Actress and recent-mom Nicole Richie has filmed her part as a guest-star on the upcoming NBC show Chuck.  Nicole is in a fight scene and even got to tote a gun and point it at people.

Former party girl Nicole Richie is slowly getting back to work after giving birth to baby Harlow at the beginning of the year. She has been busy with the her own jewelry line and baby clothing line but Nicole still had time to guest star on NBC’s spy series Chuck.

Motherhood has been good to Nicky.  She seems a lot more mature and grown up.  And you never know, her career might really blossom due to that.

Nicole Richie lost more weight today at one time than she ever has in her life before.  Richie and husband-to-be Joel Madden are the parents of a brand new baby girl.

Nicole Richie has given birth today at Cedars Sinai in Los Angeles. She had a baby girl, and she and beau Joel Madden have named her Harlow Winter Kate Madden, and she weighed 6 lbs., 7 oz.

Congrats to Nicole, Joel and Grandpa Lionel!

Paris Hilton has told PEOPLE magazine that she wants to have babies so she can have play dates with on-again/off-again best bud Nicole Richie.  Richie is expecting her first child with rocker Joel Madden in January 2008.

Nicole and I have been playing together since we were two years old,” she told PEOPLE at the Nissan Live Sets One Year Anniversary Party. “I was just telling her, ‘I want a baby so that our babies can play together.’”

Still, Hilton admits, she has a few things to take care of first – like finding a man! “I don’t have a boyfriend right now,” the Simple Life star insisted. “But I would love to start a family.”

I have never been a fan of mandatory birth control but my beliefs are quickly changing.

Nicole Richie, pregnant with boyfriend Joel Madden’s baby, had her celeb baby shower yesterday in Beverly Hills. A baby shower thrown in part by Paris Hilton is so amusing on so many levels.

About 90 people attended the Beverly Hills shower, organized by celebrity party planner Mindy Weiss, hosted by Richie’s mother Brenda, and thrown by her sister Sophia and friends Paris Hilton and Masha Gordon.

And while Richie has not revealed whether she’s having a boy or a girl, some of the gifts offered a clue.

From NoMi boutique in L.A., guests picked up a pair of $50 baby sneakers for a boy, and a $50 Tummy T Jack maternity shirt with a picture of a boy on the front.

Anyone taking bets on the odds of Nicole naming the lil’ one something normal?

Pregnancy and an overcrowded jail got Nicole Richie out of the pen after only serving 82 minutes behind bars.

Accompanied by her lawyer and boyfriend Joel Madden, the five-months pregnant Richie entered the jail in Lynwood, Calif., at 3:15 p.m. for booking, listed at 5′1″ and 105 lbs. She was processed into the system and released at 4:37 p.m., a sheriff’s statement said.

“Miss Richie was cooperative during the process,” the statement said.

The statement said she was released “based on her sentence and federal court guidelines.” Under the current sheriff’s policy, non-violent female offenders sentenced to 30 days or less are booked and released within 12 hours.

Richie was “treated in the same manner as other inmates with a similar sentence,” the statement said.

This is the right call in this situation.  You don’t want women that are harmless and four months pregnant in an overcrowded jail.  If she happened to lose the baby while locked up, it wouldn’t be good at all.

She will be on probation for three years.  So she will have to be on her best behavior or she will get the Hilton treatment next time around.

If you can believe what rockers say to their crowds during concerts then we can believe that Good Charlotte’s Joel Madden popped the big question to Nicole Richie.  It would be the third big event in Nicole’s life this year: pregnancy, jail, and engagement.

Sources who attended the Hot 99.5 concert last night featuring Good Charlotte at the Clarendon Ballroom tell us Joel told the crowd he had just proposed to his jail-bound baby mama on Thursday.

Congrats to Joel, Nicole and the baby in the carriage!

Regis Philbin on Regis and Kelly accidentally leaked it that Good Charlotte rocker Joel Madden has bought an engagement ring for his pregnant girlfriend Nicole Richie. (see the video here)

“You’re going to present her, maybe, with – did I hear the right thing, or should I not even talk about this?” said Philbin.

“Uh, what?” deadpanned Madden.

“A little ring, or something,” said Philbin.

“I was hoping it would be a surprise, but now –” answered Madden.

Madden’s reaction quickly forced Philbin spin on his heel and ask the frontman’s identical twin (and the band’s lead guitarist), Benji, whom he was dating.

Way to go Regis! Nice fumble! Hopefully your Irish will do a better job holding onto the football this fall than you did with Joel’s info.

Nicole Richie will serve her jail term at the same prison, Lynwood, where former BFF Paris Hilton servered her 23 day sentence.

Richie had the option of serving her 90 hours at a “private jail.” These facilities are nicer than Lynwood, for sure, but there’s a downside. When an inmate does time at a private facility, they must serve out the entire sentence. At Lynwood, the Sheriff could turn a 4-day sentence into a revolving door, because of the overcrowding problem.

Even if Nicole didn’t go in and out, she would do much less than 4 days. She could enter Lynwood late one evening (as Paris did) and she’d get credit for an entire day. On top of that, there’s “good time” credit that would shave a significant portion of the sentence.

So it looks like Nicole could serve possibly just one full day in the slammer.

It has finally been confirmed.  Nicole Richie told Diane Sawyer in an interview to air later this week on ABC that she is in fact pregnant.

“Yes I am. We are. I’m almost four months,” she tells ABC News’ Diane Sawyer in a new interview airing on Good Morning America Thursday and on 20/20 Friday.

Richie, 25, confirms that the baby’s father is rocker boyfriend Joel Madden, 28, whom she’s been dating since earlier this year.

It will be the first child for both Nicole and Joel.  Hopefully Nicole will get the proper nutrition and have a healthy child.  She has the potential to be a great mother.

