  • Chloe Bartoli: Scott Disick Reportedly Cheated On Kourtney Kardashian With Her for Years

    Chloe Bartoli and Scott Disick’s dalliances in the South of France didn’t represent the first time the ex-lovers had been together. In fact, one source told Us Weekly the two had been meeting up–unbeknownst to Kourtney Kardashian, of course–for years.

    “This has been going on forever,” a source close to Chloe Bartoli said. “They would meet up in NYC. I heard about it first at least a year ago. Chloe is sweet but loves running in these celebrity circles.”

    A stylist who has styled big-name celebs including Miranda Kerr and Selena Gomez, Chlose Bartoli is best friends with Nicole Richie. She frequently hangs out with friends including Gigi Hadid and Jared Leto. She has a twin sister named Marie-Lou.

    Bartoli first dated Scott Disick back in 2006, when he was on a break from the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star and prior to Kourtney becoming pregnant with son Mason Disick, who is now five.

    Kourtney Kardashian made it perfectly clear to Scott Disick throughout the years that she didn’t want him keeping in touch with Chloe Bartoli.

    Clearly Scott Disick paid no heed to Kourtney’s demand, and now has been formally kicked out of the home he shared with her and their three children. He didn’t even show up to be part of daughter Penelope Disick’s third birthday.

    Maybe Chloe Bartoli did Kourtney Kardashian a huge favor. She finally dumped the man who brought way more heartache than peace to a relationship that lasted nearly a decade.

    The real question is this, however. Now that Kourtney has dumped Scott Disick, will Chloe Bartoli stick with him? Or was he simply a conduit to the celebrity world she likely sees as a boost to her occupation?

  • Christian Audigier: Ed Hardy Designer Dies of Blood Disease

    Christian Audigier, the French designer known for creating the Ed Hardy brand of clothing, has died of a rare blood disease at the age of 57.

    Michele Elyzabeth is Audigier’s longtime publicist. She confirmed his passing in a statement.

    “I just heard the news and I am truly devastated. Christian was an incredibly brilliant man. He will be missed,” she said.

    Diagnosed with MDS (Myelodysplastic Syndrome) back in January, Christian Audigier was admitted to an L.A. hospital recently in a comatose state. He reportedly woke up from the coma prior to passing away. MDS is the same disease Good Morning America co-host Robin Roberts suffered from. She received a bone marrow transplant from her sister in her efforts to beat the disease.

    Christian Audigier created the Ed Hardy label in the early 2000s. Made even more popular by celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Ashton Kutcher, Nicole Richie, and Madonna, the popular trucker hats, t-shirts, swimsuits, dresses, and more were hugely popular.

    “My demo is tabloid magazine,” Audigier said in a 2009 interview with GQ. “I am different from the other designer. Because what they say they hate, I love. They say they hate it but they always looking at it.”

    Christian Audigier sold the Ed Hardy line to Iconix Brand Group in 2011 for more than $60 million.

    The brand slipped in popularity almost as quickly as it soared. Kate Gosselin’s ex-husband Jon Gosselin has been mercilessly targeted in the tabloids in recent years for still wearing Ed Hardy t-shirts.

    It’s sad that Christian Audigier has lost his battle with MDS. Sadly, not everyone is being respectful in light of his passing.

    Surely more information about Christian Audigier’s passing and any funeral plans will be shared with the media in the coming days.

  • Chloe Bartoli and Scott Disick Cozy in the South of France

    Chloe Bartoli is Scott Disick’s ex-girlfriend–or so everyone believed. She didn’t appear so ‘ex’ when spotted with the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star and current boyfriend and baby daddy of Kourtney Kardashian, however. The two were seen cozying up close to one another at a beach in the South of France.

    Scott Disick was photographed sharing a lounge chair on the beach with Chloe Bartoli and rubbing her scantily-clad back. At dinner that same evening the two shared some wine and fed one another pasta.

    While Scott Disick is running around in the South of France with Chloe Bartoli, Kourtney Kardashian has been filming with her sisters and trying not to get sick as she cares for three children with colds. There’s something definitely wrong with this picture.

    Chloe Bartoli is a stylist based in L.A. Sources tell Us Weekly she and Nicole Richie are good friends, and that Scott Disick dated her some time ago.

