Joel Madden was being honored last night at the Nobel Awards for his work with The Art of Elysium. Although he humbly accepted the award, which was presented to him by Nicole Richie and her father, Lionel, he had this to say about it:
“They are just as much a part of it,” he said. “Nicole does just as much as I do with Art of Elysium and all the charities we work with. And so does Benj – Benj actually does more then I do, and he plays the guitar better then I do, so he is a little more entertaining for the kids.”
Joel also discussed his love of kids:
“I love kids, I love working with kids, I love being around kids,” he said at the Noble Awards in Beverly Hills on Sunday.
When asked how Harlow was enjoying being a big sister to new brother Sparrow, Joel said she’s doing great.
“She loves it. She’s so happy, she’s just psyched,” he said. “She totally gets it. It fit in perfectly there – hasn’t been a hitch.”
Awww. There’s something so great about a guy who openly gushes about enjoying charity work with kids and his love of his family.

I can’t resist a guy who brags about his kids! I’m really rooting for these two to go the distance!
so true!
I wish I could like her, but I can’t. Cudos to Joel though.
I can’t believe this classy lady used to be Paris Hilton’s sidekick!
wanna be a super dad huh
I know, right?
first i thought he got the nobel prize. i was like whaat..?
Nicole looks absolutely gorgeous. Can’t believe she had a baby just 6 weeks ago. I looked like death 6 weeks after I had my baby!
I cannot believe she just had a baby!
Man, those “get the look” pop ups are annoying! Is a baseball cap really a fashion statement?
She has grown up so much lately, having the baby really matured her. I love it.. And I am happy for her and joel… Congrats Joel
i like that couple
No kidding! She’s come a long way!
she seems to have changed a lot because of him and her kids. good for her.
I just LOVE these two as a couple, and those Madden boys are wicked hot….
She look great! I love her dress. I’m happy for them.
i like that dress on her
I do too! She looks fantastic.
Nicole looks stunning!!! Is always great to have a fashion inspiration someone that can inspired you to dare and get ideas from. For me that would be Nicole Richie. No one does boho chic like Nicole. And than there is Vanessa Hudgens who’s the perfect example of how to do comfortable,cute and sexy while looking effortless.
nice
nice
Absolutely adore the site, but there are too many typos to swallow here.
When are these two getting married?
Nicole looks amazing
Cute dress. I forgot they just had another child!
