Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie have had a horrible time lately.  Both have suffered a terrible loss when their mutual friend, Casey Johnson passed away.

Apparently, though the two ex-BFF’s are helping each other get through this tough time.  In a recent interview, Paris stated that seeing Nicole after such a long time has made this difficult time better.

“On such a sad day it brought a smile to my face to at least have one dear friend back in my life. With my traveling, I haven’t seen Nicole in a long time, and she’s been so busy with having her two babies,” says Paris.

A source that was close to Johnson said that having Paris and Nicole together again would have made her happy.  “Casey would be happy to know that even in this tragedy; she brought these friends back together.  Like any best friends, people can get in an argument. But at the end of the day, they love each other, and that’s what matters most.”

Stay strong Paris and Nicole.

Nicole Richie is sporting a darker do and she looks great!

Nicole arrived at the launch of the House of Harlow 1960 Holiday Collection at Bloomingdale’s in Costa Mesa, California, on Saturday, December 12.

Nicole Tweeted on that day:

“On my way to Bloomingdales @ South Coast Plaza. So excited to meet all of you!! Bring your cameras!! 12-2pm.”

“Whew! That was fun. Thanks to everyone who came out today in this terrible weather to hang out with me! I wouldn’t have.”

“OH! & P.S. I went brunette. I feel smarter already”

Umm, okay Nicole.  But like we said, you look great!  We love the brown hair on you!

Tell us what you think…blonde or brunette?

Nicole Richie has been released from the hospital and is back home with her family.

As we previously reported, Nicole was hospitalized for pneumonia.
 
Boyfriend Joel Madden wrote on his website for his band, Good Charlotte.

“So I stepped off the plane after a month out of the country, and basically went straight to the hospital for the week. But don’t worry all is well and we are home with no problems. I was supposed to go into the studio a finish the last few vocals for the record, but that had to wait. Family first.”

Joel and Nicole have been together since 2006 and have 2 children together.

Nicole Richie was hospitalized today for pneumonia at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles after complaining of feeling badly for days, but the good is- she is “doing well,” her rep said.

Nicole was Twittering on Sunday:

 ”ok cold, it’s been 6 days. Let’s part ways graciously & keep it moving.”

Last week, bogus reports were floating around that Nicole was suffering from the swine flu; however it didn’t take long for her rep to shoot that down.

Get well soon Nicole!

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden welcome their second child, a bouncing baby boy!

“In the middle of night, the very early hours of September 9, 2009, Sparrow James Midnight Madden was born to Nicole Richie and Joel Madden,” Nicole wrote on her website today. “He weighs 7lbs 14oz. Nicole, Joel, Harlow [their 19-month-old daughter] and Sparrow are all doing well. Thank you for all of your good wishes.”

As we previously reported, Joel announced, on his band’s website, that he and Nicole, were expecting again. “What’s better than winning an Oscar?” he wrote. “I am so happy to tell everyone that Harlow is going to be a big sister!”

And today, at approximately 11:35 am PST, Joel took to Twitter to write:

“Geuss who’s back…..http://bit.ly/TwxOO Oh i’m sorry we were only having a little baby boy.”

And again at 1:30 pm PST:

Nicole and Joel have been together since 2006, but have no immediate plans to wed.

Congratulations to Joel, Nicole, Harlow, and extended family from us here at Celebug!

Zac Efron just released a video on FunnyorDie.com.  It is funny, crazy, ans wacky.

Appearances in the video include, Vanessa Hudgens, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden, Carmen Electra, Lance Bass, Brody Jenner, Jessica Stroup, Brittany Snow and Queen Latifah are among the stars who join Efron in the video. “A lot of people did it because they want to hang out with Zac,” 17 Again producer Adam Shankmen, who co-directed the clip, states. “It is the craziest group of people.”

In the video, a lot of things are going on, Efron’s “Uncle Hank” (Tom Lennon) tells him he “smells like waffles,” Bass proudly shares that he has been able to “not Google himself” for over a week, and Madden starts talking marriage with Richie.

Even though Efron was the star, he didn’t act like a big shot, says Shankman. “Zac was blown away that we could put it together and he was really, deeply grateful. If you want to know what kind of people Zac and Vanessa are … I turned around and Vanessa was taking out the garbage and Zac was doing the dishes. They have no entitlement issues, it’s all for one and one for all. Nothing is taken for granted.” 

Shankman  says, “The media forces us to take our lives so serious but we know we’re not curing cancer so we might as well make people laugh, we’re entertainers,” he explains. “It’s cool because everyone knows we’re not getting paid, so there are no egos.”

Nicole Richie and partner Joel Madden announced that baby number two is on the way!

Joel posted an entry entitled, “Better than winning an OSCAR!”, on the official Good Charlotte blog. 

It said: “What’s better than winning an Oscar? I am so happy to tell everyone that Harlow is going to be a big sister! God has truly blessed my family. Hope your all feeling as good as i am right now………”

Congrats to the happy couple!

Well it might be finally coming out…why would Paris Hilton be dating Benji Madden? So he could help her try and actually sell a cd this time? And here everyone thought it was because she wanted to really get under her former BFF Nicole Richie’s skin.

Benji has already recorded a song about Paris, and now the Good Charlotte guitarist is helping her with her own music.

Hilton, 27, told E! News that she and Madden, 29, are hard at work on the theme song to her upcoming MTV reality show My New BFF.

“Benji and I have been working hard on it,” she said. “He’s helping me write the lyrics for the song and then I’ll sing it, too.” 

Paris also plans to start working on the follow-up to her 2006 debut CD Paris. “I’ll have another album come out, for sure,” she told E! News. “I just don’t know when yet. I only have the summer off, then I’ll be taping another season of BFF. But an album is something I’ll do.”
