• Wow look at that rack, I wonder if she is ready for another.

  By anonymous, on February 19, 2008 13:37:24

• I guess she is the answer to that BI from last week in the gatecrasher column. The novelty of the baby has worn off mighty quick.

  By anonymous, on February 19, 2008 13:41:11

• So she has a baby and is confined to staying home 24/7??
  
  If I had a nanny you can bet your ass I too would be going out with my husband. Where is the shame in that??

• People who require nannies should not have children.

  By anonymous, on February 19, 2008 13:43:49

• I don't know, maybe she had a babysitter? Just thinking out loud here...maybe this isn't a big deal?

  By anonymous, on February 19, 2008 13:46:41

• people who say that "people who require nannies should not have children" should shut the hell up.
  
  you clearly aren't living in reality if you think that every set of parents in the world doesn't either (a) work or (b) need time off from the kids.
  
  I'm sorry but stay at home moms are quite often the most insane people I know...all because they've convinced themselves that day care is the devil.

  By anonymous, on February 19, 2008 13:47:23

• 13:42:56, I would agree with you but the baby is barely a month old. She is out non-stop, that is not being a responsible parent.

  By anonymous, on February 19, 2008 13:49:19

• Having children should not mean you are tied to your home for the first 3 months. They can afford the best in child care - go for it!

  By anonymous, on February 19, 2008 13:49:30

• This lawbreaking drug addict jailbird and her douche boyfriend shouldn't be having babies anyway. I'm not surprised they aren't responsible parents. They left their newborn so they could hang out with Lindsay Lohan and some of you are defending them???? I hope you who are defending them don't have kids of your own.

  By anonymous, on February 19, 2008 13:52:54

• I think the winner is the kid here. Who would want to have those two freaks at home all the time? I get scared just looking at them, and I'm a grown man!

  By Kakleeboo, on February 19, 2008 13:53:38

• If you need full time daycare or nannies then you don't need to be a parent. Wait until you're financially stable enough so one of the parents can stay home with the children. There's nothing wrong with traditional values and choosing against other people raising your children for you. If you MUST have kids when you can't care for them on your own then you're just making selfish decisions, you're not doing what's right and best FOR THE CHILD.

  By anonymous, on February 19, 2008 13:56:00

• Let's all focus on how ugly Nicole Richie is instead of fighting about nannies. Nicole Richie is really really ugly.

  By anonymous, on February 19, 2008 14:00:20

• There's a difference between getting a sitter once in a while to have a date with your husband, but according to all the stories about these people lately they're never home and the nanny takes care of the baby full-time. Everyone knew they'd be shitty parents anyway.

  By anonymous, on February 19, 2008 14:04:01

• As a Nanny, I can say I see nothing wrong with needing some help. But if you are going to go out night after night, especially when it is your FIRST child, and only a month old, I don't see much of a bond there.
  
  They are bored already- wow, what a shocker.

  By anonymous, on February 19, 2008 14:04:52

• Rich and famous moms are so great. They have the kid cut out of their stomachs before they get too big, then they stick them right on a bottle of formula instead of breastfeeding, and let the nannies do all the rest of the work while they get back to partying. Keep it classy, Hollywood!!

  By anonymous, on February 19, 2008 14:09:45

• hahahahahha, I'm liking the last comment (rich and famous moms are so great) b/c that's about how I feel about these "celebs". About as worthless has a hairy bush!

• My XBox 360 is a great nanny. XBox Live, even better.
  
  Throw in the number for KFC delivery and they're good 'til they're eighteen.

• Anyone giving opinions on this matter that doesn't have kids is probably not qualified to speak on the subject.

  By anonymous, on February 19, 2008 15:17:34

• My husband and I sacrificed a lot so I could quit my job and stay home with our kids. While I'm not judging anyone else, I would recommend other parents do it if they can. Those babies are only young and sweet for a very short amount of time. Try not to miss it. :)

  Don't forget the television and super absorbant diapers. Those are good babysitters too.

• Hey 15:34:32, were you there? When you finally learn what you're talking about, then you can contribute something remotely helpful to society.

  By anonymous, on February 19, 2008 15:38:41

• I personally can't stand Nicole Richie or her douche sperm donor, but if they went out over two weekends in a month, that doesn't make them bad parents.
  
  They're in showbiz, it was Grammy weekend, part of their "job" is being seen out and about.
  
  If she stayed home and drank and smoked crack, would you assume she was a good mother just because she never went out?
  
  Oh, and multiple births existed before fertility drugs.

