Celeb Binge

Paris Hilton has swapped partying for Monopoly.

The ‘Simple Life’ star, who is currently dating Good Charlotte rocker Benji Madden, prefers quiet nights at home preparing homemade food and playing the property board game with her friends.

She said: “When I was younger I loved to go out, but now that I’m in a really great relationship it’s so much more fun to stay at home. We don’t really like to go out. We have game night where friends come over and play Monopoly. I love to cook for Benji, I cook great lasagne. I’ve grown up a lot and I’m at peace. He has changed my life in every way.”

Paris isn’t the first celebrity to confess a love of games. Pregnant Jessica Alba recently revealed she has been spending hours playing family card game Apples to Apples, while Kanye West played classic children’s game Connect Four on his European tour and even challenged Beyonce Knowles to a tournament.

Paris - who is wearing a new two-banded diamond ring on her engagement finger - also revealed the pair have discussed starting a family, and she has her heart set on a traditional white wedding.

The 27-year-old socialite - who is best friends with Nicole Richie who is engaged to Benji’s brother Joel Madden - added: “We want to stay together forever. I wouldn’t do a Las Vegas wedding. I don’t know where or when but I do want it to be romantic. I can tell Benji will be an incredible father. He loves babies. Nicole is our first friend to have a baby. Seeing her daughter Harlow, it really makes me want one. I’ve always wanted to have a baby.”

When it seems like Michael Jackson digs his way out of one hardship, money problems always finds a way to creep back into his life. Neverland Ranch may be temporarily saved but the former singer’s Encino property is facing foreclosure. A Notice of Trustee’s Sale which was dated April 11th details that the singer’s 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom property was scheduled to be sold at a public auction on May 5 if Jacko fails to pay the balance he owes on the property. Jacko owes exactly $414,806.66. A rep for the singer however says that he has already caught up on his payments and that “The property has been paid and is no longer in foreclosure.”

What type of house would you live in or build if you were a celebrity? Would you build a home that depicts your hobbies, or would you build a place that is so “you” or so overpriced that you couldn’t sell it no matter how hot the market? With those questions in mind, we sought the ten top most ridiculous, obnoxious, and just plain ugly celebrity pads around. Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so what we think is tacky might seem gorgeous and practical to another beholder…The list below is in no particular order. While the sites are numbered, the numbering does not indicate that we favor one site over another or that they are listed in order of value.

