Christie and Alexa “after” – before photos are below and on Star’s website

Christie and Alexa “before” – in 2008

Star Magazine has before and after photos of former supermodel Christie Brinkley and her daughter Alex Ray Joel, 24, that show that both of them had plastic surgery recently. Alexa seems to have had a nose job, according to the photo evidence and an expert quoted by Star. Christie, 56, has opted for some kind of face lift. I think both Christie and Alexa looked better before, although it’s kind of a toss up with Alexa as she’s still gorgeous with an obviously tapered nose. Christie is looking too tightly pulled and she’s starting to get that chipmunk cheek artificial look that’s a dead giveaway for too much work. She should have left well enough alone and is going to have to watch it. Here’s Star’s teaser report on this story. They also have a better before and after picture than the one we cobbled together.

Some mothers and daughters bond over shopping. For Christie Brinkley and Alexa Ray Joel, it’s plastic surgery! In the May 10 issue of Star, we exclusively reveal that the supermodel and her singer daughter, whose dad is Billy Joel, both went under the knife earlier this month — one day apart — at Manhattan’s Lenox Hill Hospital.

What was on the makeover menu? A mini face-lift for Christie and a nose job for Alexa, which — according to NYC-based plastic surgeon Dr. Norman M. Rowe — set them back about $60,000!

It was money well spent, a source tells Star. “Both Alexa and Christie are so happy.”

And just weeks after their respective surgeries, Christie and Alexa showed off their new looks when they attended the premiere of Last Play at Shea — to support Billy — at the Tribeca Film Festival in NYC on Sunday.

I personally don’t think it’s so strange that a mom and daughter had plastic surgery just a day apart. My mom had a face lift and I could see getting some work done with her. (I haven’t had anything done yet, but am not ruling it out and will probably try Botox soon.) I know that will sound insane to many of you, and it’s probably just a sign of the times. On one hand I’m wary of looking freaky like this but on the other side I have to admit I’m considering a face lift when the time comes.

People are getting plastic surgery with mixed results. You really have to opt for minor procedures and make sure you don’t go overboard, because it’s easy to ruin your looks and end up much worse than you were before. Even with just one or two seemingly small surgeries some people end up unrecognizable. Just look at Jennifer Grey.

Does anyone like Christie’s new look better than her old one? There’s something not-quite-human about her new look and she’s starting to resemble a plastic doll. Maybe it will settle for her.

Update: Alexa admits to People that she had her nose done, and says that she’s wanted it done for a long time. I like how candid she is and how she sounds confident about it.

Alexa Ray tells PEOPLE she’s feeling much better–inside and out. The 24-year-old singer underwent rhinoplasty earlier this month, and says she’s overjoyed by the results. “I was thinking about getting this for years,” says Joel. Her nose, she adds, “always bothered me a little bit. I was self-conscious of pictures taken from the side. To some people that’s vain, but at the end of the day, we all want to feel pretty.” But the daughter of Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley says she’s done with plastic surgery. Says Joel, “Would I do anything else to my body? No. It’s not ten procedures like Heidi Montag. For me, that’s a little extreme, but to each her own.” As for the timing of the surgery–just four months after her overdose scare following a breakup–Joel says this was the right time for her. “Would it have been smart to get this procedure last year?” she asks. “No. I didn’t know who I was.” And now? “I feel really good.”

Christie After:

The first week in December, Alexa Ray Joel was hospitalized after she sort-of attempted suicide by taking an overdose of homeopathic pills. I say “sort-of” because I, and many others, think it was more a cry for help than a genuine suicide attempt, and Alexa Ray seemed physically fine after a brief hospitalization. After she got out of the hospital, her parents Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley stepped up in a big way to take care of their 24-year-old daughter. There were tabloid reports that she has been staying with either of them throughout the past month, and her parents are just trying to focus on making sure she’s getting healthy, emotionally and physically.

On New Year’s Eve Alexa sent out a message on her Facebook page thanking her friends, fans and family alike for their support throughout the past month. This is Alexa’s first public statement since the suicide attempt, and it kind of breaks my heart:

In the new year, Alexa Ray Joel plans to speak up about the “heartbreak-related depression” that contributed to her scary Dec. 5 incident — in which she was rushed to Manhattan’s St. Vincent’s Hospital after swallowing a handful of homeopathic pills. (The pills weren’t capable of killing her, but a panicked Joel called 911 to get checked out by doctors.)

