Billy Joel slams his recently announced biopic, “Billy and Me,” calling it “legally and professionally misguided."
In a statement to Variety, a rep for Joel said: “Since 2021, the parties involved have been officially notified that they do not possess Billy Joel’s life rights and will not be able to secure the music rights required for this project. Billy Joel has not authorized or supported this project in any capacity, and any attempt to move forward without it would be both legally and professionally misguided.”

A new #BillyJoel biopic titled “Billy & Me” is in the works:
• Directed by John Ottman, the film will chronicle Joel’s formative years before his breakout hit “Piano Man” caught fire in 1973
• The biopic will be told through the eyes of Joel’s first manager, Irwin Mazur, who discovered the singer in 1966

“So, when we tell him, do we do the thing?”
My bill to legalize peeling bananas has passed the house! current law made it functionally impossible to peel a banana at many daycares but seamless to open a bag of chips-my bill creates a separate class for healthy low risk foods like peeled fruit and veggies and ensures day cares aren’t punished for serving them - when laws are centered on listening to people who are most impacted by them (kids, parents and daycare workers-rather than lawyers and big corporations) we get better policy!
