Motherhood has turned socialite NICOLE RICHIE into a culinary queen - she feeds daughter HARLOW homemade baby food.
Three years ago, the 27 year old confessed she was no good around the house, insisting she didn’t clean and had no idea how to cook.
But, after becoming a first-time mum to baby Harlow in January (08), she has changed her approach to her home life and now purees steamed vegetables for the 10-month-old tot.
She tells People.com, "Food tastes better coming from your mum because it’s made with love.
"Her first food was sweet potatoes and she loved it. She ate the whole thing and it was all over the place - in her hair, on her nose, everywhere!" And Richie’s boyfriend, Good Charlotte rocker Joel Madden, is delighted with the star’s efforts: "We talk about it all the time… I know exactly what’s going into (Harlow’s) body."

Actress EILEEN HERLIE has died from complications resulting from a bout of pneumonia.
The star, real name Eileen Herlihy, passed away on Wednesday (08Oct08), aged 90.
Born in Scotland, Herlie began her career in the late 1940s and landed her first big role in the 1948 film adaptation of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, opposite Laurence Olivier, and went on to secure parts in movies like 1958’s She Didn’t Say No! and 1962’s Freud.
Herlie was also noted for her success on the Broadway and West End stages, where she starred opposite Richard Burton in a New York production of Hamlet in 1964. Her turn in Broadway musical Take Me Along also earned her a Tony Award nomination for Best Actress in a Musical in 1960.
But it was her role as Myrtle Lum Fargate in long-running U.S. TV drama All My Children that earned her the most recognition.
She joined the daytime soap in 1976 and was nominated four times for the Daytime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Actress in a Supporting Role in a Daytime Drama Series between 1983 and 1986.
In recent years, she made guest appearances on sister soaps like One Life To Live, and continued to play Fargate up until her final days.

Mexican documentary maker SERVANDO GONZALEZ HERNANDEZ has lost his battle with cancer at the age of 85.
Hernandez was the former chief documentary filmmaker for the Mexican government, but he made his mark in Hollywood in the mid-1960s with his movie The Fool Killer, which starred Anthony Perkins.
His legacy features a scandalous moment in Mexico’s history - he was commissioned to shoot what became the Tlatelolco massacre in Mexico City in 1969.
During the tragedy soldiers opened fire on a crowd of demonstrators, killing up to 250 people. The full details of the incident and the death count have been shrouded in secrecy and the footage Hernandez shot had to be handed over to officials once it was developed. The documentarian never got his film back.

THE DARK KNIGHT screenwriter DAVID GOYER is baffled by reports he’s working on a second sequel to 2005’s BATMAN BEGINS - because he hasn’t even discussed the possibility with director CHRISTOPHER NOLAN.
Goyer was rumoured to have reteamed with Nolan to pen a script for another installment of the superhero franchise following the huge box office success of this summer’s (08) The Dark Knight.
The film has grossed $988 million (GBP534 million) worldwide since its July (08) release.
But Goyer insists there are no plans for another Batman movie just yet, telling MTV, "It’s all B.S. (bulls**t). All of it." He adds, "Chris and I haven’t even talked about it. He quite understandably is taking a long, long vacation and wants to purge himself.
"We have mused here and there (but) I mean Chris is pretty much a one-movie-at-a-time kind of guy. I wish I could tell you more. There really isn’t anything to tell."

