Nicole Richie threw a lavish birthday party last night for boyfriend Joel Madden on the terrace of the Sunset Tower hotel.

The reality star and jewelry designer left baby Harlow at home for the boisterous affair celebrating the rocker’s 30th birthday. More than 35 friends packed the tented terrace, which was closed off for the evening. The terrace—which has a stunning view of the Los Angeles lights—was presided over by discreet yet formidable security.

“There was a lot of laughing and even some speeches,” one nearby diner noted of the party. “Nicole and Joel were nestled in the center of the big group and they looked as happy as they could be to be celebrating with their friends. They were beaming in the soft terrace lighting.”

While the likes of Sharon Stone and Drew Barrymore dined separately inside the restaurant, the rocker-bash carried on enthusiastically outside.

The dinner was three courses and “there was a lot of prime-looking steak” delivered to the table. The highlight of the evening was a rousing rendition of “Happy Birthday” accompanied by a massive birthday cake. “It was so big that I am surprised that thing didn’t set off the fire alarms,” our diner noted.

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden are expecting again!

The couple — already parents to one-year-old daughter Harlow — announced that Richie is pregnant again on Madden’s Good Charlotte blog, Saturday night.

“What’s better than winning an Oscar?” Madden wrote. “I am so happy to tell everyone that Harlow is going to be a big sister!”

He added: “God has truly blessed my family. Hope you’re all feeling as good as I am right now.”

Richie, 27, and Madden, 29, have been honing their parental instincts since last December — a month before Harlow was born — when they launched the Richie-Madden Foundation, a charity that supports families and children in need.

Nicole Richie is addicted to sending sexy text messages. The star – who has a 10-month-old daughter Harlow with partner Joel Madden – can’t resist telling Joel all her steamy bedroom fantasies when they are apart.

Nicole’s former bodyguard said: “She is a pistol who says exactly what is on her mind. When she is not with Joel, she is constantly sending sexy text messages, telling him what she is wearing and what she wants to do with him when she gets home.”

Nicole also has another vice – splashing out on expensive clothes and shoes.

Another former bodyguard revealed: “She doesn’t like to wear anything twice, so she figures she needs to stock up. She can easily blow 1,000 a week on shoes – she loves Louboutins, which can go for over 1,000. And spending 1,000 on three pairs of jeans in a week is no biggie for Nicole.”