    Scott Disick is clearly in need of a repeat visit to rehab. He has been partying hardy of late–having been in Las Vegas prior to jetting to the South of France where he’s been spotted partying in both San Tropez and Monaco. It’s uncertain if Chloe Bartoli has accompanied him throughout his entire getaway or if they simply met up in one of his European destinations.

    If Kourtney Kardashian doesn’t dump Scott Disick after this escapade she needs a good talking-to from her sisters. Surely Kim Kardashian West and Khloe Kardashian don’t approve of Scott Disick treating their sister this way. She’s the mother of his three children, after all.

    Now that Chloe Bartoli is part of Scott Disick’s partying routine, it’s high time Kourtney Kardashian gets rid of him once and for all.

  • Kathy Hilton: Is She Replacing Kyle Richards on ‘The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills?’

    Kathy Hilton is no stranger to reality TV. Daughter Paris Hilton was one of the reality TV originals, having starred with Nicole Richie on The Simple Life starting back in 2003.

    Now there’s some speculation that Kathy Hilton might be making her first foray into starring on reality TV. Rumor has it she’s on tap to replace her younger sister Kyle Richards on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

    Kyle and sister Kim Richards have been staples of RHOBH since the show debuted back in 2010, but Kyle Richards has reportedly had enough of reality TV–at least for now.

    “Kyle hasn’t been happy for two seasons now,” a source tells Page Six. “She has ruined any chance at a friendship with the cast mates and she isn’t sure she can stomach another season.”

    Kyle’s relationship with Kim Richards has been especially strained due to their work on the show. The two engaged in a screaming match during the season five reunion special in April, but they have since been spotted–along with Kathy Hilton–getting along at Kim’s daughter’s wedding earlier in June. Kim Richards is in a 90-day alcohol rehab program. She was arrested for public drunkenness at the Beverly Hills Hilton earlier in 2015. It is expected that in order to maintain her sobriety, Kim Richards won’t return to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills when filming for the next season begins.

    “Both Richards sisters are fed up with the drama of reality TV and want out,” a source says. “Lisa Vanderpump feels the same way.”

    TMZ reported last week that RHOBH has given Brandi Glanville her walking papers.

    Will Kathy Hilton step up to the plate and join the cast of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills?

    “Kathy’s been approached to join the cast, but is undecided,” a source reports. “She doesn’t know yet if she wants to be part of all the drama.”

    Kyle Richards claims the notion of Kathy Hilton signing on to star in RHOBH is nothing but a rumor.

    Is Kathy Hilton a good fit for RHOBH, if in fact this rumor proves true? Will Eileen Davidson, Lisa Rinna, Lisa Vanderpump, and the rest of the gang welcome her on board if she accepts the invitation?

  • 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.”

    Kelly Ripa Sports Bright Pink Locks

    Kelly Ripa is the latest celebrity to sport bright pink locks. The Live! With Kelly and Michael star had her tresses dyed recently–just before heading out on vacation.

    Ripa joins the ranks of stars including Kaley Cuoco, Nicole Richie, Julianne Hough, and Hilary Duff who are either wearing or recently wore pink hair.

    Kelly Ripa shared word of her new ‘do with her followers via Twitter on Tuesday night.

    She also shared a photo of her pink locks on Instagram.

    Check out Kelly Ripa with pink hair–and see if you think blondes really have more fun–or if pink-headed ladies might stand a chance of enjoying themselves almost as much.

    Kelly Ripa’s hair stylist shared a couple of shots, too.

    Kelly Ripa debuted her new ‘do on Wednesday on Live! With Kelly and Michael–leaving herself wide open for ribbing from co-host Michael Strahan.

    “Every time I go on vacation I dye my hair a different color,” she explained to the audience. “It usually washes out and this will wash out. It’s part of my tradition–I like to have fun for a few weeks. I literally sat there with pink hair dye, multiple shades of pink on my hair for hours. I get very bored. I’ve had the same color for six months at least, and that’s a long time for me.”

    Ripa also says she’s not done dyeing yet.

    “I think I might go red next. When we first put it on it looked really red and I was like, ‘I like it!’ I tried a red wig once and I was drunk with power,” she said.

