HAS Nicole Richie replaced Benji Madden as the most important person in the life of Good Charlotte frontman Joel Madden? Sources close to Richie say she is "moving stuff out of her West Hollywood condo into his Glendale home," and Joel’s bandmate, brother, and next-door neighbor Benji is "furious." The source also said Joel and Nicole "have already become inseparable, and spend almost every night together." Richie is expected to join Madden when he deejays on New Year’s Eve at the Palms Hotel in Vegas – far from Madden’s ex, Hilary Duff, who will celebrate ‘07 at the DKNY Jeans Bash at the Setai in Miami. Richie’s rep didn’t return calls.
NICOLE Richie, facing jail for allegedly driving stoned the wrong way down a highway, has reached out to dad Lionel and asked for help – in the shape of a driver! The concerned crooner has asked his super-skinny 25-year-old adopted daughter how he can help after her run-in with the LAPD earlier this month. We’re told: "After his wild youth Lionel feels he doesn’t have a right to lecture. "He wanted to let Nicole know that if she needed anything like counselling, more rehab, he would be happy to help her. "Nicole confessed that the only thing she could think of that would help her right now was a chauffeur."
Don’t invite Nicole Richie and Hilary Duff to the same party. Duff has bad-mouthed Richie — who she thinks is a “skank,” according to Us Weekly. Joel Madden, who is dating reality show star Richie and who used to date the “Lizzie McGuire” star is apparently at the center of the friction. Madden and Duff split in November, and although Madden has been loyal to Richie, he keeps calling his ex, according to the mag, but she doesn’t return his calls. “[Duff] can’t believe he’s dating Nicole and thinks she’s a skank,” a source told Us, adding that when Duff heard about Richie’s arrest, “she asked if Nicole had been coming from Joel’s. … She kept saying she never knew Joel at all.”
Hilary needs to let him get that pent up sexual frustration out of his system and then he will want her back. That is if she wants him back? I personally think she should try dating guys her own age, but that is me…and I love Good Charlotte!
