Despite NICOLE RICHIE’s determination to make fiance JOEL MADDEN an honest man before their baby’s born, her pop icon pop LIONEL RICHIE keeps advising his fragile princess to postpone the wedding, avoid all the nuptial frenzy and just CHILL! Said a family insider: “Lionel doesn’t think Nicole can handle the stress, and told her: ‘Baby, in life it’s first things first!’ ” Knowing Nicole’s vulnerable and worried about delivering a healthy baby, Lionel’s assured her that as Father of The Bride, he’ll spend big buck$$ for a spectacular wedding whenever she wants it – but right now, he wants her to focus solely on the birth. Said the friend: “Lionel knows how poorly Nicole reacts to pressure in her life, so he thinks the wedding should be postponed – and he knows Joel is willing to wait.” Stay tuned.
