EXCLUSIVE: JOEL MADDEN TONIGHT!!!

Good Charlotte's Joel Madden calls exclusively in to The Ralphie Radio Show on behalf of Senator and Democratic Presidential Candidate Barack Obama! Tonight at 7P on 97 BHT!

lionel makes a funny - at nicole's expense...

here's what papa richie said after receiving the "icon" honor at last night's tv land awards taping...

“Forget about surviving 40 years in the music business,” Lionel Richie told the audience. “Just surviving 27 years of Nicole Richie has been a struggle-and-a-half, I want to tell you. I stand here as a survivor, I want you to know, for all the parents out there.”

wonder what his son-in-law thought of that?

jimmy kimmel is f-ing ben affleck.

of course the video is a response to this from sarah silverman, kimmel's gf.

holy cameos. i wonder how jennifer garner feels about this?

more awkwardness courtesy of tyra with joel madden.

hear clips from this tonight on the show... and scroll five minutes in to see joel turn red after being asked if he plans on marrying nicole richie...

nicole puts out the smoke...

nicole richie isn't too happy. the new york post just reported that she's been spotted throughout new york city smoking - yes, while preggo. now nicole's rep issued these pictures to tmz along with the facts - nicole hasn't been in the city since the diane sawyer interview - richie isn't even in the country. nicole along with her baby's daddy joel madden have been gallivanting throughout australia and thailand.

benji + joel = badasses.

just found this from rolling stone... real interesting read...

(click above to check out their latest music video)

What’s the most rock star thing you’ve ever done?
Benji Madden: I smoked a cigarette on a plane one time in my seat, how about that? I got a little tattoo on my face, I’ll never be able to work another real job so I consider that to be kinda forcing myself to stick to music.

Who’s the coolest person you ever met?
Joel Madden: I think Billie Joe Armstrong is probably one of the coolest musicians I’ve ever met because he’s so down to earth for being in such a big band.
Benji Madden: I bummed a cigarette off of Alec Baldwin, that was pretty cool.
Joel Madden: I met Eric Clapton one time, he was really cool.

What’s on your current playlist?
Joel Madden: My favorite band right now is the Kooks.
Benji Madden: Oh, that Silverchair album would have to be one of them. And I just got a Chimera record, It’s pretty dope, really good riffs.

What was your favorite album when you were fourteen years old?
Joel Madden: Probably Dookie, Green Day.
Benji Madden: Nevermind by Nirvana. That was a big one for me.

What’s the essence of Good Charlotte?
Benji Madden: I think the soul of Good Charlotte is just feeling good. A lot of bands don’t really like each other. I read an Interpol interview the other day, it was a really good interview because it was showing a different aspect of a band. They don’t really like each other — they work together and they kinda exist together and that’s how they like it. They’re like, “we didn’t get into this band looking for friends.” The three of us actually started this band when we were in tenth grade and I think we still have that attitude. I think what defines our band is really that you know we’re just living our dream and making records that we love and having a good time.

What happens when the band gets drunk together?
Joel Madden: [Bassist] Paul [Thomas] is really honest when he’s drunk. When he gets really drunk he will tell me what he thinks of every decision I’ve made in my life. It’s pretty refreshing in a weird way. And very loving. I got all this work done to the front of my house. [Mocking] “All that work you put into the front of your house, you’re probably just wasting your money because I know you you’re probably gonna move in a year and all that money you dumped into it isn’t really bringing the value up.” I was like, thanks man, I was really proud of it, thanks a lot.

relatable celebs.

i'm a big fan of doing like the celebs do (or the celebs doing like we do).

over on the tmzeezy, nicole richie is seen playing throughout manhattan - working out, eating out, and walking about. meanwhile baby daddy joel madden is on the opposite side of the city that never sleeps. the good charlotte emcee grabs some of the starbucks for the gf and himself.

downtown manhattan on a sunny summer day, head to toe in black, with a hot starbucks drink? wow.

(btw - current starbucks preference - grande iced coffee, no-fat, two splenda).

joel's band opened up for justin timberlake at the world's most famous arena later that night.

meanwhile on the west coast - nicole's former simple life co-star enjoys some fine late-night dining.

paris hilton, sister nicky, and their entire entourage took over an international house of pancakes after a night of clubbing, according to tmz.

at least skinny, ex-con celebutants enjoy drunk food just like the rest of us. (exhale).

nicole looks healthy

richie and her bf/baby's daddy joel madden stroll through nyc. nicole is with joel on good charlotte's tour - and even accompanied him to gc's acoustic performance here in wilkes-barre a few weeks ago.
