Nicole Richie and Joel Madden’s wee one is here! Harlow Winter Kate Madden made her big debut weighing a respectable 6lbs. and 7oz. Almost as much as mommy did before she got pregnant! Congratulations to Joel and Nicole and here’s to a healthy and happy baby.

Parents to be Nicole and Joel(NiJoel? Jocole?)showered 100 expectant mothers with gifts at a surprise baby shower at a Los Angeles Free Clinic. The couple handed out $200,000 worth of cribs, toys and mattresses collected from their new charity, The Richie Madden Foundation:

The looks on their faces were priceless. Some of them didn’t even believe us [when they saw the gifts]. They thought we were joking. It’s really, really amazing. And they’re fantastic. We started [the foundation] out here in Los Angeles because this is our home and we live here. But we are hoping to spread this to all areas of the world. Joel and I travel a lot. We traveled a lot, even when I was pregnant. We went to Asia and Australia, and our hope is to improve the lives of people all over the world. It starts here, and the Los Angeles Free Clinic is a perfect place to start. They are a really amazing clinic.

The couple kicked off fundraising for the charity by asking guests at their Wizard of Oz themed baby shower to donate their gifts to people who needed it more than two Pampered(ha!)celebs. Wow, I am truly amazed at the goodwill of those two right now. It doesn’t make up for her drunk driving on the wrong side of the road or any of Good Charlotte’s music, but it’s a generous start.

The boring part of this post is that Paris is in total denial of the fact that it was more than likely her skanky paws that leaked the pictures of Nicole Richie’s Wizard of Oz(would have been much funnier and culturally relevant if it was Oz the Prison Show. Like with little mugshot cupcakes and sugar handcuffs!) themed baby shower, despite the fact Paris was in all the pcitures and they looked staged. Oh, and that they were offered to the tabloids over the Thanksgiving weekend when all the tabs were under early deadline which is more of a nod to her innnocence because if anyone knows about the schedule of the paparazzis, it’s the Parisite. Moving briskly along.

I understand the Walk of Shame is something that inevitably happens, even to the best of us. You have a little eggnog, you end up under the mistletoe and before you know it you are scanning the floor for a pair of underwear that has just got to be yours since there is only one other pair sitting there and you don’t wear XXXL thongs and and SWEET RAMEN NOODLES what have you done? This is where you grab a t-shirt of part of a bedsheet, slink to your car and speed home before anyone catches you. Few of us would stop for coffee and most of us would hardly pose for the photographers. Even fewer of us would do what follows.

Soon to be mom and Mrs. Madden Nicole Richie carried out her jail sentence today by serving a full 82 minutes o cold hard time:

On August 23 2007, at 3:15 PM Miss Nicole Camille Richie reported to CRDF and surrendered herself following a July 27 arrest, she was sentenced to serve 96 hours in County Jail. Miss Richie was accompanied by her attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley and her boyfriend Joel Madden. Miss Richie was booked and processed into the jail system. Miss Richie was cooperative during the process. Based on her sentence and federal court guidelines, Miss Richie was released at 4:37 PM today.

She was in a cell for 35 minutes, yo. That wasn’t even enough time to make a shiv! I was all set to bake her a sugar free low carb low calorie cake with a file in it and everything. I’ll just file that recipe card away for when Britney goes to jail.

Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie’s reality show ‘The Simple Life’ has been canceled. “‘Simple Life’ has been a wonderful addition to the E! schedule for two years and we will always be grateful to Paris and Nicole for the hard work and graciousness,” a spokesman for the cable network said.

Considering the fact that most network executives have the combined IQ of a head of lettuce and two carrots, the decision to cancel Slutastic Anorexia Bad Hair Weave Showdown The Simple Life comes as a pleasant surprise. Personally, I wasn’t a fan. If I wanted to watch some chick in huge Prada sunglasses annoy the piss out of people and pretend to work, I would have set a camera up at my job and taped myself.
