Ah, waifish Nicole - have you or haven't you? One thing you have done for sure - surpassed Paris Hilton on the scale of "classy." Not that it was exactly difficult to accomplish, but congratulations nonetheless. I feel like there was something else... Ah-ha! Marriage. Reportedly Nicole Richie and Joel Madden have finally gotten hitched. Rumors have been swirling for awhile that the happy parents secretly wed - and Star Magazine claims to have the scoop. Read on:

[Just one month after welcoming baby Sparrow into their family, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden marked another major milestone: They tied the knot! In our Nov. 2 issue -- on sale now -- we exclusively report that the long-time loves exchanged vows during an intimate at-home ceremony on Oct. 14 with Joel's brother and bandmate Benji as a witness. But the couple were hardly alone on their big day. They were actually married -- along with 45,000 other people worldwide! -- as part of a mass wedding by the Unification Church.

"Joel had been begging Nicole to get married since before Harlow was born. She wasn't in a rush to make it official," a source says. But when her first love, Adam Goldstein (aka DJ AM), died of a sudden drug overdose in August, she decided to take the plunge. "She didn't want to spend another day not being Mrs. Joel Madden."

But she also didn't want a big, splashy affair. "Nicole is a free spirit, and she wanted a wedding ceremony that reflected that" a source says. "She found out about the mass wedding online and thought it would be perfect for the two of them."]

While I doubt the validity of the "mass online wedding," I don't doubt that these two could have quietly wed. I'm sure they still have plans for a big party at some point. A leopard can't change all it's spots!
