Joel admitted that he and Nicole were very srprised – but excited! – to find out that they were expecting again.

“We let love plan our babies,” he laughed. “We said even before this one we didn’t know how many kids we were going to have…then we got pregnant!”

Joel also admitted tat the constant tabloid speculation about Nicole being pregnant again as been hard on his family. They keep calling him and being like “Nicole?!!”

“Just before we found out, some magazine was writing that Nicole was expecting so my mom called and she’s like, ‘Is Nicole…?’” Joel says. “Every time, I’m like, ‘Mom, come on, seriously. I would tell you.’ But we didn’t know! And then I swear, literally two weeks later it comes true, we found out she really was.”

They also pulled the Tap Project, a non-profit dedicated to getting clean and safe ware to underprivileged children in third world countries.

Raise Hope for the Congo is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of women and children in the Congo by supplying them with food and water and by creating a safer environment for them to live in. Joel has been involved with the group for the past couple years, even visiting the Congo with UNICEF to learn more about the work Raise Hope for the Congo is doing.

In the video, Joel talks about the Congo and what his fans can do to help during a Good Charlotte concert. He explains what our generation is doing to aid this problem, and what we can do to stop it.

I’m not 100% sure if the live feed in the video is a concert or a lecture Joel is giving. While I think it’s awesome Joel is so involved and passionate about this project, I’m a bit torn about how I feel about him using a concert as a platform to speak about his issues. We have so many other ways Joel can connect with his fans about this. But then, where else will you have the rapt of 10,000?
