Stepping out for a romantic night, Benji Madden and his longtime girlfriend Holly Madison were spotted heading to Rare 120 Steakhouse in Las Vegas on Saturday night (April 3).

The pair were on hand to celebrate Benji’s Ellis Mania 5 fight against Riki Rachtman. The 31-year-old rocker knocked down the former MTV host three times in one minute and 40 seconds — before the fight was stopped by the referee.

Twin bro Joel Madden was on hand to escort Benji to the ring and jumped the ropes in celebration.

Rachtman is quoted as saying: “Benji Madden just kicked my ass. I got wasted by the guy in Good Charlotte!” To which Benji replied: ‘That was the best back-handed congratulations I’ve ever gotten, but thanks anyways.”

Jessica Alba attended Global Green USA’s 7th Annual Pre-Oscar Party at Avalon in Hollywood last night (March 3).

Joined by rocker bros Benji and Joel Madden as well as husband Cash Warren, the Valentine’s Day actress was on hand to help raise funds for Global Green’s many projects intended to create green communities.

Since 1994, Global Green has collaborated with the Hollywood community to raise global awareness of climate-change solutions. The organization is behind projects encouraging celebrities to drive green cars, build green homes and products, and vote for green political leaders.

Fellow planet-loving partygoers included the likes of Serena Williams and upcoming Dancing with the Stars castmember Nicole Scherzinger.

Dogooding celebrity couple Nicole Richie and Joel Madden were in Los Angeles today (February 9) to attend The Richie-Madden Children’s Foundation and 7-Eleven’s ‘Coffee Cup with a Cause’ program launch. The campaign aims to raise money to benefit the Beyond Shelter Neighborhood Resource Center via their own non-profit foundation.

Throughout 2010, 7-Eleven will introduce limited-edition 20-oz coffee cups designed by entertainment and sports celebrities to be sold in 7-Eleven stores nationwide. Proceeds from cups sold will benefit the featured celebrity’s charity of choice. Cups can be filled with any 7-Eleven hot beverage including coffee, tea or hot chocolate.

Featuring a custom-designed drawing representing their cause, Nicole and Joel will support The Richie-Madden Children’s Foundation’s various projects. After formally announcing their partnership, the pair cut the ribbon for the facility’s new playground for young children.

“7-Eleven’s ‘Coffee Cup with a Cause’ program and its donation to The Richie-Madden Children’s Foundation will help us provide a wonderful and safe atmosphere for children and their families at the new Beyond Shelter playground,” says Nicole.

Adds Joel: “It’s such an awesome thing for 7-Eleven to do, whether they were giving any money to our foundation or not. In each month they’re doing a different charity, and it doesn’t get any better than that, man.”
