Just a few days ago, we knew nothing about Alexa Ray Joel aside from her lineage.

The daughter of musician Billy Joel and model Christie Brinkley was thrust into the spotlight on Sunday when she had the temerity to respond to a picture of her posted on PerezHilton.com.

Venting via her myspace blog, Alexa Ray called Perez "quite dangerous," and was sickened to see commenters "picking apart the appearance" of her "8 year-old sister".

Today the singer, 21, has clarified her opinion for Usmagazine.com:

"To paraphrase my father, he always said: 'don't take any crap from anybody.' I've had a lot of people advise me in this industry to get a thicker skin and turn a blind eye to the vicious trends of the tabloid publications and blog-sites, and their dangerous effects on young women, and society in general. But if I were to follow their advice, and do nothing, I feel I would only be perpetuating something which I believe to be fundamentally wrong. I stand by my original posting."