1. Britney Spears: According to public records, Spears purchased the Malibu, California house through her Love Shack Trust in October 2004 for $6,300,000. The 7,400 square foot home boasts a pool, a spa, tennis court and gym, a maid’s quarters, seven bedrooms and six and a half bathrooms. Spears put the home on the market in January 2007 for $13.5 million, but the price dropped in March to $11.8 million. The house, which is located in the exclusive gated Serra Retreat area where such stars as Mel Gibson live, may have priced itself out of the market for the moment. Additionally, rumor has it that the gated estate was too overly-customized to Mr. and Mrs. Spears’ tastes. According to the linked source, “A bar in every room was too over-the-top for the average potential buyer in that price range - not to mention the lavish poolside bar built over which once was the tennis court.” This past March, papers were served to Britney and she was almost evicted because she hadn’t paid the rent. It appears that Britney’s financial team screwed up, but that all payments now are current.
2. John Travolta: No, this isn’t an airline terminal. It’s the home of John Travolta and family, built specifically to house his Gulfstream and Boeing 707B. The home is located immediately off a main airstrip in Ocala, Florida, and it’s designed so his jets can taxi right up to two outbuildings connected to the main structure that’s shaped like a truncated air-control tower. Although the property came equipped with a 7,500-foot runway, Travolta extended the taxiway to reach the house. Actress Kelly Preston, Travolta’s wife, can tell when John’s home, as the planes are visible from the living area inside the home. If that’s not enough airline for you, wait until you see the mural in the dining area that was culled from a 1937 Fortune magazine ad. Diners can pretend they’re eating in the lobby of a 1930s Paris airport.
3. Michael Jackson: Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch served as the pop singer’s private amusement park and home when the facility opened in 1988, but it’s no longer in operation. This ridiculous property, which lies over 2,800 acres, contains a zoo, a theme park with Ferris wheel, merr-go-round, zipper, spider, sea dragon, wave swinger, super slide, dragon wagon kiddie roller coaster, and bumper cars. Named for Neverland, the fantastical island in the story of Peter Pan where children never grow up, the ranch is located near Los Olivos, California. As of March, 2008, the property remains in foreclosure proceedings, with a possible auction slated unless Jackson clears his debt. The auction may be forestalled by a loan extension offered by his loan holder Fortress Investments, according to Fox News.
4. Ira Rennert: Rennert, a publicity-shy billionaire founder of the Renco Group, is known more for his obnoxious New York Hamptons home than he is for anything else. This mansion is considered one of the largest occupied residential compounds in America, and - if put on the market - may be the valued as the most expensive home on earth. The home sits on 63 acres, and the buildings cover over 110,000 square feet including the 66,000 square foot main house. The main building contains a 91-foot long dining room, 29 bedrooms and 39 bathrooms. Fair Field, named after the adjoining Fairfield Pond, also contains a bowling alley, tennis and squash courts, and a $150,000 hot tub.
5. Candy Spelling: Producer Aaron Spelling tore down Bing Crosby’s old home to build this ridiculous 56,000-square-foot, 123-room Los Angeles, California estate. Unarguably the largest estate in California, this hotel-sized mansion sports a bowling alley and a single room devoted entirely to gift wrapping. While rumors ran rampant that Aaron’s widow, Candy, would sell the home in 2006 following Aaron’s death, Candy dispelled the rumors and continues to reside alone in the mansion. Candy Spelling is the mother of Tori and Randy Spelling, both actors. Candy and Tori have remained hot in celebrity mags, thanks to their feuds over Aaron’s inheritance, Tori’s portrayal of her mother in a VH1 sitcom, and other family feudal issues.
6. Will Smith: This is Will and Jada Smith’s ridiculously obnoxious mansion, located in California. Their estate is described as a Calabasas castle, as it has its own lake, basketball court, tennis court and a pair of private par threes in the backyard. The estate took over seven years to build at $20 million. Smith stated, “The problem is that you build your dream home, but then you’re seven years older so it’s the house you used to want real bad!” By 2004, when they had seven months until they could move in, Smith added, “We’ve got about seven more months (before we move in). Everybody is excited because we went (to the house) and we let the kids come in and they picked out their rooms. Some of them are not gonna live there because they’re gonna have their own home by the time we actually move in!” The Smith family was forced to leave this home in 2005 when a bush fire threatened to destroy it and several other houses in the same area.
7. Donald Trump: Donald Trump’s Palm Beach, Florida mansion was primed for the real estate market in 2006, and this 80,000-square-foot estate was priced at $125 million well before the housing meltdown. This obnoxious mansion, which resembles a civic center, totals 62,000 square feet, with nine bedrooms, a ballroom, media room, art gallery, beauty salon, and a 4,100-square-foot conservatory. Additionally, the 6.5-acre property with 475 feet of ocean frontage includes two guest houses, a pool, and parking for 40 cars. Trump purchased the estate for $41.35 million in a 2004 Florida bankruptcy-court auction. Trump renovated Maison de l’Amitié during his tenure, and during the sale it was listed as the most expensive home on the market anywhere in the U.S.
8. Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan bin Abdul Aziz: Shortly after His Royal Highness Prince Bandar bin Sultan bin Abdulaziz was appointed Secretary-General of the National Security Council by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah on October 16, 2005, he put his house in Aspen, Colorado up for sale. His reason for purchasing this home, which sits on 95 acres, includes his position as Ambassador of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to the United States of America from October 24, 1983 to September 8, 2005. However, it appears that His Highness rarely stayed at this U.S. palace. The main portion of the house, which is larger than the White House, includes 16 bathrooms, 15 bedrooms, stables, a tennis court, an indoor swimming pool, outdoor water features and a snowmelt driveway. The price? At the time, the asking price was $135 million, ten million more than what Trump asked for his Palm Beach estate. The Prince took the house off the market in November 2007 after a lack of offers.
9. Michael Vick: The former quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons is languishing in jail and no longer lives in this somewhat tacky Surrey County, Virginia home since he was convicted for dog fighting. The house includes 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, a white brick exterior, hardwood floors, and a full basketball court in the backyard. Although the Surry County, Virginia Commissioner of the Revenue stated the dwelling itself is valued at $647,000, and the 15 acres of land upon which the home sits was valued at $100,000, it would be very spooky to live in a home where this celebrity buried dog carcasses. The home sits across the street from a Baptist Church and is surrounded by a large, white fence and was sold at auction in November 2007.
10. Martha Stewart: Would you pay $8.9 million for this house? That’s what Martha Stewart wants for her Westport, Connecticut home called “Turkey Hill.” The Georgian style house sports nine bedrooms, three baths, several outbuildings and “the nicest garden in town.” However, we feel that - given Martha’s gift for creativity - this house really is a turkey. At least it has plenty of room to roam on 4.03 acres. But, that wallpaper effect on the stairwell needs to go

