The Perfectly Imperfect Ballerina Girl

Harlow Winter Kate Madden Pictures: Not Coming Soon!

2008-02-18T14:33:00.000-08:00

Perez Hilton and other loser no life bloggers like him are reporting that Harlow Winter Kate's Pictures have been sold. Hmmm ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE.

Joel Madden and Nicole Richie have not immediate plans to release pictures of their daughter. They are keeping things under wraps for now and keeping her to themselves.

Let me point out that loser no life perez hilton reported in January that people bumped Harlow's first pictures for Matthew and Camille's baby announcement. Well where are the pictures now Perez. What a lying, rumour spreading loser. Anywho look out for Harlow's first pictures around Spring time, April or May and that with a strong maybe. I have been really surprised at Nicole's reluctance to show pictures. She is being very protective. Joel on the other hand is so proud to show her off. Incase you were wondering, Harlow has Nicole's features. She is brown hair and blue eyes. one word Gorgeous!

Ballerina Observation: It’s like Brangelina all over again.

2007-07-21T22:45:00.000-07:00

[Brad, Angelina, Jennifer and the shocking pregnancy] or is it [Joel, Nicole, Hilary and the shocking pregnancy]

Nicole fell in love again, A lot of Nicole Richie fans were very distraught when Nicole and Adam broke off their engagement in 2005. They always seem so in love and like the perfect couple. Their love story as portrayed in Nicole’s novel “The Truth About Diamonds” was so sweet and romantic and the highlight of the book for me.

Unfortunately they did not have a happy ending like we all expected. Nicole for one did not take it well. 2006 was a rough year for her, she struggled with her weight and everyone could see that she was depressed. Nicole and Adam tried to make their relationship work but after two makeup and breakup incidents, they called in off permanently in May 2006.

Nicole met Joel and fell in love again, since they started dating in November of 2006, they have been inseparable with Nicole going on tour with Joel and moving into his home. I’m happy to see Nicole happy and in love again. I didn’t really know Joel but I have checked him out and I believe he is a great guy for Nicole. Based on the way Nicole is happy all the time and the fact that they are inseparable, I am hopeful that Nicole has found her prince.

Now here comes the drama. Although Joel was completely single when he and Nicole started officially dating (mostly in secret), Joel’s ex girlfriend Hilary Duff has made it her life mission to throw dirt at their relationship.

First in her new album, she made references to Nicole. Nicole was a spokes model for Jimmy Choo and she is born and bred in Beverly Hills; so the track Dignity might be about a lot of people as she so claims, but the shots at Nicole are very decipherable.

Secondly, in her interviews, she keeps talking almost obsessively in my opinion about Joel. Being that she broke up with him, I wonder why she refuses to move on with her life. After several months, and it being obvious that Joel and Nicole were in a serious relationship, Hilary decided to go in for the kill, she has called their relationship a rebound, cheesy and fake. She accused Joel of changing into a different person and becoming a party animal. I’m not sure who died and made Hilary king, but she needs to shut her trap and stop acting like a jealous and desperate bitch. Her new tactic to keep herself in the press by attaching herself to Nicole’s exes is so pathetic. I was going to just ignore her petty and desperate attempts to be noticed but after reading this week’s intouch magazine, I decided to write something about it.

The press is now panting Nicole as a Hollywood bad girl that stole the good girl’s boyfriend. It’s like brangelina all over again. What are the similarities you ask, here goes:

Joel Madden is Brad Pitt; a guy whose fans believe to be a great guy, almost possessive of his life and actions. He really can do no wrong in his fans eyes, because even though it is was clearly his decision to date a girl like Nicole Richie, his fans believe he is being seduced or tricked into the relationship. They believe maybe he is in a trance and most of them are hoping and praying for him to snap out of and eventually break it up. Noway could it be that perhaps he likes her and finds are incredible.

Hilary Duff is the new Jennifer Aniston, she is probably a nice person in her life. But everyone but her fans can recognize that she is just an average looking girl with mediocre talent that somehow got lucky. She is always portrayed as the good girl, the so called girl next door. The reason anyone was interested in her in the first place was because she was in a somewhat interesting relationship people were curious about. Now that that relationship is over, she spends all her time publicly making disparaging remarks about her ex and his new relationship.

Nicole Richie is Angelina Jolie. She is a kid born into Hollywood by a famous father, she grew up to be a Hollywood wild child. People expect her to have had a privileged life, but instead struggled with a lot of demons including drug use. Dealing with a lot of daddy issues stemmed from her parents divorce. She reached a stage in her life when she wants to turn her life around and become a better person. The masses however refuse to give her a second chance. Whether is bringing up her drug use, past relationships - in Angelina’s case blood in a vile and in Nicole’s case her DUI charge. They refuse to left her live any of her past mistakes down. And don't forget the constant eating disorder rumors as well.

Jennifer Aniston/Hilary Duff, is using her so called good girl image to highlight Angelina Jolie/Nicole Richie’s scarred past. In her interview in Vanity Fair (for Jennifer Aniston)/ Seventeen, Star & Hollywood Life (for Hilary Duff) she says some really unforgivable stuff. Remember just after their split when Jennifer/Hilary claimed that she and Brad/Joel were still friends? She was desperate to portray the image of "great friendship" with her ex. Well, not anymore after these articles became public. We all know now that she has been cut off completely by him.

