I forgot to add this other bit of pretentiousness from this week's episode of GOOP:

The summer before last, a mutual friend brought the lovely Katie Lee Joel and her husband William over for dinner.

For a while, I didn't catch on to what was so pretentious about Gwyneth's statement but if whitby's assumption is correct, then I'd understand. Gosh, how many times has Billy Joel been married?

Marriages

Joel married his business manager, Elizabeth Weber Small, on September 5, 1973. She was the former wife of his music partner, Jon Small, in the short-lived band Attila. They divorced on July 20, 1982, though he kept her on as his business manager, a move that would prove to be a mistake, according to his Behind the Music interview, as her brother, Frank Weber, embezzled almost all of Joel's savings.

Joel married Christie Brinkley on March 23, 1985. Their daughter, Alexa Ray Joel, was born December 29, 1985.^[20][21] Alexa was given the middle name of Ray after Ray Charles, one of Joel's musical idols.^[22] Joel and Brinkley divorced on August 25, 1994, although the couple remain friendly.

On October 2, 2004, Joel married 23-year-old Katie Lee. At the time of the wedding, Joel was 55. Joel's daughter, Alexa Ray, then 18, served as maid-of-honor. Joel's second wife, Christie Brinkley, attended the union and gave the couple her blessing. Lee works as a restaurant correspondent for the PBS show, George Hirsch: Living it Up!. In 2006, Katie Lee hosted Bravo's Top Chef. She did not return for a second season, instead going on tour with her husband. She now has a weekly column in Hamptons Magazine, and is a field correspondent for the entertainment television show Extra.
