Nicole Richie is so desperate for her child to follow in the musical footsteps of her father Lionel Richie and her rocker boyfriend Joel Madden, she has been playing music to her bulging belly.

The 26-year-old Simple Life star and the Good Charlotte frontman have been preparing for the baby’s arrival by regularly playing a variety of albums on their home stereo. Madden, 28, says, “We play a lot of music around the house. Old stuff, new stuff, classic stuff, movie soundtracks. “We’re excited, happy and spending a lot of time at home. Just normal, couple-expecting-a-baby stuff.”

Their child is due early 2008.
