Lionel Richie Scott Disick

With the recent revelations that Sofia Richie is dating Scott Disick, her father Lionel Richie has given his thoughts on the situation – and said exactly what basically everybody else is thinking.

It's not easy to be a pioneer in music nowadays, but Barbra Streisand seems to have managed it with the release of her thirty-sixth album 'Partners'.

Lionel Richie John Legend Pharrell Williams Yolanda Adams

Lionel Richie’s Lifetime Achievement Award ceremony during the BET Awards on Sunday was moving, inspiring and… wrong. Well, part of it was, anyway. Richie received musical tributes by Pharrell Williams, John Legend and Yolanda Adams, each of whom performed a song by the soul legend.

Before the mistake was noticed or acknowledged, Twitter took the typo and ran with it. The misspelled name quickly started trending on the website and many people seemed unaware of the mistake.
