A day after turning 22, she says, "I just want to live a happy, healthy year"

Body

The morning after her 22nd birthday party, Lindsay Lohan opened up about her wishes for the new year.

"I just want to live a happy, healthy year and continue on the path I've been on and be with the person I care about and my family," she said on Ryan Seacrest's KIIS-FM show Thursday, declining to mention Samantha Ronson's name.

Ronson was among the 100 attendees at Lohan's birthday bash (along with Benji and Joel Madden) at Teddy's in Hollywood Wednesday night.

(Lohan's mom Dina and her brother and his girlfriend also flew in for the event, she said.)

Lohan — who wore a short pink dress and sipped Red Bull at the prom-themed party — told Seacrest planning the bash was "very overwhelming, but you make the best of it.

"There were people I forgot to invite," she admitted, "so I had to invite them!"

The birthday girl's table was covered with cupcakes, including one with a tiara. The room was decorated with red, silver, baby blue and light pink balloons.

At midnight, guests sang "Happy Birthday," as Lohan was presented with a large cake that read "Happy Birthday, Lindsay." It featured the iconic shot of Marilyn Monroe's dress billowing up.

(Lohan famously posed topless as Monroe on the cover of New York.)

"I've never seen her happier," a source close to the actress tells Usmagazine.com. "Everyone got along."

Ronson took over DJ duties from DJ AM for the last hour of the party, which ended around 1 a.m.

So what's Lohan's birthday wish?

"No more tabloids!" she joked to Seacrest.

Joel Madden: I Finally Married Nicole Richie...Just Kidding!

The rocker blogs about false wedding rumors

Body

Joel Madden got his fans excited when he blogged Saturday: "WE DID IT!! NICOLE AND I FINALLY GOT MARRIED!! Click here for pictures!!"

Too bad he was just joking — and calling out Star magazine for falsely reporting he was planning a $2 million wedding to the mother of his five-month-old daughter, Harlow.

"HAHA. JUST KIDDING," Madden, 30, blogged. "So I feel really stupid even posting this, but I've been getting calls and texts from my family all week asking me why they weren't invited to my wedding."

Check out pics of couples who haven't said "I Do."

"I guess the only answer I could give them was that I didn't know we were having one!" he added. "So I just found that Star magazine wrote some story about a 2 MILLION dollar wedding we are supposed to be having, and that's where it came from.

"Sooooo if you were pi--ed at me for not inviting you or even telling you, don't blame me, there's nothing to worry about," Madden wrote. "It's just Star magazine. How long do you think it will be before they write we called it off, or we broke up? I give them a week or two......."

Madden also posted pictures of two gorillas posing together in a tux and wedding dress, asking his fans to, "Check out my blog for a picture of me and my beautiful bride. All I can say is I am so very happy......."

The four-month-old practices standing up with mom

Body

She’s getting so big!

Harlow practiced standing with mom Nicole Richie's help in a park in her Glendale, California, neighborhood Wednesday.

The infant — now nearly five months old — smiled and beamed while dad Joel Madden looked on.

Richie, who showed off her post-baby bod in denim short shorts, also cradled her purple-clad daughter while making funny faces.

Just last month, Richie's step mom Brenda told Usmagazine.com that Harlow was "trying to crawl already" and even burbling "Hi!"

"I said, 'Nicole, did you hear that?'" Brenda told Us. "Nicole said, 'I don't think she knew what she was saying!'"

Are more kids next for the 26-year-old?

"I want five children: twin boys and three girls," Richie said in the June issue of Harper's Bazaar. "I've wanted that since I was a little girl."

Pal Mary-Kate Olsen agrees Richie is up for the challenge: "Nicole is one of the most loving and nurturing mothers I have yet to come across," she tells the magazine.

He says he could be engaged within the next six months

Body

Could Paris Hilton beat her BFF Nicole Richie down the aisle?

Maybe.

Asked on Yo on E! if he could be engaged within six months, Benji Madden replied, "I'm not gonna bet against you on that. We'll see. I'm very, very happy right now."

The rocker, 29, added that "nothing would make me happier" than spending the rest of his life with the heiress, 27.

Madden said he's always known the "real Paris.

"I always knew that she was, like, wife material, or serious girlfriend material," Madden said.

Any one who finds true love in their life "is really lucky," Madden added. "You know you just walk around feeling lucky all day. You just want to get on top of a mountain and go, 'I'm in love!'"

Also in love? His twin bro, Joel.

Benji said "it wouldn't surprise" him if Joel married Nicole Richie, the mother of four-month-old daughter, Harlow.

"They're madly in love, I can tell you that," he said. "They're like the picture-perfect couple, and they're amazing parents."

When would they tie the knot? Said Benji, "Your guess is as good as mine."

Parents-to-be Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz and Nicole Richie and Joel Madden hit the same NYC restaurant, La Esquina, Wednesday.

The foursome were never photographed together.

It was the latest Big Apple outing for Simpson.

She chowed down Virgil's BBQ in Midtown Manhattan following her Tuesday appearance on MTV's TRL, where she said questions about her pregnancy were "inappropriate."

Late Tuesday, she and eight pals hit NYC Italian eatery Da Umberto.

Eating for two, she dined on antipasto, mozzarella and chicken capricciosa (pan breaded breast of chicken, mozzarella and fresh tomatoes). She skipped out on dessert, a source says.

Adds the source, "She was having fun. She was great."

Simpson is in NYC to promote her new album Bittersweet World.
