Who knew Lionel Richie was such a comedian?

His wickedly funny daughter, Nicole Richie, says she gets her comic talents from her famous daddy.

“He and I have very similar senses of humor,” Nicole told Confidenti@l while promoting her new VH1 show, “Candidly Nicole.” “He’s one of my favorite people to have on the show. Like me, he is down to be the butt of any joke as long as it’s making people smile and laugh.”

Good thing, because a clip from an upcoming episode shows her quizzing the “Dancing On the Ceiling” singer about whether he uses Viagra. In the first episode, which aired Sunday night, Richie père got roped into teaching his daughter to parallel park.

“I’m so comfortable with him,” says Nicole. “We have that very comfortable banter. He’s always down to have fun.”

The gift from her father has come in handy for the reality star, who got her break as the comic foil to Paris Hilton ’s jaded brat in “The Simple Life.”

A spy tells Confidenti@l that Phoenix and the “40 Year Old Virgin” actress were dancing together for around half an hour while a DJ played. “They were trying to be incognito,” said the onlooker. “But it looked like they were having a good time.”


LEA MICHELE, ONE YEAR LATER

The July 13 anniversary of Cory Monteith’s death is bringing back the pain for his former lover Lea Michele, so perhaps it’s for the best that she’s taking a break in Italy with new man, Matthew Paetz. Monteith’s mother, Ann McGregor, had no hard feelings about the “Glee” star’s vacation. “I mean, you see the sadness. I know her pain,” McGregor said, one day before Michele and Paetz were snapped aboard a boat off Positano, Italy.

MEXICAN DINNER SERVED COLE

Jay Z protégé J. Cole was spotted grabbing Mexican to go. The “Born Sinner” rapper dropped by Dos Caminos in Midtown with his bodyguard and some pals in tow.

NAMING NAMES ON ‘THE VIEW’

Conservative columnist and talk-radio host Debbie Schlussel says she’s in the running to join Whoopi Goldberg on “The View.” “I would challenge a lot of the people on the show,” she tells The News’ Reuven Blau. “Whoopi always tells people that the Redskins name offends a lot of people. I would tell her that as a Jewish-American, (her) using the last name ‘Goldberg’ mocks Jews. I would ask her if she’s going to change her stage name.” Schlussel says a producer contacted her about the job on July 2. “It was really out of the blue,” she adds.
