Lionel Richie arriving at the Dorchester Hotel in London (7/17)

I'd like to think if I was rich and famous, I would be a father figure to 20-something model-types just like Lionel Richie. Bless his charitable heart. From the National Enquirer:

Lionel Richie has been dating a revolving door of beauties lately, all of whom look younger than his daughter Nicole! The 61-year-old singer winded and dined yet another gorgeous 20-something model-type at the Tower Bar at West Hollywood's Sunset Tower Hotel on Sept. 9. Big shot Lionel was overheard telling her: "Order whatever you want off the menu." (Print Edition - 10/11)

The fact that Lionel told his date she could order anything she wanted off the menu isn't that impressive. As a model, she probably just ordered a house salad as her entree . . . followed by her index finger for dessert. Let's just hope for her sake she was able to keep her alcohol down. Because sleeping with a 61-year-old Lionel Richie has got to be almost as soul-crushing as his music.
