Nicole Richie's Kevo

Nicole Richie, 26, and Joel Madden, 28, welcomed a baby girl today named Harlow Winter Kate Madden. The baby was born at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and weighed in at 6 lbs. 7 oz.

A representative for the couple told People magazine: "The beautiful healthy baby girl left the hospital with her ecstatic parents."

The couple says they plan to marry in the near future but haven't set a date.

Nicole Richie had a Wizard of Oz themed baby shower this past weekend in Beverly Hills.

People magazine reports that many of the gifts were boy gifts, suggesting Richie is expecting a boy. She has not previously revealed the sex of the baby.

Richie, who is due in January, announced her pregnancy in July. Her boyfriend, Joel Madden, is the father.

Apparently the rumors are true and Nicole Richie, 25, is pregnant.

Richie has been dating Good Charlotte's Joel Madden, 28, for over six months.

There are also reports of a possible summer wedding for the couple, though nothing has been confirmed.

People magazine is reporting that Nicole Richie has gained at least five pounds since seeking treatment a month ago. Here's hoping she continues on the road to a healthier weight.

Richie, who before seeking treatment had dropped to around 90 lbs., hit the American Music Awards last week in a short vintage Christian Dior dress with the help of new style consultant Cristina Ehrlich looking "much healthier," said an onlooker

Nicole Richie's Road to Recovery

After a paparazzo told Nicole Richie she looked disgusting and said she should gain some weight, she confronted him.

"I walked up to the photographer and told him, 'What if I really had anorexia? What if I had a disease? How would you feel about saying such horrible things? He probably just wanted to get a rise out of me, but I'm a human being and he hurt my feelings."

The media is talking about Nicole Richie's weight after some pictures of a recent day she spent on the beach in Malibu appeared.

Only a couple months ago Nicole admitted to Vanity Fair that she was too skinny and it seemed like she gained a bit of weight, saying: "I know I'm too thin right now, so I wouldn't want any young girl looking at me and saying, 'That's what I want to look like.'"

Now it appears she's thinner than ever. Britain's Sky news has a weirdly thorough 65-photo slideshow documenting Ms. Ritchie's weight fluctuations over the past two years.

Nicole Richie's father, Lionel Richie, says he's aware of Nicole's weight issue and that he's talked to her about it. He recently told Vanity Fair magazine that she was getting treatment and told Access Hollywood:

"Of course, I mean, what are fathers for if you can't point the finger every once in awhile ... I think the good part of it is she is aware of it. ... She has heard this all of her life from me, so this just a continuation of the reminder."
