Nick Lachey & Vanessa Minnillo: Ready for Baby?

Vanessa Minnillo and Nick Lachey have yet to set a wedding date — but that doesn’t mean a baby in 2011 is out of the question.

“Things happen,” Minnillo, 30, tells PEOPLE. “And if a blessing comes before the wedding then that’s exactly what it is, [a blessing].”

Since getting engaged to The Sing-Off host Nick Lachey, 36, last November, Minillo has been busy filming guest spots on 30 Rock and Hawaii 5-0, airing in February. But her work schedule won’t keep her from eventually becoming a mom.

“I would love to have children and work,” she explains. “I definitely don’t want it to slow me down. I’m always going to be, ‘Go, go, go.’ And I’m going to be pregnant, fat and happy through it all.”

Who does Minnillo look to as a role-model mom? None other than her fellow bride-to-be Reese Witherspoon.

“I think she’s amazing. She’s a strong woman who can manage her two babies and still be a talented actress as well an ambassador for her causes,” Minnillo says of Witherspoon. “She’s done it all, and she’s done it all with grace and [shown] it is possible.”

Nicole Richie on Marriage: I Get Away With More

On Tuesday's The Talk, newlywed Nicole Richie, 29, dished on her wedding, marriage and whether she and Joel Madden, 31, will add to their brood.

After four years as a couple, Richie admitted that married life has its own quirks.

"It's different because I know I can get away with more," she said. Asked if she would elaborate, Richie replied: "I haven't tested him yet."

Richie was a bit cagey on whether her children Sparrow, 1, and Harlow, 2, would get a baby brother or sister anytime soon. "I don't think it's fair to ask someone that's had two back-to-back if they're going to have another one," she said. "You never know."

With two toddlers running around and an elaborate wedding under her belt, she is sure of one thing: "I need a nap."

Nicole's Big Suprise For Joel On Wedding Day

Though the bride usually makes most of the wedding arrangements, the groom is usually looped in on the big things. But for Joel Madden and Nicole Richie’s wedding, one very large part of the wedding was a surprise to the Good Charlotte Rocker: the elephant!

“I was like, ‘what?’” Madden told People Magazine about the 47-year old animal which greeted their guests.

“Then I just laughed- Nicole getting an elephant and not telling me is typical of our relationship.”

Madden added that he is usually the “no guy” but let the massive shocker roll off his back out of love for his bride.

“But if there’s one time I want her to have the craziest thing she wants, it’s the day we marry.”

Nicole Richie's 'Magical' Wedding Night

Ever since she was a little girl, there were two things Nicole Richie wanted on the day she married: a show-stopper dress inspired by Grace Kelly's iconic wedding gown, and a real live elephant for good luck.

Both her wishes came true as she married Good Charlotte rocker Joel Madden at her father Lionel Richie's home on Dec. 11.

They tied the knot in front of their children – Harlow, 2, was the flower girl, while 15-month-old Sparrow was the ring-bearer – under a tent transformed to resemble a French garden.

"It was magical," Richie, 29, tells PEOPLE. Adds Madden, 31: "It was the best night of my life."

For her big day, Richie wore three stunning Marchesa dresses, including one featuring a ball-gown skirt crafted from more than 100 yards of hand-draped silk organza and tulle petals.

Nicole Richie's Wedding Elephant Explained!

Why in the world was there an elephant at Nicole Richie and Joel Madden's wedding?

Folks were baffled Saturday when an elephant with an elaborate headdress was seen entering the premises of Lionel Richie's Beverly Hills estate -- where 150 guests watched his daughter and Madden exchange vows.

The answer lies in an interview Richie, 29, gave way back in November 2005, when she was then engaged to marry the late DJ A.M. (real name: Adam Goldstein).

On Larry King Live! she told guest host Ryan Seacrest all about her wedding plans. "I want to have a very, very big wedding. I want it to be very extravagant. I want like hundreds of people and elephants...and a horse and carriage."

Befuddled, Seacrest asked about the inclusion of elephants. "Because elephants are really good luck," Richie explained. "And they're beautiful animals. You don't think?"

To illustrate, she added: "You know, the movie Coming to America," in which Eddie Murphy plays an African prince who has a beyond-lavish wedding with elephants and many other creatures.

