Nicole Richie and her babyLindsay Lohan could learn something from , who recently extended her probation.

The socialite - who was put on probation in 2006 following a driving under the influence (DUI) offence, after being arrested for driving the wrong way down a Los Angeles motorway and failing a sobriety test - was told it wouldn’t be terminated next month as expected, because she hasn’t attended enough alcohol education classes.

According to her lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley - who appeared in a Los Angeles court yesterday - the 28-year-old starlet failed to complete the course because she has been too busy looking after her children Harlow, two, and nine-month-old Sparrow, her kids with her rocker fiance Joel Madden.

Her probation period has now been extended to March 2011, but the judge has promised to terminate it early if she completed the alcohol program before then. Despite the extension, Nicole has been praised for her work on the course so far. Her report states, “Her attitude is excellent.”

Gisele BundchenSupermodel had her son christened yesterday.

The Victoria’s Secret model and her NFL quarterback husband - who wore matching navy outfits - invited friends and family to St. Monica’s church in Santa Monica, California, for the baptism of their six-month-old tot Benjamin. After the service, the guests left the church - which was also where Tom and Gisele married last year - and celebrated with lunch at the beachfront hotel Casa del Mar.

Meanwhile, the 29-year-old Brazilian beauty claims Benjamin is already potty trained. According to Gisele, Benjamin uses the toilet after breastfeeding in the morning and afternoon after she consulted a parenting manual for tips: “Give it about five minutes, and bang.”

“Every time she calls me to see it, I say, ‘Do not want to see it,’” her sister Tia Patricia added.

Gisele is trying to teach Benjamin to use the potty early because she is trying to cut down on the tot’s use of diapers: “Diapers pollute the environment. Where does this garbage go?”
