June 23: PJ Wine Spanish Wine Festival

Page Six grossed me out by mentioning how Billy Joel is dating a young woman who looks a lot like his daughter. I'm probably illin' from that because I watched a rerun of this bizarre episode of Law & Order SVU that involved child pornography, pedophilia, and sending Detective Stabler to Prague to about 15 minutes. Anyway, Alexa Ray Joel is a pretty young woman and probably looks like most other young women these days - blond, skinny, cute - so it doesn't seem that bad, except for the whole Billy Joel dating much younger women thing, which is par for the course if you're rich and famous. So thanks Page Six for continuing to be rabble rousing, occasional stomach turning, scoopers.
