Christie Brinkley

Long before he ruined her life by browsing swinger sites and boffing Diana Bianchi, Peter Cook was the perfect husband in Christie Brinkley's eyes.

The two were a classic Hamptons couple - handsome, beautiful, stylish, rich and happy - as seen below at a cocktail party back in 2005.

OR WERE THEY?

Is this actually a picture of the former spouses, or merely a wax replica of Brinkley and Peter Cook immortalized in the East Hampton Wax Museum?

Yet another chick linked to that assbag Peter Cook since his breakup with Christie Brinkley will be unveiled at his divorce hearing this week.

Bridget Nisivoccia is a pretty, blond interior designer who told the New York Daily News she was hired to design Cook's home in Sag Harbor, L.I.

She is expected to become part of the blockbuster trial this week when another witness discusses Nisivoccia's connection to Peter Cook.

The 36-year-old Nisivoccia joins a growing list of women in Cook's life since his 10-year marriage to Christie Brinkley dissolved in 2006.

The source did not say Peter Cook and Bridget Nisivoccia were involved.

However, Diana Bianchi also worked for him, remember. Just saying.

Insisting there was no railing by Cook going on, Nisivoccia said: "We have mutual clients and share a professional relationship and a respected friendship."

Even though her divorce trial with Peter Cook is beyond ugly, Christie Brinkley is extending an olive branch to the mistress who came between them.

After a long day on the witness stand Thursday, Brinkley told reporters she wanted to let Diana Bianchi know that she forgives her.

"I'd just like to say that I can't help but think about Diana Bianchi, and I want her and her family to know that I feel really badly for them," said Brinkley. "I feel bad for her and forgive her completely. She was manipulated."

Christie Brinkley also added of Thursday's testimony, "today was really difficult reliving the horror (of what happened two years ago)."

A source says that on Wednesday, the day the trial commenced, Diana Bianchi went up and approached Brinkley's daughter, Alexa Ray Joel (whose father is Brinkley's previous husband Billy Joel) outside the courtroom to apologize.

"Diana Bianchi said to her, 'I am sorry for all the pain I have caused you and your family,'" reports a New York Daily News source.

"Alexa then hugged her and said, 'We have all been through a lot.'"

The humiliating, public skewering of that bastard Peter Cook and his obsessions with sex and online porn is expected to resume Monday.

At Day Two of the sensational Christie Brinkley-Peter Cook divorce trial, the supermodel sobbed repeatedly, describing how he ruined her life.

But, Cook, who smirked and whispered into his attorney's ear throughout Brinkley's teary testimony, said his wife was just putting on a show.

"Shrek was more believable," he quipped during a recess.

Among the details Christie Brinkley revealed, sobbing:

• Peter Cook offered to pay women he met online for sex.
• Brinkley, a blonde, found a black hair in their bed.
• Their son, Jack, stumbled upon porn stashed on his computer while doing research for a school book report.
• Distraught, Cook threatened suicide after his affair with Diana Bianchi, his teenage assistant, was exposed.

Christie Brinkley then revealed how she learned the news after delivering a commencement address at a high school in the Hamptons in June 2006.

The high school grads were collecting their diplomas - with Peter and Jack Cook cheering Christie on - when Diana Bianchi's step-father approached her.

In tears, Brinkley testified:

"Suddenly, I heard these words ... I heard him say, 'That husband of yours just won't knock it off. He is having an affair with my teenage daughter and that bastard won't knock it off and I have to come to you.'"

"I said, 'What did you say?' At this point my eyes were fading out around the edges, this tunnel vision in a way," Brinkley said. "I looked at Peter and he was just going 'no' and I thought to myself 'it's true, he did that.'"

Wednesday, Peter Cook detailed the affair with Diana Bianchi, also took the stand, calling their "mutual." She said they had sex fewer than 10 times.

She says Peter Cook nude photos were posted on swingers websites while the shady Long Island architect went looking for young women.

He says Christie Brinkley was more concerned about going to public events than raising their two children, Jack, 13, and Sailor, 9.

Yes, the divorce trial between the estranged Christie Brinkley and Peter Cook officially kicked off today and it's already getting ugly.

Christie Brinkley's lawyers say Peter Cook loves him some online porn (spending $3,000 a month on it!), once masturbating in front of a web cam and regularly frequenting escort and swinger sites, all while married to Brinkley.

Brinkley also alleges, among many other things, that son Jack accidentally found naked pics of young girls on Cook's computer. The lawyers have also highlighted Peter Cook's felony cocaine conviction and the time he served in jail.

