Nicole Richie Watch

Farewell!

Antony Meradi — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 23:20:58 +0000

This is my last post I will be doing for Nicole Richie Watch. I have had a great time dishing about that beautiful, interesting starlet and I will certainly miss writing about her. Due to certain circumstances, I cannot manage to put in the proper amount of work to upkeep this blog, as you can see by the scarcity of recent articles. Therefore, I hope you can give the next writer the same courtesy and respect that I have been blessed with writing this blog. But don’t be deterred, I still am writing for ABC Soaps Watch on 451 Press- please do check that out if you can.

Farewell, Its been a fun ride.

Nicole Richie Lands in Land of Oz

Antony Meradi — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 22:41:37 +0000

Nicole Richie, along with fiancee Joel Madden, has arrived in Australia as part of Madden’s band Good Charlotte’ s Aussie tour. Along with them, his brother Benji Madden and his fiancee Sophia Monk came for the Aussie tour. When Benji and Sophia left the airport, they had no car service to escort them to the hotel, so they had to rent cars- but alas it was a eco-friendly Toyota Prius, so I applaud them for that. The hospitality in Australia is shot by that comment, I am sorry for any offense that was taken. His brother, Joel, was busy pushing the mounds of luggage of his fiancee, Nicole.

Very familiar with causing controversy as she is with high fashion, Richie, who by the way is six months pregnant - combined the two when she disembarked at Brisbane airport wearing a pair of silver stilettos. Richie did her best to keep a low profile but it was next to impossible with her huge fame, even down under. Her bulging belly was hardly noticeable beneath her t-shirt, although she is three months from her due date. The doctors gave her the green light to travel the 14-hour flight to Australia, where it was believed Nicole and Joel’s child was conceived. Hey maybe this could be the place where the little baby could be born, now wouldn’t that be cool. This is a very busy week for the pair with them kicking off the tour tonight in Brisbane, then jetting off to Sydney for the Nickelodeon Kid’s Choice Awards tomorrow, and finally performing a show at Hordern Pavilion on Thursday.

Nicole Richie Not Marrying Joel Madden Next Week

Antony Meradi — Sat, 06 Oct 2007 11:42:53 +0000

No, Nicole Richie will not marry Joel Madden next week as suspected- because of the Good Charlotte tour in Australia, they will have to wait. Last week, TMZ claimed that Nicole and Joel would exchange vows in Laguna, CA on October 13- maybe they changed their minds? TMZ even went as far as to name the wedding planners for the event- can’t a celebrity have a private wedding anymore, this is an invasion of privacy. A source told US Weekly, “We are all laughing about it. The tour is still on and they have no marriage plans yet.” Also wedding organizer, Lorraine Keseloff denied involvement in the alleged Richie/Madden wedding. She says, “I have no idea how this all got started. It’s been the most bizarre weekend. It’s all completely false.”

Nicole Richie Enters Alcohol Education Program

Antony Meradi — Sat, 29 Sep 2007 11:23:07 +0000

Nicole has entered the mandatory alcohol education program, after her DUI conviction in the past year of which she avoided 96 hours of jail time. Here is the full article:

“Simple Life” star Nicole Richie has enrolled in an 18-month anti-drinking program, media reported Friday.

The six-month-pregnant Nicole signed up for the SB 38 Alcohol Program on Sept. 26.

The program is for “people who have been convicted of DUI of alcohol or drugs on more than one occasion within a 7 year period,” according to the Santa Barbara Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse website.

In the course, Richie will have to undergo 52 hours of group counseling, biweekly face-to-face interviews and 12 hours of alcohol education.

Richie was arrested for DUI on Dec. 11 after she was spotted driving the wrong way down Highway 134 in southern California. She admitted to smoking marijuana and taking the painkiller Vicodin.

She already had an alcohol-related conviction back in 2003.

Nicole Richie and Sophie Monk to Follow the Band

Antony Meradi — Fri, 28 Sep 2007 00:22:36 +0000

Nicole Richie, fiancee of Joel Madden, and Sophie Monk, engaged to Joel’s brother Benji, are both following Good Charlotte on their next tour- which is in Australia for two weeks. Here is some more of the article:

Richie, who is five months pregnant, Monk and the Maddens were last in Australia in April for the MTV Video Music Awards in Sydney.

