Joel Madden is an animal! He can't be contained - not even by earth angel, Nicole Richie. Yes, Nicole has rehabbed her image and I do believe she's doing a lot better - but I still think there's a little bit of "the bitch" that lingers. You can't have survived a decade of being best friends with Paris Hilton and not emerge with a black mark on your soul. Regardless, she does seem to put her all into being the best mother possible to the adorable Harlow Winter. Is Joel following the same parental guidelines? Not so much. Madden seems to desperately want out of the cage he's created for himself. The man who once said, "We let love plan our babies" is out on the prowl. Apparently he's feeling a little trapped - and he might be looking for solace in the arms of another women. Geez, I should quit this biz and start writing Harlequin Romances. Sorry about that. Anyways, here's the scoop. It's via The Enquirer , so take it with the proverbial grain of salt.

[While pregnant Nicole Richie sat home with 18-month-old daughter Harlow, boyfriend Joel Madden spent the night "drinking and flirting" - and then exchanged phone numbers! - with a sexy, tattooed brunette at the Hollywood club Guys & Dolls, an eyewitness told The Enquirer. A disc-jockey gig turned into a raucous boys' night out - acting "out of control and definitely behaving like a single guy," the source told The Enquirer. "Instead of staying home with pregnant Nicole, he was acting like a total tool - smoking, drinking Red Bull and vodka, and buying drinks for a woman at the club who was hanging all over him."

"He was definitely acting like a complete Hollywood player."

Joel started the flirting, says the insider - and the tattooed beauty flirted right back. "She twirled her hair and kept leaning in closely and whispering in his ear. Joel smiled at her, touched her, and bought her a Heineken. And that was all she needed - she hung onto him for the rest of the night." The two even exchanged phone numbers.

"It was such a tacky thing to do in front of people who knew he had a girlfriend at home waiting for him," continued the eyewitness. "I'm sure he had some major explaining to do when he got home."]

I love the part where he was acting like "a total tool." I wasn't aware that lexicon had made the jump to print. Awesome! Despite the source, I think there could be a smidgen of truth to this rumor - this isn't the first time he's been accused of behaving less than appropriately, given his life choices. I've got to say, it sounds like he's landed some quality snatch. He bought her a Heineken and that was all she needed? Sounds like a winner! Good luck with this one Nicole, I think you might need it.
