There are several really gross parts to this story, so I’ll start slowly. First, there’s Alexa Ray Joel, the 23-year-old daughter of Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley. I think Alexa’s pretty, in that pale, bug-eyed, Anne Hathaway kind of way. So, Christie Brinkley is Alexa Ray’s mother, and as such, Christie is interested in setting up her single daughter with someone nice. Now, let’s stop right there – Christie Brinkley rather infamously went through her fourth divorce, to Peter Cook, last year after he was caught having an affair with his very young assistant. I’m not saying the affair was Christie’s fault, I’m just saying that she’s been married and divorced four times, so maybe she doesn’t have the best taste in men. But that’s not stopping Christie from playing matchmaker… and how. She wants to set Alexa up on a date with… John Mayer.
Rocker John Mayer has the approval of former supermodel Christie Brinkley if he ever wants to date her daughter Alexa Ray.
Newly-single Brinkley admits she’s quite fond of the singer/songwriter herself but insists her “cougar days” are over when it comes to dating toy-boys.
However she says, “He’s perfect dating material for my daughter… You guys could make beautiful music together.”
Singer/songwriter Alexa, 23, is Brinkley’s daughter by rocker Billy Joel.

Jeez, Mom. Aim higher, right? I would be totally offended if my mom wanted me to date John Mayer. Alexa Ray is by no means so unfortunate that she has go for John “Bottom of the Barrel” Mayer. This just speaks volumes about Christie – her taste in men isn’t just bad, it’s epically horrible.
This story just make me thankful my mom knows my taste in men, and she’s rooting for me to meet Gerard Butler, even though Gerry doesn’t really float her boat. Even though it’s a little gross, I don’t think my mom would even mind George Clooney as a son-in-law, although he’s closer to her age than mine. But I think my mom’s heart was broken when Matt Damon ran off and married Luciana, and didn’t even call my mom to see if I was available. Matt was the one who got away, for my mom at least.

…Evidently she takes after her father.
ummm – why?
Why because Christie is such a good judge of character when it comes to men!!! She had ALL douches AFTER Billy Joel! Why not mess her daughter’s love life with the likes of John Mayer!!!!
John Mayer would be the LAST man I would want my daughter to date! Christie really must not have very good judgment – even from the sidelines. And poor Alexa – she did not get any of her mom’s genes in the looks department.
The girl is 23 and she’s capable of deciding who she does or doesn’t want to date. Why jump all over Christie Brinkley? Yes, she has poor taste in men, but she loves her daughter and wants only the best for her (though her advice on that score is certainly not the best).
I just youtubed her. Holy crap, that girl can sing!!!!! I don’t like her writing, but that voice, wow. Maybe Mayer could write for her. Other than that, avoid him, Alexa.
Alexa is quite pretty in person. Yet (not photgenic) Christy well, fell and bumped her noggin.
that alexa can singgggggggg!
(ignore the obvious )
Clearly, Christie does not read the tabloids!
Ok. I really don’t think it’s very fair to point out that she doesn’t take after her mom “in the looks department”.
So what?? What’s your point? She’s still a really pretty girl. Why would you pity her?? Because she’s not blonde and blue-eyed like her mom?? Please elaborate, because I don’t quite understand it.
And in as far as dating John Mayer? No.
She’s not so bad, but the famous statement re an imagined cross between Einstein & Marilyn Monroe does come to mind; what if the resulting baby gets her brains & his looks? Still, BJ is no Einstein & CB is no Marilyn.
On another note, it’s always obvious within the first few lines when you’re reading a Kaiser thread. Chances are there’s either some form of Brangelina worship or least a swipe at those perceived to be AJ enemies. Then, if all else fails there’s typically something about her imagined boyfriends. Hell, at least it makes for a fun read.
NO NO NO!!!! John Mayer is prob crawling with STD’s! Why would she want him for her daughter! YUCK!
Given the man is talented, but he’s a man-whore! Ugh!!!
@nanster, exactly….JM yucko!
Rofl.
Wow, steamed much? It had nothing to do with her not being blonde or blue eyed. Did I say I pitied her? Can you not read?
Lots of question marks floating around…
She’s cute, but I wouldn’t call her “really pretty”. The dark combo doesn’t look exotic or pretty on her, more weird.