The adult sons of a couple killed by former child actor SKYLAR DELEON have broken their silence about the tragic 2004 slaying that cost their parents their lives.
Deleon, best-known for his role in U.S. kids TV series Power Rangers, is charged with the murder of Tom and Jackie Hawks.
He allegedly tied the pair to an anchor before tossing them into sea off Newport Beach, California as part of a plot to steal the couple’s yacht.
The 29 year old is charged with two counts of murder and a special circumstance of multiple murder and murder for financial gain.
And, just days after the Deleon trial got underway, Ryan and Matt Hawks have opened up about their parents’ murders.
Ryan Hawks told U.S. morning show Today on Friday (10Oct08) of his last conversation with his parents the day they disappeared: "I was flying to Seattle for work. It was on the last voyage of (their yacht) Well Deserved. I kind of pushed them off the phone; I was running late for a plane. I just felt bad. I had no idea that was the last time I’d talk to them." On his decision to speak out about the tragedy, Hawks added, "It’s important to us as a family, because this is the last thing we’ll ever get to do for our parents. And, as much as it hurts, we just need to be there and represent them." His brother Matt admitted he’s "relieved" that Deleon has opened the trial by admitting guilt: "It’s been four years; it’s been a long time. I’m looking forward to this trial, and I’m sure the jurors will make the correct decision.
"I’m raising two beautiful children now and I don’t have the grandparents, so that they can share their lives with them. It’s just very hard not having them around to share the best part of our life.” The jury will also consider separate murder charges in the death of John Jarvi - a man Deleon met in 2003 while serving jail time for burglary - after a judge consolidated the cases.
Deleon is charged with murder and the special circumstance of murder for financial gain in connection with the Jarvi slaying.
Prosecutors will seek the death penalty against Deleon if he is convicted.

The hip-hop star, who has previously hailed Sinatra as his style icon, pays homage to the entertainer in a new advertisement for Ciroc Vodka.

And Combs reveals he hangs out with best pal Sinatra whenever he goes to Las Vegas - but it’s all in his mind.
He says, "There’s nights in Vegas when I have my Frankie baby with me. That’s right, Frank Sinatra is with me. Call me crazy. I’m not afraid to say I have imaginary friends. And Frank is one of them.
"He’s always influenced me and naturally inspired me. So this was me honouring Sinatra, the Rat Pack, and the style and sophistication of that time.
"I love showing people a good time, throwing parties and seeing people have fun. That’s me. And Frank was the same. He loved entertaining."

METALLICA drummer LARS ULRICH looks set to cash in on an artwork by late graffiti artist JEAN-MICHEL BASQUIAT - the piece is going to auction with an estimated value of $11.1 million (£6 million).
The rocker, who bought Unititled (Boxer) 10 years ago (98), has decided to put it up for sale at New York auction house Christie’s.
Basquiat’s painting, which features a black heavyweight fighter, has been hailed as an "extraordinary" piece of art by Christie’s co-head of contemporary art, Brett Gorvy.
He says, "Untitled (Boxer) is the very best of the artist." Ulrich, an avid art collector, states he is ready to give up the painting for others to enjoy.
He explains, "As a collector, I view myself as a caretaker of works of art, rather than simply an owner. I have been fortunate enough to have shared 10 great years with this truly iconic painting by Basquiat and it is time to put it back into circulation and let someone else enjoy it as much as I have over the last decade." The artwork will go under the hammer on 12 November (08) and is expected to beat the existing record for a Basquiat piece, which was set at $12.95 million (£7 million) in 1981.

Chinese actor KIM CHAN, who has starred in films alongside ROBERT DE NIRO, JERRY LEWIS and JACKIE CHAN, has died.
Kim Chan, born in 1917, passed away on Sunday (05Oct08) in Brooklyn, New York.

He is survived by his son, Michael Chandler.

Actress EVA MENDES jumped at the chance to be a spokesmodel for CALVIN KLEIN, because she was convinced it would give her career a big boost.
The Hitch star is the face of the designer’s new underwear range.
She shot print and TV adverts for the campaign with fashion photographer Steve Meisel earlier this year (08) - but the promo, which sees the actress writhing around topless, was deemed too sexy to be shown on U.S. TV in August (08), and several networks refused to air the footage.
But Mendes, who declared Americans too "prudish" for censoring the ad, doesn’t regret making the saucy film because it fulfilled one of her teenage dreams - to follow in the footsteps of Mark Wahlberg, whose rap alter ego was Marky Mark, and supermodel Kate Moss, who both shot to stardom as Calvin Klein models.
She says, "I grew up on those ads. When Kate Moss and Marky Mark - I mean my friend Mark Wahlberg… can’t say Marky cos he hates that - came out with them, I was like 15 years old. Me and my friends just went crazy. Crazy, crazy. He was so gorgeous… delicious… and still is, of course."
