After days of snarky Hollywood gossip - of spitting, suing, unhealthy obsessions with horses etcetera, its nice to see a bit of wholesome family bonding, especially in the form of Nicole Ritchie, who, since becoming a Mom, has straightened up and become less of a shall, we say…Paris?

Anyway, Nicole was at the ASCAP awards supporting Dad, who received the lifetime achievement (is he that old?). Also there was Nicole’s baby sister, 8-year-old Sofia, Lionel’s wife with Diane Alexander.

Looks like it’s official. Paris Hilton is going around town sporting a ring with “BM” in big diamonds. The BM is Benji Madden, of course.

Benji’s ex Sophie Monk isn’t wasting time being jealous, of course. She’s hooked up with multi-millionare Jason Rubin. So how long will it be before Paris gets her hands on him?

Get a sneak peek at Nicole Ritchie’s excusive baby album at People.com

Soooooo cute!

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.”

Lovely Nicole Richie is finally filling out her favorite yellow bikini & the socialite can finally be called healthy.

Spotted beside the pool, the mom-to-be seems to be deep in thought, probably over how fast she can lose the weight after her baby is born….

But for now, Nicole, you look truly fabulous!

Good ole Paris Hilton is feeling a little left out ever since BFF Nicole Richie went & got herself knocked up. 

Hilton, who recently gave an interview to Elle magazine, has revealed that she wants kids & that she’s ready to start pushing them out as soon as next year.  Watch out, Stavros, there’s a new baby mama in town!

“I want kids next year, so I’ve got to get my body ready.”

With not only Nicole Richie’s belly getting a little bit larger, but her girly pillow as well, it’s nice that the socialite is finding time for her old girlfriends as well.

Richie was spotted grabbing a bite to eat at New York’s Mercer Kitchen on Monday with celeb pal Mischa Barton.  Barton is looking frumpy as usual, while Nicole seems to have a different air about her these days.  Guess it’s just that pregnant glow kicking in…

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!

Damn, it’s probably a good thing that Al Gore seems to be sitting out this Presidential election, what with his son being a fat druggie & all.

24-year-old Al Gore III was arrested on suspicion of drugs possession Wednesday, looks like he was going to have a fun fourth until the coppers found him driving his Prius over 100 miles an hour in Orange County.  Did anyone else think that a Prius couldn’t even dream of maintaining that kind of speed?

Anyhoo, when the cops searched his car they found some good old-fashioned weed along with Valium, Xanax, Vicodin & Adderall.  Damn, that’s a lot of drugs for one little Gore.

This isn’t Gore III first brush with the law, he was charged with marijuana possession in 2003 & was ticketed for a spot of reckless driving back in 2000 & 2002.

This probably isn’t going to go down well for the young man…. Maybe he can share a cell with pregs Nicole Richie.

A dressed-down Nicole Richie was spotted taking in the New York sites on Friday. 

The socialite, who was recently a guest on the Late Show where she told David Letterman that she’s terrified of going to jail, was seen sober & with her panties on for a change.

“Let’s glorify this day in your sluttiest tops and your tightest pair of tsubi jeans, even though we have no…clue what Memorial Day really means!!…There will be a scale at the front door. No girls over 100 pounds allowed in. Start starving yourself now. See you all then!!!”

I have to admit, I don’t think I’d make into the party, myself.

Despite continued reports that socialite Nicole Richie is in rehab once again, her rep is feverously denying these reports.

Richie’s rep stated, “She is not in rehab.”

“She is at home in Glendale. Sobriety is an ongoing process but she is sober.”

That’s pretty funny.  I mean we haven’t seen Nicole out & about recently & we automatically assume the girl’s in rehab.  Now, that’s what I call a bad reputation.

On Monday teen queen Lindsay Lohan was spotted at Hollywood hotspot Winston’s apparently channeling Daisy Duke, though not in a good way really.

The flannel-sporting actress arrived at the club holding the hand of none other than pal Nicole Richie.   It seems like Richie should have been the one to prevent LL from leaving the house looking like she’s going off to hunt coon or something.

Jeez, this is one bad Daisy Duke look, eh?

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.

Sunday afternoon was clearly a trying time for former “O.C.” star Mischa Barton. Barton had just dropped off pal Nicole Richie at a Los Angeles tanning salon when the cellulite princess got into a wreck in Richie’s Mercedes SUV. Wonder how Richie took the news…

21-year-old Mischa was clearly shaken after the incident & pulled into a gas station where the couple she literally bumped into exchanged insurance information. 

Mischa took some time to fill up Nicole’s tank, probably to soften the blow when none other than fashion mag worker Carlos Lopez saw the distressed Barton & came to lend a hand.  Now isn’t that just too friendly of that Lopez.  But I still am left wondering whether Nicole Richie still calls Mischa Barton her BFF after this little fender bender.

Thanks to Us Weekly for the scoop & the image.

Thin socialite Nicole Richie was spotted smooching on her man of the hour, Joel Madden, after a nice Sunday drive.  The couple looked rather sweet, except for the fact that Joel could eat Nicole for lunch.

Who else thinks that Nicole’s short shorts wouldn’t even fit around their head?

We all knew they would get back together, it was just a matter of time. Paris Hilton & newly-renewed BFF Nicole Richie reunited (and it feels so good) in West Hollywood’s Dan Tana’s restaurant on Sunday.

Here’s what I’m hoping: Paris can help Nicole rediscover food & Nicole can help Paris rediscover un-hoebag-like-behavior. It’s a lot to ask, but there’s always that little thing called hope.
