So, one of Barack Obama's top advisors called Hillary Clinton a "monster". If you read the article that describes the incident (link is below), the monster comment is the way the Obama camp really feels about Hillary. The article goes on to explain how the Obama camp was upset about the loses in both Texas and Ohio blah blah blah. The advisor did quit the campaign over the comment. This is not good PR for Obama, or his campaign. But good old Hillary did not let the comment get her down and handled is with class. Good Pr for Hillary, bad Pr for Obama.

So, Nicole Richie and her boyfriend and baby daddy Joel Madden have started a foundation to help underprivileged children. (see link above) This organization is appropriately titled The Richie Madden Foundation, and its main purpose is to provide general and program grants to non-profit organizations in the U.S. They focus on health care, education, and human rights.

Well, I have to say bravo Nicole Richie. This is a great positive PR move. After Nicole and Joel had realized they were pregnant they started this organization. This looks great for Nicole especially in a PR perspective. She was a PR persons nightmare before that baby. Being arrested for drugs, alcohol, and driving the wrong way down the freeway, just to name a few. It was hard for Nicole to put forth a positive image before, but now she is on her way.

In my search for articles I had found nothing but positive remarks and well wishes. The Couple even through a surprise baby shower for a group of less fortunate mothers and their children. They gave the mothers baby supplies and had some great photo ops. They even sold baby pics to a certain magazine publication with all proceeds will go to their foundation. So, thumbs up Nicole Richie for turning your image from a serious negative to a positive!

Below are some links to the articles that I have found regarding the foundation. The Foundation link is located under the photo above.
