Lionel Richie

A BAD DAY FOR LIONEL RICHIE

We can only imagine what Lionel Richie is thinking today. It must be harder to swallow than touring with Mariah Carey – his cute 19 year old daughter Sofia has publicly proclaimed her love for pompous and perpetually tanned reality star Scott Disick, 34. Scott’s reputation is enormous – GQ calls him “the runt of the Kardashian litter” (he has 3 children with Kourtney) and he’s no stranger to alcohol and drug abuse. He supports himself by “partying for a price” – he’s paid to show up at nightclubs and look like he’s having a good time. Most of the women close to his age are suspicious of him, so Sofia is the perfect choice. Our sympathy to Lionel.

NICOLE RICHIE SAYS IT WILL BE A SMALL WEDDING – IN A BIG HOUSE

Nicole Richie always said that if and when she got married to Joel Madden she would do it at her adopted father Lionel Richie’s Beverly Hills house. In fact, she still spends a lot of her spare time at daddy’s place. This photo reveals that is would, indeed, be difficult to find a more beautiful place to take one’s vows. We’re particularly amused that Nicole chose not to invite her sometime friend Paris Hilton to the wedding this weekend.

LIONEL RICHIE IS SNEAKING AROUND ALL NIGHT LONG WITH BAI LING

bai ling and lionel Lionel Richie pairing up with the irrepressible Bai Ling seems to be on the money. They definitely rendezvoused at Whist restaurant at the Viceroy Hotel in Santa Monica for a meal, at the very least. They arrived and left in separate cars, implying that they want to keep their blossoming relationship under cover. According to a witness, they sat very close together in a booth, laughed and whispered in quiet voices, and at one point Lionel massaged Bai’s back. So SOMETHING is cooking here.

NICOLE RICHIE AND JOEL MADDEN HAVE DIFFERENT IDEAS ABOUT THE GOOD LIFE

Nicole Richie is getting restless. She’s not ready to settle into a quiet life in the suburbs with Joel Madden and their baby Harlow. She feels isolated living at Joel’s house in Glendale and she wants to be closer to her favorite places and friends. She and Joel talked about marriage but realized they have different agendas. He’s a workaholic and a homebody when he’s not working. Nicole has no intention of giving up her active social life just because she’s a mom. Lately she’s been staying at her father Lionel’s Beverly Hills mansion more than Joel’s house. AND she’s started going out with her girlfriends. She still sees Joel but he finds it hard to compete with her incredibly wealthy doting dad who pampers and pays her credit card bills.