Cook and Brinkley split in 2006 after he had an affair with his assistant, Diana Bianchi, who was 18 at the time - and is scheduled to testify. He has admitted that he slept with her - and paid her $300,000 to keep quiet about it!

Also expected to testify: Carri Lyn Ciamarra, a fitness model who allegedly began dating Peter Cook right after his split with Brinkley.

In addition to battling for custody of the two children, the estranged spouses are also expected to wage a war over their jointly held properties and more than $3 million in material items, according to the New York Post. Stay tuned.

Diana Bianchi, the teenage home-wrecker who destroyed Christie Brinkley's marriage in 2006 is going to testify at her upcoming divorce trial.

Not surprisingly, she's lawyering up hard beforehand.

Bianchi ate breakfast with lawyer Rosemarie Arnold, reports the New York Post, at East Hampton's Maidstone Arms on Sunday.

They were prepping to talk about her affair with Peter Cook.

Having been subpoenaed, Diana Bianchi will have to speak about it under oath even though she reportedly got paid $300,000 for her silence.

Carri Lyn Ciamarra, a fitness model who said she had a "relationship" with Cook after he split with Christie, is also expected to testify Wednesday.

No word on if Samantha Cole, 31, will testify about her supposed affair with Peter Cook back in 1996, when he and Brinkley were engaged.

Yes, 1996. Peter Cook? Not un-shady.

Aspiring singer / teenage mistress Diana Bianchi will testify in the upcoming divorce trial of Christie Brinkley, her lawyer confirms.

Diana Bianchi, then 18, was the woman at the center of the sex scandal that ruined the marriage of Brinkley and Peter Cook in 2006.

"She is looking to move forward in her life and regain her anonymity," Bianchi's attorney, Rosemarie Arnold, said.

"She has pursued a career in music by choice. That choice has nothing to do with Christie Brinkley or Peter Cook. She wants the media to respect her privacy."

Before we answer the question posed in the headline, we probably need to respond to the inquiry on the minds of most readers:

Who the heck is Diana Bianchi?

Bianchi is the (very, very) young woman at the center of the nasty Christie Brinkley/Peter Cook divorce. The former model's lawyer has requested that the aspiring singer - who Cook admitted to having an affair with - take the stand during their upcoming divorce trial, set to begin July 2 in Long Island.

Diana Bianchi wanted to make it as a singer. Instead, she's making it as Peter Cook's mistress.

In response to a possible court appearance by Bianchi, Peter Cook's attorney, Norman Sheresky, told People Magazine:

"Since Peter admitted [to an] affair two years ago, dragging in Bianchi is just one more example of Ms. Brinkley's thirst for revenge. Peter has moved on with his life. She should do the same."

We disagree. For the sake of celebrity gossip followers everywhere, we think this battle should continue in public for many months to come.

Supermodel Christie Brinkley wants all the salacious details from her divorce battle with jackass ex-husband Peter Cook - who she says trolled Internet porn sites, including swinger sites in search of women - to be public.

Lawyers for Christie Brinkley, 54, filed a motion for the proceedings to be made public in New York Supreme Court Thursday afternoon.

She split from Peter Cook, a 49-year-old architect, after it was revealed he carried on a year-long affair with 18-year-old assistant Diana Bianchi.

Christie Brinkley's cheating ex-husband, Peter Cook, was a regular Coley Laffoon - a regular patron of online porn sites - the model's laywers say.

"I'm sorry. I'm contrite. Stupid. Foolish. No excuse," Peter Cook said.

But Brinkley wants the case publicized because "she's still spitting mad at Cook," a source told Access Hollywood.

Peter Cook and Christie Brinkley have been involved in a custody battle involving their children Jack, 13, and Sailor, 9 (pictured above).

The stars came out to see Long Island native Billy Joel perform at Hampton (Social) @ Ross Saturday night. On hand were two of his favorite ladies: ex-wife Christie Brinkley, with whom he remains on good terms, and their daughter, singer Alexa Ray Joel. See below:

We would never have guessed that Billy Joel's daughter would be a certifed cutie, but her mom is a supermodel, after all. We heart Alexa Ray Joel. Not just because she's pretty, either - it's nice to see a famous family that's not entirely dysfunctional!

The entire five-show summer concert series, in which mega-artists perform at the Hamptons' Ross School for small, intimate crowds, opened with Prince and closes with Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers. Tickets for the Billy Joel concert started in the thousands.

Also in attendance were talk show goddess Kelly Ripa and her hubby, Mark Consuelos, Mary-Kate Olsen and troubled 30 Rock star Alec Baldwin, among others.
