Nicole Richie says she is going to get married in the near future.

Richie was asked Tuesday on Ellen DeGeneres Show if she and Joel Madden have already set a date. She answered that they will get married “soon. “

Richie, 28, also said the wedding arrangements are a big deal and that she is uncertain about how large the entire wedding ceremony will be.

She just got back from her European presentation of her fashion collection line Winter Kate and House of Harlow 1960. Richie says “I just got home, so it’s really going to be like now that’s the time for me to sit down and think about what I want.”

Monday at a show on E!, Richie made a joke saying that she and Madden – they started dating in December 2006 – would be wedding tomorrow.

Putting all jokes aside, Madden, 30, said about their plans for the wedding are “The same thing as our engagement, we’re kind of doing it at our own pace. We have no idea right now.”

The couple, ready to get married very soon, has two children together, Harlow, 2 years and Sparrow, 5 months.

Nicole Richie is planning a comeback to primetime, at this time starring in a scripted comedy. The “Simple Life” celebrity is headlining a single camera half hour sitcom with ABC.

The script, made through Sony Pictures TV, would star Richie as a professional woman with difficult family relationships and desperately trying to find out what her role will be as her life and family progress.

Richie came up with the original idea for the show and she will get a producing credit besides starring in it, having Michael Baum of Impression Entertainment as a producer as well.

Richie previously guest-starred on ‘8 Simple Rules’, ‘American Dreams’, ‘Eve’ and starred along with Paris Hilton in the reality show “Simple Life”.

Richie is involved in other projects as well; she is working on her next novel and on the launch of her clothing collection and shoe line.
