Are Nicole Richie & Joel Madden Expecting A Baby Boy?

'In Touch Weekly' magazine suggests that they are
Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

In Touch Weekly magazine is reporting today that Nicole Richie and Joel Madden, who are expecting the birth of their second child this year, are preparing for the arrival of a bouncing baby … BOY! Of course, none of this is confirmed by the couple themselves but In Touch claims to have sources that have dished to the mag about the sex of the couple’s incubating baby … here is the report:


Nicole Richie and Joel Madden are already the proud parents of an adorable 16-month-old daughter, Harlow, and now, they’re getting ready for the arrival of a bouncing baby boy in August, a friend tells In Touch. “Joel bought water-based paint for the nursery and — surprise, surprise — it’s blue,” reveals another pal of the couple, who adds that Nicole refers to the baby as “he.” “Plus, she recently ordered some plush animals and infant toys from FAO Schwarz, and everything just happens to be blue.”

Now, I don’t really believe anything until I hear confirmation from the folks involved but … if this blue paint thing is true then I would say that is a pretty good indicator of what’s going on ;) No matter what the sex of the baby is, there is no doubt it is going to be the cutest thing ever. Harlow Winter is already the reigning cutest baby in all of Hollywood babydom … I’m sure she wouldn’t mind ruling with an equally adorable sibling.

The Cast Of ‘24’ Previews The Season 7 Finale, Launches The DVD

The following took place between 6:30PM and 7:30PM
Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

Kiefer Sutherland, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Carlos Bernard and more were on hand at the Wadsworth Theater here in LA last night for a preview screening of the season finale of 24 (which airs on FOX next Monday night) and a launch event for the DVD release of Season 7 (which hits stores next Tuesday). Here are a few pics from the red carpet arrivals at last night’s event:


It PAINS me to reveal that I was graciously invited to attend this event last night but due to my previous engagement in Anaheim, I was unable to attend. I’m so happy to see that most of the cast came out for the event … including Glenn Morshower who plays the amazing Secret Serviceman Aaron Pierce on the show. He is my fave non-main character on the show. It’s really cool that the entire season of the show will be released on DVD the day after the finale airs … I really hate waiting months to get the DVDs after the season ends. This season started out a bit slow, IMHO, but it really picked up about 4 eps in … it’s been a great ride and it all ends next week. I’m still trying to get over the fact that Tony Almeida was a bad guy gone good gone bad. He is such a great character … I’m sure there will be a showdown with Jack Bauer soon (next week??). 24 remains one of my fave shows and I’m bummed that it’s ending next week … but it is of great comfort that the show has been renewed for at least 2 more seasons to come.

Lindsay Lohan Pops Up In France, Tries To Find Herself

Jetsets with little sister Ali, explains that she "lost" herself with Samantha
Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

Lindsay Lohan, who has been jetting around North America in the past few weeks, has made her way to France this week with little homeschooled sister Aliana Lohan in tow (who, clearly, must be such a successful scholastic that she is able to take time away from her studies to accompany her big sister on trips around the world when she should be in school). In a new interview with Closer magazine, Lindsay explains that she likes the way she looks (ie. she doesn’t believe she is too skinny) and reveals that she is now friends with ex-girlfriend Samantha Ronson … she also confesses that she “lost” herself in Sam and is now looking to find herself again. Here are a few pics of Linds and Ali doing some shopping in Paris yesterday and portions of her Closer magazine interview:


Lindsay Lohan has denied having an eating disorder and has spoken about her relationship with Sam Ronson. The actress has been pictured looking painfully thin since splitting up with DJ Sam and there have been rumours she has stopped eating through the upset. “I like the way I look,” the 22-year-old said. “I’m not starving myself, contrary to popular belief. I’m criticised when I’m too heavy or too thin.” Lindsay broke up with girlfriend Sam – sister of Mark Ronson – just last month but maintains they are still close. “We’re friends. I lost myself a bit with Sam, like many people do when they’re in a relationship,” she continued. “I want to be on my own for a while. I need to care about myself now. I didn’t get into this business to be a celebrity. I’ve been a target for a long time.” She is even considering a move to London because “people aren’t as judgemental”. The Mean Girls star, who has had a couple of stints in rehab for drink and drug problems, also bemoaned the way she is portrayed in the media and the effect it has on her career. “When I was a kid,” she revealed. “I thought movie stars were people who wanted to act in great movies. It’s all I ever wanted to do, but I’ve become this girl who’s seen as someone who parties, who wants to be photographed all the time, isn’t focused and can’t be on time. “That’s not true. There are other actresses my age, like Scarlett Johansson, and I don’t get the same opportunities.”

My advice for Lindsay would be that if you don’t want to be seen as a young actress who “parties, wants to be photographed all the time, isn’t focused and can’t be on time” then the first thing you have to do is not do those things. I love me some Lindsay but she is guilty of all of those things … in repeated instances. What she needs to do is not rail against the persona she has, it’s to move forward and change people’s perceptions. You can’t really undo the past by denying it … you have to prove to people that you have changed for the better. Lindsay has a long way to go to show growth and change but she can deffo do it … it just remains to be seen if she’s serious about actually changing (cleaning her home might be a good place to start). I guess we’ll have to wait and see. In the meantime, Lindsay will be shopping and mentoring her little sister … IMHO, she can’t possibly do a worse job of that than mama Dina Lohan.
