Alexa Ray Joel Is Proud She Looks Like Dad
Christie Brinkley and Billy Joel’s daughter Alexa Ray Joel responded to Perez Hilton’s story about her looks in a posting at her Myspace page on Sunday (April 29). “I know it’s ridiculous, and I should have a thicker skin by now and just plain NOT CARE, but I can’t help but be a little bummed out because the incredibly cruel, bullying Perez Hilton (this tabloid guy who calls himself the ‘queen of media’) just put up a horrible picture of me on his site and basically in so many words called me ugly, or rather, wrote that I’m ‘not that bad, actually, I’m just no supermodel’,” she explained. “I just feel like saying: ‘YES, my mom and I look completely different, and I’m OK with that. I like that I look unique, or more “exotic” – I don’t want to look like everybody else, and I also don’t want to look like a supermodel–I just want to look like ME!’ (sorry if this sounds like a repeat of my last blog, but I just have to VENT)… Oh well, I guess that’s a part of the crap that comes with the industry – those sites LOVE putting bad pictures up, and everybody has a few unflattering shots – especially on the red-carpet! I’m still not comfortable posing on it, and (who knows?) maybe I never will be, but I’m just so OVER being compared to my mom looks-wise! I’m happy to have a lot of my father’s features (especially his eyes and lips) – I think he’s very handsome, and I’m quite sick of hearing people call HIM ugly – I think he has a very soulful face – the face of someone with character and integrity – who has LIVED, and has something important to say.” Read more.

She really is homely. I am sure she is proud that she will inherit her Dad’s money—the looks I’m sure she wishes she did not inherit!!!!
