Christy Brinkley and Peter Cook - Don't Believe the Hype!

Contrary to what most news agencies are reporting, the REAL Hamptons folk are not "abuzz with talk" about the Brinkley-Cook divorce.  That is so old-news!!

What I think is sad about this whole mess is the media coverage - (and I'm totally not diggin' that Peter's new gal-pal is taking her 15 minutes of fame at this time....really - Suzanne, must we pose for the press in a ridiculous grasshopper stance and defend Peter's actions?!?!  Be a good mommy and fly under the radar - that would be so much more dignified!!)  Now, about the children and the harm.....first damage done was Peter's mid-life crisis fling with a 19 year old - OUCH!! - there really is no upside there...kids, internet - all out there for them to see.  In all fairness, he drew that line in the sand....and it was crazy on so many levels - wasn't he just a bit naive to think he could get away with that in a small town married to one of the most famous women in the world????

At this point in the game, it would be nice for the children, if they just abided by the pre-nup (don't get greedy Petey), split custody and move on.  The children are loved by both, they are living a privileged lifestyle and I'm sure would love to keep all the dirty laundry inside the family vault.  It's fair to say: both Christy Brinkley and Peter Cook "light up" when the children are around - these are not neglected children in the love department - they are truly loved by both.

I spoke with a friend from California last night and she commented that "even though Christy Brinkley is smiling for the cameras, she looks like she is really sad and angry towards Peter Cook"....ummmm, well, isn't that a given??  She has every right to be angry (and disappointed and sad and lonely, etc.)- isn't she allowed human emotions???  I'm kind of ticked off at him and I wasn't even involved in the relationship!  Most local mommies have a not-so-nice nickname for him (not repeating that here).........I think Suzanne (his current squeeze) may be in the minority defending his honor - it definitely isn't helping her image.

He screwed up.  He's moved on.  He's a good daddy.  She was screwed.  She's moved on.  She's a good mommy.  Isn't that all that matters now. 

That's my 2 cents - for all it's worth!