Just for good measure; DJ AM is Billy Bob Thorthon. People continue to wonder how such an ordinary guy regardless of his immense talent at what he does, could have snagged a Hollywood princess. And then wonder how the hell he could have let her go and broken her heart.

Now, obviously Brad/Joel is a grown man and knows exactly what he is doing. It’s really interesting that he gets no blame from this “love triangle.” He instead refuses to talk about his relationship with Angelina/Nicole as a way of protecting her. It may seem like Brad/Joel and Angelina/Nicole are moving really fast especially with the pregnancy happening only months after they got together. But I believe that Love is Love and when you find the right person, you move head on, you have little doubt because you finally have peace and joy in each other and the rumors are impenetrable because what you secretly share comforts as well. It’s really sad that the media continues to attack Angelina/Nicole in the tabloids and come up such vicious lies (infidelity for Angelina and Drug Use for Nicole), the person that knows her best and has somewhat saved her and given her hope and true love is Brad/Joel.

Some don’t understand how Angelina/Nicole can have such a dedicated fan base, after all her very unusual behavior. But the fact is these fans recognize her individuality and outspokenness and that rare thing called the “IT” factor. She is just an interesting person just by herself; the tabloids know that, that’s why they will never leave her alone. Unlike Jennifer/Hilary, as time passes, the media will begin to realize that the reason they paid attention to her in the first place was because she was with Brad/Joel. But now that she is not, the truth will be revealed and she is not only mediocre but has no spark or star quality and absolutely nothing interesting to say.

What I personally despise the most about Jennifer/Hilary is that I know she is secretly praying for a break up and even though she has publicly said she will always love Brad/Joel, seeing his happiness with Angelina/Nicole portrayed in the media really depresses her and I refuse to support anyone that cannot wish happiness to a couple as they are expecting their first biological child together.

One more comment about Hilary, she took a step below Jennifer as if that was possible my making fun of Nicole' s being adopted on a Baltimore radio station. The exact quote; "she is not even his real daughter". That to me just makes her scum, tacky and tasteless!

What I love about Angelina/Nicole is that she has NEVER publicly criticized anyone ever in the press. This is really amazing considering how so many people feel like an expert when discussing her life. She has the "I could careless" attitude about the rumors which drives the media even crazier and they write even more elaborate lies about her.

She is also friends with all her exes and always leaves her relationship on a good note. I know she still loves Billy Bob/DJ AM but not the way she is in love with Brad / Joel. I love that they are at least on speaking terms because Billy Bob / DJ AM is a really good guy but just not “the one”.

Angelina/Nicole was so affectionate with Billy Bob / DJ AM. I hope with time she and Brad/Joel will became more affectionate with each other in public.

MADCHIE IS THE NEW BRANGELINA.

BRAD & ANGELINA 4EVER!

JOEL & NICOLE 4EVER!

Ballerina Obsession Part 3: They really hate themselves for being so fixated on her.

2007-07-21T22:37:00.001-07:00

The most obsessed person with Nicole Richie is no doubt the man called Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr. No week goes by that he does not obsessively blog about Nicole Richie. Even now that Nicole is keeping a low profile and staying completely out of the media, Mario will still obsessively write blogs about her whereabouts.

He makes up stories about her and others for his own pleasure and then goes around talking about how he is fair to everyone. What a joke!

For example, he wrote repeated blogs about Isaiah Washington in regards to his homophobic slur. He thought he had the power to end Isaiah’s career. Not! I do not condone discrimination of any kind but at the same time I still believe he was treated unfairly and I am glad he has another TV show. Now if Mario is so fair and balanced like FOXNEWS, then why does he not go after Paris. I love Paris and I have not problems with her. However, Paris has been caught on tape doing drugs and using homophobic and racial slurs. But does Mario report that on his fair and balanced site? Of course not! Instead he kisses her ass hoping to find lose change at her feet.

Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr. is a complete and shameless brownnoser.

Pity, it’s not his fault; he just can’t help himself.

I will send Mario off and all his little imitators (not worthy of mentioning unless I can find their real names) with a quote from Nicole Richie which I really believe they all need to mediate on:

“Why give people the satisfaction of letting them get the best of you, when you clearly already know they envy and want to be you. You should feel bad that they are pathetic to want to live their lives through your downfall. People are too weak to follow their own dreams and discourage yours. It’s a natural thing, don’t curse it, bless it. You know you are truly awesome when people you don’t even know or care to know about, spend all their time hating you.”

So Bless you Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr. and all his followers and imitators, hope you all get everything that you rightfully deserve in life: the good, the bad and the ugly.

Ballerina Obsession Part 2: Nicole Richie, What's Not to Love?

2007-06-29T14:53:00.000-07:00

To say that Nicole Richie has lived The Simple Life would be stereotyping at its finest. She is the epitome of socialite, right? Young, rich, gorgeous and most importantly, famous for no reason. But in REALITY, things are never so simple. Simply stated, Nicole Richie is just your average American girl.

Because of her famous father, Lionel Richie, Nicole has had to grow up in the public eye. Did she ask for the fame? No. Does she embrace it? Yes. Who wouldn't? At least she is entertaining. The truth of the matter is that we all like her because we can relate to her.

