The Little White Chapel almost played host once again to yet another celebrity wedding of yet another troubled young star. Well, to be fair, she is eating more and is supposedly in recovery.

Nicole Richie was rumored to be just a nanosecond away from getting married at Charolette RIchards' legendary Little White Chapel on the Strip to Good Charlotte frontman Joel Madden.

Who even knew they were dating? They got together this year, we believe, post Nicole's anorexic breakdown, reported drug problems and post the breakup and healing reunion with Simple Life costar Paris Hilton.

Let's hope they take that silly show off the air and save us all from snoredom/boredom, and so Nicole and Paris can go on to really show their acting chops, instead of just showing their private parts and personal dramas.

So anyway, Nicole and her man supposedly picked out matching silver and diamond rings at a shop at Caesar's Palace, headed to the Little White Chapel, but could not bring themselves to do the deed. It is also not clear whether they had ever gone to get the marriage license.

Why? Nicole wanted her dad, Lionel Richie, to sing at her wedding. Or walk her down the aisle. Or at least give his blessings. So they decided to go to Lionel and ask him for Nicole's hand. He was happy to hand her over (sorry, that's mean). Let's just say he approved. Nicole certainly has been healthier since Joel's been in her life.

So now the couple is allegedly planning a small ceremony in Mexico, which we think is a mistake, because if she drinks the water, she's in trouble -- she has enough challenges keeping weight on.

Las Vegas is sad to miss out on another quickie celebrity wedding, but we certainly wish them luck! All bets are on that an engagement announcement from Paris Hilton will follow shortly.
