Nicole Richie Beats Paris Hilton To The Punch... Again

Thumbnail image for nicole-richie-joel-madden-wedding-star-mag-cvr.jpgSomewhere Paris Hilton is sporting a bikini wedgie and drowning her non-engaged sorrows in tequila and table dancing. That's right - Hilton's former bestie, Nicole Richie, is not only a two-time mom... bitch just got herself engaged! Details, via Bri's Cheese & Sleaze

[I have a feeling they've been engaged longer than they would like us to believe but whatevz!  We'll just ACT surprised.

Nicole Richie has announced on the [Late Night With] David Letterman show (taped Monday - to air Friday) that she and Joel Madden are getting married. Whaaat?! Shut UP! The couple already has two children together, daughter Harlow (2) and son Sparrow (5 months) and have been dating since late 2006. Since right after the Hilary Duff days... awkward.

You know that since Nicole is getting married that Paris Hilton will announcer HER engagement any minute now...]

Frankly, I thought they were already engaged - or secretly wed. Richie and Madden seem to have the blissful nesting part down pat - that is when they're not busy designing eco-friendly jewelry or opening parks. Nicole has managed to surpass Paris on every level. By the time Hilton weds, it'll be so passe. I love that Nicole's clean lifestyle only helps highlight how truly irrelevant Paris has become - and that may be the biggest gift of all. 

[Star magazine cover: Yeah, maybe it was this tabloid cover that had me believing they were already hitched.]
