Billy Joel’s 23-year-old daughter Alexa Ray was rushed to St. Vincent’s Hospital on Saturday after attempting suicide by ingesting a bunch of sleeping pills. The New York Post says

Medics were called to Alexa Ray Joel’s Bethune St. apartment in the West Village at approximately 12:21 p.m. [on Saturday]. A female caller told a 911 operator that Joel had taken several pills and wanted to die.

Cops are treating it as an attempted suicide.

“Alexa is stable. Her doctors are assessing her needs and that’s all we can say at this moment,” said Alexa’s and Billy’s personal publicist.

Joel was conscious at St. Vincent’s Hospital, and is expected to survive.

Well, this certainly was a long time coming. Just look at her. Her mom’s Christie freakin’ Brinkley, and she looks like something you’d get when you cross the Elephant Man with a pug with hydrocephalus. I bet she could even make blind kids cry.

Shopping in Manhattan on Sunday after being released:

60-year old singer Billy Joel and third wife Katie Lee, 27, are getting a divorce. The Examiner says

Joel’s rep said: “After nearly five years of marriage Billy Joel & Katie Lee Joel have decided to separate. This decision is a result of much thoughtful consideration. Billy & Katie remain caring friends with admiration and respect for each other.

But of course, there’s more to all this than mutual admiration and eternal pledges of friendship:

The 60-year-old singer has been jealous of his wife’s relationship with another man.

Is anyone really surprised by this? Here’s a beautiful woman entering her sexual prime, and he’s a goblin with old man penis. A rich goblin with old man penis, yes, but still a goblin with old man penis nonetheless. Too bad you can’t diddle a woman with your bank account.