At 25 years old, Richie, like all of us, has had her fair share of hardships. I mean, when you are the King of Pop's goddaughter, you are bound to be a little screwed up. She was given up for adoption. The parents who cared for her divorced. Her heart has been broken. She has bitter feuds with her best friend. She was told she was too fat; now she has to battle anorexia rumors. She fell in love again, but is now criticized for being the bad girl who stole the good girl's boyfriend. She was arrested for DUI, marijuana and pain killers were also found in her system. Facing possible jail time for her arrest, she has to deal with the latest rumors, that she is pregnant. Nicole will never be left alone.

The question here should really be, "How could you not love Nicole Richie?" She is just like you or someone you know. Actually, most of us have fewer issues and we sit around and sulk and feel sorry for ourselves. What does she do? She laughs and makes us laugh. She lets us know that she is not a role model but wants us to understand that even the people who hide behind the glitz, glam and The Truth about Diamonds are just like us.

So Season 5 of The Simple Life is up and running and it was thought that the show would never make it through the first season. Not only did it survive, but it made it to the box set. With the help of Rockstar boyfriend, Joel Madden, Nicole has currently been working on her album, which is expected to make its debut within the year. Other projects underway include a second book, a jewelry and accessories line, a sunglass line and her very own fragrance. Does she still sound like a spoiled brat to you, or more like a new-millennium entrepreneur?

OK, so our fathers may not be famous and our best friend might not be an "heiress," but that's what intrigues us. We will still read the gossip, watch her shows, purchase her DVDs, read her books and we are anticipating her album. And why shouldn't we? She is just like us. What's not to love?

I found this article written by someone with the pen name: Christina Buzzetta from Underground Online

BREAKING NEWS: NICOLE RICHIE IS PREGNANT.

2007-06-20T09:53:00.000-07:00

I'm interrupting my usual ballerina blogs to bring you this:
I read from a reliable source that Nicole Richie is about 7 weeks pregnant. I would never report rumors on my site so I believe this to be true. From what I learned, the pregnancy was not an accident at all. Joel and Nicole are very happy and in a very serious and committed relationship and decided together to have a baby. They started trying around March / April and were hoping for a pregnancy late into the year. Their doctor had told them it will take about six months on average to conceive. They didn’t expect for it to happen this quickly. However, they are both incredibly excited about this addition to their new family. They are also planning on getting married later this year as soon as Joel is done with his touring obligations. Nicole has already moved into Joel Glendale house. And don’t expect a big wedding ceremony like Nicole was planning with her ex-fiancé; their wedding is going to be small with only close family and friends at Lionel’s Bel-Air estate.

Rumors that Nicole got pregnant to get out of jail or is planning to have an abortion are completely false. I repeat, this is not an accidental pregnancy, it was planned. It came earlier than they expected but they are very happy about it. You can see Nicole recent candids, she looks beautiful, healthy and she is glowing.

Nicole’s rep’s response to the rumors is that “there is nothing to report.” This is because Joel and Nicole will not confirm the pregnancy until Nicole is well into her fourth month. They have been in constant care of a doctor, and Nicole is expected to successfully carry the baby to full term. Bloggers that have been reporting cruel and malicious news in regards to the baby news need to check their lives or get one. Their actions are completely inappropriate.

I believe they found out about the pregnancy while they were in Australia for the AVMAs. Nicole was with Joel through their tour in Japan and some Europe dates. Nicole returned back to California to do promotion for the new season of the Simple Life. And from what I was told, Joel was very distraught because he wanted to be with her everyday through the whole pregnancy. Luckily, his bother Josh was visiting and his other brother Benji were around to lift his spirits.

Now, finally, Good Charlotte fans especially those at gcnaptown that hate to see Joel happy with a woman he loves and threaten to “loose respect” for him if she marries or has a child with Nicole. Well, I suggest you guys start getting all your GC memorabilia together to burn them in anger because Joel and Nicole ARE getting married and expecting a baby in January 2008 by God’s grace. You don’t believe me, check your GC calendar, they have absolutely no obligations after September 2007 until next year after the baby comes.

And I don’t know why people are surprised that Nicole is and could get pregnant. She has said over and over again that she does not have an eating disorder and is perfectly healthy. Well all I can say is that Nicole Owns and the haters should let their imagination begin to run wild so they can make up new malicious rumors to write about. Remember that she absolutely doesn’t care about what people think. And secondly she depends on absolutely NOONE to make her money. What are you going to do; protest until the simple life gets cancelled or no wait petition to the bank and have her trust fund frozen or seized because you are so jealous of her you can’t stand it. I love it. NICOLE OWNS. Accept it. Trust me it will make you feel better.

Ballerina Girl & L-Train: Best Father / Daughter Duo

2007-06-19T11:17:00.000-07:00

As a tribute to Lionel’s 58^th birthday today June 202007, I have an entry of Nicole and her Dad, Lionel.

Nicole Richie is her father’s daughter, the bearer of her famous last name. Nicole nickname for her dad is L-train and he in turn calls her Ballerina Girl with regard to the 1987 song he wrote about her.

Although Lionel has confessed of not being the best father during Nicole younger years, and many have speculated that the feeling of abandonment is the source of a lot of Nicole’s problems with drugs. Nevertheless, it’s a new day and the once estranged duo are back together and closer than ever. Nicole has said she talks to her Lionel everyday about everything. Lionel has been very supportive of her especially during her time in rehab when he checked in along with her and underwent family therapy with her mother and his ex-wife Brenda. He has always been by her side and is a strong supporter of hers regardless of circumstance. Especially during 2006 when she was suffered dramatic weight loss as a result of her emotionally distressing break up of her engagement to then fiancé; Adam Goldstein aka DJ AM.

