Ashlee Simpson looked like she was dragging around her own version of Tom Cruise yesterday as she spent an enjoyable evening in New York City with newbie parents Nicole Richie and Joel Madden. I have never seen Ashlee and Nicole acting like buds before so I'm guessing there was either a young brides exhibition on or their beaus had some rockers convention. *We also have Exclusive pictures of Nicole Richie and Joel Madden. Where Nicole can be seen wearing an odd purple jacket. Hope to bring you these snaps soon, so keep checking back!! Pictures by Splash News / Jackson Lee
