The divorce proceedings between Christie Brinkley and her fourth ex-husband, architect Peter Cook, are over. We think. Yesterday the couple, who married in 1996 and have two children, appeared in a Long Island courtroom to snipe viciously at each other while a judge attempted to bring them to an agreement in a custody dispute over daughter Sailor, 11, and son Jack, 14. Their respective lawyers reportedly came to an agreement around 2:30 a.m. Tuesday.

Brinkley filed for divorce from Cook in September 2006, alleging that he cheated on her with an 18-year-old office assistant. In return, Cook called Brinkley … Read More

Marriage is hard work, we know, but sometimes a couple can put everything they have into making their relationship work, and it still goes bad. And then it gets worse, when it comes time to divide up kids, pets, and that signed vintage copy of Thriller that you swear was originally yours. It turns out that Hollywood's famous faces really are just like us, as we’ve seen in the horrible mess Nas and Kelis have gotten themselves into. Famous people's divorces are nasty, mudslinging affairs, but damned entertaining ones.

Now that Christie Brinkley has dispensed with her nasty divorce from her revolting assistant-diddling fourth husband, Peter Cook, she's set her sights on a popular target for moms of a certain age: grandchildren. Christie says at 55, she's too old to add 31-year-old John Mayer to her list of conquests, but he should date her daughter, Alexa. "He's perfect dating material for my daughter," she said.

You remember when that architect had sex with his 18-year old office assistance instead of his supermodel wife? And then she was really mad.

Well, prepare for another round of hubbub about Peter Cook and Diana Bianchi's affair, the hush money, and his subsequent divorce from Christie Brinkley. Old duder has himself a date with lovely Barbara … Read More

After front-page coverage in the NYTimes Sunday Styles section, not to mention almost two years on the brutal front lines of the legal battlefield, Christie Brinkley and Peter Cook have finally settled the terms of their divorce.

Peter Cook got his teenaged assistant. Christie gets custody of the kids, and better yet, the Hamptons real estate. With a measly check written out to her now fourth ex-husband for $2.1 million, she can wipe her hands clean of her 12-year marriage. If only we could all claim that kind of closure.

Against all better advice, Peter Cook decided not to fold his hand and now his divorce from Christie Brinkley is in a real, live, public, divorce court. The fireworks began today as, according to the New York Post, Cook admitted that he hired teenager Diana Bianchi with the intention of getting her in the bed. Mission accomplished, dingus.

Evidently, Brinkley's legal team seeks to paint Cook in the most negative light possible and in the month that the trial is to progress we'll hear about Cook's every indiscretion from up to 60 witnesses. In this … Read More

Well, it's looking like this Christie Brinkley divorce from Peter Cook may go on as planned. And Brinkley wants the young lady that Cook hooked up with to testify. But back in March of 2007, Cook paid Diana Bianchi $300,000 not to sue him for sexual harassment AND to keep quiet about their affair. The Improper reports that Bianchi held up her end of the bargain for a little over a year and that she wants to break into show business at some point. We didn't realize that hush money had such a short term. Maybe … Read More

In a move that is likely to precede an out-of-court settlement, Christie Brinkley has won the right to make her divorce proceedings public. According to FoxNews, estranged husband Peter Cook was trying to keep the whole affair (get it?) private for the sake of their 2 young children. Which is code for "I don't want my kids to hear about all this shady stuff I'm into. I like them thinking that I'm pretty awesome."

The shadiness involved but was not limited to hooking up with an 18-year old in the Hamptons and dating Brinkley and singer … Read More
