Nicole Richie and Joel Madden are engaged

People Magazine is reporting that Nicole Richie and Joel Madden are engaged. Hot 99.5 morning show deejay Kane had the inside scoop on Friday: ‘We heard this morning,’ Kane told People following Good Charlotte’s 40-minute set. Crediting he got the word from ‘good sources.’ ‘They’re very excited about the baby and the wedding. They want to keep their personal life personal,’ he added. So, the two are keeping mum about the pending nuptials. I’ll assume out of shame. Who’d admit to marrying Joel Madden or Nicole Richie? They probably wake up in the morning, look at each other, and sob uncontrollably. I bet the kid will pop out, scope out his parents, then ask to be switched at birth – with anything. The Coke machine in the lobby will do the trick. You wouldn’t even have to explain to Nicole why her child is a bottle of cola. She’d just punt the thing and say “Thanks for keeping me out of jail, soda-baby!” Photos: Splash
