Former party gal Nicole Richie and boyfriend Joel Madden, of Good Charlotte fame, are now all about the diaper genie, according to Life & Style's "At Home with Nicole and Joel" cover. Those teased "Exclusive Wedding Photos" aren't pics of Joel and Nicole's wedding, but of his band mate Billy Martin and hairstylist Linzi Williamson.

Being married to Tom CruiseYou get nice shoes though
Meanwhile In Touch decides that Brad Pitt and knocked-up-again Angelina Jolie are going to get married on a $200 million yacht because oldest kid Maddox keeps getting picked on at his French day-school because his mommy and daddy are living in sin. Somehow a photo box of Angie's returning curves also plays into the story.
Hitched, their own way, natch
Writing vows, just fam and friends
Glad the tits are back
