I know, I know… Nicole Richie is popping up everywhere- literally! There's just so many pregnancy sightings and so little time. An ever-growing Nic was spotted in New York City on August 17, hand in hand with now alleged fiancée Joel Madden (and wearing color coordinated outfits might I add) looking as stylish as ever. Wearing an empire-waist red dress (Ella Moss' Elizabeth Stud Empire Dress in Mandarin is similar and has an added stud detail, and Plenty by Tracy Reese's Empire Gown in Flame is a floor-length version of Nicole's dress) with Chanel sunglasses and her must-have Christian Louboutins, Nic seemed to be trying to protect her unborn baby from the hustle and bustle by instinctively placing one hand on her belly. Now that the couple are reportedly engaged, according to many sources, it seems that Nicole's daddy, music legend Lionel Richie, has extended his sentiments and purchased the happy couple a $2 million townhouse in Los Angeles' Century City area. The Enquirer is reporting that "Lionel was overjoyed when Nicole told him that she was pregnant, and he’s been searching for the perfect baby gift. Lionel was going to wait and surprise the couple with the home closer to the birth date, but he was so deeply touched by the way Nicole spoke so lovingly of him during the interview (with Diane Sawyer), that he sprang the gift on them just hours after seeing the TV appearance.” So generous! The luxurious 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom home used to belong to "NYPD Blue" star Dennis Franz. When Lionel told Nicole and Joel the good news, "all three of them cried happy tears over the phone. Lionel has vowed that even though he wasn’t around much as a parent, he’s going to be a dynamite granddaddy.” Geez Lionel, you're melting my heart!
