Isn't it weird?They all have girls.
Isn't it weird?They all have girls in hollywood.
that is such a cute name !
if she looks anything like her parents she will be beautiful
OMG!!!! Why do you people care so much about what her race is. I am White, Black, and 1/2 chinese. Stupid people are always asking me, 'What are you? What country are you from?" Even though my great-great grandparents came here from China in the early nineteenth century. Nicole is a beautiful woman and a mixture of many different things and if you want to know what that mixture is so badly, just go up to her and ask. She will probably tell you the very same thing that I tell ignorant, nosy people, which is, NONE OF YOUR DAMN BUSINESS!
X-tina had a baby boy late Friday night, but as usual lazy ass Perez was too busy sucking off his butler to post the news!!
WINTER! WTF
Love you Nic and Joel! Congrats on a beautiful healthy baby girl. Rock on!
Awwe! I cannot wait to see pics!
Congrats
Congratulations happy people! Thank heavens it's not another Jessica or Jennifer. Like the world needs another one of those. You end up being Jennifer X or Jennifer Y for the rest of your life because there's too many of them in your darn parish.
Thats An Ugly Name. I Like Kate And I Love Winter && Harlow Is Unique But Together It Sounds Ugly. Winter Madden Would Have Been Better Or Attumn Madden.
Well lets hope she named her after the famous actress and not the god awful UK town Harlow… if she had ever been there before she might think twice about naming her child after the Essex slum…
Hmmm….I'll just call my kid a slut right off the bat, and well it is Winter time, so I'll throw that in there. And you know, Kate is a good name……watch this kid come out to be an attorney. Haha!!
Congrats!!! Please don't get any parenting advice for Britney!!! We Love ya Nicole!!!
Re: Amy – Amy, your cognitive skills are sorely lacking, and suggesting a violent act on a child is disgusting.
love the name but dont they realise harlow is a rough chav town in essex, england. that is just funny.
Congratulations to them! Finally someone had a GIRL…everyones been having boys lately.
Yay! Been waiting for this forever! They chose an adorable name! Maybe she will be more responsible now that they have a baby! Congrats guys!
Yey! That is wonderful news! I have a baby girl myself, and she is the best thing that has ever happened to me. The first 2 months are hell though b/c of the sleep deprivation, but hang in there hunny! You're going to be soooo incredibly happy!
wow congrats for the both….is it strange but wasnt joel going out with hilary duff like last year….he sure moves fast! jaja
THIS COMMENT IS FOR #16 MICHELLEEEE. HOW IN THE HELL CAN YOU SAY THAT HARLOW WINTER KATE SOUNDS KINDA BLACK???? CAN YOU OR ANYONE EXPLAIN THAT SHIT TOO ME, AND IF IT DOES SOUND "A LITTLE BLACK" TOO YOU, BITCH NICOLE IS MIXED, GET REAL.
Hopefull this doesn't turn out like brittany's motherhood…
horrible name they chose for their baby.
Poor kid. When she's in school, "Harlow" is going to become "Ho" for short, watch.
Re: LMAO Loser –
actually that girl was first…she was just verifying that everyone KNEW she was first..in case someone missed it. just sayin
Not that my opinion matters, but I am really proud of Nicole and how she has seemed to taken her life off the derailed trainwreck and looks like she trying to be a good mom through her pregnancy. Good for her!
harlow is a place in essex dontcha know
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVES IT
HARLOW IS A PLACE IN ENGLAND
Re: I HATE STUPID ASS PEOPLE – "GET REAL" gurrrrl you sound ghetto black!!
What does Lupe sound Like? What does Meeka sound like? What does Amber, Britany?? People , all of you, stop being soooo retarded.
What an absolutely terrible name. Harlow is the name of a crappy town in Essex here in England, a town that's full of chavs and other low-life scum, so actually perhaps it's the perfect name!
Congrats….and everone QUIT the "first" garbage…
They probably got the name Harlow from Jean Harlow…..google her if you don't know the infamous actress…lovely name.
Also, just because one was an addict in their youth…PEOPLE CHANGE!!!!! Nicole is a human being who was dumped by her real parents…yes, to rich ones, but that is rejection non the less. People use drugs to make themselves not feel pain.
People can leave the hospital any time they want if it was a healthy birth and baby. I am sure there is a Nurse at home for her…so there isn't anything to do in the hospital after giving birth other than WAIT and sleep….they take the baby to the Nursery….so you can rest…well, she can do that at home.
Why don't you all start supporting her for making healthy decisions?
FYI…Baby Ritchie-Madden is named after famous actress, Jean Harlow, who was the original platinum blondeshell
harlow?? thats the god damn dumbest name i have ever heard.
