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?

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.

now you see her...

now you don't.

on the same day that lindsay lohan pled guilty to a number of misdemeanors, nicole richie surrendered to authorities and began her jail term for the DUI conviction.

eighty-two long minutes later, richie was released due to overcrowding.

the l.a. county sheriff's department had this to say to tmz...

"On August 23 2007, at 3:15 PM Miss Nicole Camille Richie reported to CRDF and surrendered herself following a July 27 arrest, she was sentenced to serve 96 hours in County Jail. Miss Richie was accompanied by her attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley and her boyfriend Joel Madden. Miss Richie was booked and processed into the jail system. Miss Richie was cooperative during the process. Based on her sentence and federal court guidelines, Miss Richie was released at 4:37 PM today."

anyone taking bets on how long they'll keep lilo in once she begins her 24-hour sentance?

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.