The recovering 24 year-old musician posted a note on Facebook on New Year’s Eve to gratefully acknowledge her friends, fans and supporters. “I just wanted to thank you all for the incredible outpouring of love and support,” wrote Joel, the daughter of music legend Billy Joel and supermodel Christie Brinkley. “It’s certainly been a whirlwind of a month, but reading all of your encouraging posts has never failed to cheer me up!”

Noting “many new exciting developments” for 2010, Joel mentions “creative projects” plus volunteer work, including a new pet cause. The rock progeny says she wants “to help young girls with something I feel I know a GREAT deal about: Heartbreak-Related Depression. Although it does not get much attention in our society, it is a very serious and painful condition that often gets ‘swept under the carpet.’ I hope to bring this topic more to light”

At the time of her early December incident, Joel had been dealing with the end of a long-term relationship with former bandmate Jimmy Riot. Joel, a graduate of NYU, says she is extending her education to further examine her depression. “I’m even going back to school for Psychology in hopes to learn more about this and many other afflictions that many of us have had to face,” she says. “After all, there’s nothing more fascinating than the human mind and it’s respective conditions.”

In the Facebook note, the young woman also thanks her mother for a recent birthday celebration (she turned 24 on Dec. 29): ” Just want to send a quick shout-out to my beautiful Mother and all of her friends for the lovely “Birthday Tribute”… I was very moved by that, so thank you!!!!”

I feel for this girl, I really do. I think she just got overwhelmed with everything that was happening to her and around her, what with her split with her boyfriend, her parents’ public divorces, her own struggling music career, I can easily see and commiserate with how overwhelmed she felt. I’ve been there myself – not to the point of overdosing, but I went through a year when I had a bad breakup, an emotional breakdown and a series of devastating panic attacks that left me reassessing my life. I hope Alexa continues to get stronger and healthier, and I hope we see more of her this year!

Just because two parents are divorced doesn’t mean they can’t work together for the sake of their children. Billy Joel and ex-wife Christie Brinkley have done just that, by issuing a joint statement this morning on behalf of their troubled 23-year-old daughter, Alexa Ray, who was hospitalized after a suicide attempt earlier this week. Both Joel and Brinkley expressed anger at some of the tabloids for their factual inaccuracies in the days after their daughter’s hospitalization, especially the NY Post.

Alexa Ray Joel’s long-divorced mom and dad, Christie Brinkley and Billy Joel, are teaming up for a heavy-duty round of defense.

Shortly after the 23-year-old musician was rushed to the hospital for an apparent suicide attempt, the New York Post ran a story about a recent family vacation gone awry. Needless to say, that family was less than thrilled.

“Every parent can imagine the pain and anguish we face as parents of a daughter who is working to recover from the dangerous actions she took while suffering a devastating heartbreak,” Billy, 60, and Christie, 55, said in a joint statement issued this morning. “As much as we hate dignifying tabloid stories with a response, we feel we must set the record straight to protect our family.”

Then they rip into the newspaper.

“The story that ran in the New York Post on December 8th, and has been subsequently spread across the Internet, is filled with vicious lies and attempts to smear our character and that of our beloved daughter. We ask the public and legitimate media outlets to please ‘consider the source’ and to not further exacerbate our daughter’s situation by repeating and legitimizing these false reports.”

They even sign the statement together: “With much appreciation, Billy Joel & Christie Brinkley.”

Billy and Alexa’s rep, Claire Mercuri, tells E! News the family is not seeking legal action against the New York newspaper.

It would be nice if folks would just leave Alexa alone for a little while and let her get herself together. It would be even better if the tabloids would get the facts right before rushing off to the presses. I always take the NY Post’s reports with a huge grain of salt- they usually end up being a bunch of bull, loosely held together by a couple nuggets of truth. Whatever is going on, it looks like Alexa’s parents have circled the wagons and are trying to protect her. I hope she is getting the help she needs and is able to recover in private.

