Okay, I seem to be on a wedding roll… so I will just go with it.  Not my fault!  They all chose this weekend!  Nicole Richie and Joel Madden finally made it down the aisle yesterday at her dad, Lionel Richie’s house.

The very happy couple exchanged Neil Lane rings in front of about 130 guests including Gwen Stefani, Ashlee Simpson, Kris Jenner, Samantha Ronson and Joel’s brother Benji Madden….oh, and an elephant.  Yes.  No joke.  I can’t wait to hear the story behind that one and see the beautiful photos.

Congrats to the very happy couple and family.

Nicole Scherzinger strikes a pose at the 7th Annual Global Green pre-Oscar party at the Avalon in Los Angeles last night.  As you know by now, this Pussycat Doll is going to be on Dancing With The Stars when it premieres March 22! I can not wait.  I think she will do exceptional because she is sexy and knows how to work it, am I right?

Also attending the Global Green party:

• Slash
• Jessica Alba
• Serena Williams
• Melanie Brown
• Benji Madden
• Joel Madden
• James Cameron
• Nia Vardalos
• Hayden Panettiere

I’ve also added pictures of Slash and Hayden Panettiere leaving the Chateau Marmont where there was an Oscar party. Perhaps the Avalon was held at the Chateau Marmont? I don’t know.  I kind of like Hayden with darker hair.  Do you?

Gerard Butler looks deliciously fine as he attends the Artists For Peace and Justice to benefit the Haiti Earthquake tragedy. It’s nice to see the man involved in such a worthwhile cause.

The very gorgeous Sophie Monk can be seen shopping in West Hollywood filming the pilot for her very own reality show entitled ‘Better Than Paris‘. For those of you who aren’t aware, she was engaged to Benji Madden who allegedly left her for Paris Hilton.  Oh snap.

So much for women being supportive of one another, huh?