She’s being nice and offering her congratulations, but you know inside she’s laughing. She knows she got the better end of the deal by being able to stay in her seat by Regis.

In response to Kathie Lee’s new television gig, Kelly Ripa says, “I’m so excited for her. Everybody’s like, ‘Have you ever met her?’ I’m like, met her? I know her intimately! I’m so happy for her.”

Kelly goes on, “She’s very influential in my life. I saw her doing it all - a working mom. She had a big impact on me.”

It seems that Karina Smirnoff from Dancing with the Stars might have more than one Mario rocking her world after all. Lately, she’s been publicly dating her former DWTS partner Mario Lopez.

Recently there have been rumors that she’s been stepping around with her current star Mario. She was spotted at the Four Seasons in Los Angeles with him recently. A source says, “They were making out by the valet with their hands all over each other, and he was whispering in her ear. It was around midnight, so there weren’t many people around.” They left together in the same car.

Reps for DWTS and Mario Lopez haven’t commented yet, but Karina’s rep says it didn’t happen and that they only have a “professional working relationship.”

Ex-wild child Kelly Osbourne has told of her ten year booze and drug hell that ended with her taking 100 pills a day.

Kelly, 23, admitted she was a drug addict by 13 and that only now – after three spells in rehab – is she finally clean.

The new face of TV’s Project Catwalk, also revealed mum Sharon saved her life by punching her to stop her falling into a drug-induced coma.

Kelly said: “All the voices in my head were telling me I was worthless.”

Willis, that is. Ryan Phillippe was on the Howard Stern Show and discussed his divorce from actress Reese Witherspoon. He says the divorce was a “mutual” decision. He also approved of her current flame, Jake Gyllenhaal.

Ryan said, “He’s a good dude. I love her and I want her to be happy, and it seems like she is.”

Hmm, maybe one day we’ll see the whole family hanging out like the Kutcher-Moore-willis brood.

Lindsay Lohan may have blown a big payday courtesy of her feud with Paris Hilton.

Li-Lo was presenting a fashion show before reportedly storming out halfway through after discovering Paris’ handbag range was one of its sponsors. Angry organisers were so incensed by her hissy fit, they are refusing to stump up her reported $35,000 fee she was set to receive for just two hours work.

The cheeky scamp riled them further more by swiping a free goodie bag containing an array of expensive items on her way out.

Unfortunately for Li-Lo, her disappearing act was quickly forgotten when Paris later rolled up with boyfriend Benji Madden, and stole the show.

Party organiser Claus Hjelmbak said: “I’m grossly disappointed in Lindsay for not fulfilling her contractual duties. But Paris truly saved the night. She was very gracious to everyone - and was the life of the party.”

The Hollywood party girls’ feud has been going on for years but was reignited recently when Paris banned Lindsay from attending any of her high-profile birthday bashes.

Apparently, Mel Gibson and some business partners purchased several properties in Agoura Hills, California, under some trusts. A bod was found hanging inside one of those homes on Sierra Creek Road.

The victim was a 48 year old white male. It was an apparent suicide, but police are still conducting a homicide investigation.

Mel’s rep says that Mel is not aware of any ongoing projects in that area. Although he is a part owner in the property, a spokesman for the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department says, “There is no indication that Mel Gibson had anything to do with this or knew about this.”

Kevin Federline looks like he’s finally ready to start working for a living. He is reportedly interested in taking over his favorite Mexican restaurant and wants to go into business with his former father-in-law. No, we don’t make this stuff up. Jamie Spears used to dabble in the restaurant biz before but his last attempt went up in flames. Now that Jamie is signing all of Britney’s checks, his recovering daughter is reportedly expected to bankroll the unconventional partnership. Maybe Jamie’s just keeping his eye on KFed so Britney can retain constant contact with the kids. Or maybe there’s really just more to KFed that we still don’t know about.