I followed Christie Brinkley’s rather fascinating divorce closely last year. Christie came across as a kind of neurotic power mom who worked hard to make life fun and cupcake-filled for her two youngest children. Her ex husband, Peter Cook, seemed like a royal scumbag. He was having an affair with an 18 year-old girl he hired to work at his architecture firm and was blowing thousands of dollars a month on online porn. This was Christie’s fourth marriage and all three of her children are from different husbands, so it would seem that if she’s guilty of anything it’s piss poor taste in men.

After the divorce was finalized, Cook went on 20/20 and whined to Barbara Walters that he cheated because his wife wasn’t giving him enough ego-stroking. Brinkley then filed for a restraining order to keep her children away from Cook, claiming he violated the confidentiality clause of his $2.1 million divorce settlement by going on 20/20 and by showing footage of their children, Sailor Lee, 11, and Jack, 14. (Jack is from Brinkley’s third marriage, to Richard Taubman. He was adopted by Cook.)

Nearly a year later and Cook is still trying to get back at Christie for not letting him see his kids. A 40 page affidavit from a former nanny who worked for Christie way back in 1994 when she was divorcing her second husband, Billy Joel, has come to light. Cook doesn’t exactly take responsibility for leaking the document, but it seems like he’s the one responsible.

Cook and Brinkley have officially reached a settlement, but he’s continued to charge that she’s trying to turn their children – their daughter, Sailor, and Brinkley’s son with Rick Taubman, Jack – against him.

That’s why Cook is cheered by the delivery of some fresh dirt on Christie, courtesy of Alzirene Vianna, who looked after Billy and Christie’s daughter, Alexa Ray, from June 1993 to December 1994.

In 1995, when Billy and Christie were still dealing with matrimonial issues, Vianna gave Billy’s lawyers an affidavit, which we’ve obtained.

Vianna alleges in the never-aired 40-page statement that:

“Christie never encouraged Alexa to call Billy” and told Vianna to eavesdrop on phone conversations Alexa had with Billy. When Vianna took Alexa for a visit with Billy, Christie told Vianna to let her know if Billy was drinking again. “I want you to spy for me,” Vianna quotes Christie as saying.

After Christie had left Billy for handsome Colorado businessman Taubman, she was packing her bags for Telluride when Alexa, then age 8, started “acting up.” “Christie told her in a very harsh tone that if she wanted to come with her to Colorado … she would have to stop behaving like this, because she didn’t want Alexa to ruin her relationship with Ricky.”

It wasn’t long before Christie and Rick were getting into arguments: “Ricky would … kick furniture and slam doors.” Once, while staying at a hotel in California, Rick wouldn’t let Christie into their room. “Christie started pounding on the door and kicking it … Rick later told Christie: ‘No wonder Billy left you; who can live with you?’”
Once, while Rick was getting into a car outside their house, “Christie opened a window, threw something and said, ‘[Bleep] you, you ass-!’”

People began to talk about “Christie’s addiction to prescription drugs.” Said Vianna: “I remember going to the pharmacy every day in East Hampton to get several prescriptions filled for [Christie].”

Christie wouldn’t grant Alexa’s wish for Billy to come to school events. Alexa sobbed when she said goodbye to Billy after a visit and “seemed to withdraw.”

Gary Smith, a spokesman for Cook, says Vianna’s tales of “parental alienation and interference … unfortunately continue to this date and come as no surprise to Mr. Cook.”

Claire Mercuri, who represents Billy and Alexa, says, “These accusations are false and unfounded.”

Brinkley’s lawyer, Loren Plotkin, calls Vianna a “disgruntled employee,” adding: “Christie Brinkley denies these baseless, false and malicious allegations. … One must question the motive of the individual who dredged up this document as nothing more than a shameful, transparent and ultimately fruitless attempt to hurt Christie and her family.”

[From The NY Daily News]

Peter Cook is such a dirtbag and he’s digging up whatever he can to try and make it seem as if Christie is turning his kids against him. I don’t know what’s going on with his visitation, but he made his filthy bed and those kids belong with their mom. Even Billy Joel and Alexa deny this story by a nanny who worked for them for all of 18 months. It’s telling that this 15 year-old document is the best dirt that Cook can dig up on Brinkley, because even if all these claims are true they’re not that damning.

