Although Christie Brinkley may be in the middle of a nasty divorce battle, the former supermodel spent the Fourth of July relaxing at ex Billy Joel’s Sag Harbor, N.Y., house, reports People Magazine.
“She was just blowing off some steam, being with family. It was just a relaxing little get-together. Nothing special. Just what everyone does on the Fourth,” a source tells the entertainment magazine.
Another onlooker says Brinkley, Brinkley’s daughter Alexa, and her ex Joel “were having a blast,” eating barbecue ribs and corn and sipping white wine.
While Brinkley was spending time with Joel, her soon-to-be ex husband Peter Cook spent the holiday with his 13-year-old son Jack and girlfriend Suzanne Shaw.
Christie Brinkley’s divorce trial does not seem to be getting any easier, reports E! News.
The former supermodel took the stand during the second day of testimony in her public divorce from her soon to be ex-husband Peter Cook. Brinkley testified and recounted her confrontation with Cook, after learning he was having an affair with his 18-year-old secretary.
“I just said to Peter, ‘How could you?’” Brinkley said on the stand.
E! News further reports that Brinkley testified that she learned of her husband’s affair with Diana Bianchi from the teen’s police officer stepfather. Upon hearing about her husband’s infidelity, Brinkley described the moment as “the day my world was completely shattered.”
Brinkley continued to say that she was in shock. “I just started driving away from my perfect life. I thought I had the picket fence. We were happy.”
Naomi Campbell avoided a maximum six-month jail term for assaulting two police officers, reports E! News.
Instead, the supermodel was sentenced to 200 hours of community service for the air-rage ruckus, fined $4,600 and ordered to pay $400 to each of the police officers she attacked and $300 to the captain of the flight.
Back in April, Campbell became upset with crew members of a British Airway flight when one of her bags apparently went missing at London’s Heathrow Airport. After airport police attempted to restore order, Campbell spat on one officer and was escorted off the aircraft and taken into custody.
“She feels what happened was regrettable and she has come to court today to put her side of the story,” said Campbell’s rep Alan Edwards.
Christie Brinkley wants her divorce court proceedings to be made public, reports gossip columnist Perez Hilton.
The former supermodel filed for divorce from Peter Cook in 2006 after Brinkley allegedly caught Cook having an affair with his 18-year-old assistant.
The pair has two children Sailor, 9, and Jack, 12, although Jack is Brinkley’s son from her marriage to Richard Taubman and Cook is his adoptive father.
Due to Brinkley’s request, Cook is now accusing Brinkley of wanting to expose her two children. By letting the facts of their marriage be presented in a courtroom, Brinkley has nothing to lose. Cook, however, will gain terrible publicity.
Karma sucks, doesn’t it?
