BALLZ! Express Yourself With BALLZ!

Lionel Richie has said that he approved of Nicole Richie’s new beau, Brody Jenner. He also revealed that Brody has been a close family friend for many years.

He said: “I was there when (Brody) was born! They grew up together. To see them together now is like, “Where are you going with this?” But they’re having a wonderful time.”

Brody’s mom, Linda Thompson, seems to be quite happy with their relationship too. She told People magazine “(Nicole) is like my godchild. … She’s a darling girl, very intelligent and very together. I think they’re very cute (as a couple). Will they get married? Who knows? He’s young and so is she.”

The new couple were recently photographed together. Nicole almost fell because she lost her balance trying to carry a bag that had a good 20 pounds on her! As for Brody, did you not hear your new ladylove grunt as she nearly tumbled to her knees? Is it us, but doesn’t it look like Brody’s deliberately trying to walk ahead of Nicole so that she doesn’t pull him down with her? Too funny!
