Nicole Ritchie and Joel Madden—At the Pediatrician's Office in Beverly Hills

Brandy: “Nicole and Joel Madden sold first rights for photos to People magazine it was said to be $1 million. This is the first paparazzi photograph of them with the baby, but you can’t see the baby. Maybe in their agreement they have to protect the face of the baby for two weeks. That wouldn’t be unusual.

“Nicole strikes me as someone who will be ready to show off the baby and be a cool hip mom, take him to a café, and pose for the paparazzi. But I could be wrong. Nicole and Joel have already been out partying at night, which means that they have the nanny thing down. She’ll maintain her friendships and rack up some nanny hours.”

Regis: “They made a lot of money with the sale to People magazine. Nicole wasn’t expecting that much money at all. They thought they would get around $250,000. Right now, we are in a time where the baby price is inflated. Christina Aguilera got a lot of money for her baby pictures. Nicole seems a little bit depressed when we get her, so we’ll see what’s going on with that.”
