Nicole Richie and Joel Madden ran some errands in LA last week.

First stop was the DCMA store where they said hi to Benji and were secretly shadowed by my friend, Soapbox Killer, who is in the background of several paparazzi shots on gossip sites around the WWW.

All I have to say is that, Killer, you crack me up. And, DCMA rocks!
