Alexa Ray Joel slams plastic surgery reports

Alexa Ray Joel may look a little different these days, but the daughter of Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley insists it's not because of additional plastic surgery.

The 28-year-old singer turned heads earlier this week when she performed a gig at New York's Carlyle Hotel, sparking speculation that she had gone under the knife. But Joel says aside from a nose job (to which she already confessed to undergoing back in 2010), she's all natural.

Joel took to Instagram to clear things up, attributing her sultry look to good makeup.


"On a personal (and slightly ridiculous note): I would just like to add that all of the continuously-circulating rumors that I have had extensive 'face-work' and undergone breast-augmentation surgery is simply and entirely 100% false," she wrote.

"The only thing I have ever had done is my nose, which I have always been completely candid, honest, and open about - and I can swear on my Beloved Gypsy-Stella The Cat that this is the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help me God! (But hey, there could be worse rumors circulating, so, I'll take it)," Joel added.

"Any visibly-positive alterations in terms of my public-image are an absolute and sole credit to my brilliant makeup-artist and stylist, @darlingcait ... Who is a true beauty-wizard and visionary. (That, combined with the fact that I actually have a hearty dose of self-confidence now - which took me a little extra minute or so to find.) ; )," she said.
