B&C Kudos of the Week


For reals. These idiots are making me proud. First they donate all the baby shower gifts they got and then they go and do something like this. If they name their kid a normal name, they may become the new Brangelina Family in my heart.
Not many kids have a foundation launched in their honor before they're born. But that will be one of the many privileges bestowed upon Nicole Richie and Joel Madden's baby, due in January.

The couple hosted a surprise baby shower Monday for 100 expectant and new moms at the Los Angeles Free Clinic in Hollywood, where they handed out more than $200,000 worth of gifts. "The looks on their faces were priceless," Richie told reporters after the shower. "Some of them didn't even believe us [when they saw the gifts]. They thought we were joking."

The Richie Madden Children's Foundation (at richiemaddenfoundation.com), Madden said, was an idea the couple had when they found out they were expecting. "We grew up in Los Angeles," he said, "and we want our child to be a part of the community, and to know that there's a responsibility to help the community."

That's what I thought too. I hate when people are posers and say they're so L.A. when really they went to Catholic boarding school in Canada.
