Nicole Richie is committed to doing the right thing these days!

Richie and her husband boyfriend, Joel Madden, started last year the Richie Madden Children's Foundation. They've even asked family and friends to donate to their charity instead of giving them any gifts for their daughter Harlow.

And, now, their foundation is about to launch it's new website under Nicole's leadership and with a novel idea of hers.

A source says, "She's hired some pretty high-powered consultants to advise her and put it all together. The Web site will be a registry, like for a bridal or shower registry, where low-income women list things they need for their babies. More well-off people will then go on and buy stuff for the children."

Inneresting concpet.

Richie's manager and publicist have yet to comment.

Good job trying to seal the good girl image.!

Star magazine recently showed and reported on a text message that Richie reportedly sent to that model Lauren Hastings, who had filed a police report on Lindsay Lohan for stealing her clothes.

The text said, "I'll go to Good Will for you and pick out a nice new pair of pants for you to wear and split open because you're getting so f—ing huge. Lose some damn pounds and get a life. You're pathetic… Consider this a warning." The text was sent from Lindsay's phone but signed by Richie.

That's not too lady-like, Nicole.
