Since I've been converted into a loyal Richie Ren supporter recently by his adoring fans, I have been spending all my waking hours in the last three weeks researching my newest idol. Finally my devotion paid off. I have learned from a highly reliable anonymous source that Richie is planning to change his name from "Richie" to "Dick," the other short form of the name "Richard." My source explained that Richie wants to go for a more mature image, and as the name "Richie" sounded a bit too childish for that purpose, the decision was made to become a "Dick." My source quoted Richie as saying: "Although Richie is a very nice name, I like Dick. I plan to make the announcement early next month." All Richie fans can look forward to chanting "We love Dick" shortly! Exciting news!
