Nicole Richie is a germophobe

Famecrawler says that Nicole Richie may be overly protective of her child picking up germs. I’ve known lots of parents like this, and they usually grow out of it. But let’s face it -what are the chances this kid grows up normal? No matter how mom feels about dirt, that can’t be a great environment to live in. That said, some people get their acts together when they become parents (Kevin -cough- Federline) so maybe Nicole will and John Madden’s son will figure it out. (note: I know it’s not John Madden’s son. I just don’t feel like looking up his real name.)

I guess this is what you have to do when a team wins the World Series only every 100 years or so (oops, did I say that out loud?).

In a semi-related story, it seems that Ben knows how to behave himself at the ballpark.
