It’s always nice to see our favorite celebrities reaching out and using their fame and fortune to benefit others. And yesterday (September 15), Nicole Richie and Joel Madden were spotted hosting an ice cream social to raise money for the Richie-Madden Children’s Foundation.

The “Simple Life” mommy and her rockstar babydaddy took over Beyond Shelter for a delicious and charitable event hosted by Marble Slab Creamery called “Text CHILD to 90999.”

As for the prospect of having a little brother or sister for their daughter Harlow Winter, Joel Madden recently told press, “If it happens, it happens.”

Speaking of Harlow, Nicole happily reported that her little girl is already starting to grow up a bit. “She is pulling herself up standing… we don’t have to burp her anymore.” Madden added, "She says 'mama' and 'dada.' She says 'dada' when she wants to play. Wants to laugh. And 'mama' is everything else. When we walk into a place, she waves to everyone."
