Joel Madden was out partying Wednesday night and refused to get his picture taken with any girls because Nicole Richie gave him strict orders not to. Page Six reports:

All was well until a party promoter wanted to take a picture of him with a cute young woman. Our spy reports, “He said he couldn’t, as Nicole gave him strict orders not to take pictures with other celebrities or girls for rumor purposes.”

Yeah, I guess I’d be afraid of pissing off Nicole Richie too. Wait, did I say afraid? Because I meant totally not afraid. See what I did there? I said one thing, but then I changed it to mean the opposite. Man, that came out of nowhere. It’s like I slapped you in the face with my words.
