Nicole Richie Buys New House

Reality-show personality Nicole Richie and her rocker boyfriend Joel Madden have paid $1.9 million for a newly renovated home in the Hollywood Hills, slightly under the asking price.

Last month, Ms. Richie, who starred with Paris Hilton in the reality series “The Simple Life,” bought the contemporary home of about 5,400 square feet on 0.4 acres. The four-bedroom home has five bathrooms and a powder room and features a large living room with vaulted ceilings and a giant skylight, according to the listing. The walled compound also features a cantina-style poolside bar and a guest house.

Ms. Richie, the adopted daughter of singer Lionel Richie, and Mr. Madden, who’s the lead singer of Good Charlotte, are expecting their second child. Deedee Howard of Prudential California Realty represented the couple. Ernie Carswell and Sarah Blanchard of Teles Properties represented the seller.
