Lionel Richie performs on stage during his 'Coming Home' tour concert in Zurich, Switzerland, 28 April 2007. EPA/STEFFEN SCHMIDTThe singer believes his adopted daughter - who will stand trial on Wednesday (11.07.07) as a result of her arrest for DUI (driving under the influence) last December - is just acting like any typical 25-year-old.He said in an interview with the USA Today newspaper: "She keeps apologising to me. I told her, 'You're doing exactly what you're supposed to be doing to your father at this age.' "The 'Simple Life' star - who pleaded not guilty to the charge at a preliminary hearing - could be jailed if she is found guilty because of a previous DUI conviction from 2003.Lionel, 57, added: "She's just in an unfortunate situation."The pop legend also thinks today's stars are subject to far more scrutiny than he ever was when he shot to fame in the 70s with Motown band the Commodores.He said: "There's just so much information out there right now - MySpace, cell phones, the internet. If we had had all that when the Commodores were around, God only knows what my mother and father would have seen."(C) BANG Media International

'Typical 25-yr-old'!!! Most people I know at that age have already graduated from college and are on their way with a good job. But, of course, Nicole doesn't need to 'work' - lots of time to party!
