| PARIS HILTON: I'VE NEVER CHANGED HARLOW'S DIAPERS! Blog |
Paris Hilton has to draw the BFF line somewhere.
The heiress - and Nicole Richie pal - says she won't change Harlow's diapers.
"Nicole is, like, the best mother. She's so hands on, so she does that," Hilton says on the Oct. 13 episode of The Tyra Banks show (check local listings). "I’ve never changed anyone’s diapers."
See what Nicole Richie looked like pregnant.
Hilton says she and beau Benji Madden have some time before they have a baby of their own.
For now, they like to spice things up. "Sometimes," she tells Banks, they take baths together.
"If we take a bath together, he’ll wash my hair," Hilton says. "We’re very close."
See photos of more couples who can't get enough of each other.
She says Madden first asked her out at Richie's mom's house.
"That was our date, and we played with Harlow, played music in the studio, and then we ended up going to see a movie and then from there..." says Hilton, who calls Madden "baby love."
Hilton also talks about her "baby voice," which she says she speaks in "when I get shy ... I've been doing it since I was a teenager, and I’m kinda trying to grow out of it now."
As for her new MTV reality show, Hilton says, "I just thought I would have a lot of fun to meet people who are not from Hollywood, not all jaded...."
Check out Hollywood's most famous BFFs.
More than 30,000 tried out for the show and "some had to pass a psych test - and some of them didn't," she says.
So what does Hilton look for in a BFF?
"Someone I can trust," she says. "I've been hurt in the past. I just want someone who's not using me. Someone who really wants to be my friend for the right reason."

| HOW MOTHERHOOD HAS DOMESTICATED NICOLE RICHIE Blog |
Look who's handy in the kitchen now: Nicole Richie!
"Food tastes better coming from your Mom because it's made with love," says the new mom, 27. So Richie purees steamed vegetables to make homemade baby food for the couple's 9-month old daughter, Harlow Winter Kate Madden.
Though Richie told PEOPLE in 2005, "I'm not domestic at all. I can't cook, I don't clean," she now mashes up everything from apples to green beans and bananas for her daughter.
Her boyfriend Joel Madden backs her culinary efforts 100-percent.
"We talk about it all the time," says the Good Charlotte frontman, 29. "It's an energy thing. I know exactly what's going into [Harlow's] body.""Her first food was sweet potatoes and she loved it," recalls Richie. "She ate the whole thing and it was all over the place – in her hair, on her nose, everywhere!"
Madden proudly declares he feeds Harlow "all the time," but adds that she has an independent streak.
"She likes to do it on her own," he says with a smile.

| DJ AM BENEFIT CONCERT ANNOUNCED Blog |
As DJ AM continues to recover from the tragic South Carolina plane crash which killed four others and seriously injured Travis Barker, his pals are preparing to welcome him home with a special benefit concert.
The 35-year-old DJ (whose real name is Adam Goldstein) has been "a close friend ... for many years," organizers said in a statement. "We owe him a debt of gratitude that we can never repay, but we hope this helps just a bit."
The bash – to be held Oct. 14 at Avalon Hollywood – will include performances from celebrity DJs, including Mark Ronson, Steve Aoki, Danny Masterson and Mixmaster Mike.
Tickets (available at Wantickets.com) cost $20 – with proceeds going to the memorial funds established crash victims. The Sept. 19 crash claimed the lives of pilot Sarah Lemmon, 31, of Anaheim Hills, Calif.; co-pilot James Bland, 52, of Carlsbad, Calif.; security guard Charles Still, 25, of Los Angeles; and Barker's assistant Chris Baker, 29, also of Los Angeles.
AM and Barker, who both sustained second- and third-degree burns, are expected to make a full recovery.

| DETAILS OF ASHLEE'S 'WHITE-TRASH' BIRTHDAY PARTY REVEALED Blog |
Ashlee Simpson-Wentz traded her stylish maternity wardrobe for trailer-park chic Friday night, at a costume party to celebrate her 24th birthday.
"It had a white-trash theme," says a guest who attended the bash at Simpson's parents' home in Encino. "Ashlee wore Daisy Dukes and platform flip-flops with a bathing suit and a fake tattoo around her belly."
The singer celebrated with friends and family including husband Pete Wentz, dad Joe and sister Jessica.
"Joe wore a cut-off muscle T-shirt and a mullet wig. It was funny," says a guest. "Jessica was wearing a crazy leopard-print dress that showed off a lot of cleavage."The menu included corn dogs, macaroni and cheese, chicken fingers and French fries.
With her first child due next month, an exhausted Simpson-Wentz headed home early, missing party guests Christina Aguilera, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden, who dropped by after hitting Gwen Stefani's birthday party earlier than night.
"Ashlee loves themed parties and costumes," says a friend. Last year, guests sported prom dresses, vintage tuxedos and fingerless gloves as Simpson-Wentz celebrated her birthday with an '80s bash.

