Her last break-up may have led to a suicide attempt, but Alexa Ray Joel hasn't given up on love.
Bad break-ups are hard to get over, sometimes impossible-feeling, which is why we have to admire Alexa Ray Joel's spirit.
After having a particularly heart-breaking year last year, in which she broke up with her long-term, bass-playing ex, Jimmy Riot, popped a lot of pills in a supposed suicide attempt, and made a visit to the hospital that was chronicled by every major newspaper, Alexa, 24, has reportedly moved on and has started dating again.
Her new beau is 24-year-old guitarist Cass Dillon, who was hired to play guitar on the aspiring singer's new album, reports LimeLife.com.
A bad breakup leaves you depressed and anxious. So what's normal sadness and what's real depression?
In December 2009, Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley's 24-year-old daughter Alexa Ray Joel was rushed to the hospital after swallowing a handful of homeopathic pain pills. But just as curious as Joel's behavior was the explanation she gave for it: a bad case of "Heartbreak-Related Depression." "Heartbreak-Related Depression" does not currently exist as a clinically diagnosable form of depression. So what was Joel suffering from? Heartbreak, depression or a hybrid of the two?
Alexa Ray Joel, daughter of Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley, was hospitalized in New York Saturday night after an overdose of homeopathic anti-inflammatory pills, and friends say she was upset by a breakup as well as stressed over her parents' rocky romantic relationships.
Breaking up is hard to do, especially for the rich and famous.
Celebrity divorces including Amy Winehouse vs. Blake Fielder-Civil, Kate Walsh vs. Alex Young, Christie Brinkley vs. Peter Cook, Charlie Sheen vs. Denise Richards, and Paul McCartney vs. Heather Mills, are just as messy as civilian splits, but they're far more entertaining.
Billy Joel and his third wife Katie Lee are over for good.
And after much speculation that their relationship was on the rocks—Billy Joel and Katie Lee are divorcing. The couple announced yesterday that they are officially separating with a statement from their reps that said, “After nearly five years of marriage Billy Joel & Katie Lee Joel have decided to separate. This decision is a result of much thoughtful consideration. Billy & Katie remain caring friends with admiration and respect for each other.”
Now that Christie Brinkley has dispensed with her nasty divorce from her revolting assistant-diddling fourth husband, Peter Cook, she's set her sights on a popular target for moms of a certain age: grandchildren. Christie says at 55, she's too old to add 31-year-old John Mayer to her list of conquests, but he should date her daughter, Alexa. "He's perfect dating material for my daughter," she said. "You guys could make beautiful music together." The Ultimate Bedroom Playlist
Restraining orders and 20/20 interviews are now being involved.
Just when you thought the war of words between Christie Brinkley and her ex-husband Peter Cook was over. Evidently, he's going on 20/20 to tell Barbara Walters about his shabby treatment and tell his side of the story. For her part, Christie Brinkley has gotten a restraining order and would like the court to look at their settlement again. Chuck Norris would be proud of his exercise partner's tenacity.
After front-page coverage in the NYTimes Sunday Styles section, not to mention almost two years on the brutal front lines of the legal battlefield, Christie Brinkley and Peter Cook have finally settled the terms of their divorce.
Peter Cook, evidently, paid his affair to keep quiet.
Christie Brinkley keeps on getting more and more divorce ammunition. She's already making the proceedings public and now we learn that Peter Cook paid his mistress $300k to keep quiet. He should settle like yesterday. On the bright side, his new girl likes him.
Christie Brinkley's divorce from Peter Cook could get ugly.
Christie Brinkley has launched a preemptive strike in her divorce from Peter Cook. She's successfully petitioned the court to make the proceedings public. Dirty laundry galore. Unless he settles. Which is probably a good idea at this point.
