Billy Joel checks into substance abuse and psychiatric hospital for 'personal problem'

Maybe his personal problem is that he, personally, is Billy Joel?

If you missed the Grammys -- and who can blame you? -- the second highlight (after the performance of "Lady Marmalade" that scarred me for life) was his duet with Tony Bennett. Bennett not only far outsang Joel, he looked younger; Joel appeared to be Bennett's portlier and less talented older brother.

Anyway, when you're checking into a facility that has previously hosted Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson, Liza Minnelli, and Gregg Allman, I think we all know what's up. I would wish him well but I find I don't really care.
