Katie Lee Joel canned from Top Chef

by Joel Keller, posted Jun 21st 2006 3:10PM

Billy Joel and Katie Lee JoelApparently, Katie Lee Joel is much better at marrying super-wealthy rock stars that are more than twice her age than hosting cable TV shows. According to this report, the wife of rock legend Billy Joel will not return to the just-announced second season of Bravo's Top Chef. Fans of the show didn't really appreciate Lee's (I won't say "Joel's", because I respect Billy too much) performance as the host of the show, calling her "robotic" and "wooden". No replacement has been announced as yet.

Well, guess it's back to keeping that delirious smile on Billy's face.

Please, please, please don't give us some B hack like Kathy Griffin. The show is good as it was, we don't need any over the top hosts.

Why was the show good, because it was about cooking and actually featured the chefs, albiet sometimes in stupid situations (gas station food), but nevertheless, even that was interesting to see what they would make.

I'm sure the producers will ruin this show. Oh, why not get the food guy from Queer Eye?

I agree ... I can't wait for Top Chef 2 and a new host!

I didn't realize that she was married to Billy Joel! She was a horrible host and I am glad to hear this news.
