Scenes from Splitsville

Hey, what a shocker? The marriage is over? No, really? She's a gold digger and he's a skeevy old man? Get out. Who knew?

Billy Joel and Katie Lee Joel have split. "After nearly five years of marriage Billy Joel & Katie Lee Joel have decided to separate," a rep for the couple tells Usmagazine.com. "This decision is a result of much thoughtful consideration. Billy & Katie remain caring friends with admiration and respect for each other."... Reports have linked Lee, 27, to 36-year-old Israeli-born fashion designer Yigal Azrouel, who has frequently escorted her to events. But a source tells Us that "had nothing to do" with the split and that Joel, 60, and Lee had just grown "apart" after five years of marriage.

Sure... It had nothing to do with it. OK.