  By Hyperbole, on February 19, 2008 15:47:23

• She served a jail sentence while she was pregnant and has a long history of drug abuse and getting in trouble with the law, so her being a good parent was not in the cards.

  By anonymous, on February 19, 2008 15:50:18

• i can't believe someone used having triplets as an excuse. yeah like multiple births were so common before people started stabbing their asses with fertility drugs. fuck off.

  By anonymous, on February 19, 2008 15:54:31

• Why is this girl famous?

  By anonymous, on February 19, 2008 15:56:10

• I remember Nichole criticizing her parents for not being there for her growing up. She said that they'd periocically reprimand her for behavior and her reaction to that was "who are you to tell me what to do? I'll do what I want" (I'm paraphrasing, not quoting but that was the gist). So, I see a pattern here. I wonder if Nichole will see the pattern when her kid tells her to fuck off one day.

  By anonymous, on February 19, 2008 16:00:23

• they are probably going to be crappy parents. this is probably the BEST thing they will do as parents is go out and leave her with stable people.
  
  when we see a little girl pushing away veggies because they will make her fat and getting her nose pierced at age 5 then we'll just have more to talk about.
  
  SERIOUSLY regarding the nanny issue? Just keep your opinions to yourself. If I hear one more sanctimonious stay at home mom tell me about everything she "sacrificed" i'm going to slash the tires on the next vehicle I see with a soccer sticker in the back window.
  
  All I know is different strokes work for different folks. You ain't got no right to judge a parent because they work/don't work.

  By anonymous, on February 19, 2008 16:03:40

• Nah, no television. It'd rot their little craniums. But super absorbent diapers? They sound like fun. Have to get me some of those.
  
  Thanks, loser!
  
  

  By Vigilante, on February 19, 2008 17:04:44

• @ 16:03: You took the least "sanctimonious" reply and got offended by it. Don't be so hateful because you feel so guilty.

  By anonymous, on February 19, 2008 17:09:46

• No offense to the (apparently high numbers of) parents commenting, but, um, shouldn't you maybe have grown out of celebrity blogs by now? Isn't there something inherently hypocritical in judging parenting styles of others while you yourselves are in front of a screen? (i.e. NOT with your children OR working hard at the job that means you need a nanny.)
  
  And just to be clear, I'm not defending the two celebrity douchebags this article is about. They suck. That is all.

  By anonymous, on February 19, 2008 18:08:06

• If you are going to hire a full time nanny, you shouldn't have become a parent. Period. It's YOUR job. Triplets, twins, whatever, yes, when they are young I understand. But we're talking about Nicole Richie here folks. I went out when my son was a month old, of course it's OK. But this is excess, and she can do it because she pushes the baby off on the nanny. Period. And she'll keep doing it.

  By anonymous, on February 19, 2008 18:24:19

• Women who squirt out little crumb crunchers only to pawn them off to some nanny in lieu of "partying" should have considered abortion. Sorry, some things in life involve sacrifice, and having a child is one of those things. When someone makes the decision to have a kid, they can not reasonably expect to live the same lifestyle they were living before they brought the little brat into the world. If you're gonna have kids, take care of them.

  By anonymous, on February 19, 2008 18:31:32

• Those mothers that just have babies and are already sick of them are fucking unfit mothers and sluts and should be ripped apart and thrown down the sewage pipe. Nicole's baby was her ticket out of jail so I'm not surprised she doesn't want to spend time with it when the baby needs her slutty mother the most.

  By anonymous, on February 19, 2008 18:51:29

• I read a blind item about a celebtard who had just had a baby, and was already bored with her "new accessory". Gee, I wonder who THAT could possibly be? Ugh, why was this worthless bitch allowed to breed? I bet that poor child isn't even Madden's. I wouldn't put it past Nasty Nicole. Wait 20 years, and this brat will be a MILLION times more spoiled, worthless, skanky, cracked-out, and stupid than it's mother. It'll probably be as ugly as it's father...that is, IF he's even the father, which I seriously doubt. Good going Nicole!

  By anonymous, on February 19, 2008 18:52:17

• Haha, sorry anonymous 13:41:11, you already beat me to the blind item!
  
  Oh, and I agree with you 18:31:32. This poor kid would have been better off not even being born. Can you imagine having this spoiled worthless coont as a mother? Yuck. Poor kid.

  Having children should not mean you are tied to your home for the first 3 months... go for it!
  