    Kelly Ripa’s husband, Mark Consuelos, hasn’t yet seen the new pink ‘do in person, but Kelly sent him a picture.

    “He said, ‘Babe, keep going. I love it.’”

    Do you love Kelly Ripa’s new–albeit temporary–look?

  • Nicole Richie Gossip Slammed by Daddy

    Nicole Richie and husband Joel Madden have been the subject of countless divorce rumors for months. Some gossip rags have run with unnamed sources swearing up and down that Nicole Richie and Joel Madden are on the verge of a split.

    “If it wasn’t for the kids, they’d be divorced already,” one such “source” said.

    Then came the news and accompanying pictures that showed moving vans parked outside the couple’s home, as well as Joel Madden shopping for furniture alone.

    Now Nicole Richie has someone to speak up for her in this rumor flurry: Her famous dad.

    “It’s completely untrue,” Lionel Richie told Hello Magazine.

    Well, how does he explain the moving vans?

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

    Lionel Richie went to visit his daughter and her husband at their new place, which they moved into to be near Madden’s brother and his new wife, Cameron Diaz.

    “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.

    Why leave it to Daddy to clear up the rumor mess? Lionel wonders the same thing.

    “‘Aren’t you going to clear [the rumors] up?’ I asked Nicole. ‘Nah, it’s okay,’ she said. She’s a seasoned Richie.”

    Lionel Richie has seen his own share of rumors and scandal in his career.

    “But, as I said to Nicole, ‘Rumor you don’t worry about. It’s when they print something and it’s true you need to worry.’”

    Nicole Richie has reinvented herself from her wild days opposite Paris Hilton on reality TV. And regarding her marriage, she told Oprah:

    “We met and we were partners from day one. And from the second we found out we were going to be 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.”

  • 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.

  • Nicole Richie And Cameron Diaz Spotted Doing Housewife Duties

    Nicole Richie And Cameron Diaz Spotted Doing Housewife Duties

    Nicole Richie may be less of a party girl now that she is happily married, but paparazzi still cannot take their cameras from tailing tiny Mrs. Rockstar.

    On Saturday, Richie was spotted shopping for groceries with new best friend and sister-in-law, Cameron Diaz. The two Hollywood hotties looked comfortable in playing housewives while only wearing subdued outfits. Diaz sported a simple black dress with a tan cardigan and moccasin ankle boots. Her usually glamorous blonde hair tied in a messy bun.

    Only Richie’s flashy, pink, pixie hairdo and mega-size sunglasses gave their celebrity status away.

    “Charlie’s Angel” Diaz, who has just recently tied the knot with Benji Madden, was seen helping Richie with her grocery bags. The sisters-in-law seemed inseparable while happily doing errands for their twin husbands. Reports say that they spend more time with each other than with their spouses.

    Richie has been quoted in admitting that she set up Diaz and Benji. “I am a devoted sister-in-law,” Richie told Andy Cohen, “I’m going to take responsibility for everything!”

    Apart from being the best sister-in-law, The Simple Life star Richie seems to have mastered maturity since launching her fashion business in 2009 and then being married with Joel Madden the following year.

    In an interview with Clare Press, Richie admitted to being young and crazy, saying, “I thought I was getting away with everything, when the reality was that I was arrested three times and had five car accidents. Two were totals,” she said.

    Now that she is a mother of two, Richie finds life can be a lot simpler just being happy with the simple things. “I get to live my childhood all over again. My daughter is seven, so we’re starting to watch all the fun movies together, like The Sound of Music,” she said. “I believe everything in your life is an opportunity to learn and grow, and that’s what I was probably doing [back then]. It was so long ago, it’s hard for me to even think about it.”

  • Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden Say ‘I Do’

    Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden Say ‘I Do’

    Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden tied the knot at their home on Monday. The two wed in front of a circle of close friend and family members, including celebrities like Reese Witherspoon, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Benji Madden’s twin brother, Joel Madden.

    Cameron and Benji were only engaged for a month.

    “Getting married is the next step when you are totally in love and comfortable with someone,” a source told People magazine. “Cameron has found true happiness.”

