While Nicole Richie is keeping the date of her wedding a secret, she reveals that she and Joel Madden will tie the knot “soon.”

Richie made an appearance on Tuesday’s Ellen Degeneres Show and dished to the talk-show host about her wedding plans.

“It’s a big deal,” she says of the wedding preparations.

Though she joked on E!’s pre-Oscar show Monday that the wedding would be “tomorrow,” all kidding aside, Richie’s just now getting down to business on the wedding plans.

“I’ve been on the road,” Richie says, who just returned from Europe where she presented her fashion collection line Winter Kate and House of Harlow 1960. “I just got home, so it’s really going to be like now that’s the time for me to sit down and think about what I want.”

Just like their engagement, Joel explains that they’re in no rush and plan to take their time preparing for the big day.

“The same thing as our engagement, we’re kind of doing it at our own pace. We have no idea right now.”

Hmm, we wonder if Paris Hilton will make the bridal party?!

Lionel Richie is ecstatic over daughter Nicole Richie’s engagement to Good Charlotte rocker Joel Madden!

“My happiness for Nicole and Joel knows no boundaries,” Richie tells Usmagazine.com in a statement. “They have given me two beautiful grandchildren, Harlow and Sparrow, and have proven to be great parents.”

Lionel couldn’t be more excited for the big day, which is expected to be this summer, as he’ll also be serenading the two lovebirds in their first dance!

“I am not sure who is luckier, Nicole and Joel to have each other, or me, to have both of them in my life,” the singer says. “I cannot wait to give away the bride!”

How cute is the Richie fam?! Once again, congrats to Nicole and Joel… we’ve been waiting for this to happen!

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden finally let the cat out of the bag — they’re engaged!

Riche made the official announcement Monday on The Late Show with David Letterman and Madden informed his little twitterbugs, “Yep. i’m engaged. Very happy,” he Tweeted Monday. “Yeah we’ve been engaged for a while so your all kind of late on that. But Thanks for the hooplah all the same.”

It’s about God damn time! Nicole and Joel seem to be a legit couple who are truly in love! Unlike most Hollywood types, they were smart and didn’t rush to the alter.

Last year, the bride-to-be told CNN’s Larry King that she and Madden were in no rush to the tie the knot.

“I think for both of us, we are going to do it because we want to, not because that’s what you do,” she said. “We’re going to do it when the time’s right.”

Hmm, we wonder when exactly Joel popped the question considering Nicole already has the ball rolling on the wedding plans!

“Nicole and Joel are in the process of planning the wedding. She’s very involved in every detail. She’s thrilled,” a source tells Usmagazine.com.

Richie and Madden have been dating since December 2006 and have two children together, Harlow, 2, and Sparrow, five months, and are expected to wed this summer.

Congrats to our fave Hollywood couple! We guarantee their wedding is going to be the party of the year!

Nicole Riche’s daughter Harlow gets her flirt on at the recording studio!

Richie — who was among the 80 stars packed together like sardines at Henson Recording studios to raise money for Haiti earthquake relief — brought her daughter Harlow along for the unforgettable experience.

“Watched harlow flirt with Kanye, Cary Hart, Busta [Rhymes], Sean garret, and the jonas brothers,” dad Joel Madden joked via . “Just like her mom, she plays hard to get.”

Kanye girl?! Stay away from the douche bags!

Richie — who lent her vocals for the song — says she got carried away belting out the remake of We Are the World and even out-sang power house, Jennifer Hudson!

“I hope Jennifer Hudson wasn’t upset that I was out-singing her tonight,” Richie sarcastically .

“WOW,” she Tweeted after the event. “Brian Wilson stood next to me & I got to hear him sing right into my left ear. Can you say AWESOME!”

Richie — who was four years old when her dad Lionel Richie wrote the original with her godfather MJ — said she was “excited” to do it again and “help make a change.”

Uhh, since when does Nicole sing?! Well if Miley can, we guess she can too!

Since life in the spotlight took off, Nicole Richie has had to endure numerous rumors about her shrinking figure. However, now, the much-matured mother of two is speaking out and putting to rest all assumptions of an eating disorder.

Back in 2006, alarming photos were taken of Nicole and her bony figure on the beach in a bikini. This was the kick-off to a whirlwind of rumors, but even at the time, Nicole was addressing the issue, telling Vanity Fair, “I know I’m too thin right now. I’m not happy with the way I look right now.”

However, now nearly four years later, she’s opening up about how she really felt about all the scrutiny.

