As Nicole Richie's DUI court date looms closer, the star is dropping more hints that she is pregnant.

Neither Nicole or her boyfriend Joel Madden are denying reports that she is pregnant - maybe they are hoping that her tiny frame will do that - and the starlet is frequently being pictured covering her not-so-flat stomach.

The super-skinny starlet has been pictured on numerous occasions sporting a noticeable bump where her concave stomach once was. However, since she has not commented on the body change, it could be from a number of reasons - being pregnant, eating a full meal, or malnutrition.

Nicole is obviously aware of the bump. She has been pictured walking through LAX airport doing the celeb-favorite move of covering her talked about abdomen with a pillow.

24Sizzler.com is reporting that Joel plans to make an honest woman out of Nicole and marry her. The socialite has reportedly been preparing for the event by wedding dress shopping.

A source told the gossip site, "She's shopping around for a wedding dress. She's calling around looking for a dress, and asking stylists for help."

Nicole and Joel have been dating since late 2006.
