The Hamptons people are trying to be so cool, not talking about the Christie Brinkley and Peter Cook divorce in public, but, trust me -- it's the most talked about "we don't talk about it topic" I've ever heard.
I applaud Christie for opening the proceedings to the public, since her stupid ex-husband wouldn't settle in private. He deserves every minute of humiliation he gets. Peter Cook is officially a member of the More For Me Club.
The More For Me Club is a club I made up for men who, no matter how much they have, just have to have a little more. Like Eliot Spitzer; he was on track for the Democratic Presidential nomination in two terms, but because he needed more, he pushed it and lost it all.
Peter Cook, poor Peter. Stuck living in the Hamptons. Stuck with fantastic business connections for his real estate business. Stuck in a marriage to a beautiful millionaire supermodel. What man could put up with that? No wonder he needed more.
In this case, he needed a local teenage girl. And what a smart choice that was. It's not like a shallow teenager would brag to her friends that she was beating out a supermodel for her husband's attentions. And she'd never mention how they're "doing it" in the supermodel's own bedroom in her Hamptons homes.... nah, what could go wrong there? No, you can trust a 17-year-old to be discreet and low-key. And shoveling money at her will take care of any verbal slip-ups she may make.
Yes, Peter was wise. Not unlike Spitzer, charging his trysts on a very traceable credit card. Men are so clever with their little indiscretions. And for Peter to start shaking his head "no" when he spotted the teenage girl's stepfather spilling the beans to Christie at a high school - that wasn't the least little bit incriminating.
You see, it's not that Peter doesn't love Christie, and her money, and the lifestyle she created for them. It's just that he needed more. You'd think Christie would understand that.
Most men would join the More For Me Club if they could. The more money and/or power they have, the greater the chance of them joining the More For Me Club. More For Me men sort of know each other, I think, and cover for each other in those high circles. Without question, other More For Me men knew that Peter was getting his "more on."
And I'm betting that, in time, we will discover that this was not Peter's first excursion into the More Zone. A man like Peter is doomed. If Christie, her beauty and her money weren't enough, nothing ever will be. I know why he's crying in court now. His remorse for what he's lost is genuine. Not only has he lost his last victim and all the trimmings, but now that she's flushed him out in public, how will he set up his next victim? Christie has really interfered with his ability to have more. If he does get another rich woman, she'll watch him like a hawk. He'll have to take his trysts out of state and hope for the best. I can only hope he takes a page from Spitzer's book, and remembers to pay in small, unmarked bills.
