New dad Joel Madden has given us another update on his infant daughter, Harlow.

The Good Charlotte rocker just posted the following on his official blog:

"Harlow.

January 23, 2008 at 3:14 pm

She’s already growing to fast! So I am at home writing this blog before i head to the DCMA store, and then the DEAD EXEC studio to work. I swear it’s so hard to leave during the day, but always so rewarding to come home to the little family. I’ve always been a guy who loves to love.Probably one of the things that define me outside of my work is LOVE. I had no idea what love even was until Harlow came along.

Me and her mother feel like the luckiest two people alive right now. This time in our life has been amazing. We both look at our little girl every single moment everyday and know there is nothing we wouldn’t do to protect her and her perfect little innocence. It seems like you turn on the tv, or get online and its all bad news.

We dont want her to know any of that yet. I actually never want her to know any of the pain and suffering we see out in the world everyday, or how harsh people can be as a result of it. Having this baby has really made me realize we all start out that way, then somewhere along the way something happens and people go one way or the other. But all started out sweet and innocent just like my little daughter. The world could really make you bitter if you let it, but thats where music, and art come in to save the day.

You’ve got to surround yourself with the things you love. The whole point to DCMA and this site is a bunch of us friends doing what we love, surrounding ourselves with positivity. I want my kid to grow up around that.

My heart goes out to Heath ledger’s family. Too young. too soon. too loved to be gone. It almost seems pointless to say this with the state of the media today, but i hope people will respect what his child and her mother are going thru right now and give them space. May God be with them.

So this one was especially long today on the writing side, i apologize it all just got me thinking."

    this guy is barely literate. He can hardly string a sentence together.

  35. genius says – reply to this

    His grammar and spelling are similar to that of a FIRST GRADER.
    stupid celebrities.

    how sweet.
    i'm glad they're so happy.
    and i agree with what he said about heath.
    i just lost my father a year ago and i'm 16 and it's still extremely difficult even at my age.
    i hope the media will realize that this is not just another breaking news story. this is a human being who his life. and a family who lost someone they held dear.

    Easily one of the least attractive Hollywood couples.

    Re: genius – Try starting your sentence with a capital letter and then you may be qualified in being critical in his use of the English language.

    wow. that was really so positive and genuinely nice to read. good going. i have new respect for the guy.

    I never thought I'd say this, but Nicole sure is pretty in that picture. Maybe she should always be preggers. I hope they stay together, children deserve a happy whole family.

    He really seems like a good guy. I was surprised that he mentioned Heath Ledger.

  46. Anderson says – reply to this

    He wants to keep his baby away from all that stuff yet he and his babys mama have already made a deal to whore out her first pics to people magazine.

    very well said! i enjoyed reading his post.

    may he and his new family be very happy together.

    The want to protect this child from all the bad stuff on t.v.? I still remember Nicole on the simple life pouring chlorine on a pool table and having a guy kiss her ass not to mention her drug addiction and eating disorder. I think in that case he should keep the child away from Nicole. She contributed to some of the crazy negative stuff others saw on t.v.

    what the fuck," me and her mother", and "i had no idea what love even was until Harlow came along" umm arent they together? sounds like thery really arent in love, and or noe even together, just there for the sake of the baby.

    LOL AT PPL MAKING FUN OF HIS GRAMMAR ————

    UM, HELLO!!!!!! HE IS A ROCK STAR! NOT A ENGLISH TEACHER

    twas a nice blog

    The comments about this bulimic serial DUI offender and her tattoed half-literate flavor of the week are hilarious. "Oh, they're such a cute couple," "What a catch he is," "You can tell he's a caring guy," LMAO, as if any of you actually know what they're really like. I do feel sorry for their kid, who will be gracing these pages with her own antics in fifteen years or so. That would be funny if it weren't so tragic. She doesn't stand a chance with these two for parents. The world would be better off if all these celebrities went the way of Heath Ledger. At least he had the decency not to take anybody with him, unlike this reeling drunk, who put fellow drivers at risk every time she got behind the wheel.

    spoken like a new father,and i don't mean that in a good way,does he really think
    his baby girl is gonna be as sweet and innocent when she's in her twenties,that's life you deal with heartache and disappointment and other things and it wasn't too long ago that Nicole was on heroin herself and flashing her tits at fashion shows,gimme a break!,and when is he gonna post some god damn pictures of the baby!

  54. Sophie California says – reply to this

    I still don't think all this soppy talk will keep this couple together for the rest of Harlow's life. Do they have any idea that Harlow is actually a place in Essex, UK, that's a real shit hole…?!

  55. annie says – reply to this
    55

    LOL.
    " me and her mother.."
    gawd that sounds like such a happy family. NOT
    just say Nicole & I you freak.. geesh.. bet she just got pregnant by accident cause uhmm.. who needs condoms right.. sicko
    this so isnt gonna last..and the poor baby will have to suffer for it

    It would be in Joel's best interest to run a quick SPELLING/GRAMMAR check prior to his next entry.

  57. loz says – reply to this

    he sounds like a really nice guy :)

  58. What an uneducated person says – reply to this
    58

    Joel needs to taking writing 101 course. Me and her mom then switches entirely different thoughts..
    Also, doesnt he love Nicole? Says the baby taught him what love is lol…

    HAHA all you stupid asses who think they are first.. who really fucking cares?
    ne who
    Joel Madden is THA SHIT

  60. UMMM says – reply to this
    60

    Re: annie
    WOW i'm sure he cares is he uses the correct grammar considering he is a huge artist and sold thousands of records! JUST because it wasn't planned doesn't mean shit. He is a great father and loves his child dearly.. Even if him and Nicole don't last it doesn't mean the child will suffer you stupid bitch…..

    His spelling and grammar suck. He's obviously neither intelligent nor well educated.

  62. The Axe. says – reply to this
    62

    Dear #61,

    Totally agree. People who can't spell or use proper grammar shouldn't be allowed to raise children. It's easy to fix, and it's the same kind of carelessness that allows kids to fall into fires, down stairs, off cliffs…

    I just am glad they are happy. Too much horrible shit in this world today. To much bad shit in this world of mine. WE ALL deserve something better.

    they got it, in the form of new life. Congrats mother fuckers, lets live!

    Such a hypocrite…she doesnt want her own kid to see anything bad????…Meanwhile she made the news alot being a pot head driving drunk and did all kinda stupid immature stuff on the simple life! Now she thinks anyone who does goofy shit is a bad person right? get over yourself!

    totally agree with what he's saying, at some point or other we all lose that innocence we were once born with.

    and i respect him for wanting to keep Harlow in the dark about all the bad things that go on in the world, but one day she's gonna have to find out what the world is really like, a place full of assholes !

    Very Sweet, but a little weird saying he never knew Love before the Harlow. So he doesn't Love Nicole.. or didn't before the baby was born?