My favorite quote of Lionel about Nicole is this one from a June 2005 edition of US Weekly.

"When Nicole was a little girl, we couldn't tear her away from her blanket or her Shirley Temple videos. She knew every song. She was just full of ideas and imagination. I remember one time; an album name she wanted me to use was 'Rainbows and Butterflies.' As time went on, when she was about 13 or 14, she became my specialist in 'hip.' Every time Dad thought he knew what he was doing, she'd go 'You're not going to wear that again are you, Dad?' I realized at that point that I was in deep trouble. Some days, I wished she would just leave me alone. But I trust her judgment. She's always been very opinionated. And she has this forthright, quirky sense of humor, but underneath it she's quiet, even fragile. She had some troubles early on, but wow! What a recovery. The best Father's Day gift she ever gave me was the day she came out of rehab. It was like the little blossom opened up. She went in a confused little girl, and came out a full-grown woman. I wouldn't trade being a father. It's one of the greatest things I've done. Above my songs, above everything, the best thing is hearing the word 'dad' coming from down the hall."

People will probably be surprised if I told you that I consider Nicole Richie a very private person. As much as she is in the press, we know very little about her. We only really know what she has revealed about herself. We still don’t know who her biological parents are and NO its NOT Peter Michael Escovedo as every Tom, Dick and Harry reports. She has publically denied those claims. Whenever Nicole talks about her Dad, it’s usually about instances where he is gardening or crying for a ridiculous reason. I think its incredibility sweet. Here is one of my favorite quotes of Nicole about Lionel.

"Last week, I bought my first car - a Mercedes - with my own credit. And my dad showed up. He started crying and taking all these pictures. I was so embarrassed! He said, 'I'm so proud of you.' That made me feel really good."

I found a really beautiful video about Lionel and Nicole. I absolutely agree that they are the cutest father/daughter duo in all the world!.

Ballerina Interviews Part 1: Howard Stern.

2007-06-18T18:58:00.000-07:00

INTERVIEW SUMMARY COURTESY OF MARKSFRIGGIN.COM

Nicole Richie Comes In. 06/23/04. 7:35am
After the break Howard brought in Nicole Richie. He said that she was in Stuff Magazine and she looked really airbrushed to him. When she came in Howard said she looked really good though. He said she was wearing a really cute outfit and that she looks really good on the cover of Stuff. He wondered if it was her real legs in the pictures. She said it appears that they airbrushed her hair to get some black out and possibly her boobs because she's not that big.

Howard moved on and said he heard that Nicole is a really nice person when he's around other TV crew people but Paris Hilton isn't that nice. Nicole said that Paris is just a little shy and may come off as being bitchy. Howard was distracted by the t-shirt Benjy was wearing in the studio. He said that he had a ''Soul Plane'' shirt on and it looked like the same one he's been wearing all week. Benjy said that he has about 7 of them and he's not wearing the same one.

Howard got back to Nicole and said he heard that she said that she anted to have sex with Kobe Bryant but she said that she was just joking around when she said that. She also didn't know that she was being interviewed on live TV at the time. Howard asked Nicole about ''The Simple Life'' and how successful that is. She lucked out when Paris Hilton's sister turned down the chance to do it. Nicole said that she jumped at the chance to do it and it wasn't even like they were getting paid a lot to do it. They did it for fun.

Howard wondered about Nicole and Paris kissing all of these dudes on their show. Nicole said that she just gave the guys pecks on the cheek so it wasn't a big deal. It wasn't like they were making out with them. She refused to say who her boyfriend is now when Howard asked her about that.

Howard asked Nicole about being in rehab for a while. He said she was into drinking and she was addicted to heroin for a while. He figures there was something about her life that was causing her to do that stuff. Nicole was adopted by Lionel Richie when she was 9 years old. She knows who her father and mother are even though there are a few guys who claim that they're her real father. Nicole said that her father worked with Lionel Richie years ago. Her mother raised her until she was about 3 years old. Then she ended up going to Lionel Richie and his wife. She got to live with them while her mother was working. She stayed with Lionel and his wife for years while her mother would come and visit her. She was better off living there so she eventually got adopted by them.

Nicole said that her mother was a young, single mother and it was tough for her to raise her. Howard said that she ''tried out'' the kid for 3 years and then decided she couldn't handle her so she basically gave her away. Howard said that has to bug Nicole a bit. Nicole claims that it was her choice to stay with Lionel and Brenda. She eventually had the alcohol and heroin problem. She said that Lionel and his wife broke up eventually and that kind of caused some problems. She now lives in Brenda's guest house.

Nicole told Howard how she was addicted to cocaine and downers for a while and that led to the heroin use. She said she got to hang out with older kids and they got her the alcohol and stuff. She also talked about how it took her a long time to get boobs and she claims she just got them 8 months ago. She said that she's totally shaved as well. Howard wondered if she does that herself or has her boyfriend do it for her. She said she does it herself.

Howard asked Nicole about losing her virginity. She told him that she was 18 when she finally lost it. She claims that she didn't do oral either. Howard went through that with her for a short time and asked her about her parents some more after that. She says she never acted out by having sex with guys like some kids do.

