Good Charlotte star Joel Madden has paid tribute to his daughter Harlow as she turns two.
The 30-year-old rocker is dad to Harlow, two, and baby Sparrow, who was born in September, with long-term girlfriend Nicole Richie, 28.
Harlow was born on January 11, 2008, and her proud dad said on Twitter: “Happy Birthday to the most beautiful little girl in the world. Harlow makes me proud every. single. Day. i’m blessed.”
Singer Christina Aguilera’s son Max Liron was born the day after Harlow and will celebrate his second birthday on January 12.
Joel and Benji Madden graced the fashion stakes at the Melbourne Cup in Australia today.
The A-lister twin brothers’ trilby-style hats, sneakers, jackets, T-shirts and low-riding dark jeans appeared on television footage amid the designer tulle, fuss and fragile fascinators.
More like bulls in a china shop, the Maddens got into the spirit, noting the day was all about the costume. Some 100,000 people showed up at Flemington Race Course while the rest of the nation stopped work to watch the $120million stakes from work, couch or the pub.
The Maddens were caught under the marquee saying they noted it was an occasion for a hat. “We noticed the ladies wear a hat and we, for some reason, considered ourselves ladies – so we wore a hat,” they said.
Commenting on a question about their footwear – sneakers without laces – they said their laces were drawn-on. They said: “All the latest fashions for all seasons you’ll see on the Madden brothers.”
Joel, who recently had a baby girl named Harlow with Nicole Richie, noted: “Ill buy my daughter a horse here. Why not? Bring her something home from Australia.”
Benji, meanwhile, said he would take a jockey, to which the pair exploded into laughter.
Good Charlotte frontman Joel Madden was not allowed to board his British Airways flight not because he was showing too much skin but because he was showing too many tattoos. A British Airways manager called Joel Madden’s attention and asked him to cover up his tattoos or be disallowed to board his flight. Joel Madden covered up and was allowed to board but this did not stop his girlfriend Nicole Richie from chiding British Airways through Twitter.
The same British Airways manager is in hot water after airline management denied there was any such rule and reprimanded the manager for the refusal. Management said the employee took it upon himself to enforce the non-existing regulation. Joel Madden, who was on a flight from London, said he was embarrassed by the incident as all people were staring at him. Joel Madden said his tattoos are not offensive and as Nicole Richie said, her boyfriend’s tattoos are spiritual. Joel Maddens aid it is not his style to make a scene or complain but he is definitely not using the airline again.
