Nicole Ritchie, who recently gave birth to daughter Harlow Winter Kate Madden with Joel Madden, was seen partying throughout the entire Grammy weekend. Where was Harlow Winter Kate Madden, and why does she have so many names? I find it interesting that all of these “celebutantes” have been having children and then these prodigies are suddenly missing from the picture. I do not have any problems with these young mommies hiring nannies to help with the children, but these mothers and fathers should play a role in their children’s lives. While Britney Spears was still allowed to be with her children, there were more pictures of her sons with the nanny rather than Britney.
Let’s return to Nicole Ritchie. She is known for having stints in rehab for a heroin addiction, maintaining an eating disorder, as well as having a feud with former best friend Paris Hilton. (Are they or are they not friends again? Was it a publicity stunt? We may never know the truth.) After the news of her pregnancy with boyfriend Joel Madden spread, Nicole’s image became somewhat more wholesome as she put on weight and kept a low profile throughout the pregnancy. She and Joel even donated all of the things from their baby shower to charity and made appearances at other charity events. I was just beginning to take Nicole seriously as a mother, but she may want to tone down her partying again so that people don’t associate her mothering skills to those of Britney Spears.