If you do the maths, Richie’s baby may have very well been conceived in Australia.

It was also in Sydney that she and Joel reportedly broke up and that, behind the scenes, she was unhappy during the whole trip.

Having linked up with Monk, Benji Madden calls Australia his second home.

When they were last here, for the MTV awards, a huge horde of paparazzi chased their every move, and the same can be expected this trip.

Nicole Doesn’t Have to Wait in Line

Antony Meradi — Wed, 26 Sep 2007 04:01:39 +0000

Nicole Richie with her fiancee, Joel Madden, showed that she didn’t need to wait in the line at the airport security. She made her way through the velvet ropes but of course she had to remove her shoes, like any other human being but I wouldn’t say she is a risk. I know there are those who feign pregnancy to hide weapons or whatnot at airports but she isn’t one of those- definetly not a terrorist. Here is the video courtesy of TMZ:

Nicole Celebrates Her B-Day in Hawaii

Antony Meradi — Sat, 22 Sep 2007 11:34:35 +0000

Birthday girl Nicole Richie and fiancee Joel Madden were in Hawaii to celebrate her 26th b-day yesterday. She looks very healthy and seems to be enjoying life now. In honor of this joyous day, I will also post her full biography plus a picture from her special day:

Nicole Camille Escovedo was born in Berkeley, California, on September 21, 1981. Her biological parents were Peter Michael Escovedo, a member of Lionel Richie’s band and brother to ’80s pop percussionist Sheila E., and an anonymous backstage assistant.

At the age of 3, for financial reasons, Nicole moved in with her father’s bandmate Lionel and his then-wife Brenda Harvey-Richie. Six years later, Richie officially adopted Nicole.

There are plenty of privileges to being raised in affluent circles. Nicole’s formative years were spent at Los Angeles’ prestigious Buckley School, where she met and befriended Paris Hilton the heir to the Hilton empire.

But money is also often synonymous with the fast lane, and as a teenager Nicole began partying hard and experimenting with drugs and alcohol. Following her high school graduation in 2000, she decided to go to college.

She enrolled in the University of Arizona, the same school as pro basketball player Luke Walton and actress Heather Blair. Nicole dropped out after two years.

At this point, with the influences of her youth still fresh in her mind, Nicole decided to become a musician. She founded the rock band Darling with model Josie Maran and socialite sisters Soleil and Sofia Alberti.

On her own and on the loose, Nicole never broke out of the pattern of her teenage years. In February of 2003, the police pulled her over in Malibu. She was questioned and it was soon discovered she was driving with a suspended license. Upon searching her Mercedes-Benz, police found heroin in the car and Nicole was immediately arrested. She later plead guilty to all charges. Nicole was sentenced to probation and ordered to attend a drug rehabilitation program.

Nicole was first signed on to The Simple Life as a replacement for Paris’ sister Nicky, who was approached by FOX executives, but wasn’t interested in participating. The show aired in December of 2003 and was successful enough to justify a sequel series, which aired the following summer.

The fame that The Simple Life earned her allowed Nicole to branch out. She made appearances on such shows as Eve (starring rapper Eve), Punk’d, Rock Me Baby, and MADtv. She was cast alongside Julie Bowen in Kids In America, and is still working on breaking into the music industry.

Nicole and Joel Plan to Marry

Antony Meradi — Fri, 21 Sep 2007 02:21:06 +0000

So apparently, Joel and Nicole are to get married sometime in the next few months, I assume. It would be romantic for it to be a New Years wedding or maybe even a Christmas wedding; I guess only time will tell.

Although the pair do want to walk down the aisle, it won’t be this month as reports have claimed.

Joel said: “Obviously, marriage is in our future. I don’t know when or where or how, but right now our priority is our family and is the baby.

“That’s all we’ve been thinking about. We are in love and are really happy.”

He added the pair have started planning for the baby’s arrival.

“We’ve started it. I already went to Target and got a stroller and a playpen.

“I’m excited. We are all really excited about it. It’s the best thing that has ever happened to us. It’s awesome.”
