Christie Brinkley Comes to the Rescue When Girl Suddenly Faints Before the Tony Awards.



With the 65th Annual Tony Awards just hours away, the action has already started at the Beacon Hotel in NYC! PresenterChristie Brinkley came to a young girl’s rescue after she suddenly fainted, while the supermodel was perusing the Audemars Piguet Green Room and Gift Suite on Sunday morning and OK! has all of the exclusive details!

“Christie was mid-interview with OK! about her ageless skin regime when a young woman, who was guiding the actress through the lounge, suddenly fainted and hit the back of her head on the hard ground,” a witness at the NYC event reveals to OK!.

The onlooker explained that the 57-year-old was the first one to tend to the girl on the floor and stayed calm as they waited for help to arrive.

“Christie gave instructions telling the woman to keep her head still and not to get up and even helped to place a pillow under her legs as they waited for the paramedics to arrive.”

The doting mother seemed like she knew exactly how to handle the situation, explaining that, “she had experience with treating people who faint because her daughter Alexa [Ray Joel]used to faint.”

Neil Patrick Harris will Host 2011 Tony Awards.


Neil Patrick Harris has officially been named host of the 2011 Tony Awards and if all goes well, he'll be flying high once the curtain goes up -- literally.

"Since they're closed for retooling, we're using all the rigging equipment from 'Spider-Man.' What could possibly go wrong," Harris joked in a press release.

Although this will be Harris' second go at the Tony hosting gig -- he hosted the show to rave reviews in 2009 -- we can't imagine that his none-newbie status takes off any of the pressure to perform.

"I'm honored and stoked to have been asked to host the 2011 Tony Awards," he said. "It should be a great show -- we've got a fantastic mix of live performances [and] a few secret surprises."