"I want it bigger than that," she said.

Elephant or not, Richie's actual nuptials were slightly more low-key. Richie wore three different Marchesa outfits for the black-tie, winter-themed event, attended by celeb pals like Khloe Kardashian and Samantha Ronson. Rapper-minister Rev. Run officiated the ceremony, and guests dined on goodies like homemade butternut squash ravioli, filet mignon and a dessert buffet.

"It was awesome!" a guest told Us.

Why Paris Wasn't Invited to Nicole's Wedding

They may have called a truce in 2006, but that doesn't mean Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie are as close as they once were.

When Richie, 29, tied the knot to Good Charlotte rocker Joel Madden at her father Lionel's Beverly Hills estate on Saturday, her former Simple Life costar was noticeably absent.

"Nicole knew very well that having Paris involved would have inevitably turned a special night into being about their friendship," a source tells Us Magazine. "Nicole's life is completely different now."

In fact, Richie didn't even bother to invite Hilton, her best friend since the age of 2, to attend the winter-themed ceremony. And though Richie's pals Khloe Kardashian and Samantha Ronson made the final guest list, a source close to Hilton tells Us that the 29-year-old socialite "isn't dwelling on it too much."

"She and Nicole aren't close anymore, but there are no hard feelings there," the insider explains. "They just grew up and apart."

Hilton showed no signs of misery when she jetted off to Las Vegas to celebrate her friend Jennifer Rovero's birthday on Saturday -- the same day her former BFF walked down the aisle.

"Good morning everyone! Off to Vegas for my BFF @CamRaFace's Birthday!" Hilton tweeted. "Huge! Loves it!"

Nicole Richie Wore THREE Looks at Wedding

Bridal bliss times three!

When Nicole Richie married Joel Madden on Saturday, the author and fashion designer wasn't content with just one bridal outfit. Instead, Richie, 29, donned three different looks, all by Marchesa, a source confirms exclusively to Us Magazine.

The insider explains that Richie wore one gown during the ceremony (which was officiated by rapper-minister Rev. Run); for the dinner, she kept the same top and switched into a different dress; for the after-dinner party, she changed into another Marchesa frock.

What did Richie, Madden, 31, and their 150 guests (including Khloe Kardashian and Samantha Ronson) chow down on at the fete, held at her dad Lionel's Beverly Hills estate?

TMZ unearthed the menu from the winter-themed affair: The gourmet goodies included red greens salad, homemade butternut squash ravioli in brown butter sage sauce, an entree choice of filet mignon or seared ahi tuna and a dessert buffet.

A guest tells Us the bash -- also featuring an elephant! -- was "awesome."

JoAnna Garcia Weds NY Yankee Nick Swisher

Actress JoAnna Garcia and New York Yankees player Nick Swisher are officially husband and wife!

The pair swapped vows in front of 375 family members and friends in an evening ceremony Saturday in Palm Beach, Fla.

Jamie Lynn Sigler and Garcia's Reba costar Reba McIntyre served as bridesmaids, while singer Lance Bass stood as part of the wedding party.

After walking down the aisle in a Monique Lhuillier gown, the actress and the baseball player celebrated with guests as they indulged in a seven-tier, $10,000 Sylvia Weinstock wedding cake.

Better With You's Garcia, who got engaged to Swisher, 30, last May, says she "loves everything about" her beau.

"I know that sounds cheesy and lame, but I just really do," the actress, 31, tells Us. "I'm impressed and awed by him every single day when I wake up. He's a really happy person and he's just really nice."

Though Garcia has been taping her sitcom in L.A. while Swisher is in NYC with the Yankees, the newlywed says being 3,000 miles apart has "actually been strangely easy."

"This relationship's been the easiest thing I've ever done," Garcia explains. "It works out because we both have crazy schedules for a certain period of time in our lives, but for some reason it doesn't conflict as much as one would think. Life's good right now. We're enjoying it."

"The nature of their relationship is a private matter and will remain so," Escovedo's wife said.

Pete Escovedo's sister is well-known muscian Sheila E, but the identity of Nicole's biological mother is not known. There has been speculation that she was a former assistant of Lionel Richie.
