Like Halle Berry, it appears Nicole Richie really is pregnant - and was telling the truth when she claimed to be knocked up with the spawn of Joel Madden earlier this summer.

Totally preggers and maybe cracking a smile, the 82-minute jailbird was snapped holding a different kind of ticket (if you will) at Los Angeles Int'l Airport...

Nicole Richie's signature look: Waifish preggers chic.

The waif with the growing belly looked content and without a stitch of makeup. Ah, the joys of motherhood. We wish Nicole Richie and Joel Madden - who are or probably engaged - well as they prepare for the arrival of their bundle of joy.
