Lionel Richie

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.

The singing legend’s 19 year old model daughter Sofia made her relationship with 34 year old Scott public last month, having been spotted together locking lips by the poolside in Miami before being spotted just this Monday in Puerto Vallarta in Mexico enjoying a holiday.

Disick, who has three young children with Kourtney Kardashian (Mason, 7, Penelope, 5, and Reign, 2), has dated a succession of significantly younger women since his now irrevocable split from the reality star over two years ago.

How did you react when Adele dropped her video for ‘Hello’ on Friday? Did you watch it on repeat, cry tears of joy or maybe just make a meme that ended up going viral?

If Lionel Richie’s epic Glastonbury performance showed anything, it was that the legendary motown star can still go all night long - something he’s clearly desperate to do again after announcing a residency in Las Vegas in 2016. Lionel Richie - All The Hits will begin in April next year and will be the start of 20 shows in May, September and October for the Dancing on the Ceiling singer as he asks his audiences ‘is it me you’re looking for’?

He’s done it! As was indicated mid-week, Lionel Richie has indeed secured the Number 1 spot on the UK Albums Chart. We reported on Wednesday that the 66 year old headed up the mid-week charts for the week ending July 5th, and now he’s secured his first British chart topper in 23 years with The Definitive Collection.

The greatest hits compilation originally enjoyed a chart peak of Number 10 when it was first released in 2003, and climbed an incredible 103 places from last week to become the highest seller in the week after his tremendous Glastonbury performance last Sunday.

Richie played a hit-packed set to rapturous crowd of more than 100,000, as well as the millions of TV viewers watching at home. The so-called ‘Glastonbury effect’ on chart sales clearly worked like a charm for the legendary soul singer.

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'. The record has debuted at the top spot on the US Billboard Chart, making Streisand the first singer to have a number one album in six consecutive decades. 

Streisand (72) is continuing to break records in the music world

Her first album to reach the top spot was 'People' back in 1964, and she has gone on to have a further nine reach number one in the US, including her latest one. With her ten number one albums, she is now tied for fourth place with the most number one albums alongside Elvis Presley. Ahead of her are The Beatles (19), Michael Jackson (13) and Bruce Springsteen (11), but Streisand is still the most successful female artist. She has also scored six number ones in the UK album chart and thirteen in other countries. She has also achieved five number one singles, her last being 'Woman in Love' which was released in 1980.

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.

Despite the typo, the ceremony and musical tributes marched on.

Even though his name was repeated multiple times during the show and we’re guessing BET staff know how to use spell check, someone still misspelled Richie’s name as Ritchie on screen. 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.