Congrats Nicole & Joel & Baby Harlow !!! I thought they were expecting a boy, but I think she'll be great with a baby girl. Cant wait to see the baby pics.
perez
you had better be the first with pics of their baby=]
what about christina??
x
i love them together…
but it seems they put kate in the name so that she has a sommewhat normal name..lol
congrats to them
Re: courtney –
I know. That kid is going to be ridiculed with stupid nicknames from birth 2 grave.
There Britney is locking her kid in the bathroom with her and you people are obsessing about her leaving the hospital! It's not uncommon….I left the hospital after 24 hours when I had my daughter. It's no big deal people!
Hasn't anyone ever heard of Jean Harlow? Where have you people been? Living under a rock? I like the name and I'm sure she will be as pretty as her mother!
Where can i send the card to??
nicole is a fashionista,so harlow could be for shalom harlow,and kate could be for kate moss
This child is going to be SO fierce- look at her parents. I envy her.
Harlow is a cute name, I like it a lot. Not sure about "Winter" though, its a bit too odd for my liking.
Congrats to Nicole & Joel (:
Re: Gabrielle Wathen –
It's not pronounce Harlot You idiot!!!
Its Pronuced Har-Low
Just like it's spelled you ass
Like Jean Harlow…You moron
It is so refreshing how a baby can make her turn her life around, get to a healthy weight, stop drinking and partying, start a charity to help others less fortunate, clean up the potty mouth, etc. I hope she will continue to transform into an amazing mother, and I honestly think that this is going to help them both become better people overall. All my best wishes to them both!
Re: Claire – I think the person was thinking of the French word "harlot" which is pronounced harlow. We say pronounce the T at the end of the word in the U.S., but the T in harlot is not pronounced in French. Hence, the harlow sound.
She must have been named for Jean Harlow. The harlow spelling is German with the ow ending.
Re: michelleeee –
Nicole is, like, kind of black! OMG
i love the name. so different. (:
little nicole.:D
cant wait. (:
not in a bad way.
congraats.
Love the name, it sounds vintage like a 40's actress. Cant wait to see what she looks like! Congratulations!
CONGRATS!!!!! That's such a beautiful name. AHHHHH!!!! Harlow and Christina's baby boy could date!!! YEAH!!
Re: michelleeee – ur an idiot. it most def does not sound black. does michelle sound black? who cares since nicole is half black
why can't ppl give their kids normal names?
This is nice news. I'm so happy to read about something positive after days'n'daze of Britney antics! I am really happy for Nicole and Joel. They seem to have settled down, have done some good stuff with their charitable foundation, and now with a daughter safely arrived, I'm wishing good things for all three of them. (And this is gonna be quite the stylish little lady, I'll bet. Look out Suri - you're gonna have competition!) Congrats, Nicole and Joel - you've earned it!
Lord help that baby with these two messups as parents! Neither are quite what any one would call 'grown up' themselves in the way they act!
congrats!!!!
yayy for nicole & joel. i cannot wait til the baby pictures r out!! woohoo. congrats!! & i love the name. great choice for the 1st & 2nd names. very unique.
My cat's name is Harlow.
Seriously.
::shiver::
Re: Fay – yeah autumns nice and all but she was born in winter.
aw! I'm happy for those two…Nicole has turned into such a beautiful woman during her pregnancy. I never really thought she was pretty…but it was apparently just because she was too emaciated to see it…with a little meat on her, she is absolutely gorgeous! That is gonna be one pretty baby…and Harlow…Harlow Winter Kate Madden….pretty name too
i dunno
if it will
but i hope this relationship lasts.
Re: thatz right bitch – Hilary has an amazing boyfriend that loves her, why the fuck would she give a shit about an ex boyfriend having a baby, its life.
What the fuck is the big deal if she leaves the same day ? I left the same day i had my daughter no big deal not everybody is so drugged up they need to stay in for a few days , childbirth is not a big deal have the baby go home ! How is that a problem ?
How unfortunate to start your child's life off with such a horrible name! I might as well start the teasing….her name is Harlot, what a little whore!
You people make me sick you are calling a newborn baby a crack whore WTF wake up
Re: Maggie –
You are just pathetic really she is a baby ! shame
yeahhhhhhhh pathethic haha the baby its just the baby
nic its a anorexic, drug addict woman shes the whore
and joel what a patetic MACHO
I have a feeling this kid will be the next "Rumet Willis" these 2 have verry ugly features that dont go together, and just a few years ago Nicole was a skank that had no respect for her fat and then skinny ass (remember simple life) im curious to see if this baby will change that. I hope so.
omg. this has to be a BEAUTIFUL baby!!!
aah. she's really gorgeous.
and i don't even like her
but still
i'm honestly soo happy for them!
congrats guys!
BEAUTIFUL NAME!
Aww so happy to hear her baby's HEALTHY, first and foremost! Congrats to them :]
