UPDATE: Billy says that his daughter is “going to be fine.”
Alexa Ray Joel, the daughter of singer Billy Joel and model Christie Brinkley, is undergoing treatment for what is being called a possible suicide attempt.
The 23-year-old singer/songwriter was transported to a New York hospital this afternoon after authorities received a 911 call. According to the New York Post, the woman on the phone claimed she had ingested some pills and wanted to die.
Alexa’s publicist says her client is currently in stable condition. “Her doctors are assessing her needs and that’s all we can say at this moment,” Claire Mercuri stated.
Billy Joel’s tour with Elton John was recently put on hold when John was hospitalized for the flu and an E. coli bacterial infection. It’s not clear how this family matter might affect the dates rescheduled for this February.

Howard Stern and Beth Ostrosky Wed
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Weddings,
After eight years together, shock jock Howard Stern and girlfriend Beth Ostrosky finally wed in New York last night. The two - engaged since Valentine’s Day 2007 - celebrated their nuptials in a star-studded affair.
Although the Hamptonites had originally planned to marry outside the city, the couple eventually opted for Manhattan’s Le Cirque restaurant. Ostrosky, 36, told People, “We’re going to get our friends together at a restaurant, very low-key.” (And by low-key, she meant only 180 guests.)
Celebrities present at yesterday’s ceremony include Joan Rivers, Donald Trump, Barbara Walters, Adam Carolla, Robin Quivers, Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman. Mark Consuelos, Kelly Ripa’s finer half, presided over the service while Billy Joel performed two songs.
This is the first marriage for Ostrosky and the second for Stern. Howard, 54, has three daughters with ex-wife Alison Berns. Alison was one of the topics of his autobiography (and movie) Private Parts.