| INSIDE GWEN STEFANI'S BIRTHDAY BASH Blog |
New mom Gwen Stefani rang in her 39th birthday with an A-list dance party at her Hollywood Hills home on Friday.
Stefani spent most of the night on an outdoor dancefloor at the bash hosted by husband Gavin Rossdale and attended by about 100 guests, including her No Doubt bandmates, Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore, newlyweds Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden, Christina Aguilera, Duran Duran's John Taylor and Stefani's own Harajuku Girls.
"The deejay played great music from the '80s and all her favorites – reggae, songs by The Specials, Fishbone, The Police," says a guest. "She danced all night and went from person to person just being the birthday girl." Stefani, who gave birth to son Zuma on Aug. 21 (his brother Kingston is 2), wore a black party dress with her blonde hair down and wavy. "You'd never guess she'd had baby 6 weeks ago," says the guest. "She looks great."
Guests dined on mini BLT sandwiches and pizzas and sang "Happy Birthday" to Stefani, who erupted into laughter when she was presented with a birthday cake decorated with pink candles.
"She just looks really happy and so good," says the guest. "She and Gavin were so sweet together."

| PARIS HILTON: I LOVE COOKING ITALIAN FOOD FOR BENJI MADDEN! Blog |
Just call her chef Paris Hilton!
"[Benji Madden and I] watch movies and I cook really big dinners for him," Hilton says on The Ellen DeGeneres Show (the episode airs Tuesday). "I'm an amazing cook!"
So what's on the menu?
"My whole life, my Mom taught me we’re Italian," says Hilton, 27.
The heiress says she's spending a lot more quiet nights inside these days with her beau of seven months.
"Just my whole lifestyle is different," she explains. "We don’t really go out as much anymore unless it’s for work. I just feel like an adult."
"When you’re single, it's different because you want to go out with your girlfriends and have fun," she says. "But when you’re in relationship and you're in love, there is no point in going out because you just want to be together and do normal things.
"I think for the first time I’m in a really great relationship with a guy I really trust and treats me really well and who would never hurt me," she adds.
See famous rocker romances.
Hilton gives mutual pal Nicole Richie credit for hooking her up with Madden.
"We’ve been friends for seven years. And then when Nicole had the baby, I went over there, and we hung out and got a crush on each other," Hilton says. "And then from there we were together."

• Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise, stepping out in sync – both dressed in gray blazers – for dinner at Italian restaurant Il Valentino in midtown Manhattan. Perhaps the outing was a celebration for Holmes's success in the Broadway show All My Sons? The drama, which is running in previews, officially opens Oct. 16.
• Nicole Richie, having a late lunch with 8-month-old daughter Harlow at the Beverly Hills Hotel's Polo Lounge. The new mom, who sported a red floral-printed shirt and jean shorts and wore her hair partially pulled back, dined with an unidentified older woman and nibbled on the McCarthy chopped salad between playing with her little girl. She and her companion smiled and cooed over Harlow throughout their meal.
• Owen Wilson, making a late-night pit stop at one of his favorite haunts, Venice, Calif., bar The Other Room. Dressed casually in jeans, a T-shirt and a dark flannel button-down, he made his way to the back of the very crowded venue and laughed with a male friend over a drink at the bar. Wilson welcomed several fans who stopped by to say hello before leaving inconspicuously after only 20 minutes. A couple of days later, the actor had dinner with two male friends at trendy Venice eatery Gjelina, where they talked quietly at one of the restaurant's communal tables.
• Lauren Conrad, holding hands with boyfriend Kyle Howard at a 30th birthday bash for club promoter Jean Paul Rodriguez at Teddy's at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. The Hills star and her man stole kisses in the privacy of their booth and were inseparable during the party. Also making the scene: Jamie-Lynn Sigler, who danced to Katy Perry's "I Kissed a Girl", Frankie Delgado, Jesse McCartney and Kevin Connolly.
• Colin Farrell, watching his novelist girlfriend Emma Forrest do a striptease burlesque number set to traditional Jewish music at Heeb magazine's "Heeb Storytelling" night at M Bar in Hollywood. Farrell sported his ladylove's Star of David necklace while partying with fellow event-goers Natalie Portman, Kate Beckinsale and Rose McGowan.
• Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder took over a dark corner of VIP-only Bar 1200 at the Sunset Marquis Hotel and Villas in West Hollywood. Reeves, dressed in jeans and a black blazer, and Ryder, wearing a black T-shirt and pants, sipped cocktails as they talked seriously. The actress, whose shoes were off, sat catty-corner from her former Dracula costar, who listened intently to her as he chain-smoked. As the night went on, the pair inched closer and closer to each other so that they ended up sitting side by side. They stayed until closing and then headed out together.