Madonna isn’t worried about her younger rivals - because she can still kick their “a***s”.

The ‘Material Girl’ singer - who turns 50 in August - doesn’t feel threatened by pop stars who are half her age because she enjoys competition.

She said: “Getting older is an advantage in terms that you’ve got a lot more experience and you tend to not make the same mistakes. And you feel a bit wiser and less impulsive. It’s great to feel experienced. But I also work with people who are half my age, so I feel like I have to work even harder to keep up with everybody. but the fact of the matter is I can kick all of their a***s! I guess I’m OK for now. It does keep the flame under my foot, though.”

The mother-of-three - who released her debut album, ‘Madonna’, in 1982 - also revealed she barely recognises herself in old publicity shots.

She added: “Sometimes, I see a picture of me and I really remember that moment - and it brings back memories, very specific memories. And other photographs that I see, I just think - who’s that? I don’t know that girl! I don’t regret any of it, but I do sometimes think, ‘Oh God, what was I thinking? Why did I wear that, why did I do that?’ All kinds of things.”

Someone who claimed to be a doctor called 911 Saturday to say that a woman at Heather Locklear’s house in L.A. was suicidal. The man said he wanted someone to go check on her.

Two calls were made around 8 p.m., and police and paramedics went to the home. They were there less than an hour and left, saying that no one at the home seemed to be in any sort of danger.

No word yet on who the caller was.

It seems like Lindsay Lohan has actually been trying to keep her life in order. But some people are worried about the new group of “bad influences” she’s got hanging around her.

Her group has recently started to include Courtenay Semel and Jeremy Geffen. Courtenay is the 28 year old lesbian daughter of Terry Semel, former CEO of Yahoo!. Jeremy is a music manager who happens to be good friends with Jason “Gummi Bear” Davis. Davis was recently busted for possession of heroin. The two run with a wild crowd, and a Lohan insider says, “They are leeches, and they are trying to drag Lindsay down and use her for her fame.”

Will Smith is to host a concert celebrating Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday this summer.

The Hollywood actor and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith have agreed to front the star-studded event in London’s Hyde Park on June 27 after being asked by the iconic former South African leader. As well as recognising the landmark date, the event will raise money for 46664, Mandela’s AIDS charity.

A source said, ‘Will Smith is a big fan of Nelson and wanted to help out. Nelson is so inspirational and so many artists want to be involved. Razorlight, Keane, Queen and Annie Lennox are definites. U2, the Spice Girls and Sir Paul McCartney could join them and Eminem’s up for it too. We think it will be Nelson Mandela’s last international public appearance, which will make it even more special.’

Should Eminem agree to perform it would be his first major concert appearance since his self-imposed retirement in 2005.

The event will be attended by 45,000 music fans, and special guests will include Britain’s Princes William and Harry, former US President Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary, who is currently running to become the next President.

The first 46664 concert was held in Cape Town, South Africa, in 2003. There have since been events in Norway and Spain. The significance of 46664 is that it was Mandela’s inmate number during his imprisonment in apartheid South Africa from 1964 until 1990.

Kid Rock has entered his plea to battery charges stemming from a fight at a Waffle House in Atlanta. The rap rocker, whose real name is Robert Ritchie, was not in court when his attorney entered the plea on his behalf. And his say – not guilty. Cops arrested Kid and five members of his posse last October on misdemeanor charges of simple battery. The group had gone to the eatery after a concert when the fight broke out. According to police reports, a customer at the Waffle House saw a woman in Kid Rock’s party and exchanged words with her, allegedly inciting Kid.

Jessica Alba is in her third trimester, and the expectant mother had a bit of a scary moment at Sunday’s Academy Awards. She didn’t miss her lines or fall when she was presenting, but she did trip when she was offstage.

She said, “I did have a stumble backstage outside of the green room. Cash caught one arm and the other hit the floor.” No pics, though. Jessica says, “Luckily all the photogs were taking pics of Cameron D.”

True Brad Renfro fans were a little more than upset last night when the Academy Awards showed their annual montage in memory of industry members who died over the last year. Strangely, Brad was not shown in the video clips.

