Nicole Richie

Nicole Richie is taking it to the courts!

Richie has filed for a restraining order against a paparazzo named Bam Bam who hit her car earlier this month.

Huh. We can't imagine anyone named Bam Bam ever running afoul of the law...

Nicole Richie was involved in a car accident today and it actually wasn't her fault, if you can believe it.

We know. She's a married woman now, a mother, and her wild days are behind her. Today she was rear-ended by a photographer who was driving without a license.

The photograher was arrested at the scene and Richie complained of pain, but didn't call an ambulence. Hopefully she's doing all right tonight!

Nicole Richie gave birth to her second baby today with daddy Joel Madden. Sparrow James Midnight Madden was born early this morning, weighing in at seven pounds, fourteen ounces.

"Nicole, Joel, Harlow and Sparrow are all doing well," the couple wrote on Richie's website today.

There’s no question which team Nicole Richie and the Madden Brothers are taking in the Ronson-Lohan breakup.

Yesterday, Benji Madden was spotted having coffee with Sam Ronson on Larchmont in LA before the two heading to the DCMA store which he and his brother Joel co-own.

In her US Weekly interview, Lindsay claims that Nicole Richie, Joel Madden’s baby mama, walked past her when she was denied access to the Ronson bash at the Chateau Marmont last Friday and said, “Uck.”

We hate when breakups force friends to choose sides and gang up on someone.

Woo woooo…

All aboard the Lohan Tragic Express!

Us Weekly’s cover this week is of sad sack Lindsay Lohan with the headline screaming ‘I AM SO ALONE.’

Inside the magazine, Lindsay describes her life as “absolute hell,” saying everyone is turning against her and at her ex-girlfriend Samantha Ronson’s party last Friday, Nicole Richie walked past her and said, “Uck,” and Drea de Mateo said, “Come at me, bitch.”

Who’s hungry for a big ol’plate of awesome?

At yesterday’s press junket for 17 Again, Adam Shankman, who produced the film, announced the FunnyorDie clip he directed last week, yes, the one that features oodles of shirtless Zac-y Pooh, is set to premiere on the website Wednesday and will be shown before 17 Again when it hits theaters on April 17th.

Zac Efron has teamed up with his lady love Vanessa Hudgens, Nicole Richie, Joel Madden, his 17 Again costar Thomas Lennon, and his Hairspray costar Queen Latifah for a video for Will Ferrell’s website FunnyOrDie.com.

Zac’s Hairspray director Adam Shankman oversaw the video which was shot at Adam’s Hollywood Hills home on Tuesday and features quite a bit of ripped, shirtless Zac and his six pack.

So far all anyone knows is Lennon (who people might recognize from Reno 911) plays Zac-y Pooh’s Uncle Hank who crashes his A-list pool party.

Nicole Richie has managed to dodge the Lauren Conrad curse, maybe because she’s actually involved and making an effort, and is expanding her fashion endeavor, House of Harlow 1960, named after her 14-month-old daughter with baby daddy Joel Madden.

Her jewelry line sold out in an online pre-sale earlier this year, before items were even able to hit shelves.

Nicole Richie and Rachel Zoe have apparently buried the hatchet.

And, surprisingly, not in each other’s backs.

Rachel, Nicole’s former stylist who some said was the reason Richie got crazy anorexic, made an appearance at the Richie-Madden Children’s Foundation event at My House in Hollywood on Monday.

And they both looked faaabulous!

A little baby weight looks so good on Nicole.

You can wear bracelets above your elbow. 

Nicole Richie, who’s pregnant with her second child, made an appearance at Kitson in West Hollywood on Sunday to promote her new jewelry line Harlow 1960 and she was twig skinny.

Give that child some nourishment, woman!

We’re loving the whole Grecian-goddess-gone-hippie look but Richie is way too skinny.

Come on, Nicole.

It’s Girl Scout cookie season, get down wit yo' bad self!