This story really touched me, and I wanted to share it here. Christie Brinkley is endorsing a new project meant to help young girls learn about charity and do their part. Through selling kits for charity-based tea parties for tween girls, Tea Party Angels hopes to educate them about the situation of girls and women in the third world along with raising money for worthy causes. The group supports charities throughout the world, with a focus on girls’ education. Christie explains in a video on the website for Tea Party Angels (link has automatic video) that “Just one party could buy tuition, a uniform, books, a bike for one girl so she can go to school.”

Brinkley and Tea Party Angels founder Cheryl Beck explained the project to MomLogic. Beck calls Tea Party Angels “a tribute to the memory of my grandmothers Beck and Jackson. Two completely different yet amazing women whose tea cups I keep visible to me every day for inspiration.” She has a background in marketing and wanted to do something to raise awareness and money for charity:

Momlogic: Cheryl, how did you come up with the tea party idea?
Cheryl: There’s so much movement around helping girls’ education around the world. I really feel passionate about it — and I wanted to use my creativity and marketing talent to put something together and give back. I tried to come up with something that would be like a party in a box — something really easy in terms of a fund-raising opportunity.

ML: Christie, aside from being here today, you and your daughter host the Tea Party Angels video. How did you get involved?
Christie: They tracked me down and I’m so thrilled and honored that they did. I really feel that our kids should be giving back, and that girls are overlooked. They really don’t understand the power that they have. Girls and women are naturally nurturing, and so to actually tap into that power and give them a way that they can literally change the world is so amazing. It’s wonderful for our daughters to come to understand that they can make a difference.

ML: A girls-helping-girls-by-doing-something-girly concept? What a win-win!
Cheryl: I thought if there are girls that need help around the world, then what better opportunity than to have girls in the U.S. helping them and really learning that all girls don’t have the same privileges that we have. There are so many girls that don’t even know that girls in other countries don’t have schools. So, part of our mission is to spread awareness, and that will foster the spirit of wanting to give back in charity. But it has to start with an understanding that these girls don’t have the same basic necessities.

Christie: The event actually illustrates to them how they can help people. It’s not just an abstract concept. They can learn about the chain of events that happen when they get involved. They learn that they can either stay in front of a computer or TV set, or go out to an event and raise some money — which in a third-world nation is a ton of money — and they can see what happens when a girl their age is exposed to a book, a school, a library … it opens up an entire world of opportunity and possibilities.

I just think it’s so wonderful. I was shocked to learn that no one else has empowered young girls. It’s amazing how many kids really want to help. We just need to provide them with a formula. The tea parties are a really fun formula — they can see their friends while giving back and making a difference.

ML: What are your goals for Tea Party Angels?
Christie: I want thousands and thousands of mothers and daughters hosting tea parties across the country. Even if the tea party raises a little bit of money, it’ll add up to millions and really make a difference.

You can learn more on their website, and order kits for a charity tea party for $35, which includes cups and saucers for six girls, a teapot, and an educational DVD. This is such a great concept and good for Brinkley for lending her star power to such a worthy cause!

There are several really gross parts to this story, so I’ll start slowly. First, there’s Alexa Ray Joel, the 23-year-old daughter of Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley. I think Alexa’s pretty, in that pale, bug-eyed, Anne Hathaway kind of way. So, Christie Brinkley is Alexa Ray’s mother, and as such, Christie is interested in setting up her single daughter with someone nice. Now, let’s stop right there – Christie Brinkley rather infamously went through her fourth divorce, to Peter Cook, last year after he was caught having an affair with his very young assistant. I’m not saying the affair was Christie’s fault, I’m just saying that she’s been married and divorced four times, so maybe she doesn’t have the best taste in men. But that’s not stopping Christie from playing matchmaker… and how. She wants to set Alexa up on a date with… John Mayer.

Rocker John Mayer has the approval of former supermodel Christie Brinkley if he ever wants to date her daughter Alexa Ray.

Newly-single Brinkley admits she’s quite fond of the singer/songwriter herself but insists her “cougar days” are over when it comes to dating toy-boys.

However she says, “He’s perfect dating material for my daughter… You guys could make beautiful music together.”

Jeez, Mom. Aim higher, right? I would be totally offended if my mom wanted me to date John Mayer. Alexa Ray is by no means so unfortunate that she has go for John “Bottom of the Barrel” Mayer. This just speaks volumes about Christie – her taste in men isn’t just bad, it’s epically horrible.