    Word emerged this weekend about the possibility of the upcoming nuptials. They hosted what many perceived as a wedding rehearsal. Joel Madden, Drew Barrymore, and Nicole Richie were on hand for that part of the celebration. Cameron Diaz also enjoyed a bachelorette party–making this one of her busiest weekends ever. She and a group of girlfriends enjoyed an overnight at an L.A. hotel.

    Party rental trucks and a wealth of white flowers showed up at the home Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden share on Monday morning, indicating that the wedding was a definite go and would be held at their home. Security for the couple did their best to throw curious onlookers off the wedding trail.

    “There is a lot of security and they are trying to keep the wedding hush-hush by telling neighbors that Cameron is having a pre-Golden Globes party tonight,” another source told People prior to Monday’s nuptials. “It will start past dark tonight. They are setting things up in the lush backyard.”

    Congratulations to both Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden. May they enjoy many happy years as husband and wife.

  • Cameron Diaz Engaged to Good Charlotte Rocker Benji Madden

    Cameron Diaz is engaged to Benji Madden after a whirlwind romance, reports Us Weekly.

    According to the magazine, the 42-year-old actress, who has dated Justin Timberlake and Alex Rodriguez in the past, and the Good Charlotte rocker have decided to tie the knot after dating for only seven months.

    The couple were first spotted in May of this year and despite their relatively short courtship, they are ready to make it official.

    “Everyone thinks it’s wild but are so happy for them,” a source told Us. “Benji always 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.”

    According to a source for the The National Enquirer, as reported by RadarOnline, they’re “planning their wedding for early in the new year. They’ve been telling close friends in recent weeks about their plans, but it’s very hush-hush.”

    In September, a friend of the couple told Us that Madden really wanted to do things right when it came to his relationship with Diaz.

    “He is more traditional then her,” the pal said. “She really doesn’t care about getting married but wants babies. He wants to get engaged and married first.”

    Diaz‘ future sister-in-law Nicole Richie, who is married to Benji’s brother, Joel, apparently set them up.

    “I approve of anything that’s going to make Benj happy,” she told Watch What Happens Live‘s Andy Cohen back in July. When asked if she set them up, she answered, “Yes, I’m going to take responsibility for everything!”

    However, Radar reports that Joel is not necessarily keen on the union and has been trying to get them to cool their jets.

    “It’s way too soon to be discussing marriage, and Joel told him so,” the source told the website. “He’s told him to slow down and enjoy the dating phase.”

  • Nicole Richie Loves Being A Mother

    Nicole Richie Loves Being A Mother

    Nicole Richie is known for trying to keep her private life…well…private. But now, thanks to Oprah, she is beginning to open up to the world about what her life is like. On Oprah Winfrey’s Where Are They Now?, she revealed much about her life as wife to Good Charlotte’s Joel Madden.

    “From the second we found out we were going to be parents together, we looked at each other and said, ‘OK, both of our parents are divorced, we’ve both had ups and downs with our parents, and we don’t exactly have a strong example of what a healthy family life is,” Nicole Richie admits. “But, we’re recognizing that now, so let’s work at it. Let’s go through this together as a team, and it’s been great. And I would say that that’s the easiest and hardest part.”

    Obviously she is much different now than she appeared to be when she was Paris Hilton’s cohort on The Simple Life. Nicole Richie is a wife and also the loving mother of two kids, Harlow, six, and Sparrow, who is four.

    Having kids changes who you are, we all know that. And the same seems to be true for Nicole Richie. She has a strategy for being a good parent and giving her kids the best she can.

    “My kids operate best when I let them have a voice, and I really explain things to them,” she says. “Because really, kids want to be told the truth. They just do. They want you to be truthful.”

    For Nicole Richie, being a parent is absolutely the most fulfilling part of her life these days.

    “It’s the best. It teaches you a lot about yourself and about patience and about coming from a place of love and constant compassion,” she said.

    Nicole Richie continued, “Having kids gives you the opportunity to be the real you. I love being a mother and being a real example to my kids. It’s fun – you get to relive your childhood all over again.”

    Sweet thoughts! So glad Nicole Richie has grown up to be a great mother and decent human being.

  • Nicole Richie Opens Up About Her Marriage

    Being married to a rocker might sound exciting and fun, but Nicole Richie says that it can also be challenging at times. Nicole has been married to her husband Joel Madden from the band Good Charlotte for three years.