  If you're a first-time mother and already feel that you're "tied to your home" after 3 months of having a baby, then you're a selfish, pathetic, worthless cunt and you should be forcibly sterilized and deprived of your child. Fertility was wasted on you, and we can only hope that that baby of yours that you're so bored of grows up knowing exactly how little you care about him. With any luck, he'll kill you quickly instead of going all Ed Gein on you and peeling your face off while you're still alive. I can only hope that he's cornholing your still-warm, beheaded corpse as he mutters "go for it! go for it! go for it!" and fills your bunghole with his barbaric, blashpemous baby batter.

• If I had a nanny you can bet your ass I too would be going out with my husband. Where is the shame in that??
  
  By janey, on February 19, 2008 13:42:56
  
  Well, "janey" the shame in that is you are selfishly putting your own needs to go out with your husband ahead of the needs of your newborn baby. The first months of a baby's life are when he needs his mother the most, you selfish cunt. You agreed to put your life on hold for the next 18 years the moment you decided to bear a child. DIAF.

• Calm down everybody and take a Valium for Christs sake.

  By anonymous, on February 19, 2008 23:19:44

• What do you expect? This self centered twat & her douche sperm donor are losers. Richie is still friends with pearASS SMELLton, who treats pets (living beings) as though they're fashion accessories. This stupid twat treats her kid like it's a problem, ie - something that must be dealt with, not a child that needs to be cherished. Personally, I think she got pregnant by accident, and was too stupid to get an abortion. Too bad her birth father didn't do the same thing when it came to her...

  By anonymous, on February 20, 2008 00:55:14

• No wonder kids are so fucked up lately. Whatever happened to responsible parenting? Blowing your load inside and then dropping them out of your snatch nine months later does not equal being parents. Raise your children. A nanny won't do it for you.
  
  Anyway, enjoy your nights out while your kids call the nanny "mommy" and become goths or whatever 12 years later.

  By Pastor Pastrami, on February 20, 2008 01:37:00

• Wow, some strong opinions here. Maybe they just need a break from the baby. Having said that, I think it is a weird new trend in Hollywood to have babies so young. It is strange that she was such a hardcore partier, and all of a sudden is trying to act so responsible. I don't buy it.

  By anonymous, on February 20, 2008 04:15:38

• 19:27:19 - Jesus, I hope you never have kids. Fucking freak.

  By anonymous, on February 20, 2008 08:19:37

• Good mom's come and go, but what are we expecting here w/ these two? Yes back on the subject, who are Nicole Richie's biological parents anyway? WTF is she???

  By anonymous, on February 20, 2008 10:38:13

• I think they dated like 2 months before she got pregnant. That relationship will never last, it was a rebound for both anyway. Lord help us all if Paris procreates. She already kills her dogs according to Ted C.

  By anonymous, on February 20, 2008 11:27:36

• oye. I have three kids. My son was almost three weeks old before I had the nerve to leave him for the first time. I lasted forty minutes, and that was after my mil got sick of me calling over and over to see if he was OK and told me to just come home!
  
  Now my kids are eight five and three and I would kill to have a nanny so I could go out for a night on the town with my hubs.
  
  Think Nicole will loan hers to me?

  By aerobella, on February 20, 2008 12:58:17

• All parents need a break, even in the first month but going out all night for several nights in a row isn't a "break" it's a "bender" and I am not surprised at all.
  

  By Jen, on February 20, 2008 13:22:59

• Now that the ever-scrutinized/overly publicized 'bump' is in the past and the kid is actually here, did you really think they'd be parents of the year?
  
  The pregnancy was a PR ploy as it is with most of Hollywood (generally used in order to promote upcoming films), nothing more.

  By anonymous, on February 20, 2008 13:40:44

• You people all sound so ignorant, no wonder why kids today have no type of morals, values or manners. SCARY!

  By anonymous, on February 20, 2008 13:51:07

• 13:51, that's a pretty bold statement.

  By anonymous, on February 20, 2008 14:19:26

• I know I am too selfish to have kids, so guess what? I'M NEVER GOING TO HAVE ANY! I know i wouldn't be a good parent, I know I would likely resent the child for taking up my time and tying me to my house and "Mommyhood", so that's why I'm not procreating. I wish more people that are like me would just do the world a favor and NOT breed. Children are NOT accessories, they are not little toys that you can play with, then dump off on someone else once you get tired of them. They require LOADS of time, attention, love, money, and effort, and if you are not willing to do those things, you shouldn't have kids. Why is that so hard for some people to understand? If you are ditching your kid for multiple nights on end, to go party, then you are a shitty parent. Sorry if you don't like that, but the truth isn't always sunshiny and nice.
  
