Odds and Ends: Could you shut up, Lionel Richie is trying to work here


Lionel Richie performed at English soccer player John Terry’s wedding this week and he wasn’t too happy about some of the players reactions to his songs:


A witness said: “It was really embarrassing. Toni was looking very anxious about the lads making a real fool of her. When he started singing Hello the boys started chanting back to him as if they were on the football ground terraces. They had downed so much champagne at the reception the guests became really lairy and started shouting over his set.

“In the end he asked the crowd to be quiet and said, `I’ve only got two more songs, please stick with me.’

“When he came off stage he moaned to one of the organisers, `I imagine this is what it’s like at a working men’s club’.

Maybe Lionel is just on edge because his daughter has been knocked up by some dude from the worst band on the planet? (Via The Offside)
