Richie-Madden clan may be coming your way! That's 'cause new mama Nicole has been offered the lead role of Roxie Hart in the Broadway production of Chicago! "She's definitely interested and weighing it out with the timing of the baby," Nicole's pal tells Us Weekly. "It is in the super early stages of discussions and no decision has been made yet."

A number of factors are playing into Nic's decision. "It would give her a reason to really show her talent and to stay in the new place in NY Joel just got. It also shows people are really excited about Nicole right now," the source says. "She is also weighing some other amazing offers but 2008 is going to be really exciting for her. She just working it all out and keeping Harlow in mind with everything she does, of course!"

If Nicole pulls of the role, it could really help her professional career. "You have to be able to act, dance and sing," says Robert Viagas, founder of Playbill.com. "And if you're able to pull off all three, the entertainment world notices."

Ashlee Simpson played Roxie for the London performance in 2006. Maybe she can give Nicole some pointers!
