Peter Cook Blames Christie Brinkley for Divorce, Proves He's a Proverbial Porcine

On Friday, be sure to tune in to "20/20" to watch Britney Spears' "Womanizah" video (this is comeback number, what, 434234560?), then stick around to watch womanizah Peter Cook -- the ex-Mr. Christie Brinkley -- dish to Baba Wawa about the "real" reasons for his divorce. Of course, it's all Christie Brinkley's fault that he rushed into the arms of a teenager...

Here's a few sneak peeks at what you can expect:

On his affair with the then-19-year-old Diana Bianchi:
"I was seeking a connection I could not find in my own marriage. I think the emotional aspect of our lives had changed. I think we were both feeling more like we were living with a brother and sister than a life partner. I think I just suddenly realized when I was getting attention from someone else that this is something that is missing in my life."

On why he's speaking out now:
"My hope is that the world will see that I'm not the scum bag pervert that I've been painted to be. The misinformation that came out during the trial is the elephant in the room. It's the elephant in the room for my kids. And I'm hoping maybe if I can correct some of the wrongs."
(By show of hands, how many of us cared either way prior to this? Don't all raise your hands at once...)

On Christie Brinkley seeing his interview:
"I don't think I can avoid that. But I think if she does, what I hope comes of it is that she takes the time to heal herself. And she goes back and remembers that I made a mistake, but that I am that person that she wrote the poems about, that she raved about in magazine articles and anybody who she could get & twist their ear to listen. I am that person today, that I was then."
(Aw. What a prince.)

Christie Brinkley gets custody

Christie Brinkley and estranged husband Peter Cook reached a conclusion early Thursday morning in their nasty Long Island divorce trial.

The 6:15 a.m. out-of-court settlement followed a night of intense negotiations, People reported.

Brinkley was awarded sole custody of their 10- and 13-year-old children, and she also will retain the 18 Hamptons properties that were at dispute. She agreed to pay Cook $2.1 million, Robert Stephan Cohen, Brinkley's lawyer, told the court.

The former Sports Illustrated model and the architect had been married for a decade before Cook's 2006 affair with his teenaged assistant led to their split.

"Anyone who would run the risk of destroying this wonderful life, anybody that would chase a teenager — I mean, a young girl — where is his judgment?" Brinkley asked when on the witness stand.

Much of the trial focused on Cook's mistress and Internet sex liaisons, which reportedly cost in the thousands each month. Cook also testified that he gave then 18-year-old Diana Bianchi a $300,000 payoff after their trysts.

But the main issue regarded the custody of the couple's 10- and 13-year-old children.

Court-appointed psychiatrist Dr. Stephen Herman said that while Brinkley should have custody of the children, Cook should receive liberal access to them, as well. He added that both parents needed counseling for their personal issues, calling Cook a narcissist with a bottomless ego and Brinkley someone who should examine her choice in men.