The last person to be shown was Heath Ledger, who died one week after Brad. If you remember, Brad died of an accidental heroin overdose. He was only 25. Most likely, Heath was shown last because he was expected to be the most liked and respected person in the montage, and thus would receive the most applause.

And I’m not talking about mind games, which they are definitely good at.

Instead, lots of celebrities gathered together for a friendly game of dominoes Friday night. It was the 1st annual Domino Tournament to benefit the Art of Elysium. It was hosted by Fawaz Gruossi of de Grisgono.

In attendance were hotties Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore, with Rumer Willis tagging along. Also there were Salma Hayek, Kate Hudson, Penelope Cruz, Charlize Theron, Molly Sims, Kate Beckinsale, Harvey Weinstein, James Van Der Beek, and Lydia Hearst, and Zeta Graff.

A lot of fans were disappointed with the news that the Spice Girls are cutting their reunion tour short. Choosing not to leave the fans up in the air with just a written statement, the girls chose to record a video message that apologizes to fans saying sorry for canceling their tour. Posh said “We have children. Kids need to go back to school and we’ve always said that our families are our priorities so we want to thank all of our fans. Sorry we haven’t got to see everybody. We had a great time.” So what’s Mel C’s excuse? She doesn’t have a kid.

After shooting a movie together like Brokeback Mountain, how can you not be close? Apparently, this is quite the case for Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal. The two were good friends, and Jake is the godfather of Heath’s two year old daughter Matilda.

Those around Jake say he is having a really rough time with Heath’s death. A friend says, “Jake is taking this harder than most people.”

Those on the set of Jake’s current film project say his mood has gone from playful to somber in the days following Heath’s death. The director is working around any personal leave Jake needs to take.

Whatever is in the stars for David Beckham this year I haven’t a clue. But the sexy footballer has new ink work on his forearm featuring a string of them.

After opening his third football academy, the LA Galaxy midfielder showed the tatt off during a kick about in Brazil. And don’t get me wrong, he looked good doing it. Becks is a cool guy and in great shape but I have to say I think he’s overdoing it on the inking front.

The new work has been done since his charity trip to Sierra Leone ten days ago. But there’s still room on his upper arm for a “Beckham 100” logo if he gets his 100th England cap next week.

Well that’s ok then.

In the meantime, Posh better watch out as I’m not the only one admiring Beck’s bod. Paris Hilton thinks he is the only man on earth who should don tiny swim shorts. She said, “Unless you’re David Beckham, do not wear Speedos.”

Advice many many blokes really ought to heed. Please.

Well, maybe not in person, but Barbara Walters brought her up. Seems Brit’s pal Sam Lufti called Wa-Wa to dish about his friend.

Barbara recalled part of her conversation with Sam, “She’s (Britney) been to a psychiatrist. She, I assume, is starting some kind of treatment.” According to Sam, Britney Spears has been suffering from mood swings and an inability to sleep. However, she is back in contact with her mother after some time estranged.

Whoopi probably said it best, “I think this girl has worked and worked and worked - and she is burnt out.”

If God had a sense of humor, I’m sure that Britney Spears’ next boyfriend would turn out to be Larry Birkhead. In Touch magazine actually has a quote from Dannielynn’s papa saying “I think Britney is sexy.” Is it Britney or her money that’s sexy?A source close to Larry also adds that “He’s trying hard to get fixed up with Britney. Larry has a thing for vulnerable blondes — and no one seems more vulnerable than Britney these days. Larry wants to find someone who already has kids so they can raise their families together, just like the Brady Bunch.”

Well, there’s one less awards show and one less red carpet. People has announced that they are going to try a different format in light of the events surrounding the writer’s strike.

They will instead use a “magazine” format. They are going to have winners present acceptance speeches on video instead of live at the podium. They will also answer questions sent in by fans via email.

People chose to use the opportunity presented by the strike to launch this new format. Depending on popularity, it could become an ongoing thing.

Well, if I can’t was Sally Jesse Raphel before the show, ragging the celebs, forget it!

Or so it seems…..

Maybe the pretty princess really DOES care about people besides herself. At least she seemed to be doing just that during a freak accident at a Miami nightclub.

Here’s the scoop - Paris Hilton was partying at Cameo in Miami. A crowd rushed the stage suddenly, trampling and injuring a nightclub entertainer who was dressed as one of the Oompa-Loomps characters from the “Willie Wonka” movies. The performer, Robin Sherwood, ended up with a very bad cut to the leg.

