Nicole Richie and long-time boyfriend Joel Madden are engaged to be married. Joel, 30, is the lead vocalist of the band Good Charlotte. During a Monday taping of the Late Show with David Letterman, which aires on Friday, February 19th, she revealed her engagement and her custom-made diamond ring, which is estimated to be over four carats. A source told People Magazine, “Nicole wanted a beautiful, special ring and wanted to be intimately involved in the design.”

The couple began dating in 2006 and have been living together. They currently have two children, daughter Harlow, 2, and son Sparrow, 5 months. Lionel Richie, Nicole’s father, can’t wait to walk his daughter Nicole, 28, down the aisle. The legendary singer told People Magazine, “My happiness for Nicole and Joel knows no boundaries. They have given me two beautiful grandchildren, Harlow and Sparrow, and have proven to be great parents.” Lionel recently worked with the couple on “We Are The World: 25 For Haiti,” which he co-wrote and produced. He also co-wrote the original “We Are The World: USA For Africa” collaboration with the late Michael Jackson in 1985.

On October 28, 2009, many celebrities, including Will Smith, Jennifer Lopez, Neil Patrick Harris, Paula Abdul, Katy Perry, Paris Hilton, Adam Lambert, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and Ashley Tisdale attended the premiere screening of Michael Jackson’s posthumous movie, This Is It, at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles, California. Although last week the Jackson family reportedly stated that they will not attend the premiere, all of Michael’s brothers were present and received a standing ovation inside the theater before the film began. Michael’s sisters; his mother Katherine Jackson; Michael’s three children, Prince, Paris and Blanket; nor his father Joe Jackson were present at the premiere in Los Angeles. MJ’s father Joe Jackson actually attended the premiere in Las Vegas.

Michael Jackson’s This Is It movie, which was made by Sony Pictures, was released on October 28, 2009 and is already a big hit! The film already grossed $2 million on the midnight showtimes alone. Many celebrities loved the film and expressed their ecstatic opinions on Twitter. We suggest that a group of celebrities should purchase gorgeous, custom pieces of natural sapphire jewelry from The Natural Sapphire Company to commemorate Michael and place it in the Rock and Rock Hall of Fame at the Michael Jackson Exhibit.
