Nicole and Lionel: Those Rowdy Richies

When you think of father-daughter duo Lionel and Nicole Richie, surely a few words spring to mind. Loud. Rambunctious. Troublemakers. Pugilistic. This weekend saw Richies pere et fille getting denied their right to party. First up, in the Hamptons, Lionel is like Guns n' Roses circa 1988, according to The San Francisco Chronicle:

Lionel Richie has been banned from performing in New York's Hamptons after locals protested about the noise.

Party promoter Scott Feldman planned to charge guests $1,250 each to watch Richie sing in the backyard of his rented home in the Long Island town of Sag tonight, reports the New York Post's gossip column Page Six.

But the newspaper claims requests for a permit were turned down after wealthy residents of the town -- where rocker Billy Joel also has a home -- stepped in.

$1,250 for a bit of "Dancing on the Ceiling"? Don't people in the Hamptons have better things to spend their oodles and oodles of money on? Like internet porn?

And baby girl Richie takes Daddy's lead one step further and causes a ruckus at a Las Vegas club. Apparently catfights burn more calories than a couple of hours on the elliptical. TMZ reports:

Looks like baby Harlow hasn't settled Nicole Richie's wild side yet.

We're told Nicole was involved in an altercation around 1 AM this morning with a female while in line at the valet outside the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas. Sources say Richie was so rowdy she had to be escorted off the property by security!

What could cause Nicole Richie to go all mini ape on another girl? Did her sparring partner suggest that she thought that Paris Hilton was prettier than Nicole? Because that would set anybody off, not just Nicole. Anybody like Chyna. Or Rupaul. Or Spencer Pratt.
