Damn......I love my dog....great minds and all that! If I hadn't had to pick DD up for a feed........

This sounds really sad, but I saw an interview with them on Oprah when I was on maternity leave in the US and they looked so loved up and really really happy!

She was showing Oprah round her gold plated bathroom that she'd designed herself (OK so she's lacking in taste a little), and was plugging some cookery book that she had written...

Yet they still managed to look like they really did like each other regardless of the age difference!

Dumbledoresgirl · 18/06/2009 17:06

I tell you, he was lovely. That interview has stayed with me for all these years. Looks aint everything girls.

cocolepew · 18/06/2009 17:08

Themadhouse, he's a multi-millionaire. I think that helps.

CrushWithEyeliner · 18/06/2009 17:08

He must have a humungous penis

cocolepew · 18/06/2009 17:08

Bloody hell, she's lovely

YanknCock · 18/06/2009 17:08

At least they're being dignified and not making scenes like you'd see in an italian restaurant.

brendaAndEddie · 18/06/2009 17:17

brendaAndEddie · 18/06/2009 17:58

ThomasPrusikParkin · 18/06/2009 18:01

the kitchen etc should have been nice but something was just so wrong. all those neutral colours add up to a big neutral nothingness

pointydog · 18/06/2009 18:02

he is an arse

coolma · 18/06/2009 20:52

I love Billy Joel. Cry everytime I hear 'just the way you are'(written for his first wife) not so keen on uptown girl (written for his second wife) ..er..is there a pattern here? My fave is 'This night'. Oh I am so so sad, could probably name them all

southeastastra · 18/06/2009 20:55

i imagine billy lives in an apartment with beige carpeting on the walls.

and a nice cocktail bar in the corner.

pointydog · 18/06/2009 20:56

I imagine he struggles to make conversation

brendaAndEddie · 18/06/2009 20:56

JackieNo · 18/06/2009 21:00

Not sure I even know who his (soon to be ex) wife is. But the music is fab.

coolma · 18/06/2009 21:00

brendaAndEddie · 18/06/2009 21:02

It's hard to keep a good man down. But he won't be getting up today.
