"After Nicole and Joel gave their daughter the inventive name Harlow Winter Kate, there was much anticipation about what they would come up with for their second child – and they didn’t disappoint with their new son’s name, the equally unusual Sparrow James Midnight," Linda says.

With Nicole Richie due with their second child in the coming weeks, attentive papa Joel Madden has managed to dodge a bullet when it comes to extreme pregnancy cravings.
In lieu of the traditional pickles and ice-cream combos demanded by some women, Madden tells PEOPLE's Celebrity Baby Blog that the expectant mama has kept her list short.
Unfortunately, the simple requests come at a high price: While her cravings may be limited to hamburgers from Southern California's In-N-Out chain, the sudden hunger pangs can occur any time – day or night.

Rocker Billy Martin's Pregnant Wife Craves ... Nothing!
Originally posted 11/30/2008 04:15PM
Now settling into the surprising news he's a dad-to-be, Good Charlotte guitarist Billy Martin says he's more than ready to take on those midnight craving runs for wife Linzi.
There's only one problem: she hasn't had any.
"I keep telling my wife, 'Can I go get you something weird?'" says the musician, whose band released its latest Greatest Remixes album Nov. 25. "I want to eat ice cream at 1 o'clock in the morning. [The other] night she saw a commercial for chocolate chip cookies and I was like, 'Please send me to get them.' But she just said, 'We'll get them tomorrow.'"
With the baby's birth just nine weeks away Martin is only getting more excited. "We start Lamaze classes after Thanksgiving and the Alice In Wonderland nursery is ready to go."

Good Charlotte Remixes Their Way to a New Album
Originally posted 10/28/2008 10:55AM
When it comes to Good Charlotte, everything old is new again – at least when their new album is concerned.
Good Charlotte Greatest Remixes calls on their deejay and producer friends to reinvent some of their original songs. Jay-E featuring The Game remixes "Fight Song," while Fall Out Boy's Patrick Stump tries his hand at reinterpreting "Little Things." The album also features Metro Station's cover of "I Don't Want to Be in Love."
There will be some new music as well: the album will also feature the new single "War", which the band says reflects the current political situation. The song has lyrics like, "What about AIDS in Africa? Poverty? If it ain't about us, well I don't know."
The CD will be available Nov 25, but the band has already posted the track list and other information on their celebrity MySpace page.
