Did I read this right on Yahoo news today? He brought us Dancing on the Ceiling and Hello. What does this have to do with some no talent Nicole Richie? Isn't Nicole Richie white and Lionel black? Am I missing something here?

Yep you are the only one! lol
Seriously, her mother married Lionel Richie and he adopted her so that makes him her father. But obviously he's not her biological father.

She is his adopted daughter. He and his then wife Brenda Harvey-Richie adopted her when she was 9. Her real mother was an assistant on a Lionel Richie tour in 1980. Her father has been reported to be Pete Escovedo, a Latin drummer - however, Nicole Richie denied this in Jane magazine. She apparently is of Caucasian, Latino and African-American heritage. Michael Jackson is her godfather and she defended him when the latest allegations of sexual impropriety on his part emerged.

She was adopted by Lionel Ritchie as a young child. Her natural father was a band member of Lionel's. I read somewhere that she stayed with Lionel's family a lot while her parents were gone away, so they just adopted her. She is of mixed race, 50% white, 50% black.

I knew. I saw him in an interview talking about how her natural parents didn't look after her properly so he and his wife adopted her. I think they were in his band.