| NICOLE RICHIE ON HAVING MORE KIDS: "IF IT HAPPENS, IT HAPPENS" Blog |
Could Harlow have a little brother or sister soon?
"If it happens, it happens," Nicole Richie told Extra Monday.
She said she and Joel Madden are "just enjoying every day" raising eight-month-old daughter Harlow.
Look back on Nicole Richie's bump days.
"She is pulling herself up standing ... we don't have to burp her anymore," Richie said.
She's even beginning to form her first words.
"She says 'mama' and 'dada,'" Madden said. "She says 'dada' when she wants to play. Wants to laugh. And 'mama' is everything else. When we walk into a place, she waves to everyone."
What does the name Harlow mean?
Richie said she doesn't try to insulate Harlow from fame.
"My priority is to make her unaware. She's eight months now. I can't put her in the infant seat and cover her. She'd definitely know something's going on ... she wants to experience life and, as a mother, that's important."
Richie and Madden are also getting more involved in children's charity work. (The pair started the Richie-Madden Children's Foundation to help needy mothers last November.)
Their new initiative: Encouraging people to text "child" to 9-0999 ($5 will be donated to a children’s charity they sponsor).
Being a parent, Madden said, "opens your eyes. Every child I look at reminds me of my child. And every mother I see reminds me of Nicole."

Giving is taking a new form, courtesy of the parents to Harlow Richie-Madden.
Nicole Richie and Joel Madden announced Monday a text-messaging effort with MySpace to benefit their Richie-Madden Children's Foundation.
"We hope our support will shine a spotlight on important issues facing children and will inspire and educate the public, especially young people, to get involved, too," the couple says on their Webpage. "We want to do more than write checks."
Interested parties can text "child" to 90999. In addition, visitors to Richie and Madden's MySpace page can make a $5 donation by entering their cell phone number. The program aims to benefit low-income families, build playgrounds, offer medical services, and give baby products to mothers. Foundation partners include the Los Angeles Free Clinic, UNICEF and Children's Health Fund.

| GOOD CHARLOTTE ROCKER 'SHOCKED – BUT EXCITED' BY BABY NEWS Blog |
Good Charlotte guitarist Billy Martin says everything froze the moment he found out his wife was pregnant with their first child, due in late January.
"We bought a pregnancy test without even stressing or sweating," says Martin, who married hairstylist Linzi on March 1, their eight-year dating anniversary. "She went to take it, I sat down at my desk, and two minutes later she came out and said, 'I'm pregnant!'
"All the sound in the world stopped for a minute. I was shocked – but excited," says Martin, 27, who announced the news on his blog last week. He and Linzi, 25, are planning an Alice's Adventures In Wonderland-themed nursery that they'll customize once they find out the baby's gender.
"If it's a girl, maybe more Alice-based, and if it's a boy, more Mad Hatter and Cheshire Cat," says Martin, who is drawing inspiration from Disney's Alice, vintage Lewis Carroll book illustrations, and the upcoming Tim Burton-helmed Alice film."We're not going to do anything dark and spooky that's going to scare the baby," says Martin with a laugh. "We want a lighter, happier version."
The guitarist – an accomplished painter and illustrator with his own T-shirt line, Level 27 – will also create some original artwork for his baby.
He says bandmate Joel Madden, who's dad to 8-month-old daughter Harlow with girlfriend Nicole Richie, has been a great source of advice.
"Joel says it's going to change my whole world, but fatherhood is the best thing that ever happened to him," says Martin. "He tells me not to stress out, and to try to take everything in stride and enjoy it because it's the coolest thing that can happen to you."
Next up for Martin: A remix album for Good Charlotte, and a children's book he wrote and illustrated called Damious McDreary: A Boy and his Bat, which will be released in fall 2009.

