THE POWER IS IN YOUR HANDS.   Please watch this video to become aware of this horrifying crisis which has been brought to the attention of the Richie Madden Children’s Foundation.    We have been working closely with John Prendergast and learning about this situation in the Congo, but we cannot bring about change alone.

Please, I urge you to take the time to watch the film “The Greatest Silence”  (for info and purchase go to http://thegreatestsilence.org). The crisis in the Congo is fueled by conflict minerals, but I’ve included several steps below that we believe will also help to bring this vicious cycle to an end.  By using our power as consumers and activists, we ALL can make an impact!

1. Join the Movement at www.raisehopeforcongo.org.
2. Text “CONGOPLEDGE” (one word, no spaces) to ACTION (228466) or visitwww.raisehopeforcongo.org/special-page/conflict-minerals to endorse the Conflict Minerals Pledge.
3. Send emails to the industry leaders and ask them to be a leader on this issue by signing the pledge. Visit www.raisehopeforcongo.org/special-page/conflict-mineralsto send your emails now.
4. Call the White House switchboard at 202.456.1414 or write to President Obama atwww.whitehouse.gov and ask him to appoint a special envoy for the Great Lakes region.

Nicole *hearts* The Simpson's

For a few weeks now we've seen tweets from Nicole Richie to Ashlee Simpson-Wentz about Ash's mom, Tina Simpson. In the tweets Nicole raves about Tina, and jokingly pokes fun at "the other girl" Ashlee. By the looks of it, Ashlee's mom, Tina, now has her very own Twitter as well. Let the good times roooollllll!

Apparently the trio got together on Tuesday night and had a girls night in. Nic's tweet that evening said, "With the best mom in the world; & can someone get this weird redhead out of our picture?"

This morning, Wednesday she added, "Had the best night in PJs on the couch w @Tinasimpson. oh & some girl @ashsimpsonwentz. I love girls night xx"

By the looks of it, Ashlee's mom, Tina, now has her very own Twitter as well. Let the good times roooollllll!

Nic Rich - The Next Julia Child

Nicole Richie showcased her baby bump (and fantastic maternity style) while attending a birthday party in West Hollywood. Boyfriend Joel Madden accompanied her, but the couple was without their daughter, Harlow. 

Earlier in the day Nicole posted her new chicken recipe on Twitter for the world to see (www.twitter.com/nicolerichie). It sounds absolutely to DIE FOR! I'm hoping to try my hand at making it this weekend, minus the expensive additives. HA.

Later in the afternoon, Nic tweeted about her love for a certain member of the Simpson family. "One is always prettier, cooler, or more talented. Everyone has a favorite Simpson. & mine just joined Twitter. Yes, I'm talking about Tina."

Ha-ha! So apparently Nicole has some mad love for Mama Simpson. Cool-cool. Who knew?!

Before the day was over she tweeted, "85,000 followers woohoo!! I wish that many people liked me in real life. Only ones that follow me are Harlow and my dogs; I'm on my way!"

Nicole Richie MADDEN????!!!

Monday

Nic Rich caused quite a stir in cyberspace today, posting on her twitter account (www.twitter.com/nicolerichie) that she has a sister-in-law! Nicole's tweet simply said, "My sister-in-law Sarah Evelyn Madden has just joined twitter. Her name is @sarahmadden. Follow her!!" 

So is did Nice & Joel finally get married....secretly? Or is Nic simply stating that she considers Joel's younger sis, Sarah, her sister-in-law? You know, since Nic and Joel already have a daughter and one bun in the oven....the later sunds very plausible.  I'm sure Nicole and Joel already consider themselves to be married, even though legally they aren't.

Nicole's Baby-Bump!

Sunday

It's no secret that Nicole Richie has made a complete turn around in her life. Just a few years ago the girl was coming out of rehab, being tarred and feathered for being far too skinny, and seemingly the epitome of the "blonde" stereotype. 

However, the past is in the past and Nic has literally become the poster child for stylish-young mothers everywhere!

Nicole and her boyfriend Joel Madden, of rock band Good Charlotte are currently expecting their second child in late August/early September. While the couple announced the pregnancy in February, Nicole has not begun to show until recently. On Sunday she was spotted at an office complex in Los Angles proudly displaying her burgeoning baby bump.

Richie and Madden also have a daughter, Harlow, who is 15 months old.
