Joel Madden banned from reality TV family show by Nicole Richie

Good Charlotte star Joel Madden would love to invite reality TV cameras into his home - but his wife Nicole Richie won't let him.

The rocker admits the couple has been approached by producers numerous times and he'd love to document their life at home - but Richie, who teamed up with Paris Hilton for The Simple Life, won't hear of it.

He tells U.S. TV show Rove L.A., "I've been approached about a few reality shows... I wanna do a reality show; my wife wouldn't do it."

But Madden, who was a judge on the first season of TV talent show The Voice in Australia, admits his wife is a big fan of America's Real Housewives shows, revealing, "My wife watches those shows to fall asleep and when I think she's asleep, I inch the controller away from her and change the channel."