Richie agreed last week to a plea deal to serve four days in jail for her second DUI offense.

Socialite Nicole Richie has been sentenced to four days in jail in connection with her second DUI arrest.

A court commissioner sentenced Richie to serve four days in the City or County Jail (her choice!) — she got credit for a fifth day, for the six hours she served after being busted.

Richie was also fined $2,048, was ordered back to school for 21 days to an alcohol education course and on three years probation.

Richie must report to serve her time by September 28.

She is due in January with her first child.  Her fiance Joel Madden accompanied her to the courthouse proceedings.

Nicole Richie is admitting her guilt over her second DUI and will serve jail time since it was her second conviction.

Sources tell TMZ Richie will plead either guilty or no contest to DUI. She will appear before the Court Commissioner, who will sentence her on the spot. Sources say Richie will receive a minimum sentence of five days in jail. By law, anyone with two DUI convictions must serve at least five days. This conviction will be Nicole’s second DUI.

Richie appears to want to put the arrest behind her so she can focus on her pregnancy.  She and boyfriend Joel Madden are expecting their first child together.

TMZ has confirmed that reality TV star Nicole Richie is pregnant.  The father is said to be Good Charlotte singer Joel Madden.

The starlet has been dating Good Charlotte frontman Joel Madden for over six months. Rumors have been swirling for months that Richie and Madden were expecting, but TMZ has confirmed through several sources that she is, in fact, with child. In Touch magazine is also reporting that the couple will wed this summer.

Richie is currently facing DUI charges stemming from her arrest last December, when she was found driving the wrong way on a California highway.

Richie could double in weight if she carries the baby full term.  Congrats to Nicole and Joel!

I ran into Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie while out last week in Los Angeles. As you can see they are living the simple life. I had my camera and they were willing to pose so I thought I would post it.

I actually ran into these chimpanzees at the Los Angeles Zoo. But I guess that is sort of a prison for animals as well. So I am sure Paris the Chimp felt right at home. Nicole the Chimp was able to meet all of her dietary requirements as well.

Kristin Cavallari is by no means fat, but Nicole Richie sure makes her look a bit on the rotund side of the scale at the Australia’s MTV Video Awards in Sydney.

I had thought Nicky had been looking a bit better health wise.  Hopefully she will continue to have and get the support she needs to beat the thin demons in her head.

Be sure to check out the original post about Bumpshack’s Hollywood March Madness. The competition was a bit better on day two of our tournament. Check out the results at the bottom of this post. Be sure to vote in today’s match-ups to see who will advance to round two. Here are the results of who moves on to the next round of our tournament to determine who is Hollywood’s Craziest Celebrity.

Today you will be voting to decide the crazier of the two between Paris Hilton v. Nicole Richie in our women’s match. In our men’s game it will be Brandon Davis v. Michael Jackson.

In what could be the most competitive game to date in the tournament Paris Hilton (5) will battle Nicole Richie (4) in a contest between the former best friends to decide who is screwier in the head. Some say Hilton is the reason Britney Spears went off the deep end. Nicole Richie has been in and out of rehab and her ramblings often bring her mental stability into question. Vote and decide which Simple Life star is the Madder of the two:

In one of the weirder first round match-ups Michael ‘Wacko Jacko’ Jackson (4) faces Brandon ‘Greasy Bear’ Davis (5). Jackson continues to toy around with children from around the world. He holes himself up in hotel rooms across the world and still has managed to bankrupt himself. Davis has had several stints in rehab. His craziest moment led to Lindsay Lohan’s ‘Firecrotch’ nickname. Wacko or Greasy? Vote for who advances:

Here are the results from day two of the first round of Hollywood March Madness:

(43 votes 69%) Lindsay Lohan (2) Winner
(19 votes 31%) Antonella Barba (7)

In our first men’s game we had the couch jumping Tom Cruise against Rosie basher Donald Trump. Trump as the 8th seed made a quick exit to the ultra quirky Cruise. Here is how the final score ended up between the two:

(35 votes 67%) Rosie O’Donnell (2) Winner
(17 votes 33%) Michael Richards (7)

The NCAA men’s basketball tournament starts this week. But here at the Bumpshack we are having our own tourney version called Hollywood March Madness. In our tournament we will will pit Hollywood stars head-to-head to see who is Hollywood’s Maddest Celebrity. Sixteen Hollywood stars have been seeded. One half of the bracket is comprised of the women and the men fill out the bracket on the converse side. The #1 seeds are Britney Spears and Tom Cruise. The winners will be decided by your voting.

Today the #1 and #8 seeds will battle on each side of the bracket. That means you will be deciding the winners between Britney Spears and Madonna as well as between Tom Cruise and Donald Trump.

The first round and first matchup of the tournament will be between troubled pop star Britney Spears and her kissing buddy Madonna. Britney’s troubles have been well documented during the past month. Madonna has always been on the lunatic ledge, pushing limits to the max. Today you never know what will escape Madge’s lips. Can Madonna, the 8th seed, upset Bald Britney?

Number eight seed Donald Trump will play host to number one seed Tom Cruise at Trump Towers. Alien Tom put forth his best acting job ever by marrying Katie Holmes last year. His couch jumping and alien worship helped him earn the male #1 seed. The Donald has a continuing nasty feud with Rosie O’Donnell. That seemed to start after he gave Miss USA Tara Conner a second chance. You will decide if Trump will upset Tommy Boy.

Nicole Richie is photoed her after eating at Mr. Chow’s in Beverly Hills with Paris Hilton. It doesn’t even look like Nicole in this photo. I am sure the dress is not that bad, but with her (lack there of) figure it just comes off being very flat.
