Open Post: Hosting By Lionel Ritchie Admitting He Can No Longer Go “All Night Long”
One of the most popular songs of the 1980s, Lionel Ritchie‘s ambitious song about partying into the wee hours of the morning All Night Long, officially turns the big 4-0 this year. And though the song is still played at cookouts and wedding receptions, fueling nostalgic drunkenness for all in attendance, Lionel recently made a claim about a different all-nighter he can no longer perform. As someone who’s in bed by 10:30pm, I would have to say Lionel is not the only one whose dances (or doing anything else) ’til daylight days are done.
The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame’s 2022 Nominees Include Dolly Parton, Eminem, And Lionel Richie
This morning the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced their seventeen nominees for 2022’s Hall of Fame induction. The shortlist includes Dolly Parton, Eminem, Lionel Richie, Dionne Warwick, Pat Benatar, Duran Duran, and Kate Bush. Sounds like a fantastic hypothetical dinner party. If anybody got too big for their britches (Simon Le Bon), Dionne would tear them a new asshole. Then she’d order Kate Bush to ease the tension by dancing. And Kate totally would (Babooshka-stylez), because nobody says no to Dionne. Continue reading
A Picture Of 71-Year-Old Lionel Richie And His 30-Something Girlfriend Has Raised Some Eyebrows On Twitter
I think we may now know why Lionel Richie didn’t have shit to say about his then 19-year-old daughter Sofia Richie’s decision to shack up with a man almost twice her age. Sofia has since moved on from her age gap relationship with Scott Disick, but Page Six reports that a photo of Sofia’s 71-year-old pops and his 30-something girlfriend, lifestyle blogger (that’s an Influencer who landed a big fish) Lisa Parigi, recently threw “Twitter into a tizzy” as fans reacted to their 40 something year age gap. If they think that’s wild, wait until they find out that Lionel and Lisa have been dating since at least 2014. You do the math! No, seriously, please help, I barely passed Algebra I.
Katy Perry “Collapsed” Due To A Potential Gas Leak On “American Idol”
Do you smell that? No, seriously, you guys. Do you smell it? It’s a clip from the next episode of American Idol, where there’s a dramatique gas leak! But what you’re smelling isn’t gas, it’s the Oscar, Emmy, and Tony that Katy Perry deserves for giving the performance of the decade with her dramatic fall that’s making every past Oscar winner hand over their award to her like, “I’m not worthy of this.‘
But yes, American Idol’s still a thing, and the eighteenth season premiered last Sunday, with returning judges Katy Perry, Luke Bryan, Lionel Richie, and forever-host Ryan Seacrest. In a preview clip for this week’s episode, Katy complains about smelling gas, and no it wasn’t from Ryan cutting one.
The Fashion At The Country Music Awards Wasn’t Rhinestoney Enough
These country music stars are just not wilin’ out like they used to. This year’s red carpet at the Country Music Association Awards was tamer ‘enna a mule caught a nibblin’ in the marijuana patch. In fact, the only person on the red carpet to go full Nudie was the yodeling Walmart kid, who I guess is country famous now. You know, I yodeled in a Walmart once and never got invited to the CMAs. Of course I was yodeling through there with a quickness and headed straight for the bathroom; road-trip coffee diarrhea is nothing to joke about. For the most part, the ladies kept it simple with selections from the Gunne Sax prom collection, and the gentleman chose one or two items from the Sheplers catalog and paired them with black jeans. Of course, there were a few stand-out looks.
Open Post: Hosted By Mariah Carey Throwing More “American Idol” Shade
If Mariah Carey re-wrote the lyrics to Dionne Warwick’s song “That’s What Friends Are For,” her version would include this lyric:
And as far as I’m concerned
You should consider getting a new agent if they pitch you that trash American Idol
Mariah was on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night to promote her new Las Vegas residency, The Butterfly Returns and was asked by Jimmy if it was true that she told her friend and current American Idol judge Lionel Richie to not do the show when he was offered it. Mariah had an awful time on Idol, fought with fellow judge Nicki Minaj, and said she’d never do it again. Mariah answered:
“If I didn’t, I should have.”
Mariah quickly apologized before pretending she had no idea that Lionel was a judge on American Idol, asking “Is it going well for him?“. Only Lionel can answer that question. But one thing is for sure: any future contestants hoping to audition with Mariah’s “Hero” will automatically be given a lyrics sheet to “If You Had My Love” by Jennifer Lopez.
