Of course, why trawl the Japanese tabloids when all you need look at is the news coming out of Central Islip:
She was a model witness.
Christie Brinkley laughed, cried and flashed those baby blues at her heel of a husband Thursday as she told how her “picket fence” marriage collapsed in a “nightmare” of infidelity and Internet porn.
Now that, friends, is how you’re supposed to start an article.
Going through the news, some things that come to mind:
- US$3,600 a month on porn? With that kind of money, you’d think you’d just go the Eliot Spitzer route and pay for the real thing.
- If you’re beating off in front of a Web cam, my guess is, you’re not doing it either “privately” or “secretly.”
- Sure, she might not seem like the brightest light in the house, but Diana Bianchi — the poor victim in this case — did manage to get gifts, a US$50 an hour job and US$300,000 in hush money for her services, which apparently amounted to having sex ten times.
- Now, being from East Islip — which is to say, I was one of only a handful of kids in my high school graduating class whose family name didn’t end in a vowel —I thought I was something of an expert in this matter, but really, does Ms. Bianchi look Italian to you?
- OK, this was funny: “We tell you, Christie Brinkley should have never split up with Billy Joel, who’s thought to be writing his new single I Wouldn’t Have Fucked A 19-Year-Old Behind Your Back (Like That Special Architect Dude).”
- After the cat was out of the bag, Cook apparently considered suicide as he drove his car erratically along the north shore of Long Island. I must say, the north shore is rather pretty and probably a good place to off yourself. The south shore, on the other hand, not so good. Not that you’d want to off yourself if you’re blessed enough to be a native of the south shore, of course — as Billy Joel put it, our girls are cooler.
- OK, so the guy likes to wack off on the Internet and bang teenage Long Island bimbos, but as an architect, he does do some real nice work.
Sometimes, I miss home.

The story you linked reports it as $3600 per year.
Bad link…. it should be $3,600 a month:

From the Daily News (first link):
Let’s see, you’ve got Cook, the bimbo, his wife and their gardener – you know, it sounds like a Peter Greenaway film.
Wow, $3600 a month on porn when you can get it for free, umm, so I’ve heard.
“Sing us a song, you’re the porno man, sing us” oh wait, that was the other husband.
Diana Bianchi might be worth three grand a month though.
Well, she’s certainly better-looking than the Jersey ho Gov. Spitzer was paying US$1,000 an hour for.
No offense to anybody from New Jersey.
“Yeah, my wife is Christie Brinkley but I find you so much more attractive.”
With a line like that what do you need porn for?
In re: “does Ms. Bianchi look Italian to you?”
First, as many Italians emigrated to the Southern Cone countries of South America in the late 19th century as emigrated to North America. (Probably following Garibaldi’s trail) So, Brazilian?
Second, she may have had a Corsican ancestor. You’ll find Corsican family names in many Latin American countries, especially in the Coffee regions. I don’t know why, but it was the French who introduced coffee to the Americas, and many who came with the trade were Corsicans who intermarried with the locals. Common family names in former and current coffee areas in southwest Puerto Rico include Sorrentini, Fantauzzi, Mattei, Santoni, Santoro, Salucci, Molini, Graniela, and, I believe, Biancchi, among hundreds of such family names.
Is Chritine Brinkley an Uptown Girl? so Peter Cook must like the downtown girl..that’s what I say…
how many of these cases do we have to see before women finally realize
men are perverted dogs whose brains are wired right to their penis!
Must be a slow newsday. Didn’t expect a Long Island celebrity divorce to show up at the Hole.
On the other hand one needs something to read and comment about that does not have to do with US beef and candlelights.
Althought I have sympathy for women who end-up with abusive or unfaithful men, I think Christy needs to take a good hard look at the mirror also.
Most people who know Cook says you can see his narcissistic, player tendencies a mile away. So, what does this tell us about Christy and her taste/choice in men? You know, the court-appointed psychiatrist said as much. Although he said Cook had some serious personality problems, Christy didn’t come out of this smelling like roses either.
Per the psychiatrist: “[Christy] needs to start working on deeper issues… [including] her choice of male figures…”
This brings out another issue… Women and how they are choosing their men nowadays. In the 21st century, it seems, to at least myself, that women aren’t picking “good” men anymore, but “interesting” men and trying to make them “good.” Poor strategy since it’s so hard to change people’s character when they are full grown adults. It’s easier to start off with a good man and make him interesting then the reverse.
Between that and A-Rod’s divorce with his Greek Orthodox wife and all the flossies coming outta the woodwork, I’m in the middle of a freakin cesspool here!
