It seems that in the world of celebrity divorces, while some go for a very private arrangement like Reese and Ryan, some spurned spouses want no less than revenge. While Shania Twain might have been giving her former friend, now known as the other woman, a public airing in People magazine, now it seems that Christie Brinkley, 54, wants her divorce proceedings out in the open.

Brinkley filed for divorce from her fourth husband, Peter Cook, in 2006 as news of his alleged infidelity with his then 18-year-old assistant emerged.

Among the things that may be revealed if the case, which begins July 2 is made public, are allegations that Cook trolls Internet porn sites. He also regularly logged on to swingers sites in search of women, the source claimed.

Despite Brinkley’s efforts, a law guardian for the couple’s two minor children however, will ask for the case to be kept private.

One reason Brinkley reportedly wants the case to be made public is because she is still upset at her ex.

“She’s still spitting mad at Cook,” the source said.

If my husband cheated on me, I’d probably want to drag his dirty laundry out so he could be labeled a scoundrel by women the world over. But, would I want my children to know that daddy is a love rat?

It seems that the attorney representing Christie’s children wants the divorce to be private, to protect them from the knowledge that their father likes women less than half his age. Christie and Peter have two children, Sailor, 9, and Jack 12, and Christie has another daughter with Billy Joel, Alexa, 22.

Considering that the allegations are that Peter Cook likes to view online porn, troll for swingers and had an affair with his 18-year-old secretary, I think the kids have already been exposed to the worst of it. My son is 5 and can already google, although he can’t spell much besides his own name, I’m guessing that two pre-teens can google their father’s name with ease. Maybe having the court records open is not a good idea.

Besides, Peter is hardly alone in the world looking online for sex and porn. Isn’t that what the internet was invented for?

I think that all these magazine surveys that list Britain’s eligible bachelors, the Princes William and Harry, Jude Law, the guys from big brother, are thinking too young. Wouldn’t an ex-Beatle be a catch too? Apparently Renee Zellweger thinks so. And Christie Brinkely.

Zellweger, 38, spent some animated face time with Beatle Paul McCartney on Saturday jamming to Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.

As Zellweger smiled, laughed and hung on the 65-year-old musical icon’s every word, our lensman spotted Brinkley casting what appeared to be less-than-delighted glimpses in their direction - and no wonder.

After all, it was just two weeks ago at a James Taylor concert in the same East Hampton venue that Brinkley, 53, sparked romance rumors when she and Sir Paul, who is estranged but not yet divorced from Heather Mills, cut a rug.

They were even seen slow-dancing to “How Sweet It Is to Be Loved by You.”

A witness at Saturday night’s Petty concert at the Hampton Social insisted that they’re all just friends.

Now, I myself think that old Macca would be quite a catch. Despite two previous marriages, he’s not suffering financially. My mum would like him. He’s got a nice accent. Not bad looking. I mean, if Pete Doherty can get a supermodel than I think Paul McCartney, the 1960’s ultimate heart throb, should be able to date Hollywood actresses and ex-supermodels. He might be - we’ve all heard the ‘just good friends’ line before, haven’t we?

I’ve ignored this story for a while, thinking it will go away on its own, but it just keeps getting better. Supermodel Christie Brinkley’s fourth husband, architect Peter Cook, cheated on her with the babysitter, I mean some barely legal girl who worked in their town, and she’s leaving him.

Cook, 47, seduced 19 year-old aspiring singer and shopgirl Diana Bianchi by initially promising to help her with her career. He hired her to work for him at his architecture firm and doubled the salary she made in retail. He wore her down gradually by wining and dining her and playing to her aspirations.

Brinkley, 52, was clueless about the year-long affair until the girl’s father, a Southhampton policeman, confronted Cook in front of her at a party and told him to “stop dating my daughter!” To the classic supermodel’s credit, she threw her cheating husband out of the house the next day.

Now Pop Singer Samantha Cole, who had a hit with the song “Happy with You,” says that Cook seduced her ten years ago when she was barely 18 in a strikingly similar story to the way he snagged Bianchi. He gave her a job at his architecture firm and eventually convinced her to date him.

Cook was single at the time, but when a then 19 year-old Cole broke up with him in 1996 he rebounded hard - by marrying Christie Brinkley:

Cole says that she was surprised Cook ended up with Brinkley, five years his senior, because he always seemed to prefer younger women. She says he was a gentleman, though, and treated her with respect.

The NY Daily News examines why men stray. It seems Cook wanted to recreate his earlier, exciting relationship. He also was undoubtedly looking for attention and validation:

I met an older, semi-rich, married guy on the train from NY to Connecticut once. He chose to sit next to me and it didn’t take long before he told me his story. He left his first wife for his mistress, who he once had hot frequent sex with. His wife was no longer putting out, though, and the marriage was stifling and boring.

He revealed that his wife was working to get her real estate license and that she also cared for their 7 year-old twin sons. I told him that if he wanted hot sex with his wife he should take some time to listen to her, and try to make things romantic again. He said he gave her all she ever wanted monetarily, along with a fabulous house, so why should he be bothered with talking to her? The asshole was trying to pick me up because his second marriage was failing predictably, just like his first. Once a cheater…