This story just make me thankful my mom knows my taste in men, and she’s rooting for me to meet Gerard Butler, even though Gerry doesn’t really float her boat. Even though it’s a little gross, I don’t think my mom would even mind George Clooney as a son-in-law, although he’s closer to her age than mine. But I think my mom’s heart was broken when Matt Damon ran off and married Luciana, and didn’t even call my mom to see if I was available. Matt was the one who got away, for my mom at least.

Christie Brinkley’s ex-husband Peter Cook seems to think it’s really important for him to salvage his name – even though the guy has so little self-awareness that he doesn’t realize every word out of his mouth only makes his situation worse. The online porn addict/real life adulterer gave an interview to 20/20 that will air this Friday. In it, Cook tries to blame every single martial problem on Brinkley, and instead of looking better just looks like a simpering fool. Brinkley fired back at Cook’s comments later that day and has since applied for a restraining order to keep Cook away from their children.

Christie Brinkley has filed a request for a temporary restraining order and a motion for post-judgment relief again her ex-husband Peter Cook, a Suffolk County, N.Y., official confirms to PEOPLE. The motion was filed Wednesday – two days before Cook’s revealing interview with ABC’s Barbara Walters is set to air.

Cook, 49, who has admitted to having an affair with an 18-year-old assistant and an online pornography habit, told Walters during his interview for Friday night’s 20/20 broadcast, “I’m not the … pervert that I’ve been painted to be.” The restraining order would prevent Cook from seeing his children and is not to keep him away from Brinkley, a source close to Cook tells PEOPLE.

“She’s upset because the kids are seen in footage during the 20/20 interview,” the source says. Cook last saw the children when they had dinner on Wednesday night, and they are scheduled to be together this weekend, the source says. Brinkley and Cook halted their messy divorce trial in July when both parties announced a settlement deal. The judge in the case, Mark Cohen, signed their final divorce decree Sept. 29.

The new motion is on the court calendar for Oct. 29, but the court official said it’s unclear at this point whether the parties will actually appear in court or if their lawyers will simply submit statements to the judge in writing.

[From People]

So Cook and Brinkley were officially divorced on September 29th. That means within a week of everything being over and done with, Cook had violated the confidentiality agreement that was part of their divorce settlement. Wow, that really does sound like a trustworthy, upstanding guy.

I think he’s just a narcissist and is incapable of handling people thinking he’s anything less than absolute perfection. He needed his ego stroked by his wife and his 18-year-old girlfriend, and now he’s aware that the general public thinks he’s slime. All that matters to Cook is doing whatever it takes to let him think everyone else admires him again; otherwise his entire ego will crumble. Considering it only took a week for him to mess up, it sounds like Brinkley and Cook’s custody issues will go on for a long, long time.

Christie Brinkley’s ex-husband Peter Cook decided to defend himself by giving a “pity me” interview to Barbara Walters. Unfortunately it didn’t go so well for Cook, as he just came off as a whiney, pathetic guy who can’t handle people seeing him for who he really is. He did all this despite having signed a confidentiality agreement as part of his divorce proceedings.

Brinkley fired back, but in a dignified and appropriate manner. Once again it’s clear who has all the class and who has none in this situation.

Supermodel Christie Brinkley faced a highly publicized divorce from her husband Peter Cook three months ago — now she’s re-arming to fight Cook’s claims about their nasty split.

“Extra” has obtained a statement from Brinkley’s attorney, Robert Stephan Cohen, on behalf of the supermodel. It reads: “It is a measure of Peter Cook’s character that he has breached the confidentiality agreement that is in the divorce settlement and has sought to present this distorted one sided view of his marriage. Mr. Cook had his days in court, testified on his own behalf and ultimately agreed with the view of the children’s court appointed attorney and psychiatrist that the children should live principally with their mother and that she should be the sole custodial parent.”

Cook, who was blasted in court for an online sex addiction and an affair with his teenage assistant, insists he’s been unfairly labeled. “I’m not the pervert that I’ve been painted to be,” Cook tells Barbara Walters in a “20/20″ interview. “The misinformation that came out during the trial is the elephant in the room. It’s the elephant in the room for my kids.”