“I felt it was a little unfair to say someone has an eating disorder when they don’t,” she says in the March issue of British Marie Claire. “It’s extremely insulting and irresponsible.”

Adds Nicole, “An eating disorder is serious and it’s a disease.”

But now, with the love from boyfriend Joel Madden and their two beautiful children, Nicole doesn’t want to dwell on the past!

“I’m just one to live in the present and enjoy the time that I’m having,” she says. “Going into my past is just not something that I do.”

She continues, “Right now I’m just living my dreams.”

Currently, Nicole is working on an ABC sitcom which she would both star in and produce, based on the life of a career-driven women who balances her job and family. Additionally, her new clothing line, Winter Kate, is set to launch this spring.

Wow, it’s obvious that over the past few years Nicole has completely matured and really isn’t living such a Simple Life anymore! You go girl!

Happy Birthday Harlow!

Today, Monday Jan. 11, marks the second birthday of Harlow Winter Kate Madden, the daughter to Nicole Richie and Joel Madden.

And Nicole is set on making this the most special day for her daughter! This morning at 6 a.m., Nicole Tweeted, “Up super early sneaking around the house in the dark setting up surprises for when my birthday girl wakes up!”

And even before Nicole woke up, Harlow’s daddy wished his daughter a happy birthday via Twitter, saying, “Happy Birthday to the most beautiful little girl in the world. Harlow makes me proud every. single. Day. i’m blessed.”

Also to wish the little girl a happy b-day… Khloe Kardashian! “Happy Birthday Harlow!!!” she Tweeted earlier this morning.

What a lucky little girl! We can’t imagine what kind of presents and surprises Nicole has planned… but we bet she get’s spoiled rotten!

So maybe blondes don’t have more fun…

Nicole Richie ditched her blonde locks and debuted a darker do Saturday at the launch of the House of Harlow 1960 Holiday Collection at Bloomingdale’s in Costa Mesa, California.

“I did it about a week-and-a-half ago,” the mommy-of-two told Usmagazine.com when asked about her new look. “I change my hair color all the time, and I hadn’t done it in a few years. With the babies, I just really hadn’t had time. I’m so used to having that change all the time, and I hadn’t done it in about two years, so I was just ready and sick of being blonde! I was ready for a change!”

Hair color doesn’t define Ms. Richie’s fun though! This girl pops out LOLs like it’s her freakin’ job!

So what does the Richie-Madden bunch have planned for the holidays?

“I don’t have a lot of traditions,” she said. “I have gotten a new Christmas ornament every year so I will probably do that. I’m a big eggnog drinker. Not the kind with alcohol in it, but the regular kind. I thought that everyone drinks eggnog, but as I’m getting older, I’m learning that people actually think it’s really gross, but I love it, so I will definitely have some eggnog!”

It will for sure be a fun Christmas with two little kiddies running around!

Despite recent rumors claiming that Nicole Richie wants out of Hollywood, the former Simple Life star is headed back to the small screen!

Richie — who’s already a comedian in our eyes — has landed her own comedy pilot! She’s set to headline a half-hour sitcom in development at ABC, according to Variety.

The new show focuses around a professional woman with complicated family relationships who just can’t seem to figure out the her role in life and her family.

Hmm, sounds a bit like Nicole’s earlier life!

Surprisingly, Richie had the initial idea for the pilot and will also work as the producer on the upcoming show, according to the report.

Suh-weet! We couldn’t be more excited for Nicole’s TV comeback! Girl gave us a major case of the LOLs on The Simple Life and we can’t wait for more!

Nicole Richie is safe and sound at home with her family after an unexpected trip to the hospital last week!

The reality star checked herself into Cedars-Sinai Hospital early last week after becoming ill due to pneumonia.

“Don’t worry,” her boyfriend Joel Madden wrote on the website for his band, Good Charlotte. “All is well and we are home with no problems.”

Like your typical concerned boyfriend, rushing to his babies mama side after returning from an international tour, Madden says he, “stepped off the plane . . . and basically went straight to the hospital for the week . . . Family first.”

Is it just us or does he seem like the best boyfriend ever? The world seriously needs more Joel Maddens — a guy that knows how to treat a girl right — instead of all these ASSHOLES. Period.

Now that his girl is on the road to recovery, Madden is eager to get back to work on his band’s next album. Let’s hope he’s also keeping babies Harlow and Sparrow away from their germ infested mommy!

“Getting home from the hospital to a healthy family is enough for me, but to do what i love is the icing on the cake,” he writes.

Have these two set a wedding date yet because hands down, they’re the cutest couple in Hollywood!
