Surprise, surprise: 27-year-old Katie Lee wanted to go out on the town more than her 60-year-old husband Billy Joel. Following the couple's divorce announcement, the NY Post spoke to sources close to the couple, who told the paper, "It really was just an age thing. She loves the city, she loves to go out and have fun and he prefers to stay at home. The age difference didn't seem to be a big deal seven years ago [when they met], but it has become one as they got older. They just grew apart." Meanwhile, she's been locking arms with designer Yigal Azrouel all over town, as Joel prefers to stay close to home with his motorcycles and yachts. As for the money, there's allegedly an ironclad prenuptial agreement, though Katie Lee will likely get the couple's Greenwich Village townhouse, which Joel bought for $5.9 million just a few years ago. Joel's daughter Alexa Ray, just 4 years younger than his soon-to-be-ex-wife, told People she saw it coming, "I have a pretty good woman's intuition, so I could tell."

Third time's not quite a charm after all. Rumors of Billy Joel's third marriage ending are true, a rep of the musician confirmed to the NY Post. Katie Lee Joel, his 27-year-old ex-wife-to-be, has been seen around town many times with designer Yigal Azrouel, though there's no official word if that relationship had anything to do with the split. A rep told ET, "After nearly five years of marriage, Billy and Katie have decided to separate. This decision is the result of much thought and consideration. Billy and Katie remain caring friends, with admiration and respect for each other." The two were married for five years, and the divorce will put Joel back on the market at age 60. Meanwhile, according to a recent poll, 57% of women regret marrying their husband.

It's probably never good to wake up and see your significantly younger wife's face in the Daily News in an article sprinkled with your very own song titles like "Movin' Out" and "It's a Matter of Trust." Allegedly the 27-year-old Katie Lee Joel has been cheating on the 59-year-old Billy Joel with fashion designer Yigal Azrouel. A source told the paper the two have been together for a while, and “Katie often stays at their apartment in NYC alone, while Billy likes to live in their Long Island home. They’re rarely together. And Katie likes it like that. She wants her freedom.” The crooner has heard of the designer, whom he at first assumed was gay, and the relationship rightfully has him furious. The source adds that Azrouel has “slept with several high-profile female fashion editors. It’s understandable that everyone would think he’s gay, as he’s a man of fashion in NYC, but he isn’t." Most recently, Katie (sans wedding ring) and Yigal were spotted together at a Museum of Natural History gala.

           

The aroma of cooking meat wafted as far as the BQE from the NYC Wine and Food Festival's Rachael Ray Burger Bash last night. Throngs of meat-lovers descended upon the Tobacco Warehouse to sample 18 burgers and vote (by text message) for their favorite.

It might have been gloomy and drizzling outside, but inside of BLT Fish, at the first annual Crab Festival to benefit City Harvest, the mood was festive and the crabs were plentiful. Three floors of crab dishes as far as the eye could see -- crab legs from the BLT Fish raw bar, a Peekytoe Crab Salad from Bouley, a Crab Summer Roll with Chilled Crab Soup from Riingo, or Aunt Rae's Blue Crab Soup from City Crab, and many more.
