Nicole Richie has checked herself into a Los Angeles hospital. A representative for Richie [says], “Nicole has checked into Ceders Sinai where she is being treated for pneumonia. She is doing well.” Earlier this week, a Los Angeles judge has granted Richie a permanent restraining order against two celebrity photographers who she says are harassing her. Richie, 28, appeared at the court hearing Monday afternoon accompanied by her rocker partner, Joel Madden. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Carol Boas Goodson approved Richie’s petition for a three year restraining order against the paparazzi. Two weeks ago, the actress was granted a temporary restraining order after her Range Rover was rear ended at a Beverly Hills intersection, according to police. The reality T.V. actress was hurt in the crash that took place at the intersection of Wilshire Boulevard and Canon Drive on October 5th. Richie says the driver of that car, Edwardo Arrivabene, 29, and another photographer, Ivon Emilio Melo Miguel continue to follow her and her children in an attempt to take pictures of them. Arrivabene was arrested after the crash and was booked for driving without a license. His car was also impounded. Arrivabene told KTLA that he and Miguel were entirely to blame for the accident and they were sorry. He also said that he planned to pay for any and all damages. He said the crash happened when Arrivabene tried to pick up a camera that had fallen to the floor of the car. According to Richie’s court filing, the men “scream at the reality show actress” in an attempt to get a reaction from her. She says she is frightened by the harassment and is in fear for her own safety and the safety of her children. Judge Goodson granted the orders against Arrivabene and Miguel who agreed to stay 50 yards away from Richie. Miguel apologized and said he would not take pictures of her if she didn’t want him to. Both Richie and Madden say they don’t want either man to take pictures of them anymore. Judge Goodson said she was concerned about impeding the photographers’ First Amendment rights to take pictures, but issued the order after both men said they would abide by the ruling. Richie and Madden, have two children. Sparrow James Midnight Madden was born in September and Harlow turns 2 in January.

While I’m certain that Nicole’s legal woes are not to blame for her sudden illness I can imagine that the upsetting state of having to go to court to deal with all of this drama has been a drain on her mentally and physically. I understand that pneumonia can be pretty brutal so I wish her a speedy and full recovery. Here’s hoping Nicole’s stay in the hospital will be a relaxing and short one. Get well soon, Nicole!!

As you can see, Nic/Joel did not bring along their newborn baby boy Sparrow James to enjoy the pumpkin picking fun … but it looks like a fun time was had by all. They are just so cute! I wonder if we’re gonna be able to see what Harlow is dressing up as for Hallowe’en.

Six weeks after welcoming their first son, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden – along with their 21-month-old daughter Harlow – are showing off the latest addition to their family, Sparrow James Midnight Madden. “I couldn’t be happier,” Richie tells PEOPLE. “The only thing you want is for your kids to be healthy and happy, and they are. I’m right where I belong.” In an interview at their home in Laurel Canyon in Los Angeles, Richie, 28, and Madden, 30, her boyfriend and front man of the band Good Charlotte, say they are deprived of sleep, but grateful their daughter Harlow is now fawning over a baby brother. “I’m glad I had a girl before I had a boy,” says Richie. “She just loves him so much.” Adds the children’s proud papa, “She’s very gentle with him.”

I believe this issue of People is on newsstands now and features more of this coverstory interview (including the decision to name their baby boy Sparrow, how Richie’s second pregnancy was different from her first, and how she’s losing her baby weight) and features more photos of Sparrow and the entire happy family. After the jump, check out one of the photos of the Richie-Maddens included in this issue of People magazine …

Man-o-man … look at how cute they are. As Harlow Winter gets older she looks more and more like Nicole … and little Sparrow looks so much like his father Joel Madden. They are just … precious. At last … we get to see what this new little guy looks like … and he’s a doll.

It’s pretty amazing how little Harlow just keeps getting cuter and cuter by the second. I understand daddy Joel Madden was working in Las Vegas, NV over the weekend so Nicole got to spend some alonetime with the kiddies. While I’m sure the little duckies were a cute sight to see, I think I’d much rather see a Sparrow when next Nicole (or Joel, for that matter) takes Harlow out for a playdate. As you can see, newborn baby boy Sparrow James didn’t come along on this park excursion … so we’re still waiting for Nic/Joel to give us our first look at their baby boy. I’m sure we’ll be seeing him soon enough … in the meantime, superadorable photos of Harlow Winter will just have to do ;)

You may recall that this isn’t even the first time we’ve seen her out and about since she gave birth … Nicole was spotted with Harlow just last Thursday (about one week after she popped). She looks fabulous … Harlow looks adorable … but, HELLO! I think it’s time we got a peek at little Sparrow James already. Here’s hoping Nicole, daddy Joel Madden and BOTH of their little darlings venture out for a family outing into the wild soon ;)

Yesterday we saw new photos of new dad Joel Madden out and about for the first time since his son Sparrow James Midnight was born last week and earlier today we saw a few more … but I did not expect that we’d be seeing Nicole out and about so soon after giving birth … and shopping in Beverly Hills, CA no less! Clearly, Nicole as got the whole giving birth thing down … she pops ‘em out and gets right back to her routine. I’m dying at how cute Harlow Winter is … Nic/Joel make some cute babies. I cannot WAIT to see the fruits of their latest labor.

It won’t be long now before Nic/Joel welcome the birth of their newest little addition to the family (will it be a boy? will it be a girl?) so I’m sure they’re doing all they can to enjoy as much time together as a threesome as they can before the new baby takes center stage. It’s so insane to think that Harlow Winter is about to become a big sister … it feels like she was just born yesterday. I’m just so happy for the Richie-Madden family … they seem so happy and are deffo so in love with one another. I predict that they won’t stop at just 2 babies ;) Aren’t they just the cutest?

OMG … she is SO CUTE … totally adorable. When Larry says hello to her she waves back with her fingers!! Cute! Nicole brought Harlow out for the last portion of the interview, when she was talking about the Richie-Madden Children’s Foundation. After the jump, check out the full video of Lionel, Nicole and Harlow’s appearance on the Larry King Live show …

If you just want to skip to the Harlow portion of the interview, she appears at the 20 minute mark … otherwise, here is the full Richie interview video:

I believe Nicole and Lionel’s ep of Larry King Live will air tomorrow night and, unfortch, little Miss Harlow will not get any airtime … fortunately we have these photos to make up for the loss. Just when I thought Harlow couldn’t get any cuter, she goes and outdoes herself. Those little hair puffs?? Adorable!! Ain’t she the cutest thing ever??

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.