I love Alexa Ray’s shoes. I wonder who makes them. That almost made me forget how F’ed up it is that anybody would want their daughter dating John Mayer
@ annie – lmao, so right. It’s actually a weird similarity.
Why in the world us my post still awaiting moderation? There’s absolutely nothing, rude, inappropriate or even negative.
Her daughter bears a striking similarity to Nicole Ritchie.
Mom needs to work on her own love life rather than mess with her daughter’s.
Yikes, Christie has been in the plastic surgeon’s office!
Poor Alexa Rae for having such a vain, self-centered mother.
Christie needs to put down the cocktail glass.
Most kids that age do not want Mom playing matchmaker. She should be slapped for embarrassing her daughter.
Well she will have stand in line behind men and stupid women. Christie must not love her child.
I’ll bet Billy Joel would not let her any where near that d-bag.
I think most kids don’t want their parents to EVER play matchmaker.
And she’s 23 for goodness sakes, girl is old enough to find her own man.
the poor girl must have high self esteem and christie wants it to be beaten down…he’s such a jerk!
she must hate her daughter:/
I think Alexa’s better looks better than Christie. I never found her pretty. I must be the only one though. Anyway. Let the girl live, Christie. I don’t think your help will be welcome to her anywhere other than the dinner table.
This is a great thing for Alexa-
in my experience the last guy you want to date is the guy your mom wishes you would.
And I quote: “And poor Alexa – she did not get any of her mom’s genes in the looks department”.
One doesn’t usually say “poor” anybody if they don’t pity them.
Yeah, that did kinda tick me off. I stand by my comment though.
I personally have never found Brinkley very attractive. Alexa on the other hand is attractive because she has a very interesting look.
That being said, this article has nothing to do about her looks but her mother being a vapid clothes rack who should really keep her opinions about her daughters dating to herself.
LOL. I didn’t say that so *shrugs* Whatevers then.
Matt Damon was the one that got away for me too. I *love* him. He’s absolutely perfect.
Alexa needs to cut and condition that hair. It is atrocious.
I agree with Jessy, ChristinaT and Mommy. Alexa is Godess gorgeous, while her mother Christie is ho-hum run of the mill bottled botoxed blond and she knows it. This is why she wants her daughter to date a player like John who would probably offer an STD plus break up after a week or two and torpedo her self esteem. I have a hunch that Alexa has more brains than her mother; she inherited intelligence from her father, as well as her exotic beauty.
Ok, with that Christie Brinkley your daughter may just be better off picking her own boyfriend.
What I’m struck by most is just how different this mother and daughter look. If you didn’t know it, you’d never think they were even related.
That being said, yeah, mom has horrible taste in men. I hope Alexa Ray doesn’t listen to her, why does she want her daughter to get herpes???
Annie, you’re a complete moron. That is why there are question marks floating around you.
Christy needs to hope off the white pony and read a(ny) gossip blog, magazine, or even catch a show. Mayer = Paris Hilton Man.
that girl can sing, um, in a piercing dog whistle kind of way, sure.
“She wants to set Alexa up on a date with… John Mayer.”
Holy cow.. the woman needs serious psychiatric help!
She looks so much like her dad!!
OMG, Alexa Ray Joel is BEAUTIFUL ! WTF is wrong with some of you people?
Her Mom is obviously stupid/sick if she thinks Mayer is a match for her daughter.
PERHAPS its just a ‘sound byte’ to arouse interest in her singing???????
Oh, who cares anyway. F**K Osama Bin Laden…..
Very pretty girl…nice outfit…bad shoes and Christie Brinkley as a relationship advice source for anyone is a scary idea…
Going to look her up on YouTube to check her singing now…
my guess is that Brinkley is absolutely steamed that her precious little angel is not the superstar Brinkley thinks she should be and either publicly suggested Mayer as a bf either to get some extra undeserved press for her daughter and/or actually thinks that relationship would be good for Alexa Ray’s career.
I totally love John Mayer but he is a player and Alexa is a sweet young lady that deserves a man that is not a player. He has been around the block a few times.
Alexa is gorgeous and her mom is ill advised. No doubt.
This is like sending Lil Miss Riding Hood to the Big Bad Wolf. He will chew her up and spit her out! What is Brinkley thinking?
