OK, I know this is for a good cause, but I can't help but be amused by Nicole and Joel (Hey, that rhymes!) using their most concerned voices while they read their cues off a card with about as much charisma as a manila folder. The new parents sat down to film a PSA for UNICEF in light of the recent destruction taking place in Myanmar.
But seriously, these two reportedly "dropped everything so they could record it," which has aroused my curiosity. What exactly did Nicole drop? Her baby? You know she tossed that kid like last season's shoe as soon as her attention was diverted.
Some of these pictures are way too much. That baby looks like it's wondering just what the hell it got born into. Nicole Richie looks like she accidentally got knocked up by the developmentally challenged gardener and is trying to pass his ass off as functional. Here's Nicole and father to her baby Joel Madden posing all over Harper's Bazaar. Nicole's dad Lionel Richie is in on the action, too.
Nicole is all jazzed about being a Mom (when she actually sees her child). She says that the one thing she doesn't do is change diapers. She leaves that to the baby's father.
"It's his time with her. He sings to her. ... He laughs with her, plays with her. It's amazing," she says. Well, I'm glad someone's actually interacting with that child.
Nicole says the very presence of their child Harlow has supposedly caused her friends to tone down their trashy behavior.
"I feel like my group of five to 10 friends, they really love her, like she's theirs ... My friends never go outside for smoke breaks anymore, they don't curse, they are definitely more demure. It's actually been really interesting," she says.
Yeah, I'm sure Paris Hilton has stopped spreading her legs for every Tom, Dick, and Harry just because you gave birth. She may have curbed her smoking but I still wouldn't let her near the baby unless she boils herself first.
More photos from Harper's Bazaar of Nicole Richie, Joel Madden, Harlow with Lionel Richie after the jump.
Joel Madden is enjoying his bachelor father days. Granted he is taken by Nicole Richie, his babymama, but still. When is he going to make an honest woman out of her?
The twin only said "Not anytime soon," when asked by Us Magazine.
Joel Madden surprised Nicole Richie by whisking her and baby Harlow away to check out the Coachella Music Festival this weekend. Because what better place is there for a three and a half month old child than among thousands of people stomping around high in the California desert to loud rock music? Infants love that shit. F*ck the Wiggles!
"I [rented] a house and surprised Nicole with a weekend trip because she likes Coachella. She was like, 'I really want to go!' So I surprised her. We brought the baby," Madden told the press. He said that Nicole "hasn't been able to do a whole lot over the year," so he gifted her with a trip. Uh, everywhere I turn there's photos of her out and about, at parties and getting lunch. So does he mean she's been distracted by nanny-hiring? That can tire a bitch out.
Seriously, if she wasn't an heiress and he wasn't in a mildly successful rock band, they would be living in a one bedroom apartment fighting over why he's always going off with his friends to work on their hot rods and how she's always stuck with the baby.
Joel's brother Benji and his partner in gross Paris Hilton were also on the premises. When asked, Joel said that it would probably be he and Nicole getting married first because they're "the ones with the baby." Also, Benji isn't quite sure he wants to subject his penis to that for a lifetime just yet.
Whorish ostrich Paris Hilton has denied reports that she is planning some kind of terrible Brady Bridesdouble wedding mess with her boyfriend Benji Madden and her best friend and Benji's brother Nicole Richie and Joel Madden. Can you imagine all the douche at that affair? One wedding cake bomb and we'd have to shut this site down. Let me weigh the pros and cons.
Paris said no to the rumors of the double wedding, but added that she and Benji are "really happy right now" at the Belvedere Vodka "Jagger Dagger" party Monday night. They just returned from a Good Charlotte world tour in which Paris busted her face in Prague and tried to buy a cheetah. They are celebrating their two-month anniversary.
"It's great," she said. "I think the way it works so well is that we're best friends and we totally trust each other and we're in love and we have an amazing time together," she says about their relationship.
Best friends? You've been slapping and tickling for two months! Best friends? You won't be ignored, Dan? The homelier Madden brother better watch his ass. There's no telling how deep that cavernous vagina goes. He could get stuck and never return to civilization.
Or it could be some The Ruins-type shit and the natives won't let him out so he can infect the rest of the populace. Good plan.
The latest gossip surrounding Paris Hilton's relationship with rocker Benji Madden is that the heiress is hoping for a double-date style wedding with long-time on-again, off-again frenemy bride-to-be Nicole Richie. Even though it seems unlikely, given the fact that she and Madden haven't officially announced an engagement, an inside source revealed that her motivation is fueled by visions of dollar signs dancing in her head.
The tipster told Page Six, "It's a publicity stunt, just like everything else," and indicated that Hilton is hoping to make a millions in possible wedding photos, claims that her rep staunchly denies.
Meanwhile, are cell phones getting all that much smaller, or does this woman really have incredibly large hands? Seriously, that thing is a friggin' blackberry and her man hands are all but swallowing it up in this picture. You can shave off the Adam's apple and dress up all you want, but it's always the hands that will give you away, hon.
Nicole Richie, seen here successfully hiding her mug, has officially started making plans to wed longtime boyfriend Joel Madden. The two have a new daughter, Harlow, and together decided that they would get married after, not before her birth.
OK! Magazine reports that the two plan to tie the knot very soon, after a friend of the couple said the two will say their vows this coming summer.
Invitations are reportedly going out this week. Everything is planned except for what the wedding party will wear to the long-awaited ceremony, thanks to a celeb party planner.
Nicole will have 8 bridesmaids. It is not confirmed if on-and-off-again BFF Paris Hilton will be one, but I can already picture her as the maid of honor and her boyfriend Benji the man of honor since he is Joel's twin. So cute I could barf.
Start preparing yourself now for photos from the inevitable crazy bachelorette party.

Harlow lives! Here's Nicole Richie with baby Harlow at a kid's party in Beverly Hills. Seriously, you never see this chick with her kid. I'm glad she figured out where all that crying was coming from and finally went to investigate.
"Joel, what's this? Baby? Uh, oh wait...you mean when I was fat and then went to the hospital and got the fat removed? That was a baby? It's mine? Oh. Well, what do I do with it? I don't know. Do you think 'My Super Sweet 16' is on?"
Tobey Maguire's wife Jennifer Meyer and daughter were in the house, as well. Now THAT'S a couple who doesn't forget to let their baby get sunlight every once in awhile.
Here's Nicole Richie heading to Mo's with a friend on Shapeless Dress Day. You know, she gave birth fairly recently and I rarely see her pushing a stroller. I know Moms don't need to be chained to their kids, but does she even know what it looks like? Harlow is sad because Mommy doesn't like her new accessory!
Nicole is busy designing a new jewelry line, which will be produced by Mouawad. They produce Heidi Klum's jewelry line. She's excited because this new gig reminds her to acknowledge her kid.
"Everyone's been really mellow and able to work around my schedule. If I need to go feed the baby, I do it," she says.
"Need to?!?" Yes, babies need food. Jesus. In addition to the jewelry venture, Nicole is also planning on producing a children's clothing line and a fragrance. Harlow should try out to be a model for the children's clothing so Nicole will finally pay attention to her. At this point, Nicole might show up for her high school graduation if she's not too busy.