[From Extra]

That man is so full of bullshit I’m surprised it’s not leaking out of his ears. I feel sorry for their children in this situation, but it seems like Cook is almost jealous of the empathy they’re getting. Brinkley was even gracious enough to say she felt sorry for the 18-year-old girl Cook slept with, pointing out that she was taken advantage of. And it didn’t sound like PR bull, it seems like she really meant it. It takes a pretty forgiving nature to feel that way, even towards a young girl who might not have enough experience to fully understand the ramifications of her behavior.

All in all it’s clear who deserves to be publicly chastised in this situation – and telling everyone how hard he had it being married to Christie Brinkley isn’t going to help him out any.

Peter Cook, Christie Brinkley’s disgraced ex husband, appears on an upcoming episode of 20/20 in which he’s interviewed by Barbara Walters. Walters showed clips of the show on The View this morning, and Cook pretty much comes across as the total creep you expect him to.

It came out during the public divorce proceedings this summer that Cook, 49, was spending thousands of dollars a month on online porn, was into webcam sex, and had an affair with an 18 year-old girl he hired to work in his architectural firm. When the affair went sour, Cook paid the girl $300,000 to keep quiet. Yet it was Brinkley, 54, who paid the bills for the household.

After all the dirt about Cook came up, the two reached a settlement, with Cook receiving $2.1 million and visitation rights to his two children, Sailor Lee, 10, and Jack, 13. Brinkley retained all 15 of her properties. Brinkley was the one who fought to make the divorce public and she received some criticism for that due to her children being exposed to the details of their father’s massive indiscretions. It was also her fourth failed marriage, as the other side so often pointed out. Despite all that she came across as a devoted mom with blinders on who only wanted the best for her children.

Cook told Barbara Walters in that interview to air Friday that it was his wife’s fault that he cheated, though, because she just didn’t give him the ego-stroking that he so desperately needed.

Cook told Walters why he started an affair with the young woman in 2005, when he had a great marriage in 2004.

“I was seeking a connection I could not find in my own marriage,” he said. “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.”

When asked what he wanted, Cook said, “I wanted a little acknowledgement, a little attention, a little thank you every now and then for my efforts, for the amount of time I took to care for her and my family, for the wealth I was building. Just the tremendous amount of work I was putting into my family. … My world became her world. It had to be that way. … There came a time when I pulled up [to] the driveway to the home that I found, that I built, that I lived in, and I felt like I was a guest in someone else’s life.”

Cook said that he agreed to be interviewed to try to “correct some of the wrongs.”

“My hope is that the world will see that I’m not the scum bag pervert that I’ve been painted to be,” he said. “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.”

[From Abcnews.com]

What an asshole this guy is. It’s the typical “my wife doesn’t pay attention to me” bullshit. Instead of getting some young ass, you’re supposed to work on your relationship by giving your wife some attention and romance. This guy was having an affair with a woman 30 years younger who worked for him. He has no excuse.

Here’s a link to the video from The View. The interview starts at about 1:57 in. There is some mildly funny banter ahead of it where the women talk about webcam mast*rbation. And here’s another clip on Abcnews.com.

Now that the three-ring circus better known as the Christie Brinkley divorce is over, you’d think that the former supermodel would be able to move on and find a way to effectively co-parent with her ex, Peter Cook. Creep though he is, the guy is still father to one of her children, and that’s not changing. However, sources say that when Christie ran into her ex at a benefit concert in the Hamptons, she hightailed it out of there.

It was an ex-couple collision for Christie Brinkley and Peter Cook when the two had a close call at a Hamptons dance party this weekend!

Christie was hoping for a good time at the Jonas Brothers bash benefiting Ross School in East Hampton, but she ended up in uncomfortable proximity to her cheating ex — who also attended the intimate show. As 650 fans screamed — and Christie rocked out with son Jack — Peter walked around with daughter Sailor.

When Christie got wind of chatter about her porny ex being in the same place — she quickly headed for the door!

[From ExtraTV.com]

Here is my problem with this: if Christie was alone, or with a date, I could see why she’d want to get the heck out of there. But both of them were with one of their kids. The two siblings can’t enjoy a concert together because their parents can’t get along- and that’s sad. I know the divorce is still very new, and there are a lot of bad feelings in this situation, but there are children to think about. Christie should take comfort in the fact that she publicly humiliated this clown and leave it at that.
