Richie not marrying Madden next week

Nicole Richie will not be marrying her rocker lover Joel Madden next week - because the Good Charlotte singer will be on tour in Australia, according to a US tabloid report.

Last week, TMZ.com claimed the couple was planning to exchange vows on October 13, in Laguna, California, and even named the wedding planners allegedly organising the intimate ceremony.

But Good Charlotte are scheduled to play at Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena on the alleged wedding date, and have further dates set in the country until October 17.

A source tells Us Weekly: "We are all laughing about it. The tour is still on and they have no marriage plans yet."

And wedding organiser Lorraine Keseloff also denied her involvement in the Madden/Richie union.

She says: "I have no idea how this all got started. It's been the most bizarre weekend. It's all completely false."
