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."

      congrats…what a great guy. I am so impressed with Nicole's choice to stick with this guy- he seems so down to earth and normal. I hope the rest of Hollywood uses them as an example of how to turn your life around!!! (BRIT BRIT are you listening??)

      What he's really saying is "Nicole can't wait until we hire a fucking nanny so she can get back to the club scene and begin doing drugs and being a miserable skank again. That fucking Britney is stealing her headlines and she's pissed. Plus, she doesn't have a clue how to change a diaper. You all know she only got knocked up to keep herself out of jail. She's a worthless whore, but I love worthless whores."

      "thats where music, and art come in to save the day." OH YEA, because there's NO VIOLENCE, SEX and INHUMANITY in the arts! IDIOT. The church does more FOR PEOPLE than the arts to every minute of the day. I know that's not popular to say, but it's true.

      HONESTLY…NOBODY REALLY FEELS LIKE THAT WHEN THEY HAVE A KID….NEW PARENTS ARE ALWAYS SO EAGER TO ACT LIKE THEY THINK THEY SHOULD….IT'S KINDA GROSS

    15. Hillco says – reply to this


      115

      Spoken like a TRUE LOVING PARENT! Someone should send this to that whore Brit and highlight the part where Joel writes

      "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."

      THAT IS A TRUE PARENT! We never want our children to feel the hurt or pain that undeniably comes with life and would do anything we could to feel it for them. Kudos and congrats to both of you….I hope you guys can set a stellar example for young Hollywood! : ) Very sweet…

      116

      That is so cute! It's amazing how a baby can change people and their way of thinking, and thier outlook on likfe and the world. Too Cute! I bet that baby is georgeous!! Can't wit to see pics.

      117

      I always knew I liked Joel, for some reason. First off, congratson baby Harlow! Second, I commend them for acknowledging how messed up this world is, and that people have forgotten how to live without hate and pain. My heart goes out to Joel and his family, as well as the family and friends of the late Heath Ledger.

    18. tbone says – reply to this


      118

      He's talking to you people!!!! And to Perez!

      "how harsh people can be as a result of it"
      "The world could really make you bitter if you let it"

      All the negativity and hate and judgement on this blog and the comment boards is disgusting! Can't you see that he is talking about you! Why can't people be positive and happy that they are happy! You have all let the world get you bitter and it is SAD!

    19. Jennifer says – reply to this


      119

      I hope he writes a song about baby Harlow…would seem fitting.

      And really love the tribute to Heath…you really don't know love until you look in your babies eyes…..Michele, be strong for Matilda! Daddy is gone but living in her now and that 's his beautiful legacy.

      121

      When the little baby is old enough to speak, it's going to ask, "Why is Daddy covered in all those ugly tatoos and why did Mommy get arrested for driving the wrong way on the Hollywood Freeway??"

    22. Oh boy says – reply to this


      122

      He could use some grammatical training but whatever. I suppose his heart is in the right place.

      You know, Lionel Richie is a good man who worked hard to become successful. His daughter, with all her stupidity and excuses, has done nothing but bring embarrassment and humiliation to poor Lionel and his wife.

      This guy is funny, I tell ya'! He wants to portray himself as the selfless father, and wants everybody to say 'ohh, he is so adorable' to him. HA! Hey Joel, do you want to set a good example? Marry the baby's mother.

      Nice thoughts. Children do change one's life and the love of a parent for his/her child is something you can't imagine until it's been experienced. I hope he keeps this great passion and protective instinct for his child. Looking at todays celeb kids it's pretty apparent the deck is stacked against them. Too much money, access and parents wrapped up in their own lives.

      That was incredibly considerate of him to acknowledge Heath Ledger's Death.

    37. Lauren says – reply to this


      137

      Fact is, even though his sentences are kind of messy, he tried. He actually changed my view about it, as I previously thought of him to be a little uneducated. I wish the best for them, and it was really nice of him to offer his condolences to Heaths family.

    38. Erin says – reply to this


      138

      That was beautifully written,
      aside from a couple of typical grammatical errors.
      All you dissing him for that, shush, because you know you blog and IM like that by accident sometimes.

      Listen to the message. It's wonderful.

      Re: realist
      Wow, you're an idiot. You must live a sad, sad life. And actually, i do know what Joel is like. He's from my hometown and is a pretty decent guy. That crack about Heath was completely out of line. You're a sad, PATHETIC piece of SHIT!

    41. diva says – reply to this


      141

      Thyre trying to send out a possitive message and i respect that. I believe she can turn her life around and I think she can be a good mother esp. because she was adopted. I wish them both the best of luck!

    42. L says – reply to this


      142

      Re: annie
      I disagree. I don't think she got pregnant by accident. I remember reading a while ago that she got pregnant because she thought that would keep her out of jail. She was wrong. Then again she was only there an hour.

      For the record I think this relationship will last five years max, and his grammar is really bad.

      151

      Finally, a celebrity with his priorities in the right order. What a concept. Just goes to show you really can't judge a book by it's cover. I hope these two stay together for a very long time and provide a steady and safe home life for little Harlow. He sounds like a very deep, spiritual man with a good head on his shoulders. I really hope their relationship stays steady. I'm so sick of today's flaky Hollywood relationships.

      Re: Holey in Haiti – im sorry.. i didnt hear about them asking ur opinion on whether they were fit parents. im pretty sure ur probly not a parent and if u are.. u need to get ur life together and tend to ur children and give up this gossiping phase. ur a fucking joke.

      156

      Yea I am sure Paris Hilton's parents felt the same way about protecting her innocence and look how she turned out!!!!!!!!!!! I don't get how these ho loving boys have kids and want to protect them when there own mom and her friends are sluts themselves…. Sorry Harlow but it's in your genes to turn out just like your mama.

      157

      I hope and pray that Nicole will NEVER EVER talk to her daughter the way she has talked on TV; using the F bomb all the time. She is a mother now and she needs to do the right thing. Joel wrote a beautiful, thoughtful piece here and it sounds like he has his act together. I wish all of them a very happy, healthy, long life together.

      well i would just like to say that joels right this world is nothin but bad news
      every time i turn around theres hate and violence, people been hateful toward one another, for wat to make them self look better, we all have those moment were we just wont to say shit about people but doesnt that make u just the same as the hate and violence u just add and add to it.
      we all start out not nowin anything, and bein inocent but its how we are raised and think for our selfs can we make a difference in this world.
      i wish the best for nichole and joel im so happy he has his family now
      i just cant see the good any more in this world we have those once that come along once in a blue moon that have a good heart but most r just tanted with the worlds evil, its not like it uses to be times have changed and we as humans need to learn no matter wat color we are or where were from or wat ever the fuck we look like we are all humans and our race wont be here that long if we keep killin one onother and or killin the world.
      i wish the better for people and i hope that heaths family will make it through the tough times
      i lost someone close to me so i understand in a since wat they are goin through!!

      161

      Ahahahahaha. So my guess is He left Hilary because she wouldnt let him fuck her. Wow what a great man. So he turned to a anorexic slut [Note The Simple Life if youve ever watched it, shes a fucking whore who doesnt care about nobdy but herself] And wtf? How long has he even had the baby? That douchebag. Ohhh i love this baby and me and the mother this omg and so sorry for heath ledger oohhhh. Hes an asshole and shes a whore. And yeah the baby wont be protected from "bad stuff" when her mommy decides to turn on the simple life on their little widescreen tv. I feel sorry for that poor little baby.
