The airline employee who forced JOEL MADDEN to cover up his tattoos has been disciplined by his bosses, who are furious about the bad publicity the stunt has caused.

Madden was outraged when a British Airways employee refused to allow him to board a flight from Chicago to London on Monday (27Apr09), until he hid his body art from other passengers.

The Good Charlotte rocker posted a message online from the plane, expressing his outrage. He wrote on Twitter.com, “Was just told by a british air (sic) person I can’t get on the plane till I cover my tatts.

“I really actually am in shock.”

And BA bosses are equally baffled - because there’s nothing in the rulebook about tattoos.

Confirming the unnamed employee is being reprimanded, a spokesperson tells TMZ.com, “We don’t understand why the employee took it upon himself to enforce regulations that don’t exist.”

Proud papa Joel Madden is thrilled to hear that pals Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and Pete Wentz have welcomed a new son, Bronx Mowgli. He’s sure they can handle it.

“They are going to be great parents,” Madden told PEOPLE Saturday while celebrating Good Charlotte’s upcoming remix album at Hollywood’s ECCO Ultra Lounge. “They both have really big hearts. I wish them the best. I know they have their hands full right now but I’m excited for them.”

And Madden can recognize good parenting. He and Nicole Richie have adopted a very hands-on approach when dealing with daughter Harlow. Richie even makes homemade baby food for their 10-month-old daughter.

“Her first food was sweet potatoes and she loved it,” Richie recently told PEOPLE. “She ate the whole thing and it was all over the place – in her hair, on her nose, everywhere!”

The key to being loving parents, Madden says, is the backing of a supportive partner. “She’s supportive,” Madden said of Richie, who watched him give interviews from the event’s VIP lounge.

For Nicole Richie and Joel Madden, the wedding bells can wait – at least for a little while.

“We don’t have any plans for that right now,” Madden told PEOPLE on Wednesday. “We’re just happy, and we’re being a family, and that’s where we’re at right now. But marriage means something different to everyone.”

As a celebrity DJ at the Oakley/Suzuki Celebrity Ride Day event in Perris, Calif., Madden took turns spinning records, and quelling notions of a summer rush to the altar.

“Right now we’re really happy,” the Good Charlotte frontman says, “and we’re concentrating on our family, and that’s what is making us happy right now. We’re moving at our own pace.”

The new father has his mind now on raising little daughter Harlow. “It’s crazy,” he says. “Every day she does something new. When she reaches for me, it’s awesome! Just watching her grow, it melts me!”

Am I the only who can’t tell birthday boys Benji and Joel Madden apart? I think the one with the facial hair is Joel who is with Nicole Richie and the one with the DCMA shirt is Benji and he is dating Paris Hilton…or is it the other way around? Whatever I wonder the girls get them confused too…now that would be hot!

BTW you should see me try to tell The Olsen twins apart because I have never been successful at that one either. If anyone has pointers it would be very much appreciated!

According to Us Weekly, producers offered Nicole Richie the role of Roxie Hart in a Broadway production of Chicago. The new mom is reportedly undecided, but interested and talking it over with baby-daddy Joel Madden.

“She’s definitely interested and weighing it out with the timing of the baby,” a Richie pal tells Us. “It is in the super early stages of discussions and no decision has been made yet.”

“It would give her a reason to really show her talent and to stay in the new place in NY Joel just got,” the source says. “It also shows people are really excited about Nicole right now.”

Whatever Richie’s decision, this year will be big for the new mom. “She is also weighing some other amazing offers but 2008 is going to be really exciting for her,” the source says. “She just working it all out and keeping Harlow in mind with everything she does, of course!”

Shouldn’t this role be offered to someone who can sing? I thought that was a prerequisite to performing on Broadway.

“She sometimes wears two pairs at a time,” a pal of Nicole reveals to OK!.

Nicole Camille Richie (born September 21, 1981) is an American actress, author, and aspiring singer. The daughter of Lionel Richie, she is known for her role in the reality show The Simple Life and her turbulent personal life.

On April 20, 2005, amid media reports that their friendship was in trouble, Paris Hilton, released a statement saying, “It’s no big secret that Nicole and I are no longer friends,” and “Nicole knows what she did, and that’s all I’m ever going to say about it.” A circulating rumor was the story that Richie had shown Hilton’s sex tape at a party; though Richie has denied this. Richie, however, said “There’s nothing that really happened, we’ve just grown apart.” Richie and Hilton reportedly reconciled after Hilton called Richie on her birthday in September 2006.In the spring of 2006, Richie made media headlines with a dramatically thinner appearance, after spending two seasons of The Simple Life slightly heavier than her usual weight. In May she told Vanity Fair, “I know I’m too thin right now, so I wouldn’t want any young girl looking at me and saying, ‘That’s what I want to look like.’” She also said, “I started seeing a nutritionist and a doctor. I was scared that it could be something more serious.” During this time it was reported that she had also sought the help of a psychiatrist and a personal trainer. Later that year, in September, Richie stated “I am not anorexic. I am not bulimic. I do not have an eating disorder.” On October 27, 2006, it was announced that Richie was seeking treatment for “an inability to put on weight”, though it is not treatment for an eating disorder.

In March 2007, Richie was taken to the hospital for dehydration. On March 21 her reps announced she was diagnosed with hypoglycemia.

Richie has had a string of high-profile relationships. She dated DJ AM (Adam Goldstein) from 2004 to 2005, and they broke up after a nine-month engagement.Richie was also briefly linked with Brody Jenner of The Hills.

Richie’s highest profile relationship thus far has been with Joel Madden, of the band Good Charlotte, an ex-boyfriend of Hilary Duff. Duff’s song “Gypsy Woman” garnered media attention independently from the album when it was rumored to be about Richie. This speculation, which was reported in sources such as MSNBC and Radar magazine, also involved another song on the album, “Dignity”. Radar suggested that a line in the song, “Enjoy the fame, bringing down the family name,” refers to Richie’s famous father Lionel Richie. Duff admitted that songs on the album were about ex-boyfriend Madden, but insisted that she has nothing but “good feelings” toward him and Richie. “She seems like a nice person,” Duff said.On July 31st, 2007, Richie confirmed that she and boyfriend Joel Madden were expecting a child, due in early January 2008. She gave birth to 6 lbs. 7 oz daughter Harlow Winter Kate Madden on January 11, 2008 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
