Lionel Richie says his daughter Nicole does not need to apologize for her bad behavior. The singer believes his adopted daughter - who will stand trial on Wednesday as a result of her arrest for DUI (driving under the influence) last December - is just acting like any typical 25-year-old.

He said in an interview with the USA Today newspaper: "She keeps apologizing to me. I told her, 'You're doing exactly what you're supposed to be doing to your father at this age.'"

Nicole Richie's pregnancy has been confirmed. 'The Simple Life' star is expecting her first child with Good Charlotte rocker Joel Madden and the couple are also said to be planning to marry this summer.

Rumors about the 25-year-old's pregnancy have been circulating for months, but gossip website TMZ.com claim they have independently confirmed the news.

Eva Longoria and fiance Tony Parker have enjoyed a romantic weekend in New York. The couple, who are set to marry at French castle Chateau Vaux-le-Vicomte on July 7, took a break from last-minute wedding preparations to watch the acclaimed Broadway musical "Wicked" and have an intimate meal on Saturday.

Eva also managed to pick up some gifts at toy store FAO Schwarz and visit stylist Robert Verdi for a final wedding-dress fitting. The 32-year-old brunette recently revealed she can't wait to show off her stunning bridal gown.

Nicole Richie has further fuelled pregnancy rumors by abstaining from alcohol at a showbiz party. The 26-year-old - who allegedly received test results confirming she is pregnant two weeks ago - attended the Yves Saint Laurent Centre Dance Arts party at the Beverly Hills Hotel with boyfriend Joel Madden on Thursday night.

A source told the New York Daily News newspaper: "Nicole had everyone whispering when she declined alcohol."

Nicole Richie insists she and Paris Hilton would rather watch TV than party. "The Simple Life" stars are renowned for their wild partying but the 26-year-old said they actually prefer quiet nights in.

Nicole told Harper's Bazaar magazine: "We are both, believe it or not, homebodies.

Nicole Richie fancies men who look homeless. "The Simple Life" star, who is dating Good Charlotte frontman Joel Madden, says the rocker fits her ideal 'type' of man.

Nicole told Harper's Bazaar magazine: "I like really pale, I like really skinny, I like people that kind of look homeless. Back in the day it would have been David Bowie or Jimi Hendrix."
