  Aw They would make cute best friends, they both have rocker boyfriends! And Nicole would be a great friend if ashlee IS pregnant, cause she was already there and she could help her out. And then their kids can be friends ;)

  Wow, there is alot going around that ashlee IS pregnent when we dont actually know, But, yes, i think they would make very very cute BFFS and i think that nicole could potentially help ashleee deal with it, because to be honest i dont think shes ready, whereas nicole was completly prepared for it.
  And on the subject of ashlee’s is she or isn’t she, we will soon find out because she cant hide it forever!!!

  james_sainville how do you know if nicole was ready to have her baby or not? And what makes you think that ashlee isn’t prepared to have a baby?? everyone thinks they know all these celeb’s, leave them alone…who cares if she is or if she isn’t. We should all just congratulate them, not talk a bunch of untrue crap about them.

  there is a saying ….”ugly people should not reproduce”

  but i guess since there is someone for everyone, it’s probably good these two found each other. besides, it may be just the thing to pry sleezy papa joe off of her!

  This is totally random, but I was looking at the poll results and was strucken with curiosity- this question is for all the Nicole fans who said they didn’t like Joel; completely wondering, but what is it you don’t like about him? Do you not like GC or something?
  I’m not trying to be rude, I just really am curious. Don’t take this the wrong way. :)

  the things that get me about joel all have to do with how fake he is.

  he plays the typical sanctimonious born-again, like most, just to improve his image, deflect well-deserved criticism for his own behavior and to be judgemental towards others, all the while trying to be the hip christian rocker. truth is, he’s a tool. he’s mean, foul-mouthed and has quite a temper. his physical scraps, brawls and expletive-infused rants were legendary just a short awhile ago. Now, poof! all better! I’d have more respect for him if he was just honest.

  he and nicole are milking their use of harlow to repair their images for all the poor little thing is worth. They play to the hilt “the good christian man saves naughty wild girl” schtick a bit too much. it’s sexist, but hey, that sells well today. Girls can never be too wild, without needing a male, firm hand to straighten them out. This bit is as old as Shakespears “Taming of the Shrew”.

  he’s also very sly about bashing Paris and Nicole is too. They throw her under the bus in order to, again, improve nicole’s image by playing to the media-created nonsense that Paris is the worse between the two of them and nicole is “getting her act together” while Paris is still “a slut.” Proving again that nicole isn’t much of a friend when her own self-interest is at stake.

  Too bad Benji is sticking up for Paris. he has defended her more in the past few months than Nicole ever has. That may not be going over too big with Joel and Nicole. Unless Benji is just playing paris as well, and i doubt it as this point, I accept his own words that he thinks the world of her and is very happy.

  I think Nicole is an opportunist and she wants to be protrayed more positively in the media. Nothing wrong with that, but I don’t like her and Joel’s methods to acheive that goal. they do have a choice, there are other ways to reach that goal without hurting other people.

  Wow. Bella, I just want to say, I love Joel like, so much, but I do respect that you could give legitamite reasons why you don’t like him, even if I completely disagree.

  and how in the heck would you know all of this about Nicole and Joel,Benji and Paris, Bella? You either agree with everything the media says(which most of the time is way off), Or your some close personal friend (which I highly doubt).
  I don’t think anyone should say anything so rude about them, unless they have a reliable source or actually heard it out of the mouth of Nicole,Joel,Benji or Paris somehow.

  you know, I was thinking that, but I wanted to be nice and I was just so “OMG SHE DIDN’T SAY HE WAS A POSER’ that I almost cheered. But I still respect that she gave legitamite reasons…

  jessica, denise -

  yes, wrt nicole and joel, I have actually heard things out of their mouths and have seen them on film - acting badly and saying things not so nice. not in print, on camera. remember joel smacking down photographers last year in a curse-filled rant? whatever happened with the lawsuit filed by the female photog he knocked down? papparazzi are annoying, but geez!

  yes, i agree the media usually gets it wrong. mainly on purpose because it’s all about selling. i’ve said before on this site that too many media outlets or internet bloggers don’t care about being accurate as much as they care about money. it’s just a market place. if they make more money by portraying someone bad, then they do.

  that has certainly happened to both paris and nicole. the difference is that paris, who has taken the brunt of this bad media behavior, has always been publically supportive of nicole, on camera, many times over. all during nicole’s pregnancy and after harlow was born, paris was doing a lot of media for her projects and she always talked up nicole.

  however the same can not be said of nicole and now joel. and sometimes it’s not what they say, but that when given an opportunity to say something nice about paris, they say nothing. that speaks volumes.

  recent example, joel was asked on camera what he thought of paris being harlow’s godmother and he hedged and wouldn’t answer. he could have said something positive and supportive of paris, but he didn’t. and that evasive, non-answer, said it all.

  but don’t take my word for it, just pay closer attention to how nicole and joel handle the media, especailly when asked about paris.

  bottomline, friends should support each other.

  Well, maybe them not saying anything is their way of saying they don’t really like her, which in my opinion is much more mature than saying that they don’t like her. Cuz honestly, I only hear Paris saying ‘omg we’re best friends yay’ but Nicole never says anything, so it makes me think that Nicole really doesn’t like her.

  And the thing with Joel, yeah, hitting someone wasn’t necessary, but that was also exaggerated. In the video I saw he pushed the person a bit, but not enough to really hurt somebody. and I imagine getting followed around constantly would get frustrating after a while and Joel’s human, he’s going to lose his temper about things.

  And I’ve never heard anything about Paris actually being the godmother, I’ve read articles about it,you know, the tabloids saying she’s gonna be the godmother, but I’ve never heard anything out of Joel or Nicole’s mouth about it. Is there an article or something I missed?
