A Baby for Billy Joel?

Billy Joel’s wife, Katie Lee Joel, says they want to have kids.

“We talk about it, but we don’t have a timetable,” Katie says, adding, “I am such a family-oriented person, so I really do see that in my future.”

Katie, 26, made an appearance at Godiva Chocolatier in L.A.'s Century City Mall to promote her upcoming cookbook, The Comfort Table, and to give customers tips on Valentine’s Day recipes and entertaining.

Katie’s already got some baby names in mind. “I have a whole list!” she says. “I’m always thinking about cute names. I always say that babies are the new Birkin. They’re the hottest accessory right now. Everybody has to have one.” (Billy, 58, has one daughter, Alexa Ray, with his second wife, Christie Brinkley.)

But for the time being, Katie is thinking about her culinary career. She hosted the first season of Bravo’s Top Chef, and she has showed off her cooking skills on Martha, Today, The Early Show and Paula’s Party.

Yes, Katie wants her own show now.

“I think that would be the next step,” she says. “I would love to be able to get on TV and cook my own food...I’ve had meetings about it and have things in the works, so we’ll see.”
