Nicole Richie and Joel Madden are getting married today and after the magazines duel it out, plan to give the six figure lump of cash to charity. It’s customs that whenever an A (or even B or C) lister gets hitched, the weekly tabloids will bid to see who can obtain the pictures for a Wednesday morning release.

While it’s rumored that both OK and People are competing for the rights, a source close to the couples says they plan to donate 100% of the proceeds to charity.

A hidden kink in the plans? Christina Aguilera – who was supposed to sing – and good friend Kim Kardashian can’t attend. Samantha Ronson, however, (remember her?) is going to be Richie’s bridesmaid.
