Music legend Lionel Richie recently had a little fun at his daughter, Nicole Richie's, expense. The singer was speaking at the TV Land Awards where he was being honored with the Icon Award when he had a few words to say about Ms. Richie.
Said Lionel: "Forget about surviving 40 years in the music business. Just surviving 27 and 1/2 years of Nicole Richie has been a struggle and a half." Richie went on to say he was a survivor for all the parents out there.
Nicole got her first shot at fame as Paris Hilton's sidekick in Fox television's The Simple Life. She later made more of a notorious name for herself spending time in jail (all of 82 minutes) after a conviction for driving under the influence of drugs. You may recall she was pulled over after rambling down a one-way street the wrong way. Now Nicole is known more for her three-month-old daughter Harlow than she is for her hard-partying ways. I'm sure Grandpa Lionel is ultimately very proud of her for being able to turn everything around--and giving him what parents always want--a grandbaby!
1. This week on http://www.dashinfashion.com/ we are featuring Nicole Richie's interview on her new brand - House of Harlow - named after her daughter Harlow.
House of Harlow will launch in the States this autumn, and will start off as a jewelry range, but will grow into a collection of childrenswear and accessories.
Nicole recently partnered up with Signorelli to create T-shirts benefiting The Children's Health Fund where they raised $400,000 to fund building for mobile units that will provide immediate health care.
Sounds like there is lots to be proud of!
