looking for homes in Los Angeles where the two can spend more time together. 

An insider states, ”Nicole hasn’t moved in with him yet…but they are looking at places.”

Well, wishing the happy couple luck as the search for the perfect welcome mat.
