Despite reports that Nicole Richie and Joel Madden have plans in place for a wedding extravaganza at the end of this month, the National Enquirer is claiming that Joel won't marry Nicole until she converts to Christianity.She has a colorful past, filled with drug use and "Hollywood" behavior. Joel grew up attending church and wants Nicole to find God and ask forgiveness for her past sins so that they can raise baby Harlow in a Christian family. And, according to the article, Nicole seems quite ready to appease him.
We're not sure if we buy it -- largely because it's coming from the National Enquirer, but also because forcing someone to convert is pretty major, especially when that person has given birth to your child. If she doesn't find God, then what? Will he leave her? We think it's more likely that, if anything, he's encouraging her to find faith, but we certainly hope he's not forcing her into it. That can't lead to anything but trouble.
