Alexa Ray Joel speaks very candidly about her decision to get a nose job in April of 2010. She said her nose “always bothered me a little bit. I was self-conscious of pictures taken from the side. To some people that’s vain, but at the end of the day, we all want to feel pretty.”/gallery/alexa-ray-joel-oct-2010/

In 2011, Alexa Ray Joel admitted to getting an STD from her ex,
“I had HPV. But I mean, a lot of people get it from my ex. I mean it was fine, you know. There are no side effects. You just go and get it taken care of.
I wasn’t angry with him, because it’s so common and he wasn’t cheating on me. I mean I was living with him; I saw him everyday.
I was wanting to help him with his drinking and various things and a lot of women do that, particularly with older troubled men; you want to be this young little angel that’s gonna help them, and it’s a mistake.”/gallery/alexa-ray-joel-june-2011/
