Music lovers endure the desert conditions at Coachella festival every year to see acts like Prince and Portishead perform long, sunny sets. Celebrities probably go there for more of the same, with the option of waltzing into the VIP tents when things get too steamy. (Scarlett Johansson even sang there last year, with The Jesus and Mary Chain.)
Joel and Benji Madden of Good Charlotte weren't performing, but they both brought girlfriends Nicole Richie (with 3-month-old daughter Harlow) and Paris Hilton to Palm Springs for the weekend. (If anyone knows what the hell Joel and Nicole are doing in this photo, please let us know!)
Kelly Osborne queued up to see Kraftwerk, and Sean Penn eschewed the VIP section. And '90s star Rosanna Arquette caught '90s indie rockers the Breeders.
We can barely see Nicole Richie behind the giant white cape she used to shield 3-month-old daughter Harlow on Wednesday at LAX. Mama and baby were there to greet daddy Joel Madden who was returning from his European tour with Good Charlotte.
Seems dad really loves him some baby Harlow, and later that night at a G.C. concert he proclaimed Harlow as "my one and only true love."
Nicole was also there too but got no shoutout. Must have been hiding behind another white cape.
In the future, every famous person will be forced to do a stint on Broadway. Until then, celebs flock to it--like recent new mama Nicole Richie, who is reportedly in talks to join the cast of that evergreen revolving-stage show "Chicago."
Richie gave birth to baby Harlow just six weeks ago, but with her show "The Simple Life" canceled, she is hungry for a new project--like following in the dance steps of Brooke Shields and Ashlee Simpson in the role of Roxie Hart.
Nicole's boyfriend (and Harlow's dad) Joel Madden told Peopleon parenting, "I'm in a rock and roll band. Nicole is who she is. It's not like we had to give so much up because of the baby. It's just time to be parents." Uh, you know they rehearse for these things, right?
It's baby time! Oscar winner and "Golden Compass" villainess Nicole Kidman announced she's pregnant by country-music husband Keith Urban. Meanwhile, reality-TV star Nicole Richie is due any day now and taking her boyfriend, Joel Madden, to hypnotists to calm her pre-labor fears.
We're not in the sanctimommy business, but here are some tips for Mrs. Keith Urban as she enters this new and exciting phase: WebMD reminds you to get up and stretch your legs and drink plenty of fluids when you fly. BabyCenter.com suggests a cut-off of 36 weeks for expectant moms in the air (and some airlines may require a doctor's letter), but iVillage points out that no major studies have shown that air travel is unsafe for fetuses. So go ahead, book those flights for Memorial Day Weekend! But it never hurts to check with your doctor first since, disclaimer, we're not doctors.
Nicole Richie and her baby daddy Joel Madden had the pleasure of enduring TSA screening yesterday when they snagged a flight out of the American Airlines terminal at LAX. They even got to wait in line with everyone else!
Joel, we have to say, was wearing a great airplane outfit: sunglasses, jeans and a zip-up. (It's always good to wear layers, since you never know how cold your plane will be.) Nicole, though, needs some trip coaching: her top doesn't look too cozy. Maybe she could borrow a sweater from ScarJo?
Ah, summer, it is officially here.
With 21 miles of coastline, and constant celebrity sunbathers, Malibu is one of the most popular sunning locales in SoCal.
Malibu boasts plenty of private beaches with public access ways as well as plenty of popular public beaches.
Parking is a real bitch, but if you can swing it you may be sharing a stretch of beach with Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillipe, Carmen Electra, Brad Pitt or even Danny Devito. Yeah, they say you haven't lived until you see Danny Devito in a speedo.
Just last week, waifs Nicole Richie and Micha Barton split a stretch of SoCal beach, toweless, with gawkers, dogs, and Malibuans, er, Malibuites, um, Malibu-agoans looking on. Can't these girls afford beach towels?
