Joel Madden has vowed not to shave until January because Nicole Richie likes his "dirty face".

The Good Charlotte rocker has decided to grow a full beard and will not shave until next year, after polling fans online.

He initially posted on his twitter blog: "Should I shave? I haven't in five weeks."

Later, after being flooded with replies, he added: "OK, so the tweets have spoken - 80 per cent say I should not shave.

"If that is your wish, then I will not shave. But by mid-Jan I should have a beard."

Joel, 30, later revealed one of the main reasons he isn't shaving is because Nicole - with who he has two children, daughter Harlow, 22 months and two-month-old son Sparrow - likes a man with a beard.

He wrote: "Three good reasons why Joel should not shave: 1. It's November 2. Nicole likes me with a dirty face 3. I'm lazy. (sic)"

Joel recently revealed he gave his son - full name Sparrow James Midnight Madden - an unusual name to purposely make life hard for him.

He said: "My worry raising a son in Hollywood is, what will he have to struggle for? I wanted to give him a name that he's going to have to stand up for. I love it, I think it's a beautiful name."