    She recently opened up about the marriage to Oprah and said,

    “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, ‘Okay, 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.

    Nicole and Joel have two children together, Harlow and Sparrow. Nicole said that she has learned to be very patient with her children and that the best way to get through to them is to explain things thoroughly.

    “I have to always come from a place of love and compassion with them,” the former wild child said. “My kids operate best when I let them have a voice. I really explain things to them, because really, kids want to be told the truth. They just do. They just want you to be truthful.”

    Nicole went on to say that she is constantly growing as a wife and mother and looking for ways to improve in both aspects of her life. Her ultimate goal is to make her family happy.

    “There’s always room for improvement,” she said.

    Nicole Richie Opens Up About Marriage

    Nicole Richie is a very happily married woman to her husband Joel Madden. However, she admits that it is not always easy, and takes a lot of hard work, to make a relationship work.

    During a recent episode of Oprah’s Where Are They Now?, Nicole opened up about the best and worst parts of being married.

    Nicole has been married to the Good Charlotte rocker for three and a half years now, and revealed to Oprah that they decided before tying the knot that they would set a good example for their children.

    “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, ‘Okay, 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.

    The couple now has two children together, daughter Harlow, 6, and son Sparrow, 4. The former “bad girl” says that she is always working on improving her skills as a mother. “There’s always room for improvement,” she said. “I do know I do the best that I can. I’m probably constantly—every day—talking to other moms figuring out the best way to have a strong relationship with our kids.”

    “I have to always come from a place of love and compassion with them,” Richie added. “My kids operate best when I let them have a voice. I really explain things to them, because really, kids want to be told the truth. They just do. They just want you to be truthful.”

  • 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.

  • Nicole Richie: New Hair, New Candidly Nicole Season

    Nicole Richie has never been one for subtlety, especially when it comes to her style.

    For a while now, Richie has been sporting a lavender dye job.

    She recently decided that she was over the lavender shade and dyed her hair a bright blue color instead.

    Richie’s decision to dye her hair came at her daughter’s request.

    She said that after dyeing her hair lavender, she didn’t feel any different from when she was blonde and admitted that the dye job was a spur of the moment decision and something she wasn’t sure if she would keep for long.

    Richie debuted her blue hair color this week and shared photos of it on Instagram. She appeared on several morning television shows to talk about her new VH1 series Candidly Nicole and wore her new blue hairstyle pulled back into a neat updo.

    Her blue bangs were styled across her forehead.

    .

    The new season of Candidly Nicole will premiere on July 17. The reality show follows Nicole as she hilariously discusses issues that are affecting the world. Nicole pretends to be interested in hot topics, but discusses them in a comical way. The show allows Nicole to be herself and show off her fun and sometimes unique sense of humor.

    Richie hasn’t said if her daughter approves of the new hair color or which one she prefers herself.

    As often as she likes to change her look, it’s not likely that Richie will keep the blue hair for long.

  • 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:

Williamson is running for congress in California’s 33rd district for a seat presently held by Rep. Henry Waxman. Morissette hopes her song will help take her friend all the way to congress.

    “I was attempting to capture the passion, mission, activism, deep humanity and tenderness of Marianne, the new political sensibility she represents and the consciousness that produced it,” Morissette said in a statement. “Recording at Sunset Sound with my bandmates, Marianne came by and visited. We all huddled together as the song was recorded. I love this song. I love this woman, and I love a world that would vote for her.”

    “Alanis Morissette has produced a masterpiece,” Williamson wrote on her website. “I have never heard a song more powerfully describe this moment in our history, or more lovingly call forth our generation’s genius from the ashes of our pain. With her inimitable musical alchemy, Alanis has provided an anthem for our audacious quest to get America back on track.”

    Morissette seems excited about the song and about her candidate/friend.

    “In the words of Benjamin Franklin, ‘America’s destiny is not Power, but Light.’ Would he love Alanis, or what?” Williamson added.

    The song speaks of a “mending of our union” and also calls for a “revolution.” The video shows Marianne Williamson in a meet and greet with the public as Alanis sings Today in the recording studio.

