Nicole Richie and Joel Madden are reportedly engaged to be married.

'The Simple Life' star and the Good Charlotte frontman almost tied the knot
in Las Vegas' on February 17, but decided to get Nicole's adoptive dad
Lionel Richie's blessing first.

A source told National Enquirer magazine: "They picked out matching silver
and diamond rings at a jewellery boutique in Caesar's Palace and then headed
to the Little White Wedding Chapel where the hovered outside for ages.

"But Nicole wanted her dad's blessing so they went straight to see him when
they got back to Los Angeles."

Joel was reportedly terrified about asking Lionel for his blessing.

The source added: "Joel was nervous but he was greeted with open arms and a
big hug from Lionel, who thanked him for everything he has done for Nicole."

The couple are now planning to marry in front of their close family and
friends at Mexico's Las Ventanas resort in Cabo San Lucas.

The source revealed: "It would be a small ceremony with under 100 people."

Who cares? They’re both unbelievably ugly!

Damn, they sure move fast don’t they? I give the marriage 2 1/2 months

He’ll be burying her soon enough.

I give it 6 months.

Didn’t they just get together? That was fast, I’m sure it will be over soon if they do get married.

I didn’t know Joel’s that stupid .. but who cares ..

Her father thanked him for everything that Joel did for Nicole? What the fuck has he done for her?He needs to make the bitch eat. Im sick of them both. I give it two weeks!!

I think they’ll split before getting married.  Probably just using this as a way to keep their names in the press.

hahaha this is the funniest thing i’ve heard today!Thats what happens when your on some sort of drug & love everyone around you!!! I give it…3 months!

he knows she will die soon so he is going to marry her and hope for a huuuuge inheritance howard k stern style. Losers

Poor Hilary Duff. I feel so bad for her. This joel went from being “in love” with her then right away jumping in nicoles arms? What an ass. Not to mention that he has a thing for girls who are sticks.

Ugly to the 3rd power. Why do these chicks insist on dressing like 80’s rock stars?

I hate that cow print scarf around her head.

I’m so tired of the whole celebrity world now a days especially when coming to these young slutelebrities.  They would soon fade away like gone with the wind, hopefully very soon.  Where are all of the classy celebrity?  But I like my girl christina because she keeps it real, unlike them druggie twenty year olds out there in Beverly Hills

Mizz i would try the square root nicole = fugly^3

And marriage already? what are they thinking omg this is nothing but lust and it will not last. And what dad would approve of marriage to his daughter and he doesn’t even know her yet really? Dumbass.

You know what?  I just found a piece of lint on the floor more interesting than this.

Yuck, he’s gross to me. And running to the alter sounds like a really well thought out decision.
I too would be shocked if they actually married.

Dumb girls and loser guys are just so entertaining!

What a joke!!!! The comments above are right on. If she lives more than a few more months, they will split. If she dies sooner, he will be crying in a big bag of money. She has not gained any weight at all despite her paid mouthpieces claiming otherwise. Someone should tell them all that just repeating a lie over and over and over doesn’t make it true.

i’m with jewelacid on this one…  lets get some class up in this bitch!

I agree with Jewelacid, too. Also Jessica Alba has risen above the parisnickykimnicolemishalindsay pieces of crap and is a class act.

Fanfreakintaculous.  Another marriage that can last for 5 minutes.

wow… damn.. can someone say OUCH!
how much hilary feel? honestly i’m not a fan of her’s at all.. can’t really stand her for that matter… but WHAT THE FUCK!? getting married? i can’t even imagine how upset you must be if you break up with your “first’ true’ love” and literally 2 months later HE’S GETTING MARRIED?!
jesus christ. can someone help me look? i seem to have lost my respect.

lmfao ooohlala,  Fking hilarious!

I just hope she doesn’t wear white on the big day, lest she wants the church to end up in flames.
