Nicole Richie’s Harper’s Bazaar interview: On charity, the papz, postpartum activities, tattoos, and friends
Here we are on our last installment of Nicole Richie’s interview in Harper’s Bazaar’s June 2008 issue. Enjoy the read everyone!
On the decision to start the Richie-Madden Children’s Foundation: I got like 10 cribs and 20 strollers. For one little girl! So we wanted to take the gifts we got and give them to the people who actually needed them. [We met with charity advising firm] Inspired Philanthropy, and they really opened our eyes. – Awww… such a generous heart their for someone once branded as a Hollywood bad girl.
On the paparazzi: It is scary. I don’t want that around her, I just don’t … it’s definitely the thing that makes me most nervous. [But] I’m the luckiest girl alive right now. I have nothing to complain about. – Well papz will always be papz; if the Jolie-Pitts were able to handle it well, so can the Richie-Maddens.
On complaints that she attended events at a few weeks postpartum: You know what? (furrows brow) I was gone for maybe three hours. I never go out. I go four or five days without leaving my house. But the press just went wild with it. [We have] a date night once a week. [Sometimes we see] a movie if the running time’s not too long. – And why has this been a big deal?
On tattoos: To be honest, it would completely break my heart if she got a tattoo! – Getting a doze of her own medicine, eh. Ah, motherhood!
On her close celebrity friends, such as Paris Hilton, Mischa Barton, and Mary-Kate Olsen: I feel like my group of five to ten friends, they really love [Harlow], like she’s theirs … my friends never go outside for smoke breaks anymore, they don’t curse, they are definitely more demure. It’s actually been really interesting. – Don’t you think this is one reason why Paris once was addicted to the thought of having her own child someday, too?
Sigh, it’s just a wonder what kind of change motherhood brings to a woman…

To
Honorable Sir
With due respect I am submitting few lines for your kind consideration. I have come to know through reliable sources and internet that you are devoting services for the well being of humanity.
Incidentally I am submitting that I have a large poor family. Therefore there is no financial support for me. Please help me financially. It will not be a great relief to a poor family but will also be a great act of charity on your honor part. I am waiting for your favorable reply.
I belong to a very poor family with all of the children under studying. All of my children are getting education some of them are in the college and one of them in the university.
Kindly help me as it can only change the life of one lady but also the life of one complete nation.
Yours faithfully
