Alexa, 23, took several pills after a breakup with her boyfriend. She was "distraught" over an argument at time time of the incident.

Billy Ray Joel still lets Alexa sit on his piano, but now she sings for him.

Billy Ray Joel didn't go to the hospital where Alexa was staying, avoiding the paps perhaps, but he did stay in contact with her by phone. Her mother Christie Brinkley stayed at her bedside.

Since Alexa's release, she's been staying at her dad's house. People magazine claims the cause of Alexa's hospitalization as "a reaction to herbal medication." Nice spin. The "reaction" occurred after her breakup with her boyfriend. Coincidence? Alexa has also said that she can get in a very dark place. She's emotional.

Now that Alexa's family and friends have discovered what she's possibly capable of, I'm guessing she'll be showered with love and she'll be in a better place now than she was before.[source:Poponthepop.com]
