Christie Brinkley’s Ex-Husband’s Infidelity Confession

The Barbara Walters interview with Peter Cook, Christie Brinkley’s ex-husband, has stirred up all sorts of controversy between the couple (she filed an order with the court to make sure he doesn’t let their children see it when they’re in his custody), but it’s also riled the public. The controversy is similar to the one that brewed during Oprah’s “Why Men Cheat” series. Cook’s Confession Cook claims Brinkley’s lack of attention drove him into the arms of his 17-year-old lover. I can understand why he strayed. I believe lack of attention is a factor in why men stray. But I … Continue reading →

Sizing Up Brinkley’s Latest Divorce

So much for going after Liz Taylor’s record… Last week Christie Brinkley announced that she has sworn off marriage… for good… maybe. Seriously, the former supermodel, who recently took her cheating ex-husband Peter Cook to divorce court in what was considered one of the ugliest splits in Long Island history, says she is over the idea that marriage is forever. Did I mention Cook was Brinkley’s fourth husband? In the end Brinkley and Cook settled out of court with the gorgeous blond bombshell paying her philanderer ex $2 million in exchange for sole custody of their children. By all accounts … Continue reading →

Celebrity Updates: New Gig(s), New Home, and a Hot New Couple

Does Ryan Seacrest ever sleep? The “American Idol” host took over the title of “Hardest Working Man In Show Business” from Regis Philbin (who took it over from Dick Clark) months ago, and it looks like he’s living up to the billing. (If he’s not the “hardest” working man in show business then he certainly is one of the busiest.) Seacrest has just been tapped to host the 59th Primetime Emmy Awards, which is scheduled to air next month. The announcement comes on the heels of a prior declaration that Seacrest got the job of hosting the Super Bowl pre-game … Continue reading →

More Good, Bad, and Ugly Celebrity Tidbits

THE GOOD Good… no, make that great news for teen hip-hop star Lil’ Romeo. According to news reports, he’s bound for the University of Southern California and a potential career as a professional basketball player (that’s if all goes according to plan). Lil’ Romeo (his real name is Percy Romeo Miller) is currently a junior at Beverly Hills High School. On Friday his record label confirmed the teen musician has committed to playing basketball for the Trojans in 2008. I guess the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree because Lil’ Romeo’s father, hip-hop mogul Master P, had tryouts with … Continue reading →

The Hotel Wake Up Call—Not So Dreaded Anymore

How nice would it be if you were on away from home on a business trip and still be woken up by the sweet sound of your spouse’s voice? Or, better yet, the chipper voice of your 2-year-old happily announcing: “Wake up. It’s a sunny day today.” (That’s my toddler daughter’s greeting to me everyday–even when it’s raining out.) Be gone pre-recorded-robot-sounding hotel wake up call—it’s time for “Wake Up To Loved Ones.” This week Hyatt Hotels announced its new plan to make staying at their properties a bit more personal for its more than 500,000 Gold Passport members. The … Continue reading →

Celebrity Blog Update–Two Beautiful Women, Two Ugly Break Ups

Here’s an update on a couple of the celebrities I have blogged on in the past few weeks. Both are women I consider beyond stunning and both have been wronged by their significant others. The first is supermodel Christie Brinkley. By now I’m sure you know that her estranged husband, architect Peter Cook, has publicly admitted that he had an ongoing affair with his teenage office assistant while the couple was married. When word got out that Cook not only bedded the teen, but also wooed her with extravagant gifts and money, Brinkley and her children fled their Hampton’s estate … Continue reading →

Beautiful Female Celebrities and the Husbands that Cheat On Them

I have never had to worry about being beautiful. Even at my best moments – a formal event, my wedding – I only pass for acceptable. So when I see beautiful women such as Christie Brinkley and Halle Berry, I think it must be great to be so beautiful and with that beauty comes no worries. Boy, was I wrong. In case you haven’t heard, Christie Brinkley and her husband of 10 years, Peter Cook, just separated. The appalling reason is why they separated. Married to someone that is no doubt one of the most beautiful women in the world … Continue reading →

Why Christie Brinkley Kicked Her Husband To The Curb

A few days ago I blogged about Christie Brinkley’s surprise split from her husband of 10 years Peter Cook. At the time of the announcement no reason was given for Brinkley’s decision to file for divorce. Now, a New York newspaper says it has uncovered the reason why Brinkley kicked her husband out of their Hampton mansion. The New York Post reports that Cook has been having an affair with a 19-year-old who he allegedly promised he would dump his supermodel wife for. But, that’s just the beginning of what the paper reports is a long list of “poor decisions” … Continue reading →

Christie Brinkley Splits From Husband No. 4

“Christie Brinkley and her husband are splitting up??!! No, it can’t be true.” Did you react the same way when you first heard the news? My astonishment is sincere (although, I can see where someone could interpret it as mock exasperation). I truly am saddened that the children of Brinkley and her fourth husband, architect Peter Cook will have to deal with the fact that their parents have decided to “go their separate ways” after 10 years of marriage. “Yes, it’s true. The couple has separated,” the Cover Girl model’s rep said in a statement. She went on to say, … Continue reading →