    Alanis Morissette isn’t the only celebrity endorsing Marianne Williamson. She is also wholeheartedly supported by Jane Lynch, Nicole Richie, and Eva Longoria. Last month Kim Kardashian and sister Kourtney Kardashian, along with singer Katy Perry supported Williamson at a political event. Marianne Williamson has written self-help books for years. Her foray into politics is something new.

    Might Alanis Morissette’s Today help her win her congressional seat?

  • Britney Spears Puts A Leash On Nicole Richie

    Britney Spears spiced up her Vegas show on Tuesday by pulling Nicole Richie up on stage, tying a leash around her neck, and dragging her around on all fours.

    The new redhead has been performing in a Vegas residency since the end of December and usually pulls a guy up on stage during that part of the show, but she couldn’t resist getting her old friend involved.

    “Can we all give a round of applause to @NicoleRichie for playing along in the show tonight? U looked hot crawling on all fours ;),” she wrote on Twitter later.

    A few new Spears tracks were released recently by producer Danja, who has worked with the singer on several albums. One of the songs was from her 2008 album Circus but ended up on the cutting room floor.

    “More than anything, [Spears] nailed the energy and vibe that I wanted to capture on the track,” he said.

    The other two tracks come from Britney Jean and Blackout.

  • Nicole Richie Shares 4-Year-Old Self With Fans

    Nicole Richie posted one of the most adorable Christmas photos of the entire 2013 holiday season on her Instagram page. Featuring herself at 4 years old, the photo is absolutely precious. Sitting in front of some beautiful Christmas decorations, little Nicole is all decked out in a red Christmas dress, white tights and black patent leather Mary Janes. Her long curly hair cascades down to her shoulders and the expression on her face says, “Don’t mess with me,” and “Yes, I know I’m cute.”

    Just a few weeks ago, Nicole Richie shared the Christmas traditions she and her family love.

    “We are pretty traditional in this department. We go as a family to pick a tree, Joel and I argue about getting the tree delivered because he doesn’t want to pay the fee, we decorate it as a family while listening to holiday music,” she said. “I want Christmas to be the magical fantasy for my children that it was for me.

    A magical Christmas fantasy is shared with all of her fans in this throwback photo, captioned very simply, “Christmas, 1985.”

    Many celebrities have shared priceless holiday cards this Christmas season, but few can capture what a 4-year-old Nicole Richie captured with that one impish expression on her face. Even though Christmas 2013 has come and gone, this memory will last in fan’s minds for a bit longer this holiday season. Now 32, Nicole doesn’t have that cherub’s face any longer. It will be hard to look at her, however, and not remember that little girl.

  • Nicole Richie Honors Drew Barrymore at Gala

    Nicole Richie was just one of the Baby2Baby board members on hand to help honor Drew Barrymore on Sunday. Barrymore was honored for her involvement with the nonprofit that provides the essential needs for many underprivileged children.

    Richie attended the event with hubby Joel Madden, and was among the first to get a view of Drew Barrymore’s baby bump. Drew covered that bump with a Tory Burch gown for the gala.

    “I work really closely with them because I wish that there were organizations like Baby2Baby for so many more areas in life,” she said. “I think good people are inherent givers and so to have a place where you can give so much and it’s so local and so well organized and so perfect for mothers to share for mothers … I think this is the perfect organization for moms.”

    It’s always inspiring when Hollywood celebrities opt to share some of their wealth and even more importantly their name and status to help those so much less fortunate than themselves. It lends an air of credibility to some of these people who more often than not appear to live in bubbles–oblivious to the world around them.

    Kelly Sawyer Patricof and Norah Weinstein are Baby2Baby’s co-presidents. They know that despite the fact that their organization has served more than 67,000 children, more help is needed. And Weinstein makes it clear that they can never have enough of one particular need.

    “Diapers,” she says, noting that the organization’s goal is to donate 27 million. “Cribs are a close second because there’s the kids all over the city sleeping on the floors, sleeping on shared beds so they’re a close second to warm clothes and everything else.”

    Kudos to celebrities like Nicole Richie, Drew Barrymore, Julie Bowen and more who donate their time, their money and their famous faces and names to Baby2Baby. They are setting a fine example for all celebrities who have the power to do lots of good with their fame and fortune.
