"Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a daddy." So spake Keanu Reeves (or paraphrased words to that respect) in his seminal (oh shut up) speech about the joys of masturbation in the epically awful Parenthood. And now here comes an extension of that great theory: anyone can be a mother but it takes someone special to be a Mommy and the special person who is combining both of those roles is... Nicole Richie! Yes! Against all biological, physical and general karmic laws wee Nicole is sustaining another life inside her.
The proud daddy is a certain Joel Madden, who you may or probably don't know from the American whingefest Good Charlotte. The proud parents have announced the happy event in the traditional manner - on the cover of Us magazine, which is basically an American Heat - and will commemorate their upcoming joy in a similarly holy manner: when Nicole appears in court for a DUI charge which may result in her spending 90 days in prison. One cannot but suspect that the 12 week Richie foetus is starting as he will mean to go on.
Break out the champers, Lionel! And go dance on that ceiling, grandpa|!
