Nicole Richie - Richie Wins Motherhood Award
Socialite NICOLE RICHIE will be honoured with a parenting award - just five months into motherhood.
The Simple Life star - who gave birth to her first child, daughter Harlow, in January (08) - will receive a Golden Pacifier Award from Babytalk Magazine, according to its editor-in-chief Lisa Moran.
Moran tells America's OK! magazine, "Honouring Nicole Richie with a Babytalk Golden Pacifier Award might come as a surprise to some, but we felt that she deserved some recognition for her turnaround since becoming a mom.
"She's grown up a lot since the arrival of little Harlow, and her creation of the Richie-Madden Children's Foundation has demonstrated her efforts to set a good example by shining a spotlight on important issues affecting today's families."
Also to be recognised is former talk show host Ricki Lake for her 2008 documentary The Business of Being Born, which chronicles her home-birthing experience.

One of the all-time great idle words violinists (ranking with Joe Venuti and Stuff Smith as one of the large trine of pre-bop), Stéphane Grappelli's longevity and systematically enthusiastic playing did a with child deal to establish the fiddle as a jazz instrument. He was in the beginning self-taught as both a fiddler and a pianist, although during 1924-28 he studied at the Paris Conservatoire. Grappelli played in pic theaters and dance bands earlier meeting guitar player Django Reinhardt in 1933. They hit it off musically from the begin tied though their lifestyles (Grappelli was sophisticated piece Django was a romany) were selfsame different. Together as Quintet of the Hot Club of France (comprised of violin, trey acoustic guitars and bass) during 1933-39 they produced a sensory series of recordings and performances. During a London troth in 1939, World War II skint out. Reinhardt headlong distinct to render to France just Grappelli stayed in England, effectively closing the grouping. The violinist soon teamed up with the young pianist George Shearing in a new band that worked steadily through the war. In 1946, Grappelli and Reinhardt had the first gear of several reunions although they ne'er worked together over again on a regular basis (despite many new recordings). Grappelli performed passim the fifties and '60s in clubs end-to-end Europe and, other than recordings with Duke Ellington (Violin Summit) and Joe Venuti, he remained reasonably isolated in the U.S. until he began regularly touring the world in the early '70s. Since so Grappelli has been a constant traveler and a consistent poll-winner, left very open-minded without altering his sweep style; he has recorded with David Grisman, Earl Hines, Bill Coleman, Larry Coryell, Oscar Peterson, Jean Luc Ponty and McCoy Tyner among many others. Active up until nigh the end, the more and more frail Grappelli remained at the top of his field regular when he was 89. His early recordings are all available on Classics CDs and he recorded quite extensively during his last trine decades.
