Have a hug and a bear

At the Richie-Madden Children’s Foundation holiday bash at Paramount Studios on Dec. 22, proud papa-to-be 2. Joel Madden handed out hugs to kids from Beyond Shelter, a program helping families combat homelessness and poverty, as did his partner Nicole Richie, who also provided laughs. Guests chowed down on hot dogs, stopped by a face-painting station, and loaded up on balloon animals before leaving with a new pair of Stride Rite shoes and their own cuddle buddies, Cloud B Cuddle Cub teddy bears.