Howard said he watched the first season of ''The Simple Life'' and got upset with Nicole after seeing her throw the bottle of bleech on the pool table at the bar. She said they made it seem worse than it was with their editing but she wasn't happy about doing it either. Howard wondered how Nicole can deal with Paris and the way she acts on the show. He wondered if the two of them ever read the newspaper. Nicole said she doesn't read it herself. She said she doesn't have any real political views because she can't vote since she's a felon. She went on to tell Howard that she was arrested for possessing heroin and that's a felony. She talked about how great heroin makes you feel but didn't want to glorify it on the air. She said it eventually got pretty bad and she had to make the decision to go into rehab. She got started with the heroin when a friend offered it to her while she was wasted on some pills. Nicole said she was doing it a couple of times a day but she doesn't remember exactly how much it was or when she started buying the stuff herself.

Nicole told Howard about how her father supported her with an allowance. She's making her own money now so she doesn't need that. She told Howard that she and Paris make the same amount of money on ''The Simple Life.''

Howard read that Nicole dated Cher's son Elijah Blue but Nicole said they were just friends. Howard thought she'd gotten into a fight with another woman over him but she said that wasn't true. She got to sleep over at Cher's house and said that she's really cool. She only got to meet her a couple of times though so she didn't know her that well. Howard wanted more information about her dating the guy but she said that it's not her place to talk about the relationship because she's only half of it and she respects the other person's privacy.

Howard asked Nicole about the Stuff Magazine pictures. She said it took her about a day to shoot those pictures. She told Howard that she's been working out lately so that's why she looks the way she does in the pictures. Howard talked to her about that and then about the Paris Hilton sex video. Howard thinks that's what helped make ''The Simple Life'' as popular as it was in the first season. Now they have the second season and it's airing tonight on FOX.

Jeff the Drunk called in and asked Nicole a question but the delay was hit. Nicole talked about how her drug use and stuff like that for a short time after that. Howard took some more phone calls and let some people talk to Nicole. One guy said that Nicole sounds very normal today compared to what she sounds like on ''The Simple Life.'' He also didn't seem to like the way Howard was talking to her about her sex life and stuff like that.

Howard asked Nicole about wearing panties and if she'd ever go days wearing the same pair. She said she'll sometimes not wear them if the outfit she's wearing shows a panty line. Howard asked her if she's ever done a chick. She said that she hasn't but there's still time because she's only 22. Howard told her she should do Paris but she thinks of her as a sister so that won't happen.

Howard talked to her about her male gynecologist and if he kisses her knees when she walks in. She said that it would be weird to have a female gynecologist. Howard went on to ask her if she's ever had a one night stand. She says she hasn't and she's only had sex with like 2 guys.

Nicole talked about her rehab and how it changed her whole life. She went to a place called Sierra Tucson and how great it was. Howard asked her if she ever tried Special K when she was using drugs. She said she had done that and Ecstasy. She's also done acid but that was scary to her. Nicole told Howard that there was a therapist at rehab that liked her too much and seemed to want to keep her there longer than she needed.

Howard had to wrap up with Nicole because she had to get going. Howard gave her a couple of plugs for Stuff Magazine and ''The Simple Life 2: Road Trip'' which airs tonight. He went to commercial break after that.

Nicole Richie Comes In. 02/02/05. 8:40am
Howard had Nicole Richie come in after the Eric the Midget thing. She was looking really hot and has changed her look quite a bit since Howard last saw her. He said that she looks amazing and had to have lost a few pounds. Her hair was shorter and she straightened it. Howard thought she was cute when she was kind of chubby. He said that he sat next to Paris Hilton at a basketball game a couple of months ago and they didn't have anything to say to one another. Nicole said she saw pictures of that but didn't hear the story from Paris.

Howard heard that Paris and Nicole weren't getting along lately but Nicole said she's still friends with Paris. She said that Paris is like her sister and she still likes her. Howard was telling Nicole how he likes her chest even though it's pretty small. Nicole likes it that way because she like that she doesn't have to wear a bra if she doesn't want to. Howard had her spin around for him so he could check out her body. He wanted to see her abs but she said they're kind of soft. She asked to see his abs and she thought he looked pretty hot when he showed her. There was actually a line there and she thinks he's got a pretty good body. Howard said that he hasn't eaten anything in about a week, that's why he looks good.

Nicole is 23 years old so Howard told her that he does chicks that age. Nicole said that she'd do Howard if he was single. She wondered how long Howard lasts in bed normally. Howard said he's got a weird thing because sometimes he can last a long time but others he finishes quickly. He said that he'd make sure he took care of himself a couple of times before he did her. Nicole asked Howard if chicks hear that he's quick but then he lasts a long time with them, if they'd be offended. Nicole said she might be offended because she'd think that she wasn't that hot. Nicole said she wasn't kidding about doing Howard. He thought she was just saying that because she was on the show. Howard said that by the third time he does her, she'd be impressed with how long he'd last. He said they could then lay in bed together and make fun of Paris. Howard told Nicole that Paris is really good at oral in the home video of her that's out. Nicole said she thinks that she'd be pretty good as well.

