It’s bad enough that you can’t bring your own bottled water on a flight-unless you’re willing to pay four dollars for the much safer Poland Springs crap that is for sale within the terminal, of course.  But now, apparently you can’t bring your own body art either.

Joel Madden was forced to cover up his tattoos before boarding a British Airways flight this weekend.  He gave in to the man and put on a long sleeve shirt and of course documented the whole thing on Twitter.

Was just told by a british air person I can’t get on the plane till I cover my tatts. Should I fight the power?

Isn’t it comforting to know that airline security is focusing on real threats such as exposed body art?  I know I’ll sleep better tonight knowing that British Airways is vigilant in their concern with the personal safety of all the passengers who could have been harmed by viewing Joel Madden’s tats.

You don’t want to screw around with pregnancy hormones.  I don’t know why Tila Tequila didn’t know this, but I bet she does now.

The Enquirer reports that Nicole Richie and Joel Madden were at a post-Oscars bash when reality-tv star and skanky dress designer, Tila Tequila arrived.  She was hugging Joel and hanging on him until Nicole dragged her fiance away.  Later in the night, Tila circled around again, trying to reconnect with Madden.  That’s when Nicole went psycho.  She put her face in Tequila’s, but thankfully not in tequila, and screamed for her to back off.  Tila left the party several minutes later.

When I was pregnant with my oldest, I almost threw a full bowl of Lucky Charms at my ex-husband’s head.  I’m sure it was just the hormones.  Yep.

And it begins!

Now that Nicole Richie has announced that she is pregnant (which Wendie totally called back in January), we can start looking at pictures of her and playing Spot the Baby Bump.

Here’s Nicole and Joel heading to the Vanity Fair Oscar party on Sunday.

DEFINITE baby bump. Cuteness!

I know I am in the minority here, but I’m still waiting for the giant Nicole Richie drug relapse. I certainly wish all the best for her and her family, but I know this girl too well. It’s gonna happen, and it’s gonna be messy. You can pop out all the kids you want, Nicole. It’s not going to fix the fact that you’re an addict. They may not all get printed, because you’re really not that relevant anymore, but you better believe I still hear the stories about your drunken antics and tantrums. I know you haven’t really changed.

Nicole gets to amaze us all over again with her incredible shrinking body! Joel Madden went onto the Good Charlotte blog last night and announced that he and Nicole are expecting baby numero dos!

“I am so happy to tell everyone that Harlow is going to be a big sister! God has truly blessed my family. Hope you’re all feeling as good as I am right now.”

I think this might be the final shovel of dirt on Nicole’s crazy past. I commend her, because if you look back just a few years, Nicole then, and Nicole now are completely different people.

I may not be a fan of all her headbands and sunglasses but I will say this:  Nicole Richie and Joel Madden actually do stuff other than shop.  We always see them being involved in different charities and that is so refreshing to see.  They give back which goes a long way towards forgiving her accessories.

Pics of Nic and Joel today at a party hosted by Beyond Shelter at Magic Mountain.  And listen, I know this is shallow while I’m applauding their philanthropy, but does anyone know where I can find that Clone Wars hoodie? 

Joel Madden and Nicole Richie appeared last night at the official launch of the Madden brother’s K-DCMA footwear line.  Nicole continues to look beautiful but I maintain my position that she’s getting scary skinny.

Also there, Benji Madden (of course!), Audrina Patridge and Tila Tequila. 

Do you think people in other countries laugh at us because Tila Tequila is considered famous here in the United States?  I knew that she liked to make out with chicks on TV but I just wiki’d her to educate myself on the back story of Tila.  Yeah, there really isn’t any.  She did release a book on December 2nd titled Hooking Up With Tila Tequila because she had so much advice to offer people.  Like, way more than could ever be typed out on a website.  “I can’t just write a blog on it, because it would be the size of a book.”  And it’s random but, a couple of years ago, she had a clothing line (!) with the slogan of “So hot you’ll just want to take it all off!”  How is it that tilafashion.com is out of business yet Lauren Conrad’s collection still limps along?
