Dancing with the Stars / GiphyĪs you watch Sailor dance in the video below, you’ll also be amazed to see how well she did after having just a few days to rehearse. Since she was seated next to the stage, Sailor walked over to her at the start of the dance and handed her a pair of sunglasses she used as a prop.Īfter Sailor’s performance, Christie expressed how “ proud” she was of her daughter. It was then revealed that she would be dancing the foxtrot, and that her partner was two-time champion Val Chmerkovskiy.Įven though she is now in a cast, her mom was watching from the audience, and was even incorporated into the routine. There was surely a lot of pressure resting on the young model as she hit the stage on Monday night. Unlike the other celebrities, who had weeks to prepare their debut routines, Sailor only had a few days to perfect her moves to her “Uptown Girl” dance. And i think you are all going to have a blast together on this season of ! Sorry for the typos it’s my right arm! And Sailor Thank you for taking a very disappointing turn of events into something very special! you know Showbiz is all about getting a break and I guess you can say Sailor and I both got one on this season of #family #familyfirst #challenge #doitforlove #fearless #brave #dare #justtry #silverlining #dauntless #dance #lemonaid #gowiththeflow #carpediem #seizetheday #formom #TeamSailaV #c’est la vie! #teambrinkleyĪ post shared by Christie Brinkley on at 7:45am PDT I just broke my arm into a 1000 pieces requiring surgery with a metal plate and screws to hold my arm together.Im so sorry if I’ve disappointed anybody! Only something as bad as this could stop me from continuing to dance with my wonderful coach for …I was having a blast!!!! Shattering my arm was quite literally a crushing disappointment, i never ever want to let anyone down…so I looked for a silver lining and i think I found one that is is solid gold! Sailor! But first I would have to convince Sailor to replace me.she was already on the plane to come sit in the audience when I reached her! (Alexa has commitments in NY including her upcoming Cabaret Show at the ) I also had to convince my student/ Sailor to overcome serious stage fright to replace me on the show! Sailor always meets her challenges head on and realized she did not want to be defined by her fears so with just hours to learn my routine she is turning my defeat or should i say two left feat into her own victory of courage! So Ladies and Gents I give you my beautiful Sunflower Sailor Lee. It seems that even divorce wasn't enough to break up the couple's friendship.Sailor Breezes In to Save the Day! Hey My Friends! So here’s the news. She still looks remarkably good for a woman her age, and Billy Joel helped the world realize it.īrinkley apparently loved the attention, and poured accolades back on the singer with a caption on her Instagram photo, "He's still got it!" The moment may not have rekindled the old flames, but the model showed her appreciation by posting a snapshot of the concert to Instagram. Watch: Billy Joel dusted off his old dance moves to serenade Christie Brinkley with "Uptown Girl" It seems the video was his way of winning her over. That man as we all know was Billy Joel, who had married Brinkley two years later. She had been made to look relatively well-off in an expensive gown as she made her way around town, followed by what appeared to be a working-class man with a crush. The model and actress was sitting in the front row at his concert and ended up being the subject of the entire audience's attention by the end.īack when Billy first wrote the song, he had actually written it about then-girlfriend Elle MacPherson, but when it came time to film the video in 1983 it was Brinkley who received the original serenade. Christie Brinkley was the "Uptown Girl" once again for ex-husband Billy Joel in Madison Square Garden on August 7.