Howard told Nicole that she's got to move into the next phase of her career. She has to start doing stuff like Lindsay Lohan does. Nicole said that she doesn't have time to do stuff while she's shooting ''The Simple Life'' though. Nicole is working on some music stuff and she claims that she can sing pretty well. Howard wondered if she could sing some Cream songs. Nicole didn't join in though. She said that she can play piano, violin and cello. Howard thought that playing the cello shows that she's really smart. He quickly changed subjects and said that he'd love to tickle her. Nicole said that she hates being tickled because it's not a fun laughter.

Howard said that Nicole's boyfriend, Adam Goldstein, was there so he spent a few minutes talking about him. The guy is a DJ who does private parties and stuff. Nicole said that she doesn't get to see him perform much but when she's seen him, it really turns her on. She thinks that he has a lot of talent to be able to do that stuff the way he does. Howard asked Nicole to go over and play some piano for them. They only had a keyboard in the studio and she didn't want to do it. Howard just wanted to see that she can actually play. Howard had Nicole go over to their scale and found out that she weighs 97 pounds. She had no idea that she was on a hidden scale. Artie said she was only the second person to be fooled by that. Anna Nicole was the other person. Nicole said that she weighed a lot when she started the first ''Simple Life'' because she'd just gotten out of rehab. She gained quite a bit when she was in there. Now she's drug free and has lost that weight.

Nicole sat down at the keyboard and played some classical stuff that didn't sound so good because it wasn't on a real piano. She played some more contemporary stuff and she was able to play. She had a few ''Oops'' moments but she was pretty good. Howard had the guys bring in her boyfriend after that. Nicole didn't want him to come in though. Artie said he heard this guy one time in Vegas and he was actually very good. Gary came in and said that the guy didn't want to come in unless it was okay with Nicole. Nicole really didn't want him to come in because they don't like to talk about each other on the air. Howard figured she just wanted the spotlight and that's why she didn't want him to come in. Gary said that's kind of the way it came across when he asked Adam to come in.

Howard gave Nicole a plug for her show ''The Simple Life: Interns'' and took some phone calls after that. A caller asked Nicole what she thinks is a good size for a guy. Nicole said that length doesn't matter as long as it's not ''thin.'' The guy also wondered about the length of time he lasts. She said it should be more than 5 minutes. Howard asked her if she likes a guy to wear a condom. She said that's really important. The delay was hit a couple of times during that discussion. Another caller asked her if she likes sex in the dirty place. All we heard were more delay button hits. She said she doesn't like it at one point. Howard took a few more phone calls and some guys were telling her that she's hotter than Paris. Nicole thanked them and said that she and Paris look so different that she doesn't mind if people tell her how good she looks. Howard said he'd rather bang Nicole himself because he doesn't think that Paris would have anything to say. One phone caller said that maybe Nicole would play keyboards better if she was topless. That wasn't happening though. One phone caller asked Howard if he could kiss Nicole's ass any more. He had nothing bad to say about her at all. Howard said she was a good interview and she was answering all of his questions.

Howard asked Nicole if she would sing some Karaoke for them. Howard asked her what her favorite song is. She said that she likes Cream's ''White Room'' and that's just what they wanted to hear. Nicole said that she loves doing Howard's show and she came back to New York to do his show and The View. Nicole said that Star is a friend of her family. Howard played their audio clip of Star walking down the aisle at her wedding. It was just ''Here comes the Bride'' and a huge, stomping Godzilla-sounding monster walking down the aisle. Howard went on to ask Nicole about who else she's friends with. She said that she knows people like Lindsay Lohan and Lenny Kravitz. She said that Lenny kind of scares her because he hangs out with her father and she doesn't want her father dating women her age. Howard took a couple more calls including a guy who played clips of Artie and created a conversation with Howard and the real Artie. That guy eventually got on the line and asked Howard if he'd gotten the Treo 650 yet. Howard said he's working on it but he hasn't gotten it yet. Nicole has one and said that it's pretty cool. Howard said he's going crazy not having it. The caller complained about the Blue Tooth feature because other people can see your phone when that's on. Nicole also complained about the keyboard not having a cover and how you can call people accidentally because of that.

Howard was checking out Nicole's chest and said he likes that she's flat chested. He said he really wants to see her naked and said that they should hook up. Howard asked Nicole if she gets free stuff now that she's a star. She said she does get some cool stuff but hasn't gotten anything all that great lately. She talked about some gift baskets that she gets when she goes to some events. She doesn't always get everything that's in the basket though because you have to mail in forms. Howard said he's had the same problem. He's not going to mail in any forms to get gifts or anything like that. Nicole said she made a great deal for her third season of ''The Simple Life.'' She's not sure what Paris makes but she has a feeling that they make the same amount. Nicole wouldn't say how much she makes per episode but Howard tried to figure it out anyway. He wrapped up the interview a short time later.

Ballerina Bad Ass: Nobody is Perfect.

2007-06-15T16:00:00.001-07:00

When talking about Hollywood bad girls, three names come into mind; Paris Hilton, Britney Spears and Lindsey Lohan. In many articles and television news snippets I have watched, people hardly ever mention Nicole Richie.

The Results	10	10	10	5

The fact is that, Nicole is only bad by association. She is not out partying every other night and is not flashing her private parts for the camera. The Media and people in general recognize Nicole problems with the law as more of an emotional one unlike those of her peers which can be a result of fame and having too much too soon.

I consider a Nicole Richie, a rebel, an individual, different, a standout; but definitely not one of the Hollywood bad girls.

