Christina Aguilera Gets Parenting Tips From Nicole Richie

I always like hearing about celebrity parents hanging out together, and the fact that photos in gossip magazines featuring Toby Maguire’s daughter Ruby Sweetheart playing with Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale’s firstborn Kingston makes me gooey is yet another compelling reason I should be punched in the face repeatedly until I agree to get a life.

Apparently Christina Aguilera didn’t hold any grudges over Nicole Richie having “the more interesting baby”, and she’s turned to her fellow young mum for parenting advice.

Christina said: “I didn’t know much about Nicole, but because our little ones are born one day apart and through mutual friends I’ve had the opportunity of getting to know her and I was blown away with how great of a mom she is. I actually ask her for advice because she has a lot of great things that she does for her little one. She’s a little stricter with toys than I am. She’s a great woman.”

Bless them to bits.

Christina then goes on to defend Nicole over her past reputation as a party girl.

The pop superstar added: “She doesn’t go out so much, maybe she goes to dinners. It just is inevitable that you’re going to grow when you have a little one, so anyone who’s giving anybody grief for going out and partying, they’re just trying to be negative and stir up drama and I have nothing but good things to say about Nicole. I have to say that.”

Ummm, okay. Great. Way to ramble, girlfriend! Thanks for that!
