im sure look at joel trying to be all gangster in a THREE 6 MAFIA shirt. Dang!! Major gangster over here

I am happy for Joel and Nicole, but in your article you said Joel's father was a GROCERY CLERK.....Well, he is NOT and never was. He is a retired Meatcutter of 35 years. I think the boys need to start and shed a little better light on their father. Get over the past.

wow DDUB, you actually tried to debate something other than the fact that you are useless to society, big dummy

Even though I think he is a perv I don't think he was rude. I mean he explained it pretty well. He wants work and home seperated. Besides that 1st real view of the baby is coming up in a few weeks (if her time table reports are right) and with all these experts ringing in on how bad off the baby "could be" maybe he feels like he will jinx it or something. Besides I am tired of the cat and mouse game they are playing anyhow. They haven't even said she was in fact preggers. I am losing interest in the fast.

Course we all know her big announcement will come at the openiing day of her trial... if there is anything to announce this is Hollywood.

Hey, I DID have to ask the question because I would suck if I didn't. But I respect the guy and his privacy. If he is having a kid, then keeping the kid out of the spotlight is a good policy. I just hope he can! And I hope Nicole can, as well. Remember, we only know Nicole from her image in the tabloids and that stupid reality show. I hope fame hasn't screwed her up beyond redemption, as it seems. -KK

This stuff cracks me up. We could probably find about 100 interviews with this guy talking about his personal life. Suddenly it's his rule not to? Nobody cares what he says but why can't people just say that they don't feel like talking about it? The situation is highly publicized and he doesn't have to talk about it. But he doesn't have to make lame excuses either. In this circumstance, Nicole Richie wants this attention. She feeds on it. She chases it so I don't feel bad for her at all. The girl doesn't even have genuine fame but she hunts down the attention like a gazelle.

That's kind of a rude response. He should have just started with "I don't speak about home at work". I mean the reporter is asking what they are suppossed to ask. So actually, they did *have* to ask. There's no reason to bring anyone else down.

Your ~LIKE~ so wrong, yet again. I'm not on here night and day, LOL? Is this all you have after my two week break? Sheesh! *yawn* anything better? please....

Pretty much you're wrong, they are in the buisness because that is what they want to do. In the past the paparazzi sh!t hasn't been as bad as it is today, I know dang well that Good Charlotte has been around for awhile and I know dang well that Joel Madden hasn't been publicly known as much as he is today. He didn't get into the buisness to share his life, he got in it to sing and perform and do what he is best at. Sure, a couple panty throws are fun but he should have every right in this world to hide his private life.
I agree with Stacie, GOOD FOR HIM!

Ps: if your going to comment back and say something stupid, save us the time and go infront of a mirror and say it, k? : )

No I didn't. You have YOUR point of view and I have mine. It's not a contest you know. Just a forum for stating your opinion and I happen to differ from yours. Nothing you said OWNED me anyways really. Just sayin'.

In my opinion the press can ask whatever they want but the celebrity should decide wether they answer or not. They can simply say that they will not comment about their personal life. If Nicole is pregnant that is nothing to be embarrassed about, they are both singles and can do whatever they want with their lives as long as they are not hurting others.

I think Joel Madden is the best thing that ever happened to Nicole. (Hopefully, she won't mess it up!) That being said, I agree that you can't pick and choose the parts of celebrity-hood that you do and don't like. Once you choose to be in the public eye, your entire life is an open book...like it or not. People watch your TV shows, buy your records, etc., so they feel they have a "right" to know about you. The questions and intrusions can go overboard, but there's an easy alternative. Get a nice 9-to-5 like the average schlub and you'll be left alone!!

But yeah, like Stacie says...I like Joel. I'm still on the fence about Nicole, though :)

7:16 PM Samantha Says:

I'm sorry for offending you..it wasn't my intention, honestly. I just feel that the way he defended himself was good and I don;t like when people think they have a right to know what is going on in thier lives. Yes, we are curious and want to know....but if they don't want to share, we have to respect that. Thanks also for responding friendly....i didn't want to start any argument. I'm heading out so have a great rest of the night!

6:56 PM Samantha Says:

You have your opinion and I have mine as I clearly stated. So that being said....no I am NOT wrong. You cannot have a wrong opinion...you can just disagree. Being famous does not give anyone the right to invade privacy. I don't care if you're the President. No one has the right to invade your privacy for any reason...that's the whole reason we have laws! Go ahead and disagree, that's fine. But don't tell me I'm wrong for what I want to say.

Samantha, you're on a roll. Too funny. My thoughts exactly.