Nicole has talked about her past issues extensively, in her best selling semi autobiographical book “Truth About Diamonds” and in numerous interviews.

Nicole started using smoking marijuana when she was thirteen and coping with her parents Lionel and Brenda very public divorce. A year later her drug of choice was cocaine. By the time she was 21, she was addicted to heroine. (She was introduced to this very dangerous drug by a boyfriend, who she talks about in her book. It’s not hard to figure out who exactly that is. He is famous enough.) She finally checked into rehab at 22 to combat all her drug issues. Since then, she has tried to take control of her life and her health.

I feel the reason that the media is always reporting on Nicole Richie’s body changes and speculating on very aspect of her life is because, nobody can deny that; whether it’s her heritage, her background, her upbringing or her current relationships, Nicole is just so fascinating as a person. Everyone is interested, myself included.

The problem however is that some people are resentful of themselves and jealous for caring so much about Nicole, so even as they obsess about her everyday life. They manufacture words or hate at the same time to offset their curiosity.

Just a word of advice to these people, it’s not cool to hate someone that you do not know personally and that has done absolutely nothing to you, especially celebrities just because they have a privileged upbringing. Enough already; your hateful words just really make you look lame.

Nicole is due in court for a DUI hearing next week; I hope and pray that whatever the outcome, she doesn’t have to go to jail. I believe that sobriety is a life long struggle and she fell off the wagon unfortunately. I hope that the Judge is understanding and doesn’t decide to make an example of her or give in to public outcry and opinion in regards to her punishment.

Right now, there are rumors that Nicole got pregnant to avoid jail time!!!! How preposterous is that. Nicole will NEVER do such a tacky thing. She is not pregnant. Although I do not know her personally, I am pretty sure she is not. She is getting healthy and gaining a little weight. I have no clue where all the pregnancy rumors came from.

And finally as people continue to criticize her for not dispelling the rumors, the thing is there is always an outrageous rumor about Nicole and I’m sure she is sick of it too. If her rep denies it, it will only spew more rumors about something else. And besides, can the girl get a little privacy? Like she would announce such a personal thing to the tabloids or during an interview.

In conclusion, Nicole has a lot of loyal fans that will continue to support her no matter what the future hold. This is because we all see the amazing potential in Nicole Richie to be something extraordinary. She has a lot of role models like Drew Barrymore and my personal favorite Angelina Jolie, who have tumultuous youths but finally found themselves and grew out to exceptional members of society. Nicole is still a work in process, but i'm confident the result will be worth the wait.

Good luck Nicole. I will be praying for you.

Ballerina Role Model: She's Inspirational

2007-05-23T14:14:00.000-07:00

A lot of people like to point at Nicole Richie when referring to bad role models in today’s society. I disagree completely. Nicole Richie is a great role model. Her imperfections are what makes girls and guys alike from all over the world relate to her. She is one of the most interesting celebrities out there, everyone is drawn to her for some reason. It was that spark in her that got her noticed by Lionel and Brenda who adopted her when she was three years old. It is the same sparks that causes the world’s tabloids and even the so called credible media to constantly need pictures and constantly speculate in stories about her personal life. She has gone through a lot in her life and she is still beautifully standing.

I will quote a November 2005 New York Times article written during ‘The Truth about Diamonds’ book signing tour stop in New York by :

She has been sober for several years, she said, but tabloids are now wondering if Ms. Richie is grappling with another issue: an eating disorder. Absolutely not, she said. "I have a very strong group of people around me, and if I had problem, that many wouldn't be quiet about it," she said. "We would take care of it."

As Carolyn Lluberes, an assistant at Wilhelmina Models, left the Virgin store, she called Ms. Richie a survivor. "She sends the message that, 'Yes, I've fallen, but I can get up with dignity,' " she said. Staring at a Polaroid of herself and the first-time author, Ms. Lluberes grew misty. "I never get star-struck," she said, "but to see her is really inspiring."

I don't need or want role models that perpetuate perfection because nobody is perfect. And in the end, that attitude translates as condescension. I like Nicole because she doesn't try to act like she is perfect nor is she condescendingly to people who are struggling with life. She is just herself and tries her best which I think is the most important thing and the best message to send forth.

Ballerina Slippers

2007-05-22T15:02:00.000-07:00

I am not a fan of tattoos especially on women, but there are a couple of girls that pull it off nicely. One is Angelina Jolie, the other one of course is Nicole Richie.

Nicole Richie currently has 10 tattoos, maybe 11: a rosary around her ankle, a tiara on her hip, a cross on her lower back, ballet slippers on her abdomen, the word "virgin" on one wrist, a shooting star on her other wrist, two angel wings on her shoulder blades and "Richie" on the back of her neck.

Nicole was spotted leaving a tattoo parlor in January of 2007. So far I don’t know if she got a tattoo or not. She hasn’t talked about it publicly. We will just have to wait and see I guess.

My favorite has to be the wings on her shoulder blades. She is really an Angel!
I love that all Nicole tattoos are well thought out, meaning full and nicely placed on her body.

The first one she ever got was the ballerina slippers when she was 15. As a tribute to her Dad for writing her the song “Ballerina Girl” How cute is that.

