Christie Brinkley's Husband Told Teen Lover He'd Dump Wife

Monday , July 17, 2006

By Larry Celona and Dan Mangan

Christie Brinkley's hubby promised his 19-year-old secret lover that he would dump his supermodel wife for her, sources told The Post.

Architect Peter Cook, 47, plied Diana Bianchi with a car, promises to boost her singing career and bundles of cash so she could move out of her parents' home in Long Island, N.Y., and further "into his web," the woman's lawyer said Sunday.

Cook would bizarrely leave wads of cash stashed in random spots around Southampton, Long Island, — sometimes hidden under rocks — for Bianchi to find after he told her where they were via e-mail, sources said.

"She was a victim of this guy who preyed on her naivete, her immaturity, the fact that she's 19," said Bianchi's lawyer, Joseph Tacopina.

"There's just so many things wrong with what this guy did."

The lawyer said Cook openly talked to Bianchi "about wanting to leave" Brinkley.

Now, Cook will likely get his wish — but as the result of an expected divorce battle.

The Post has learned stunning new details of what led Brinkley last week to reveal that she was pulling the plug on her decade-old marriage.

Sources said Brinkley got wise to Cook's relationship with the much-younger woman after she was told about it by Bianchi's stepfather, Brian Platt.

Platt approached her at Southampton High School's graduation, where she was speaking, to drop the bombshell.

Can't wait to hear HIS side of the story.

She must have been spending too much time uptown, and not enough downtown.

If you know what I mean.

Check out her eyes, I wouldn't mess around with her, man. She is gonna take HIM DOWN!

And here's what the girl's attorney says at the end of the cited article.

"The issue here is what this guy has done to her. I think the harm will be irreparable," Tacopina said.

The things you do for love.

Ooops, looks like deja vu all over again.

Christie Brinkley’s Hubby Always Liked Teens

Christie’s Hubby Always Liked Teens

Dear Readers,

When I awoke yesterday to stories that Christie Brinkley’s hubby had cheated on her with a 19-year-old, I thought I’d entered Rocky and Bulwinkle’s Way Back Machine.

That’s because exactly ten years ago I wrote a similar story about architect Peter Cook. He was 37 years old at the time, and newly engaged to Brinkley.

I had the ignominious distinction of breaking the news that throughout the spring of 1996, whilst courting Brinkley, Cook was seriously dating a beautiful 19-year-old singer named Samantha Cole. She was from Southampton, New York, and her mother worked at the local police station. Neither she nor Christie knew anything about each other.

Twice that spring, Cook went to Los Angeles and asked Cole to marry him. The now 29-year-old model and singer refreshed my memory yesterday.

“Back then you were the only one who wrote about what happened,” she said. We had to laugh, as we were both in shock when we picked up the morning papers.

“Peter asked me to marry him in May, and in June he was engaged to Christie,” Samantha said. “Neither one of us knew about the other. I was very hurt...she met him when he was on the outs with me.”

Cole says that in the last couple of days Cook called her to say there would be renewed interest in their relationship, thanks to the new scandal. The similarities are striking: the new girl, Diana Bianchi, is 19, and her father is a cop in the very same police station. She was his assistant.

“He always liked younger women,” Samantha recalled. “When I met him, he’d just broken off an engagement to a woman about eight years younger. And there was another woman he dated in between us for a short time.”

Cole’s parents were just as unhappy at the time about her relationship with an older man. But unlike the new girl’s father, they felt there was little they could do about it.

As with Bianchi, Samantha started out as Cook’s assistant and worked her way up. The couple met on a boat owned by millionaire David Feld. Unlike with Bianchi, Cook was unmarried and had no children. With Brinkley, he has a daughter and a stepson, not to mention an older stepdaughter, Alexa Ray Joel, Brinkley’s daughter by Billy Joel.

But there’s one thing Cook does not have to worry about: Cole cashing in on his distress. She gave quick interviews to both People and the National Enquirer yesterday, but other that, she’s done. She had already planned to be part of a celebrity golf tournament this weekend at Mohegan Sun Casino, and she’s busy with her singing career.

Does she have advice for Bianchi for life after Peter Cook?

“All I can say is, I was pretty upset with him at the time," she said. "But I got over it and we became friends again.

A) she's 19 and a legal adult, so while it might not be to everyone's taste, it's nobody's business but their own.

B) there is no 'B.'

I am sure that the OP would agree with that statement.

Is she at least hot? I always felt bad for Hillary, getting cheated on with Monica Lewinsky.

Yes. But because he's in the public eye and it looks like he's going to be the subject of a public vivisection I thought maybe we'd see if there's anything about this that we can learn from.

19 is legal.

May - December relationships are not uncommon.

Celebrity divorce is commonplace.

Infidelity is too common.

Put them all together and add to that the prospect that we'll be able to witness his pain, well that should make this a favorite story for a long time to come.

As far as I'm concerned the only thing he did that is really tsk, tsk, tskable is that he broke his marriage vow.

Think ya got enough posts in Josh?

The reality of the situation is, we don't know anything about anyone in the story. It's easy to point the finger at the guy and say "scum bag!" but I've learned over my life that it's just not that easy... and many times... fair.

I'm not saying he isn't at fault, but unless I hear more of the story... I'm not going to cast judgement so quickly.

Cover the right side of her face and she looks evil and malevolent.

Cover the left side of her face and she looks wild-eyed and insane.

Cover the top half of her face and her smile looks like the Joker in the Batman comics.

Very interesting.

That never stopped anyone before. Of course Brinkley is now going to take him for millions.

Not to mention the 19 year old!

He is screwed!

Cody Dawg · Jul 19, 2006, 09:49 AM

Brinkley has a LOT more money than Peter Cook. She's probably worth $100 cool mil.

I met him at a party on Long Island and you could just tell that if you had him alone in the room and walked up to him and kissed him, slipped him the tongue, that he would totally go for it.

Of course, I looked hot that day...

Not like now, preggers and all...

WHile that maybe true that she has more money than he does, I doubt that'll stop her.

Didn't she leave Billy Joel because *she* was messing around with someone else? (Some dude she met in a helicopter crash?) It's funny how karma works.
