Singing soul legend Lionel Richie wants his pop superstar friends, who include Tina Turner and Rihanna, to perform at the upcoming wedding of his daughter Nicole and Good Charlotte rocker Joel Madden.
Nicole, 28, and Good Charlotte rocker Joel, 31 — who announced their engagement in January — have two children together and have already started planning a wedding ceremony for later this year. The “Easy” star is planning to invite a host of musicians to the nupitals. Among those expected to attend are Tina Turner, Rihanna, 50 Cent, and Leona Lewis. Lionel also intends to serenade the newlyweds himself.
“All of the biggest names in music are getting an invite. Lionel is asking some to sing. He wants the reception to be a big concert,” a tipster told Britain’s Heat Magazine this week.
Nicole Richie designed her own engagement ring.
After three years and two children, the socialite revealed her engagement to Good Charlotte rocker Joel Madden during an appearance on CBS’ Late Show With David Letterman this week. Wedding plans have been in the works for months and Nicole worked with renowned celebrity jeweler Neil Lane on the band, which is accentuated flawless four carat, round diamond. Lane has created pieces for a host of stars, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Madonna, Nicole Kidman, and Charlize Theron, but was smitten with the way Joel allowed his bride-to-be to have complete control over the design.
“We designed it together. Nicole was lovely and wonderful to work with on it! She wanted a beautiful, special ring and wanted to be intimately involved in the design,” Lane told PEOPLE Magazine on Wednesday. “Joel just wanted her to have her dream ring.”
Joel and Nicole are expected to wed this summer.
After three years and two babies, Nicole Richie and her rock star boyfriend Joel Madden are finally ready to take the plunge. The socialite-turned-designer spilled the beans on their engagement during a taping of the Late Show with David Letterman that will air this Friday.
And now that Joel and Nicole are making their love official, the bride’s famous dad can’t wait to escort her down the aisle.
“My happiness for Nicole and Joel knows no boundaries,” 60-year-old R&B legend Lionel Richie said Tuesday. “They have given me two beautiful grandchildren, Harlow and Sparrow, and have proven to be great parents. I am not sure who is luckier, Nicole and Joel to have each other, or me, to have both of them in my life. I cannot wait to give away the bride!”

The former reality starlet and Hollywood socialite reportedly announced news of her upcoming wedding to the Good Charlotte rocker during an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman on Monday night, according to E! News.
“Yep. I’m engaged. Very happy. Yeah we’ve been engaged for a while so you’re all kind of late on that. But, thanks for the hoopla all the same,” Joel said in a post to his Twitter page on Monday. He has since removed the message.
