New Lost Single Features Joel Madden
May 11, 2009 by Erin Balser
Lost, an Italian band, has released a new single titled “Sulla Mia Pelle”. The new song features Joel Madden and he evens sings in Italian!
Lost is an Italian pop rock band, comprising of three boys from Northern Italy. They came together in 2003 and found a great deal of success through MySpace and other social networks. They are now one of the biggest bands in Italy and will be touring across the continent all summer. You can listen to “Sulle Mia Pelle” in the video below.
Lost was recently in Vegas with Benji and Joel Madden and the band made a video for DCMA Collective’s video blog.
I’m not sure how Joel came to collaborate with them, but it’s a pretty interesting and challenging thing for Joel to do! I can barely imagine reading a passage in a different language, let alone sing one!
Joel Madden’s Club Mix-Up
May 10, 2009 by Erin Balser
Joel Madden and his brother Benji had a silly moment last night when they showed up at the wrong club for their DJ gig. The twosome were supposed to make a surprise appearance at Wango Tango, but got the venue mixed up. Instead of going to the Verizon Ampitheater as planned, they showed up at the Nokia Ampitheater. Needless to say their gig didn’t happen.
“Benj and [I] were supposed to do a suprise DJ set at Wango tango. And we showed up to do it. At the Nokia theater. Only one problem,” Joel twittered. “It was at the Verizon ampitheater. Needless to say we didn’t get to do our surprise DJ set. We are really sorry to everyone we let down.”
Thankfully, the organizers understood and all is well. The gig is being rescheduled and Joel and Benji will make an extra effort to shot up at the correct location!
“Thank you KIIS FM for understanding our stupidity. We will definitely make it up to everyone. We missed a great show,” he tweeted.
As unfortunate as this is, these things happen. Especially when your life is as busy and harried as I’m sure Joel’s is. I’m just glad they are going to make it up to the organizers and the fans by rescheduling!

Tattoo Regulations Don’t Exist, BA Claims
April 27, 2009 by Erin Balser
TMZ has followed up with British Airways about the tattoo incident Joel Madden experienced when trying to board a flight to Lisbon this weekend. He was told he couldn’t get on the plane until he covered his tattoos. This story was picked up very quickly all over the internet and it has gotten back to BA.
A British Airways rep told TMZ that “we don’t understand why the employee took it upon himself to enforce regulations that don’t exist” and that the employee who asked Joel to cover his arms is being reprimanded.
Joel blogged about the incident on the Good Charlotte blog today too. He’s very surprised by all the attention it has gotten. He writes that he’s not going to file a complaint, he’s just never going to use the airline again.

Joel Madden Asked to Cover Tattoos for Flight
April 26, 2009 by Erin Balser
Joel Madden is currently on a week-long worldwide DJ tour and has been twittering about all his experiences. Yesterday, British Airways refused to let him on the plane until he covered his tattoos.
This bizarre incident has been picked up all over the internet and has everyone asking just what British Airways found offensive about Joel’s tattoos and why they would ask him to cover them.
The controversy started yesterday afternoon when Joel wrote “Was just told by a british air person I can’t get on the plane till I cover my tatts. Should I fight the power?” This was retweeted and even picked up by several tabloid and gossip sites.
After the flight, Joel admitted he conceded to the request and covered his arms. “I did end up covering my tats. Its not my style to cause a scene I just had a convo with the BA guy told him how it was discrimination,” he wrote.
Nicole Richie even got in on the action, twittering “PS all of @joelmadden ’s tattos are spiritual. Since when is expressing your love for God & family against what British Airways stands for?”
I honestly don’t understand how or why Joel’s tattoos would be an issue for the airline. How is it different than discriminating against as something as silly as hair color or jewelry? I feel bad for Joel that he had such an experience. however, I bet British Airlines has learned a valuable lesson, as this story has gained lots of traction.
I hope Joel enjoys the rest of his trip and makes it home safely!

Nicole Richie & Joel Madden’s Busy Week
March 15, 2009 by Erin Balser
What a week Nicole Richie and Joel Madden had! It started off with a bang, with Joel celebrating his 30th birthday with friends and family at the Sunset Tower.
On March 10th, Nicole and Joel were seen at a tattoo parlor. It looks as though Joel was getting another tattoo. Perhaps something to commemorate turning 30? Nicole and Joel were quite affectionate in the parking lot. Nicole looked great , wearing a military-inspired jacket, skinny black pants, sunglasses and an oversized scarf. See the photos here.
On March 12th, Nicole and Joel attended the EcoMom salon party. The event was for raising awareness about conflict metals in Africa and the subsequent devastating war in the Congo. The event was a private affair held at Todd & Kate Traina’s house and hosted by Robin Wright Penn. See the photos here.
Earlier the same day, Joel was seen getting coffee with an unknown friend that afternoon. Anyone know who she is? See the photos here.
In other news, Joel has started a Twitter account. We know it’s his official account because he announced it on the Good Charlotte blog. If you’re on Twitter, follow Joel @ItsJoelMadden.

Joel Madden’s Blow-Out 30th Birthday Bash
March 12, 2009 by Erin Balser
Nicole Richie the boyfriend Joel Madden an intimate but exciting 30th birthday party on the terrace of the Sunset Tower hotel. The private party had about 35 guests, including Nicole and Joel’s closest friends and family. The guests were served an elaborate three-course meal, which was followed up by a “massive” birthday cake.
“There was a lot of laughing and even some speeches,” a eyewitness told Celebuzz. “Nicole and Joel were nestled in the center of the big group and they looked as happy as they could be to be celebrating with their friends. They were beaming in the soft terrace lighting.”
The terrace is an intimate place, and a great place to hrow a party. It has a fantastic view of the Los Angeles city lights and cane be closed off from the rest of the restaurant for complete privacy.
Since the party was so private, I haven’t come across many photos of it yet. I wonder who was in attendance. Since becoming parents, Joel and Nicole’s social circle has changed quite a bit. They’re spending a lot more time with other Hollywood parents and less time with the young Hollywood crowd.
I hope Joel enjoyed his birthday! 30 is a big year!
