Nicole Richie Throws Baby Shower
6:10 Monday, November 19, 2007

Nicole Richie got into the spirit of motherhood with a swish baby shower in L.A. Around 90 people attended the secret party at the plush Beverly Hills Hotel, where Richie was joined by mother Brenda, sister Sophia, Joel Madden and a host of celebrity friends, including Paris Hilton, Nicky Hilton, The Hills star Lauren Conrad and DJ Samantha Ronson.
Instead of receiving gifts they have asked friends who attended their Wizard Of Oz themed bash to donate baby accessories to their charity. A charity the pair set up for mothers in need, called the Richie Madden Children's Foundation. A source said: "Nicole and Joel has asked friends to give cribs, strollers and stuffed animals to their foundation."
Paris Hilton was overheard in the hotel lobby giving her blessings to Nicole, saying "I am so happy for her, it's really great. I can't wait for them". The Hills star Lauren Conrad was also complimentary towards the expecting couple, adding "I am so pleased for them both. They are such a nice couple." Richie, Madden and her family were the last to leave the party, when it came to a close at 4.30.
Good for Nicole and her Douche for starting a foundation for the needy.
It comes just in time to help the pregnant wives of the Hollywood Writers on strike.
