Christie Brinkley: 'I Was Hoodwinked On TV Breakfast Show'
14 May 2012 6:36 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Ageless beauty Christie Brinkley has lashed out at U.S. newsman Matt Lauer for making her lose her cool on a TV breakfast show.
The former supermodel says she felt "hoodwinked" on Today back in March when a scheduled chat about her role in the musical Chicago turned into an emotional interview about her broken marriage and bitter divorce and custody battle with ex-husband Peter Cook.
Brinkley fought back tears during the live TV spot as she opened up about court papers she filed in November, claiming her architect ex had violated their divorce court ruling a total of 28 times by sending her abusive emails.
She told Lauer, "Since the day he realised I wasn't coming back, there has been a real character assassination going on... I filed (the court papers in 2011) mainly because I wanted to protect myself and my children.
"I have a right to peace. I just want peace. And besides the confidentiality agreement, I also asked for, and got, an agreement that demands civility, that demands him to stop berating me every opportunity that he can get."
But the TV outburst prompted a bitter war of words between Brinkley and Cook, who attacked his ex in a series of media moments days later for going public with their court battle details.
Cook accused her of trying to "garner public sympathy" by "dishonest means".
In a statement, he wrote: "I am also shocked by the blatant lies she told regarding our divorce proceedings of four years ago, including denying the indisputable fact that she fought for an open courtroom despite the warnings it would harm our children.
"(Brinkley) will stop at nothing to continue the drama in our lives in order to harass me and keep herself relevant in the media. Clearly, Christie does not believe I was punished enough four years ago for my indiscretions in our marriage, but for the sake of our children I wish she would find a way to move on."
And now the model is blaming Lauer for going too far with his line of questions.
In a new Los Angeles Times interview, she says, "I got hoodwinked on the Today show. I've known Matt Lauer for 30 years. I never expected him to do that to me. I was completely shocked.
"Each question was so inflammatory that I needed to respond because I couldn't let it lie there as fact."
Brinkley and Cook split in 2008 and the former couple's court fight turned ugly in 2009 when a judge overseeing the case ruled that Cook should be fined $5,000 (£3,125) each time he spoke negatively about his ex. »
Celebrity Divorces: How To Handle A Hollywood Breakup
23 April 2012 12:36 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
There’s an art to doing anything in Hollywood, including getting a divorce. The timing has to be just right, the narrative has to be phrased just so and those involved have to agree on the party line.
If someone does it wrong, that person is a jerk. But a celeb who does it right can bolster his or her bottom line.
Tis' the season for divorce in Tinseltown, and a lot of celebrities are handling their splits with dignity and grace. Then there are the rest of them.
Here's a take on how to nail down the perfect Hollywood divorce strategy. And even non-celebrities can learn from these very public examples.
1. Publicly compromise. Katy Perry and Russell Brand provide an example of one of the best divorced couples on the scene right now. They practically issued a press release about how amicable things were. He simply gave her their Los Angeles house. »

Charlie Sheen talks 'cringeable' behavior on 'Today.' Do we still care? -- Video

Exactly one year ago, America was transfixed by the spectacle of Charlie Sheen, Hyperverbal Human Train Wreck. It was a simpler time: Catch phrases like “Duh, winning!” still had their luster, tickets for Sheen’s bonkers Torpedo of Truth Tour were still relatively pricey, and Sheen’s extended meltdown was still morbidly fascinating rather than just plain morbid.
But as seasons change and the 24-hour news cycle churns, yesterday’s scandal becomes today’s barely remembered curiosity. The Tragedy of Charlie has lost its sheen. Sure, we all gave a shocked chuckle when the former Two and a Half Men »

Cook Takes Aim At Brinkley Over Teary Today Show Slot
28 March 2012 9:06 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Christie Brinkley's ex-husband has taken aim at the model/actress' emotional appearance on U.S. TV on Tuesday as she opened up about their bitter court battle, branding her "cunning and shameless".
The actress has been locked in a public war-of-words with Peter Cook ever since their split in 2008 and Brinkley appeared on America's Today show to plead for privacy in the media.
She also confessed she's tired of fighting and just wants to put an end to the hostility for the sake of their kids, Jack, 16 and Sailor, 13, adding: "Since the day he realised I wasn't coming back, there has been a real character assassination going on. I have a right to peace. I just want peace."
But Cook has hit back at his ex, accusing her of trying to "garner public sympathy" by "dishonest means".
In a statement, obtained by TMZ.com, he writes, "I am also shocked by the blatant lies she told regarding our divorce proceedings of four years ago, including denying the indisputable fact that she fought for an open courtroom despite the warnings it would harm our children.
"(Brinkley) will stop at nothing to continue the drama in our lives in order to harass me and keep herself relevant in the media. Clearly, Christie does not believe I was punished enough four years ago for my indiscretions in our marriage, but for the sake of our children I wish she would find a way to move on."
The former couple's court fight turned ugly in 2009 when a judge overseeing the case ordered Cook be fined $5,000 (£3,125) each time he spoke negatively about the model/actress. Brinkley filed legal papers in November, claiming the architect had violated their divorce court ruling a total of 28 times by sending her abusive emails, but Cook denied any wrongdoing. »

Christie Brinkley breaks into tears on 'Today'

Going through a divorce is hard enough, but it's even harder for Christie Brinkley, whose split from her husband of 12 years, Peter Cook, has undergone some very public scrutiny.
The supermodel broke down while discussing her divorce with Matt Lauer on "Today" on Tuesday, March 27. While she ostensibly was there to talk about her role in "Chicago" on Broadway, the chat with Lauer was Cook-heavy as Brinkley became visibly upset that her ex has been so public about their breakup.
"I have turned the other cheek," she tells Lauer, but unfortunately her husband hasn't done the same. "There's not one quote from me, anywhere. This is the first time I've ever been on a show [to talk about the split]."
The two talked about the details of the divorce, but by the end of the interview, Brinkley's emotions bubbled to the surface.
She wants Cook to stop contacting her, and breaks into tears as she »
