How do you re-do a classic?

Throw in Shania Twain and make it a country song!

Lionel Richie re-recorded his 1981 legend-ary Endless Love duet with Diana Ross by inviting the country star to sing him with in a new updated version of the song.

Shania needed a little convincing though…

She hadn't released any new music in five years and was suffering from a vocal condition called dysophonia.

Finally, she came around, thanks to a little coaxing from the master that is Mr. Richie.

And what came out of this magical collaboration is this music video (above). It's pretty much everything we've always wanted in a romantic duet: A serene beach, a white baby grand, and of course, a horse.

Get all romantical with your honey and ch-ch-check it out for yourself (above)!

What do U think of the new version??

She sounds absolutely AMAZING!

Such an inspiration, after all she's endured with her vocal problems and such!

Congratulations, gurl!

Last we heard from him, Lionel Richie had an elephant brought in for his daughter Nicole's wedding ceremony.

Guess he wanted to go out on a high note, because we haven't heard anything from him since.

Brooklyn, NY residents are clearly going through Lionel-withdrawal, because they've put up ads (above) which pay tribute to the singer who's been very quiet as of late.

Maybe this is a sign that the world needs more Lionel Richie!

What do U think, Lionel? Ready to make some more music for the people?

After hearing what insider's have had to say about Nicole Richie and Joel Madden's wedding this weekend, we can really only think of one weird to describe it :

Magical!

More details have emerged about the happy nuptials and we're thinking that this will go down as one of the weddings of the year!

Sources have shared some more interesting tidbits about the rumored Marchesa gown Nicole supposedly wore, claiming that the lace dress was in a very "80's style" and was a custom-made turtleneck dress.

Guests report that the couple insisted on an "Old Hollywood, glamorous feel to their wedding," with Joel forgoing his usual rocker look for something more classy. The wedding was said to be relatively small, about 130 people, with celebs like Gwen Stefani, Gavin Rossdale, Kris Jenner, Khloé Kardashian, Ellen Pompeo and Pete Wentz in attendance.

As for the wedding party, Samantha Ronson stepped in as a bridesmaid and Joel's brother Benji Madden served as the best man. Of course, as previously reported, the couple's daughter Harlow brought her cuteness to the event as flower girl and none other that Run-DMC's Rev Run officiated the ceremony!

And as for that rumor that Nicole's papa Lionel Richie had an elephant brought in for the ceremony, we're told that it's absolutely TRUE! It was apparently a huge surprise for his little girl!

Speaking of which, the highlight of the ceremony (at least the way we see it), was Nicole's walk down the aisle. Sources confirm the Nicole requested her father's 1986 hit song Ballerina Girl be played for the occasion! Then, at the reception, Lionel reportedly sang You Are to his girl and his new son-in-law!

So sweet! We've got tears in our eyes just thinking about how special that moment probably was.

FABOOSH, of course!

Today is rumored to be the big day! And we've got even more details about Nicole Richie's wedding. Nicole is all about style and she's making sure she looks her absolute best!

Nicole has chosen an "elegant" Marchesa gown with a price tag of $20,000. The dress is said to be a white, custom-made piece and when she and personal stylist Simone Harouche flew to New York last week for her final fitting, Nicole was said to be absolutely thrilled. According to a source, "it went very well."

Sources also say that Bryon of the Byron + Tracey Salon in Beverly Hills will be styling Nicole's hair.

As for her guest list, the ceremony is said to be small and intimate with just close family and friends. Most of her celeb-pals will be attendance, such as Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and Samantha Ronson (who is rumored to be a bridesmaid), however pal Christina Aguilera has said she will not be able to make it since she is in Europe promoting Burlesque.

Meanwhile, her precious daughter Harlow will be the flower girl. Awww.

Sources say that even though the wedding will be taking place at Lionel Richie's house, he will NOT be singing at his daughter's wedding. However Joel Madden loved the idea and is hoping for a family jam.

We'd LOVE to see that!

So far, Nicole's wedding sounds absolutely lovely and we know that coming from her, everything will be perfect! We can't wait to see the pics!

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden are rumored to be married at her father Lionel's house in El Lay this weekend. And the bride-to-be has some lovely plans for the big day!

A source claims:

"Nicole is going for a vintage and romantic vibe. The wedding will be true to Nicole's style. Nicole cut down the guest list because she didn't want a huge wedding.

She didn't invite a bunch of her celeb friends. This has apparently upset a bunch of people."

She is a class act. Can't wait to see the pics!