| DAD-TO-BE PETE WENTZ SERENADES BABY Blog |
Pete Wentz is already facing his first daddy dilemma. As a Chicagoan, will his baby with wife Ashlee Simpson root for the Cubs or the White Sox?
"If my dad has anything to say about it, I'm sure he will be a Cubs fan." the Windy City native told PEOPLE Sunday at the Nike + Human Race at Soldier Field in Chicago. "If my friends have anything to say about it, it will probably be a Sox fan. So, knowing me, it will probably come out a mathematician."
The Fall Out Boy bassist has definitely been studious in his fact-finding mission about fatherhood. Besides reading books including The Expectant Father, Wentz, 29, said one famous friend in particular has been a wealth of information.
"Joel [Madden] gives me advice," Wentz said of the Good Charlotte rocker, who's dad to 7-month-old daughter Harlow with girlfriend Nicole Richie. "[It's] been really awesome for me to go to another person my age." During Fall Out Boy's performance at the Nike + Human Race, Simpson – wearing a black blouse and purple pants – hung out backstage with friends. While the band played their cover of Michael Jackson's "Beat It," she started dancing with her arms around her belly.
So, could the song end up on Simpson's labor playlist? "That's probably going to be all up to Ashlee – what she picks," Wentz said. "I couldn't be like, 'Oh, you're going through labor, here's the music I want you to listen to.' So, it's whatever she picks."
That may include his own vocals. Wentz said he sings to the baby "late at night .... Baby's gotten a couple lullabies."
In a recent posting on Simpson's blog, she joked that while she's pregnant, her "closet full of size 0's are being worn by Pete right now and he looks hot in them."

She adds: "I can't think of a thing that I did, that I loved, that Paul wasn't a part of. It's a horrible shock to me. He was such a warm, kind, wonderful man. He will be missed." Speaking to PEOPLE on Wednesday at Walt Disney's 10th Anniversary party for the Baby Einstein line of merchandise, Garner, 36, held back tears as she remembered her dear friend.
"We were really close," the actress says. "He was supposed to do my makeup this morning so that we could catch up. I think that the world just got a little less pretty."
In addition to Garner, with whom he had worked for several years, Starr created signature looks for stars such as Angelina Jolie, Nicole Richie, and Madonna, and considered among his closest friends actress Rosanna Arquette.
The cause of Starr's death was unknown, pending an autopsy.

| NICOLE RICHIE'S NEW (CHARITABLE) GIFT REGISTRY Blog |
Nicole Richie is behind a new online gift registry that will provide baby products to moms in need.
Richie will launch the Web site this fall through her Richie-Madden Children's Foundation, the charity she and boyfriend Joel Madden started last winter when she was pregnant with daughter Harlow.
"Nicole saw that even a clean blanket was out of reach for some of these new moms so she wanted to figure out an efficient way to connect them with companies and individuals who want to help," foundation director Bruce Richman tells PEOPLE.
The registry will start off helping families in the Los Angeles and New York areas before expanding throughout the country and internationally.
"We take for granted the basic necessities. For some families, it's a serious struggle," Richie tells PEOPLE. "This is one way to ease the financial burden, and help new babies have a good start in life. We are only working with companies and products that Joel and I would use. We're checking every product out for safety – and all products are BPA-free." Here's how it will work: Families will sign up through local social service agencies. A list of baby products they need – such as cribs, strollers or blankets – will be posted on the Web site. Donors can view the wish-lists and choose what to contribute (much like a wedding or baby gift registry).
Richie and Madden hope to feature baby products that they would use with their own daughter, 7-month-old Harlow.
The foundation is still lining up sponsors for the as-yet unnamed registry site, which is being guided by DonorsChoose.org and Baby2Baby.org.

