Check out the latest reports straight from New York Daily News:

Good Charlotte frontman Joel Madden is having the last laugh over a British Airways employee who made him cover up his tattoos before boarding a flight.

The Airways manager is being reprimanded for refusing to allow Nicole Richie’s main squeeze on a flight from London Saturday due to his inked-up arms, TMZ.com reports.

“We don’t understand why the employee took it upon himself to enforce regulations that don’t exist,” a rep for the airline said.

Madden, 30, repeatedly Twittered about the incident, telling fans, “I was embarrassed all the people were staring and laughing!” He later added, “My tats aren’t offensive. …I haven’t felt this small since the first time I asked Nic out.”

Richie, who also has a bevvy of tattoos, got in the fight, writing on Twitter, “All of [Madden's] tattoos are spiritual. Since when is expressing your love for God & family against what British Airways stands for?”

Madden threatened to write a letter, but later laughed off the incident.

“It really isn’t my style to cause a scene, so ultimately it would be up to me to complain, and I’m not going to file one,” he wrote on Good Charlotte’s Web site on Monday.

“At the end of the day it’s as simple as not using the airline.”

“I have been looking forward to seeing her back on stage for years, and it was amazing.”

“It was really hard to get pictures because she never stood still. I yelled and asked her to, but she was too busy tending to her 50,000 other fans.”

Even four month old pregnant, Nicole Richie still has energy to get into a big plane ride.

The “soon to be” mother of her second child was seen at Los Angeles, LAX International airport on April 20th afternoon to get a plane to Canada.

Out for some fresh air,  Nicole Richie was spotted enjoying the beautiful spring weather on April 19th with a stroll around Hollywood.

The Reality show “The Simple Life” Co-Host was definitely showing off her growing baby bump in a hippie-chic purple printed sundress with a pair of big black sunglasses and flip-flops.

Over the weekend, she also had the privilege of scoring primo tickets to the  Britney Spears concert at the Staples Center in LA.  And she had a marvelous time.

Nicole blogged, “Friday night I went to the Britney Spears concert and had the time of my life.  I have been a huge fan since I was 16 and have been to all of her concerts. I think I went to five shows of her last tour.”

She continued, “I have been looking forward to seeing her back on stage for years, and it was amazing! It was really hard to get pictures because she never stood still.  I yelled and asked her to but she was too busy tending to her 50,000 other fans.”

Nicole Richie has joined the likes of Ben Affleck, Mia Farrow and Emile Hirsch by speaking out about the situation in the African nation of Congo.

The celebutante-turned-celebumom posted a video on her blog, hoping to raise awareness about the sexual crimes being committed in the warring country.

“I’m about to tell you a true story about a place where babies and grandmothers are being raped on a daily basis and the reason they are being raped is directly connected to the purchases of our cell phones, of our laptops and of our iPods,” The star told in the clip.

With longtime pal John Prendergast from The Enough Project, and Kimberly Pinkson, from the EcoMom Alliance, the trio explain that minerals that are found in the Congo are used in the making of electronic products regularly purchased by consumers. They go about naming several products and companies that use the minerals, which Prendergast points out do not have to be bought in Congo, but can be mined in other countries not under crisis.

She goes on to note that rape is being used as a control mechanism, but does not single out the group involved in the crimes.

“The No. 1 weapon out there — it’s not guns, it’s not knives, it is rape,” she says. “They are raping these women and not only is it — I mean it’s not just rape, these women are being raped in front of their husbands, in front of their children… I mean, this stuff is really inhumane. This is the worst thing that I’ve ever heard in my life.”

Nicole and her pals suggest people avoid buying products that include minerals from countries engaged in conflict.

“We are not as ignorant as people think we are. We simply don’t know. And it’s not our fault,” she says. “It is so easy to be just completely distracted and I really am optimistic that if I bring it to my peers attention that they are gonna wanna do the right thing.”
