Lionel Richie Too Loud For The Hamptons....

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 (£625) each to watch Richie sing in the backyard of his rented home in the Long Island town of Sag Harbor on Friday night (04Jul08), 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.