  Also, did anyone actually think that someone as spoiled, selfish, skanky, and worthless as Nicole would actually be a good parent? She was raised as a spoiled little brat that always got her way. She was never taught to think of others, or put the needs or feelings of others ahead of her own, so what did anyone expect? HER feelings, wants, and desires come first, even over a poor little baby. She only had that kid for publicity, and I doubt it's even Douche Madden's. He's just the stupid sucker who took the words of a trashy whore at face value, instead of demanding a paternity test, so now he's stuck with a kid that likely isn't even his. What a worthless pair, and what pitiful, despicable excuses for parents. That poor, poor child...she has NO CHANCE at growing up to be anything but Nicole Ritchie Jr. Not like we need another spoiled, worthless, ugly, stupid whore running around...too bad Nicole was too stupid to use birth control.

  Unfortunately the kid is going to be as big a shitbag as 'mom' and 'dad'.

  By anonymous, on February 20, 2008 16:04:23

• She had that kid for 2 reasons - PR & as a get out of jail free card. The nanny will be her kid's mommy.

• I absolute agree with both Antny Saunders Levey, and anonymous on February 20, 2008 15:33:00 and I hope (for the love of humanity!) that there are more people with your intelligent state of mind.
  
  If the majority of you think otherwise...In the future, your children will become adults who did not form positive emotional attachments to their parents and later on will have major difficulties in forming healthy relationships with other people)Some of you should read about the developmental psychology of children, and then figure out whether your children are benefiting from your lifestyle. If you're having kids, you should be sacrificing for them and not the other way around..and if you can't agree with that..don't complain about how they turn out or as anonymous mentioned, DON'T HAVE KIDS -
  A smarter choice - BUY A DOG

• You dumb cunts apparently have no idea of what it is like to be a parent. Judge not till you pop one out yourself. I hope you have heard the quote "It takes a village". That is because you cannot do everything yourself. Having an infant myself I understand the insanity of trying to do it all ... and with no family anywhere remotely close by. Not everyone lives in situations where they can afford to be stay at home moms and not everyone is suited for that. It doesn't mean you can't get some help from somewhere (grandmothers, nannies, baby sitters) and not be a good parent. You also have the right to go out and do the most important thing, have fun and enjoy the life you have together as a couple. Maintaining your identity is no crime. It isn't like they are being photographed doing rails of blow off the bar, totally trashed nightly and sleeping all day while ignoring their baby .... I'd also like to add that infants sleep like 16 hours a day. You are insane if you think you need to be there every moment of that. So piss off if you have a problem.
  
  BTW ... someone commented about being too old to read gossip sites ... I bet your ass half the folks who write the blogs you read (like this one)aren't 20! Some of here aren't in their Senior year.

• If partying is your #1 priority then consider using a pill dumb slut. Don't make an innocent baby pay for your irresponsible dick hungry ways.

  By anonymous, on February 20, 2008 18:55:02

• Bull in the Heather, your comment chafes me. Raise your own fucking kids. No one else wants to do your work (unless you pay them and even then they still don't really want to they just need the money.) I say this as a sibling to an irresponsible young mother who "popped them out" and guess what I do all weekend while she works because she can't afford a nanny? It doesn't take a village to raise your kids, it takes financial planning, responsibility, and organization. And just because an infant sleeps 16 hours daily doesn't mean you should go out EVERY NIGHT. Richie and inkboy probably are doing blow off the bar. I hope not, even though she doesn't make the three hour feedings, her jugs are still huge. I hope she's not feeding smack to her poor kid.
  
  And to all of you "home mommy" vs. "work mommy" people? Most people in the third world do some type of work AND raise their kids both of you STFU.

  By Kerriann, on February 21, 2008 12:33:30

• Last time I checked, she doesn't have a "day" job, so she is probably home all day with her child. If she has the ability to go out and relax, good for her! I have a 4 year old and one on the way and I plan on going out as soon as possible after this one. Having a child or children doesn't mean that one has to be committed to their home 24/7. If mom isn't happy, baby and hubby aren't happy. To all of you who said shame on her or said she shouldn't go out, do you have children of your own? Do you know what it is like to be stuck in the house all freaking day with a baby stuck on your boob????? Maybe you should live a day in her shoes before judging!

  By anonymous, on February 22, 2008 16:40:13

• Please don't have kids unless you can take care of them yourselves. Day care companies and nannies cannot give your babies what they need, and they need their parents.

  By anonymous, on February 23, 2008 00:21:12

• It's sad that so many people feel they "need a break" from their kids within weeks of giving birth to them. You want to break the bond with your children before you've even had the chance to bond with them?