Enjoy this video i found on you tube: Nicole Richie is Ballerina Girl...absolutely beautiful

Ballerina Obsession Part 1: Green with Envy

2007-05-21T15:01:00.000-07:00

Why is everyone obsessed with Nicole Richie?

It’s not all love mind you, for some reason I do not understand myself, there seem to be a lot of hate obsession directed at Nicole. I. personally do not like all celebrities. The ones I do not care for, I am completely indifferent to any news of information regarding the celebrity. I definitely do not go out of my way to make snarky comments about them.

Nicole Richie on the other hand is not so lucky. She had a lot of loyal fans like myself but there are bunch of people out there who obsessively hate Nicole. They cannot just ignore her. They go to her fan sites and blog threads to spill their hate. What is up with that?

Jealousy is a disease….Get Cured!!!

When we first started to fall in love with Nicole around 2003/2004, she was just out of rehab, had a positive outlook on life but especially she was very friendly with her fans and the Media. Then she lost a little weight and the media for whatever reason turned against her and started to speculate about her life. With her losing some weight and ending her engagement with DJ A.M, it was obvious that Nicole was going through a pretty rough patch.

Today for instance, the 21^st of May 2007, there has been A LOT of negative stories about Nicole on the Internet and in tabloid magazines. Nicole, who is currently on tour with her boyfriend, lead singer of the band Good Charlotte, has been keeping a really low profile. I like that, I think she needed to get out of Los Angeles for a while.

There have not been any candid paparazzi photos of Nicole for approximately 17 days, so the media has gone bonkers. They have reduced themselves to spreading rumors about Nicole. She’s been dumped, she was spotted at a Los Angeles Night Club with a bag full of cocaine, she was thrown out of a sushi restaurant for talking too loud on her phone. All false being that Nicole is out of the country. But today’s press doesn’t even bother to verify information. They rush to print and feel its okay to slander any individual like that.

These are my picks for the Best Blogs :
They seem to check their facts and their goal is not to make fun of celebrities. The also do a good job covering Nicole Richie.

Read Article with Larger Pic:

And as for the Haters who own blogs and their enablers, this one is for you:

Haters!
Traitors to the human race
Haters!
What a drag What a waste
I'd like to see them disappear
They don’t belong anywhere
Haters!

Spinning a web that’s hard to see of envy, greed and jealousy
Feeling angry but you don't know why
Why don’t you look me in the eye?
You want my friends you want my clothes
you’re one of those HATERS!!!

P.S. Get a Life!!!

Ballerina Books: The Truth about Diamonds

2007-05-14T14:31:00.000-07:00

Nicole’s first book is called The Truth about Diamonds. It’s a must read in my personal opinion for any Nicole Richie fan that wants to get to know more about her life. I think I have read the book at least 4 times.

What I like about the book is that, being a semi autobiography of her life. She separates the now new and improved Nicole from the old Nicole that was out of control by calling her Chloe. Nicole played Chloe’s best friend instead. But the best part is that in the end Nicole saved herself (Chloe) from continuing down the self-destructive path.

You can pickup a copy of the book from any of the following retailers:

Barnes and Noble – Where it got 4.5 out of 5 stars

Harper Collins – Where you can also listen to an audio expert by Nicole !

Amazon – Where it got 3.5 out of 5 stars.

****Spoiler Alert*****

I want to talk about some parts of the book that I loved and that really affected me. Nicole said the book is part fiction part truth. Some parts are very sad, I was fearful and hoping it was one of the fictional parts. But I really have no idea.

1. I loved that she dedicated the book to her younger siblings: Miles and Sofia

2. I was really sad when that horrible ex of hers slapped her and she fell on the street outside an LA night club.

3. I cried when her biological mother forgot her in a restaurant after the ban's group dinner when she was just 2 years old and ran off to hook up with some guy.

4.I loved how her adopted mother, Peggy took care of her that night and then convinced her adopted father that they should adopt her.

5. I love the way she described the moment the three of them; father, mother, and daughter became a family. She ended the sentence with “I call it love” it was beautiful made me cry.

6. I was really sad during her parents divorce when her adopted father left Chloe and Peggy to start another family. It was a really sad time. Chloe started spending a lot of time with Simone who taught her about drugs and parting, while Peggy was so destruct about her failed marriage, she didn’t leave her bedroom for a month.

7. I loved how her parents came together again when she was in rehab during family therapy and talked things through. They forgave each other…it was beautiful. :)

8. I really really loved when she was in rehab and was hoping her ex Joey (who she was still in love with) was the one there to see her but instead it was D.J. Ray!!!! She was so surprised, he was so sweet and she started to fall in love with him one the sport. It was so cute and beautiful. She got back a little of her innocence and they fell in love the old fashioned way. He was her prince :) I just love D.J Ray!!!

9. I really hate Joey because he was a heroin addict. He started dating Chloe and got her hooked on heroine too.

10. I hate when her biological father showed up all of a sudden after she became famous. It traumatized her, since he had never contacted her before!

11. I love that Nicole was always there for Chloe and eventually saved her.

************End Spoilers****************

The names of all the characters where changed. It’s not that hard to figure out who is who. I was going to, (especially because of Joey) but since Nicole didn’t reveal names I will respect her privacy and not decode the characters.

Nicole has a new book coming out called “Nicole Richie Style”

I’m really looking forward to this book in particular because I adore Nicole’s style. It is supposed to be released later this year and I will write more about it when there is more information.
