  • Cameron Diaz Steps Out Sporting Handbag With Curious Initials Etched On the Tote

    Cameron Diaz stepped out in L.A. on Monday sporting a cream colored purse with a pair of unusual initials on the side.

    The initials the 43-year-old actress chose to have placed on her Valentino bag were C.M., which presumably stands for Cameron Madden, her married name.

    While professionally Diaz continues to use her stage name, it demonstrates that in her heart of hearts, she is Mrs. Benji Madden.

    The personalized “Single-Handle Bag” by Valentino goes for $2,675, according to Us Weekly, and is a favorite of stars like pop superstar Beyoncé and The Devil Wears Prada star Anne Hathaway.

    Cameron Diaz and the Good Charlotte guitarist were married last January in a hush-hush ceremony. The couple dated for a mere seven months before deciding to tie the know.

    Despite a whirlwind romance and top-secret wedding, the couple seem to be doing great together.

    In September, Madden publicly wished his “beautiful wife” a happy birthday.

    “…My best friend and everything else, there’s so much I could write,” he shared via Instagram. “I’m the luckiest guy alive — I get to spend the rest of my life right here. I love this woman!”

    Aw, Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden definitely top our list of super cute Hollywood couples.

  • Joel Madden, Nicole Richie Divorce Rumors Not True–Per Lionel Richie

    Joel Madden and Nicole Richie aren’t getting a divorce–at least that’s what her dad, Lionel Richie, told Hello! magazine during a recent interview.

    “They’ve bought a new house and the moving van was pulling up at their old house to move to the new one,” the former Commodores singer said. “Hence the story they are breaking up.”

    Rumors of a split have swirled for quite some time, but they heated up when a moving truck was spotted at Joel Madden and Nicole Richie’s home a couple of weeks ago.

    Lionel Richie visited his daughter and son-in-law, as well as their children, in their new home recently.

    “I went over to the new place recently and there were the Pup-Pups—otherwise known as my grandchildren—running around all excited showing me their new yard and their new pool,” he said.

    Joel Madden and Nicole Richie are the parents of daughter Harlow, who is seven, and son Sparrow, who is five.

    When visiting with Nicole and Joel, Lionel Richie asked his daughter if she had plans to clear up any of these divorce rumors.

    “‘Aren’t you going to clear [the rumors] up?’ I asked Nicole. ‘Nah, it’s OK,’ she said…She’s a seasoned Richie,” he said. “But, as I said to Nicole, ‘Rumors you don’t worry about. It’s when they print something and it’s true you need to worry.’”

    Fans are no doubt thrilled to learn that Nicole Richie and Joel Madden aren’t headed for a divorce. It was only about a year ago she spoke so highly of her husband–and Good Charlotte rocker–with none other than Oprah Winfrey.

    “We met and we were partners from day one. And from the second we found out we were going to parents together, we looked at each other and we said, ‘OK, both of our parents are divorced. We both have had ups and downs with our parents and we don’t really have a strong example of what a healthy family life is. But, we’re recognizing that now, so let’s work at it and let’s go through this together as a team.’ It’s been great,” she said. “And I would say that’s the easiest and hardest part.”

  • Nicole Richie, Joel Madden Splitting Up? Moving Trucks Outside Their L.A. Home

    Nicole Richie and Joel Madden split rumors have been running rampant in recent days, and the moving trucks spotted outside their L.A. home are fueling those rumors.

    According to a report from RadarOnline, it was just a few days ago when several moving trucks lined up outside the home the couple and their two children have long shared.

    A source close to both Nicole Richie and Joel Madden tells Radar that “divorce is imminent.”

    “Nicole has finally had enough of Joel and she is only interested in moving on now with her life. She told him to leave the house and Joel has complied,” the source adds. “They have been living as roommates for a very long time now. The passion fizzled out from their marriage years ago and people close to them know that they have both been doing their own thing for quite some time.”

    Nicole Richie and Joel Madden tied the knot back in 2010. They are the parents of Harlow and Sparrow Madden.

    Nicole Richie is, of course, the daughter of singer Lionel Richie. She is a fashion designer and stars in VH1’s Candidly Nicole.

    Joel Madden is the lead singer for the band Good Charlotte. He is also part of a musical collaboration with brother Benji Madden.

    Both Nicole Richie and Joel Madden have been spotted many times in recent weeks sans their wedding rings.

    What do you suppose really happened between these two? Did the romance simply fizzle out, as reported by various sources, or is there more to the picture than meets the eye? Is it possible that this split is nothing but conjecture on behalf of the media?

    As with any divorce–if this is, in fact, one–it’s sad to see a marriage end–especially when there are children involved. Hopefully Nicole Richie and Joel Madden will work together so their kids can maintain normal, healthy lives.

