Lionel's Train of Thought

Grandpa-to-be Lionel Richie was leaving Koi last night and the topic of conversation was, of course, pregnant daughter Nicole.


One photog asked the aging crooner how he felt about Nicole's pregnancy, to which he smiled and said, "I'm happy, babe!" One might even say he's dancing on the ceiling!

Just before he got in his car, another photog asked Lionel what special song he'd dedicate to his daughter -- he chose: "Three Times a Lady." She was barely eating for one before she got pregnant -- three might be pushing it.

Did Lionel Richie actually say this or did TMZ say this. Sure hope it wasn't her dad,

Just curious why these TMZ writers add the word "aging" to anyone over 40. Seems like an unnecessary slap. Would you prefer that everyone die at age 35?

#1 love your comment, about aging in Hollywood ! We are used good's once we hit
the big 40... Hollywood is only interested in Youth !!! That's why Americans spent a Billion dollars last year on cosmetic procedures... Look at Robert Redford, He is growing
with age lines and All.! My opinion, this makes him sexy, not that pulled screwed up look
that Mickey Rork sporting these day ,,,Yikes he looks bad :(((

Beauty is only skin deep! Love yourself and feel comfortable in Your own Skin!
Fake is never good. Being an Original is much better

Celeb News by E!:  1648 days ago

Our sources say that Lionel is very happy about his daughters "being with child" and is a very supporting father, as he has always been. We are also told that he may have been spotted in the Destin, Florida area, where he has a condo, asking around about wedding venues and providers. Maybe the beautiful beaches of the Emerald Coast will get their celebrity wedding anyway- even after the talk of Usher's fell through.

Thats the scoop.

Democrats are evil:  1648 days ago

I don't know what he is so proud of. He raised a spoiled child who drinks, parties with drugs and almost killed herself and someone she didn't even know by driving the wrong way on the freeway. Now she's pregnant, unmarried, anorexic and looking forward to a weekend in jail. As a father, it looks like he just doesn't give a damn about anything she does. Now that's what I call a "Loser". Or should I say "Grandpa Loser". A rich Liberal, please don't judge me loser. All you Godless Democrats in Hollywood are all the same. Raise your children properly! Yes I'm judging you!

# 7 Kate, Please Don't Be so Fast To JUDGE ! Everyone of Us here have or had
Skeleton's in Our Own Very Closet! Let's face it, Life can be stressful --- we all have made our share of mistakes! I wish, people were not so eager to alway's look for the bad in someone! That's how we learn is from a mistake or two! Maybe, by having this child? this will completley fill her volved. She was adopted don't forget! That has issue's
within its self! Nicole could have choosen to have an abortion,,,She instead choose
to have this baby! Remember, good marriages make a baby and by having a baby doesn't make for a good marriage! Wedlock or Marriage doesn't change the fact they are going to have a child together! Pray for Her and Her unborn child!
Life is about Lova and Forgiveness! I am 46 old female and let me tell anyone reading these threads? Life is a test and its what we make of it! Stop the Blame and start living
your life to its full potential ! Becasue, Your life can be over in a blink of an Eye!

Live like You are Dying !!!

Thank you #4 Gina. I wonder if these TMZ writers/editors realize that as they sit there in their superior, youthful 20-something arrogance, they realize that even they are aging.