| JOEL MADDEN: NICOLE'S A NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK FAN! Blog |
Nicole Richie may be blissfully in love with her musician beau, Good Charlotte lead vocalist Joel Madden, but romance aside, the star's musical tastes veer more toward the late '80s and early '90s, Madden has revealed.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight Canada, airing Thursday and conducted recently at Toronto's Ultra Supper Club before Madden, 29, kicked off a deejay set, the rocker said, Richie, 26, "likes a lot of old stuff."
"She'd probably like to hear a lot of fun stuff like New Kids on the Block or Bell Biv DeVoe or something like that," he said. "She likes to have fun and listen to that stuff."As for their 7-month-old daughter Harlow, Madden said she hasn't yet fine-tuned her musical tastes. "It really doesn't matter right now. I'll play her lullabies at home."
He added, "I'm a cool dad. I can still go out and rock and roll a bit and hang out and deejay, but I'm definitely all about my family. Family first."
As for the question on everyone's mind – When are he and Richie getting married? – Madden said, "Right now we're happy and everything is great. I'm moving at our own pace. We kind of do things our own style. So we're happy."

off, the happy family – plus a younger, tattooed guy and an older
blonde female companion – took their seats in first class.
"The baby was wide eyed, watching everyone walk onto the plane," the
onlooker tells us.

his table. But when she was singing, Parton had the crowd entertained:
Katherine Heigl and Josh Kelleyclapped and sang along from their seats, about 10 rows from the stage.
Nearby, Rose McGowan, in a yellow frock, stood up to clap and dance
along too. Even Jackass star Johnny Knoxville showed his
Parton fandom. He was spotted checking out Dolly tees and talking animatedly
to concertgoers.

• Mary Kate Olsen, lightening her locks at Neil
George Salon in Beverly Hills (where Reese Witherspoon also recently went blonder!). The fashionista arrived for her appointment
sans makeup – and sporting a plaid shirt, loose white T-shirt and
gladiator sandals. Her touch-up was just as low-key – "her usual blonde highlights," an observer tells
us. Also at the salon that day: Amanda Peet.• Courteney Cox Arquette and Brittny Gastineau, waiting (separately!) for their cars at the valet
station of L.A.'s Sunset Tower Hotel. The former Friend was with a friend,

good time," an observer tells us.
• Eva Longoria Parker's Hollywood
restaurant Beso drew in the stars this week. On Wednesday evening, the

Longoria Parker sent over a free dessert to Griffin just before Dickinson
made a beeline for the reality star, exclaiming, "I want to go lick Kathy
Griffin's face!" She didn't, but the comedian still looked shellshocked
after their tête-à-tête.

| PARIS HILTON: I FEEL LIKE A GROWN-UP NOW Blog |
Paris Hilton may have been surrounded by adults dressed as superheroes and Star Wars characters at San Deigo's Comic-Con International, but the heiress-turned-actress says "I just feel like a grown-up now," thanks to her current romance with musician Benji Madden and their more low-key lifestyle.
"I think my whole life I was kind of living as a teenager and not really taking responsibility," Hilton, who visited the Con to support her new film – and well-received performance in – Repo! The Genetic Opera, told PEOPLE. "Now I realize that I'm an adult and I'm running a huge company and I'm in love. I'm in a great relationship. I have my family. I'm just excited for life."
When the notion of tying the knot with Madden (whose brother Joel is the paramour of Nicole Richie) was broached, Hilton was cautiously optimistic. "I don't know," she mused. "We're so in love and so happy right now and it's only been like six months. So we'll see what happens, but we're so in love and so happy and things have never been better. I finally have a nice guy."
The couple is also making beautiful music together in the studio. "We just wrote together," Hilton said. "I had a whole recording studio in my house and so we've been working there every night. We wrote together on two songs for my Best Friends show."
"He helps me because he's an incredible writer and we're on the same wavelength and so we're working well together as a team," she said. "Benji will bring us beats and then we literally just sit there and write to the beats about what I want to talk about. The music is really fun. It's really just happy and fun dance music."
And Hilton and Madden are also occasionally pulling babysitter duty for his niece Harlow. "We just saw her like a week ago. She had her six-month birthday. I can't believe it. She's getting so big and is so cute. She's laughing now and trying to call which is so sweet. I love babies!"

| KATIE HOLMES TO GUEST STAR ON ELI STONE Blog |
Katie Holmes is returning to her small screen roots with a guest-starring role on one episode of Eli Stone this fall, Entertainment Weekly reports.
The executive producer of the ABC show, Greg Berlanti, also worked on Dawson's Creek, which made Holmes a star in the late '90s.
