Alexa Ray Joel Is Still A Romantic
After supporting her mother Christie Brinkley through a difficult divorce last year, Alexa Ray Joel is now lending support to her father, Billy Joel, who is separating from his wife of five years, Katie Lee Joel. Alexa Ray told Us Weekly she "wasn't surprised" when her father told her about the split.
'I have a pretty good women's intuition, so I can tell,' she said. 'I know my dad pretty well, so I’m behind him.' "
So after seeing her parents struggle with marriages, what are Alexa Ray's thoughts on marriage for herself?
'I am a true romantic - I would love to get married,' Alexa Ray told Us. 'The government doesn't necessarily have to get involved. You can just
celebrate your life and have a wedding and have it big and fabulous and
not necessarily complicated, with the papers and all that. Having seen
what I've seen, I'll be skeptical, sure, but I will be having a
wedding.' "
Given what she's seen her parents go through, I'm not surprised Alexa Ray has this outlook!
What do you think: is the legal institution of marriage still important?

Billy Joel And Katie Lee Joel Split
Oh NO!
After looooooooooots of cheating rumors swirling around regarding Katie Lee Joel and designer Yigal Azrouel, she and husband Billy Joel have split. Who knows if the rumors were true or if the pressure was just too much for them both to take.
"After nearly five years of marriage, Billy and Katie have decided to separate," reps for the pair said in a joint statement.
"This
decision is the result of much thought and consideration. Billy and
Katie remain caring friends, with admiration and respect for each
other."
But, reps for the couple say that Yigal had nothing to do with the impending divorce, and their friends say the same.
"Their decision to separate was absolutely unrelated to Yigal," Joel's spokeswoman, Claire Mercuri said.
"It
was really the age difference that caught up with them," said a friend
of the couple. "They grew apart. She is very career-oriented. She loves
going out. She loves the city. When Billy isn't touring, he'd rather be
on Long Island with his motorcycles and boats."Still, the friend added, "I can't imagine the stories about Yigal helped."
One ally of Lee said, "Billy is no one to talk. It wasn't like he was a monk when he was on tour."

I'm pretty sure that we are going to get to see a full spread of these wedding shots over the next few weeks thanks to one of the rags. But in the meantime, here is a quick shot of Beth Ostrosky walking into Le Cirque restaurant where she married shock jock Howard Stern last night.
It looks like Beth was carrying black lilies?
Guests included Joan Rivers, Barbara Walters, Donald Trump, Chevy Chase, Billy Joel and wife Katie Lee, Jimmy
Kimmel, Sarah Silverman, Kelly Ripa and Stern's radio co-host, Robin Quivers.
Mark Consuelos officiated the ceremony.
Jimmy and Sarah eh? Perhaps those rumors of a reconciliation are more solid than we thought.
In case you haven't heard, Beth has a 5.2 carat diamond engagement ring. HEY NOW!