Paris actually knew him - she had worked with him in the past and had actually tried to help him fight to receive a needed kidney transplant. When she realized he was hurt, the heiress hurried to Sherwood’s side and stayed there until emergency personnel arrived to care for him.

One source says, “Paris was great. She was there until he was turned over to the medical technicians.”

Wow - I, for one, am stunned. Next thing we know, she’ll be battling Brangelina for “Humanitarian of the Year”.

Well it may have been his first knockout but Ricky Hatton really was seeing stars after his defeat against Floyd Mayweather this weekend. Hollywood superstar Angelina Jolie went back to the dressing room after the fight to make sure that Ricky suffered no lasting damage.

Well I know it was a career breaking moment, but I bet Ricky was dead chuffed. Especially being as Angelina was accompanied by Brad Pitt.

The couple sat less than 20ft away from the spot where brave Brit Ricky was knocked out in the tenth round. It was the first boxing match Angelina had seen up close and she visibly grimaced when he went down.

Ricky vows he will return; saying, “Mayweather was better than I thought. Sorry, everybody, it wasn’t my night, but I will be back.”

Maybe she’s decided to sell off some of her things on Ebay to pay for the lighter she snatched. Or maybe someone else is just out to makesome money off of her. Either way…

one thing is for sure, Britney Spears’ merchandise SELLS! So what if everyone thinks she’s looney - she can still pack in some dough, even if not from album sales.

So you got a dollar bill with her face on it? That’ll bring you $3.99. Last year, someone sold a half-eaten egg salad sandwich of Britney’s and a corndob nibbled on by then-husband K-Fed for a crazy $520. After she shaved her head, locks of her hair were bid up to over $1000.

Ebay pop culture expert Karen Bard says, “What American buy and sell every day is one of the best indications of what they’re obsessed with. When someone or something is being written about in tabloids or reported about on CNN, if it revs up the American public, you’re bound to discover a bidding frenzy for related listings on eBay.”

Just goes to show ya - even if the news is ugly, it’s still news and you’re still in the papers!

Is there no end to the saga that began when photos of Jennifer Love Hewitt’s flabby backside surfaced on the internet? She issued her rebuttal to the unkind remarks by writing in her blog on her website. I thought that would be the end of it, but no…now other celebs are coming out of the woodwork in her defense.

People magazine features a story in their Friday issue that talks about the issues behind the whole fiasco. In this story, they share comments from several female celebrities.

Model Petra Nemcova says, “There are different angles that everybody, even if you’re in great shae, can look bad in a photograph. And printing these images is definitely influencing people’s minds - the stars themselves, but also the people who are reading and looking at the images, the teenagers. It’s definitely good that she spoke out.”

Rosario Dawson commented, “We’re not really in the Twiggy era anymore. It makes me really nervous, because I don’t know how in the world we’re supposed to be that thin unless we’re totally starving or drugging up.”

Hewitt is trying to simply get on with her life. she went on a trip to Disneyland this week with her fiance Ross McCall and some friends.

Beyonce, the artist with too many slashes between job descriptions to mention, showed up in a green Zac Posen Resort at ‘Movies Rock: A Celebration of Music in Film’ which was held at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood on Sunday. And yes, she did her trademark pose of showing her armpits.

The noted singer and actress made a costume change into an Elie Saab dress some time during the show for her performance She performed a rousing rendition of ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow’ from The Wizard of Oz.

The show will air on Friday, December 7 at 9PM ET/PT on CBS.

Paris Hilton has apparently caught the baby bug. She’s dreaming of a child who can grow up to be best friends with Nicole Richie’s soon-to-be-here baby.

She tells People, “Nicole and I have been playing together since we were two years old. I was just telling her, ‘I want a baby so that our babies can play together.’”

Problem is – she doesn’t even have a boyfriend right now! Although, with stars going to other countries and bringing back swarms of children, it may just be easier to do than she thinks. All she needs is a visa and enough money to bribe a small country – oh wait, she has that already doesn’t she?

I’m sorry, but I’m having enough time seeing Nicole as a mommy – can you actually see party-girl Paris settling down? Well, chances are, she’ll beat out Britney for “Mom of the Year”.
