Looks like Nicole Richie had to be convinced to marry husband and father of her kids, Joel Madden!

In an interview, musician Joel Madden recently revealed that wife Nicole Richie was not too keen on marriage or Joel stepping the relationship up a notch. He says,  “my wife is pretty good at rejecting me…people don’t know this. But I asked her to marry me 10 times before she actually said yes — I was asking every other Tuesday.”

Tough! Joel finally got her  because he wanted the two of them to be married for their children, and for the future of their family.  And I guess his persistence paid off:  the couple have been happily married with two children, Harlow and Sparrow, since 2010.

Nicole Richie and Elle Macpherson headed over to Macy’s last night to premiere their new reality series ‘Fashion Star‘.  Nicole has always been glam, but she seems to be stepping it up even more than usual these last few weeks as she promotes her show.  She looks incredible in this yellow dress!

Did you watch the show last night?!  I did and I loved it!  The pacing was great – I get so bored when shows drag on and on with details that nobody cares about.  ‘Fashion Star‘ was fast and energetic with small little bits of drama, but nothing crazy-over-the-top.  And I LOVED that you could buy the pieces online right after the show!  That blue dress was one of my favorites and it sold out in MINUTES!  I hope the ratings were good because I want to keep watching this one!

Nicole Richie is in NYC right now promoting her new show, ‘Fashion Star’ which premieres tonight on NBC. She stepped out yesterday morning in a casual sweater and black pants. Later last night, she was spotted out with a black skirt and white top. Which is the better look?

Nicole Richie opens up about her children (daughter Harlow, 4 and son Sparrow, 2) and her husband, Good Charlotte front man Joel Madden:

“Joel and I are complete polar opposites,” she says. “He’s from southern Maryland. He’s very family-oriented. He grew up with four brothers and sisters. When we met, I was definitely going through a difficult time with my family, and having him have such a strong foundation really opened the doors and brought both of our families together.”

Richie describes her children’s personalities: “My daughter looks exactly like me, and she has Joel’s personality. She’s very careful. She doesn’t make a move without fully thinking about what the consequences would be and what that means. Sparrow looks exactly like Joel and has my personality. He’s just wild. I’m in for the ride. He’s two, and we’ve had broken fingers, we’ve been to the hospital. You cannot take your eye off of him for a second. He is just a full, free spirit.”

Richie reflects on her roller coaster past and how she looks at it now:   “You have to remember that I was 20 years old,” she says of her earlier wilder days. “I don’t know anybody who can look back at who they were at 20 and say, ‘I’m the exact same person.’ It’s all about evolving and growing. Who we are in our 30s is obviously very different than who we are in our 20s…Also, keep in mind that my life didn’t start in shooting The Simple Life. For the public, obviously, that was the first time they saw me, but this,” she says, “has been a dream of mine since I was a little girl.” She goes on to say how she looks back on that particular time in her life: “I have fond memories of that time. I was 20, 21 years old and I was doing a show with my best friend and we didn’t really have to do much. We were just being ourselves—and playing it up for the cameras, obviously—but the show was very safe for me to do, in the sense that cameras were never in my home. They were never shooting my family. It was more about stepping into other people’s realities, as opposed to the cameras coming into our realities”.
Richie discusses how her fashion aspirations started long ago and what her collections mean:

“I’ve been getting ready for this since I was 16 years old,” Richie says. “When I actually met with partners, (clothing manufacturers) Rick and Brian Cytrynbaum, and they asked for ideas, I said, ‘I have plenty!’ I had two huge folders of inspirations tears to show where I saw the line going, what I wanted to start with first, and where I wanted to take it eventually. This has been in my head for a very long time.” Her fashion lines is aimed at multitasking women who aren’t afraid to take fashion risks, but she insists, it will grow only at the pace she sets. “With Winter Kate, we started out so small,” she says. “It’s taken me four seasons even to expand into doing leathers, laser cuts, furs. I have goals for House of Harlow and for Winter Kate: Ultimately, this will be a lifestyle brand. I’m going to do home furnishings and flatware, everything. (But) right now my focus is my family, and everything comes second to that.”

Nicole Richie and Kim Kardashian stepped out last night for the QVC Red Carpet Style pre-Oscar event.

I think Nicole knocked it out of the park with the dress, the shoes, the clutch, the very understated makeup.  Kim on the other hand….  not loving what she wore – at all!  The makeup is too much, the dress isn’t flattering, the earrings are too JLo-ish.  Her clutch is cute, I’ll give her that much. I think Kim looks her best when she goes “softer” with her hair and makeup.
