02/10/2007 - Lionel Richie - Beverly Hills, CA © Chris Hatcher / PhotorazziThe 'Dancing on the Ceiling' singer - whose own adopted daughter Nicole entered a California rehab facility for heroin addiction in 2003 after being charged with possession of the drug - believes too many stars check into facilities for trivial reasons.Lionel said: "I think it's a cliché to say, 'I'm going into rehab. I bumped my foot today - rehab, I hit my head on something - rehab.' "The 57-year-old maintains his own daughter needed to go to rehab and some showbiz pundits believe his comments were aimed at stars who visited rehab after making bigoted comments.One publicist said: "It seems to me that he's referring to Mel Gibson or Isaiah Washington. If that's the case, that's really unfortunate."Nicole is currently awaiting a court hearing after being charged with Driving Under the Influence.The 25-year-old has pleaded not guilty despite confessing to the officers who stopped her while driving in the wrong direction on a California highway that she had smoked marijuana.(C) BANG Media International

Come on - what a heading!!!! It doesn't sound like Lionel was 'ranting' - only stating a fact as he sees it. Just another sensational headline - for shame!!!!!
