Nicole Richie is getting ready to have another baby, according to tabloid reports.

The former Simple Life star – who welcomed daughter Harlow Winter – her first child with beau Joel Madden – in January this year – “is taking vitamins, eating healthy and designing trendy maternity wear in preparation for her second pregnancy,” Star magazine reports.

A source tells the publication, “Nicole simply told Joel that she wants another baby – right away.

“He was a little overwhelmed at first, but now he’s with her 100 percent. They’re both thrilled about adding to their family.

“They went through a rough patch, but now things are amazing between them.

“Nicole knows it’s because they’re both so happy with Harlow, and she truly believes another baby will double their commitment.”

Socialite NICOLE RICHIE has denied a report she plans to marry her boyfriend JOEL MADDEN this summer (08), insisting the rocker hasn’t even proposed.
Richie and Madden, who have baby daughter Harlow Winter Kate together, were said to be sending out invites for their impending nuptials as early as next week (begs07Apr08).
But a spokesperson for The Simple Life star says, “They are not even engaged.”

Nicole Richie was released from jail Thursday after serving 82 minutes of a four-day sentence for driving under the influence of drugs.The reality show star, who checked into a women’s jail at 3:15 p.m., was released at 4:37 p.m. “based on her sentence and federal guidelines,” Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Deputy Maribel Rizo said without elaborating.

Under a federal court mandate to manage jail overcrowding, arrestees sentenced to 30 days or less for a nonviolent offense are usually released within 12 hours, the sheriff’s department said in a statement.

Under the guidelines, Richie was “treated in the same manner as other inmates with a similar sentence,” the statement said.

Richie, 25, was originally sentenced to 96 hours in jail, but that was reduced to 90 hours because of time served when she was arrested.

Richie arrived at jail with her attorney Shawn Chapman Holley and her boyfriend, Good Charlotte singer Joel Madden. Her time at the Century Regional Detention Facility was spent getting booked, including taking a mugshot and submitting her fingerprints, Holley said.

She didn’t reach her jail cell.

“She was really treated like any other inmate,” Holley said. “I think every inmate in her position, with that type of charge, would have been treated as she was.”

Former Simple Life star and soon-to-be prison inmate Nicole Richie has blamed her previous drug addiction on boredom.

The 26-year-old developed a dependency on the class A drug heroin early in her wild-partying socialite career and believes it was the pressure of her new-found fame which pushed her towards a full-blown addiction.

“I got so much, so fast that nothing really excited me anymore. I kind of took matters into my own hands and was creating drama in a very dangerous way,” she said.
“I think I was just bored and I had seen everything — especially when you’re young, you just want more.”

But the daughter of 80s pop balladeer Lionel Richie now insists she has put those days of non-stop partying and regular drug-taking behind her, which is especially lucky now she is four months pregnant with Good Charlotte singer Joel Madden’s child.

WE know the Hollywood party girls have shared dancefloors and rehab facilities — but now Nicole Richie is set to take their parallel lives a step further.
She has told authorities that she wants to serve her four-day sentence for Driving Under the Influence in the same prison as on-off pal Paris Hilton.
Paris spent her recent 23-day prison stretch at the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, California.

A spokesman for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said, “Nicole’s attorney contacted us and indicated she wants to do her time there.”
However, which jail Nicole, who is four months pregnant with boyfriend Joel Madden’s child, will actually go to is still undecided. The spokesman added, “That’s all determined by our medical staff upon her arrival.”

If she doesn’t get medical facility placement, there’s a good chance that Nicole will be housed in a segregated unit, much the same as friend Paris was.

Joel Madden was spotted trying to satisfy his pregnant girlfriend Nicole Richie’s pregnancy cravings, picking up a pizza pie in Los Angeles on Monday.

Nicole has not confirmed her pregnancy, but her dad, Lionel Richie, recently told People, “Grandpa, man, that’s wild. I don’t know if I’m ready to be called grandpa.”
Nicole is due in court today to answer a charge of drunken driving.

Nicole Richie has ignited reports she is to wed boyfriend Joel Madden after she was spotted at a Hollywood party wearing a large diamond sparkler on her ring finger.

The Simple Life star has so far refused to confirm or deny recent US reports of a rumoured pregnancy, prompted by pictures of the skinny star with a bloated belly.

Now the Good Charlotte rocker, who accompanied Richie to the YSL Pool Party at the Beverly Hills Hotel on Thursday night appears to have proposed to his lover.

An eyewitness told the New York Post’s gossip column Page Six, “It was one big rock surrounded by more diamonds.
“(Madden was) overly attentive to her, keeping his arm around her all night and repeatedly asked her if she was OK.”
