Joel Madden and Lindsay Lohan got cozy at the Hornitos' Cinco de Mayo party last night. Interestingly, Joel's girlfriend Nicole Richie -- who is of Mexican descent (her birth name is Nicole Escovedo) -- was not at the event.
Someone better run for the border.

Nicole Richie flaunted her momma-bod at her baby daddy's event last night -- finally ditching that rail-thin look for something a bit more human. 
The entire Richie/Madden/Hilton combo pack was in attendance -- plus a couple extra semi-stars to help take the attention away from whatever it was the Madden boys were selling.

Paris Hilton and Benji Madden are officially a thing, meaning if all goes well, Paris and Nicole Richie could be ... sister-in-laws. And you thought the Manson family was scary.
TMZ has confirmed that the Good Charlotte member not named Joel is now officially dating La Hilton. The two were out last night at Home Nightclub in St. Louis (yes, Missouri), where Benji DJ'ed and Paris did what she does best – danced!
Sources close to the situation tell TMZ, "They are dating for sure," and that they actually met a while back but were in other relationships at the time. "It was all about the timing," we're told.

Perhaps it's some newfangled baby-mama thing, but we caught up with Nicole Richie at the Grove in L.A., and she was wearing dark shades .. at night. Perilous, at best.
Elsewhere in L.A, Quentin Tarantino hit up a party at Chateau Marmont in his yellow pimpmobile full of ladies, and we caught Harvey Weinstein leaving the same event ... and he isn't shy about how he felt about the bash!
In New York, Bennifer shops with their baby girl Violet and Queen Latifah's security does their best strong-arm.

The National Limousine Association is coming to aid of not-so-bright celebudorks who decide they have to drive after they've been drinking -- urging them to GET A RIDE!
TMZ has obtained an open letter sent to celebrity handlers and publicists, including reps for Britney, Lindsay and Paris, explaining that the NLA has more than 2,300 members -- and that finding a limo or town car over the holidays is not exactly rocket science. Plus, it reminds them that the fee for even a stretch limo is still far less than "DUI fees." Amen and hallelujah!
Remember, people: If you're tipsy, don't drive. And remember to tip your drivers!

As lead singer of the band Good Charlotte, Joel Madden is a rock star. So why would he need a video game to pretend?
TMZ photogs spotted Joel and his pregnant girlfriend, Nicole Richie, shopping at the Virgin Megastore in Los Angeles yesterday. Joel was carrying a copy of the game, "Guitar Hero." Rock on!

The preggo and pretty Nicole Richie was spotted leaving Il Sole, and she was in a suprisingly good mood
The blonde mom-to-be was silent as she walked to her ride, but did flash a rare smile for photogs -- it was a strange sight to see, as Richie is usually stoic around paps. But seeing as she's climbing up the pregnancy ladder, maybe she's just practicing some maternal patience!

A report surfaced yesterday saying a pregnant Nicole Richie was recently seen smoking outside of two NYC restaurants, but that seems highly unlikely... as she's been out of the country and hasn't been in the Big Apple in months!
As seen in these pics, exclusively obtained by TMZ, Nicole spent the last couple of weeks in Australia and Thailand with her baby daddy, Joel Madden. The couple returned to L.A. directly from Asia on Oct. 26.
TMZ tried to smoke-out NY Post columnist Cindy Adams, who published the inflammatory item, but we were not able to nail down the exact date when Nicole was allegedly spotted lighting up. Cindy's spies are clearly a little slow with the tips, as Nicole hasn't been in NYC since September 5 for Fashion Week -- and that was nearly two months ago!
While Nicole, who is due in January, denies the accusation, her rep told TMZ, "It's frustrating when journalists don't check the facts."
