Nicole Richie and Joel Madden have decided L.A. is just too crazy to raise a kid, so they are blowing that taco stand for the normalcy of Maryland. The couple are planning to throw a big wedding at Papa Lionel’s house as a “farewell” to LA.

“The wedding will be Nicole and Joel’s goodbye to L.A.,” a close pal told the Enquirer. Guests are expected to included Paris Hilton, Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz, the Olsen twins, Gwen Stefani, and Tobey Maguire and his wife, Jennifer. “Joel really wants to keep the guest list short, but he also understands that Nicole wants one last big party in L.A.,” said the pal.”

If you are wondering, like I was, why they would chose the great state of Maryland..it’s because that’s Joel’s hometown.

BFF’s Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz and Gym Class Heroes‘ Travis McCoy displayed the artwork the friends made together this summer at last night’s “Without You I’m Just Me” exhibition at Gallery 1988 in West Hollywood.

On hand for support was his wife Ashlee Simpson, her sister Jessica Simpson, Nicole Richie and her baby daddy Joel Madden, and the freshly dumped and newly thin Benji Madden.

Pete and Travis describe their show as the following:

In the crazy-tip-turvy-Holllywood-world you have babies first…then you get married. Since Nicole and Richie and Joel Madden had their baby girl almost a year ago, they are ready to make it legal and honest. Sources report that Harlow’s momma and daddy are planning to get married on their baby’s birthday, January 11th.

“They want to set an example for Harlow. Nicole and Joel are doing this to seal their love legally. They want the ceremony to coincide with Harlow’s first birthday and be one big joyous occasion for everybody.”

Now it’s time for Paris Hilton and Rachel Zoe to slug it out over who will be her Maid of Honor. My money’s on Paris…she could give a serious beat down with those size 11 hooves.

I guess motherhood has softened Nicole Richie. So much so that she managed to make nice with her former stylist and arch-enemy Rachel Zoe. Nicole trashed her former friend on MySpace a few years ago, claiming that she had a raging eating disorder and then gave her the nickname ‘Raisinface’ after she fired her.

Rachel Zoe is responsible for that whole oversized sunglasses/scarf on the head/boho look that Nicole was rockin’ before she got pregnant.

I guess the two decided to let by-gones be by-gones as they chatted at the Alberta Ferretti store opening in L.A. this week.

It’s been over a year since Lindsay Lohan’s drug and alcohol addiction forced her into an addiction treatment program. And now the fallout from her crazy party life has caught up with her. LiLo is being sued by the three guys who were in the SUV that she commandeered to chase down her assistant in a L.A. street race that resulted in her second DUI arrest. These three guys say that Lindsay was “angry and aggressive” and were freaked out that Lindsay Lohan had jumped into their car and then proceeded to tear up the streets of Santa Monica. Although no one was injured, the boys say they were traumatized by Lindsay’s angry and intoxicated driving.

“Dante and Jakon continued to implore Lohan to slow down, stating specifically that she was endangering all of their lives and that they could be killed,” the lawsuit says. “Lohan refused to slow or stop, but instead responded with abusive cursing and vulgar language, including a statement that she did not care about the risk of death.”

Lindsay’s lawyer calls BS and says these guys were having a great time, “These guys had the night of their lives, playing with the radio and leaving the vehicle at one point and getting back in,” he says.

Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson look like they are vacationing at the same Mexican resort that Jennifer Aniston has been all week.

It’s painful to see Sam Ronson in a bikini. I don’t think it’s debatable to which one wears the pants in this relationship.

Either Fashion Week is very stressful for its guests or Nicole Richie just had one too many cocktails at an after-party for Charlotte Ronson this weekend. The New York Post reports that Nicole was partying with Charlotte’s sister Samantha Ronson and her “love” Lindsay Lohan threw a fit at the party when someone tried to take her picture.

As she walked out, “a young, Swedish tourist was trying to take her photo,” said one witness. Richie shouted, “I’m not an animal” then “jumped over the velvet rope, ripped the camera out of the girl’s hand, and smashed it to the ground.”

How does that expression go? If you can’t stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen?

I sit here in utter shock and disbelief as I type this. I have never watched a single episode of “The Simple Life” so I had no idea that Nicole Richie actually has wicked comedic talent. Check out this clip of Nicole mocking Kelly Ripa’s Pantene commercial during a guest appearance on MadTv back in 2006. The eyes, the voice, the timing…brilliant! We just might have to take Nicole out of the talentless celebutard category and advance her up to the celebrities with actual talent list.
