Nicole Richie and Joel Madden Cheer On Lakers

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden Cheer On Lakers

Joining a star-studded crowd at the Staples Center on Sunday night, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden showed up to cheer the Los Angeles Lakers to a Game 5 win over the Boston Celtics.

Besides checking out the local sports scene, the former Simple Life star and her Good Charlotte rocker beau have been the focus of wedding rumors - which Joel recently spoke up about.

Madden, 30, posted a joking message on his blog over the weekend, which read: “WE DID IT!! NICOLE AND I FINALLY GOT MARRIED!! for pictures!!”

Spoofing a false report from Star magazine, which claimed that he was planning a $2 million wedding, Joel continued: “HAHA. JUST KIDDING. So I feel really stupid even posting this, but I’ve been getting calls and texts from my family all week asking me why they weren’t invited to my wedding.”

“I guess the only answer I could give them was that I didn’t know we were having one!” he added. “So I just found that Star magazine wrote some story about a 2 MILLION dollar wedding we are supposed to be having, and that’s where it came from. Sooooo if you were pi–ed at me for not inviting you or even telling you, don’t blame me, there’s nothing to worry about,” Madden wrote. “It’s just Star magazine. How long do you think it will be before they write we called it off, or we broke up? I give them a week or two…….”

Joel Madden Kills the Mood

Paris Hilton, Benji Madden

In case you’ve been stuck in a cave for the past several months, Paris Hilton is smitten with Benji Maddenand for the millionth time, the heiress proclaimed her in-loveness to the world.

On his KIIS-FM morning show, Ryan Seacrest surprised his guest Benji by playing a prerecorded interview with Paris. But what could have turned into a sweet, touching moment following playback was cut short by Benji’s twin brother and Good Charlotte bandmate Joel.

Here’s what Paris had to say about realizing she had feelings for her current beau:

“When I heard [Benji] make a speech about Joel and Nicole and the baby [at the couple’s baby shower], I thought he was cute then. And then when I saw him with Harlow, I just realized he had a really sweet, kind heart. Then we just totally had a crush on each other, and we fell in love right away.”

Following Paris’ touching, Lifetime-movie moment, Joel stepped in and set the record straight.

“[Benji’s] speeches are not touching. They’re likethey always degrade me. They make fun of me. Like ’I never thought I’d see the day when Joel actually had sex with a girl and then make it count. But you did it, Joel.’ It was a classic Benji-Madden-makes-fun-of-Joel speech.”

Hmmm, guess it doesn’t take much to win over Paris. We’ve heard positive things about Benji, but if that is a speech she believes revealed the rocker’s good heart, we don’t even want to hear what she considers a slam.

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden: House Hunters

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden: House Hunters

Now that they’re a real bona fide family, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden are thinking about a new homestead.  And they were spotted checking out some potential abodes yesterday in Los Angeles, California.

The “Good Charlotte” rocker and his “Simple Life” sweetie peeped a few properties, then headed over to a sushi restaurant to satisfy their appetites.

And it sounds like Nicole has renewed her appetite for reality television, as she’s recently announced that she wants to star in a new show.

It seems she’s been pitching a program that would center around her traveling the country in search of the next Nicole Richie.  With Paris Hilton working on her new reality show, it looks like someone’s a bit jealous!
