Nicole Richie was photographed making her way through security at LAX in Los Angeles as she prepared to depart the city over the weekend. According to her Twitter feed, she needs a little break from Joel Madden. Turns out he found a new love... the iPad.

Ladies & Gentlemen I am single. @JoelMadden has left me for the Ipad. Dear @joelmadden please stop starring at your IPAD with googely eyes while shaking it & moaning

I'm not really FEELING THE NEED to get an iPad. Any INO readers grab one yet? What do you think?
