Nicole Richie has been receiving parenting advice from celebrity Super-Mom Angelina Jolie after dad Lionel Richie suggested the twenty-five year old expectant mother take up parenting classes.

‘With Nicole finally getting her life of drugs, booze and wild partying under control, Brad and Angelina have offered her a list of common-sense tips they felt would help,” says an insider close to Angelina.

‘Angelina was especially concerned about the effects Nicole’s years of partying could have on the baby.”

‘And knowing that Nicole has so much hanging over her, including a stressful court-ordered probation after her conviction for driving under the influence, Angelina felt she could use some help from another young mom.’

Nicole told a friend: ‘Angelina is like a surrogate mother – albeit a beautiful one who’s nearer my age. But she has so much experience as a mom. She’s my guardian angel – and so is Brad.’
