Billy Joel -- NY Restaurant State of Mind

Posted Jun 16th 2009 5:00AM by TMZ Staff

Billy JoelA box of chocolates, a dozen roses ... or an Italian restaurant in the Hamptons -- not all gifts for the wife are created equal.

Sources tell us Billy Joel is looking to buy his wife Katie Lee the aforementioned Italian restaurant, and we're told he's eying a spot in Sag Harbour, NY.

Katie Lee, who is four years older than her stepdaughter Alexa Ray, is a chef in her own right and served as the first host of Bravo's "Top Chef."

And now a snippet from Billy's "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant"...

"A bottle of white, a bottle of red
Perhaps a bottle of rosé instead
We'll get a table near the street
In our old familiar place"

18. So, because she hosted some cook-off show, she's qualified to own a restaurant? Oh, yeah. She's just really loaded now that she married a big old sugar daddy.

21. no she's not a chief, but she hires people that make her look like one. Today perception is more important than TRUTH. Yes, she is 4 years older than her step daughter. Billy Joel couldn't find a woman his age to marry, because woman his age have more sense and do not put up with the crap he dishes out.

22. She is a chef? I know she wrote some cookbook...weird considering she was so awful on the first season of Top Chef...way out of her league..that's why they replaced her with Padma.

***********************************************

She WAS on Top Chef. She was the first host and was replaced by Padma because she was so boring that listening to her was like watching paint dry. We used to call her Katiebot because she was so stiff and robotic. I certainly hope Billy is getting his "money's worth" from her in bed, since all he has done is "purchase" her temporary affection. Old men are so pathetic .