  • Benji Madden Will Reportedly Marry Cameron Diaz Tonight

    Benji Madden will reportedly make fiancée Cameron Diaz his wife tonight, Monday, Jan. 5, according to Us Weekly.

    The website reports that Diaz, 42, and Madden, 35, hosted a rehearsal dinner with a few close family members and friends in attendance at the actress’ Beverly Hills home on Sunday.

    According to a source for Us, the meal began around 7:30 p.m and lasted for about three hours.

    Entertainment Tonight reports that Cameron’s close friend and Charlie’s Angels co-star Drew Barrymore — who will also serve as a bridesmaid at tonight’s not-so-secret-wedding — threw her friend a bridal shower at her Hollywood Hills home before the rehearsal dinner.

    ET also reports that Monday’s wedding at the Diaz’ home is expected to be an intimate affair, with only 50 guests attending.

    Tonight’s nuptials come after a 7-month whirlwind romance that began in May, after the two were introduced by Madden’s sister-in-law, Nicole Richie. It was very long until news of the actress’ engagement to the Good Charlotte singer broke on Dec. 19.

    “Everyone thinks it’s wild, but are so happy for them,” a source told Us at the time of their engagement. “Benji tends to fall in love easily, but this time it’s for real and he landed a great girl. They obviously both make each other incredibly happy, and there’s nothing better than that.”

  • Nicole Richie Dishes on New Reality Show, ‘Candidly Nicole’

    Nicole Richie is back to reality in a her new VH1 show, Candidly Nicole.

    The former star of The Simple Life will bring her AOL online web series of the same name to eight 30-minute episodes for VH1.

    The show was created by Richie, who is also an executive producer. For the first time, the designer, who runs her House of Harlow 1960 fashion line, is calling the shots in a way she never did during the five-year run of The Simple Life with her friend, Paris Hilton, or as a mentor on Fashion Star.

    “This is the most in control and empowered I have ever felt in my entire career,” Richie told the summer TV critics’ meeting on Friday. “Doing a web series for me, was the best way to do this show. Doing it on the web was a very safe way to see if people are even interested. It turned out that people did (want to watch).”

    The show is a self-deprecating look at the outspoken reality star.

    “I’m definitely the butt of the joke in this one, too, and that is a space I’m comfortable in,” she said. “It’s a tongue firmly planted in cheek, very fun type of show.”

    Included in the project are her singer-father, Lionel Richie, and her 15-year-old stepsister, Sofia.

    “My dad is on the show because he’s desperate and a celebrity and cannot stay away from the camera,” Richie joked.

    On the other hand, her husband, Good Charlotte singer Joel Madden, and their children, will not appear.

    Not everyone appreciates Richie’s humor and persona, but that’s just fine with her.

    “I’m obviously a genius,” she said, joking about her image. “Some people think I’m funny and some people don’t. You can’t really please everybody.”

    Candidly Nicole debuts July 17 on VH1.

  • Benji Madden Dating Cameron Diaz?

    Benji Madden Dating Cameron Diaz?

    Good Charlotte guitarist Benji Madden is reportedly dating The Other Woman star Cameron Diaz. A source revealed to US Weekly that the dalliance between Madden, 35, and Diaz, 41, is “very new,” and that the two are “just hanging out.”

    The source added that Madden’s sister-in-law Nicole Richie might have played matchmaker. Richie, who is close friends with Diaz and married to Madden’s twin brother Joel “thought they’d click,” according to the source. The two have only been seeing each other for the past few weeks.

    Diaz, who recently caused a stir after saying that humans are not “naturally monogamous” and have “the same instincts as animals,” hasn’t been publicly linked to anyone since her split from New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez back in September of 2011.

    Madden had previously dated Australian ingenue Sophie Monk, international entertainment icon Paris Hilton and reality television personality Holly Madison. The musician founded Good Charlotte in Waldorf, Maryland in 1996, and achieved mainstream success with the release of the record The Young and the Hopeless in 2002, which sold 4.9 million copies.

    Here is Good Charlotte’s Dance Floor Anthem of 2007:

    Regarding Diaz’ comments regarding humanity being instinctively unable to maintain monogamous relationships, the actress explained that she was merely channeling the viewpoint of Carly Whitten, the character she’d played in her latest film, The Other Woman.

    “That’s not what I said. My character says she doesn’t believe in monogamy … ! I believe in monogamy. That is an important part of a successful relationship,” Diaz said, adding, “I have had (monogamous relationships). And, by the way, also, not all relationships end because people get cheated on, or people cheat. Relationships end because they end for whatever reason, but they are still successful relationships that have been monogamous for, however, long they’ve lasted.”

    Here is the trailer for The Other Woman, which has raked in $65 million on a $40 million budget so far at the box office:
