Some people. I swear.
Today, let’s talk about the dark side of…adultery.
No, not mine. Definitely not mine. I’m not that kind of boy. Not now, not ever. Are we clear on that? Good.
Nope – let’s talk about this idiot named Peter Cook, and his ability to keep his toys in his own room.
You see, Peter was married to (onetime) Uptown Girl Christie Brinkley. This Christie Brinkley.

Brinkley Separation Explodes in Scandal
NEW YORK - The recent separation of Christie Brinkley and her fourth husband, Peter Cook, exploded in scandal Monday when a 19-year-old former employee of Cook's claimed he seduced her with lavish gifts while married to Brinkley.
Brinkley, the 52-year-old supermodel, last week announced through her publicist Elliot Mintz that she and Cook had separated. They married in 1996 and have a daughter.
On Monday, 19-year-old Diana Bianchi emerged in press reports as a central figure in the separation. Bianchi's attorney, Joseph Tacopina, claimed that she will be a "vital witness" should the couple pursue divorce.
Tacopina told The Associated Press that Cook "first lured this girl into his web by employing her ... and then showering her with gifts." He described their relationship as consensual, but claimed Cook's role as employer and his gifts of a car, money and jewelry could possibly constitute sexual harassment.

It just seems stupid to me to go out and cheat on your spouse anyway, but when you’re married to a supermodel? That’s like having filet mignon, but running out for a Big Mac. I guess Pete can be thankful that she's already wealthy; that way she won't have to (but probably should anyway) take him to the poorhouse. But just wait until his young miss decides that she needs a multimillion dollar settlement for the pain and suffering he caused her on the job... You just know it's coming, don't you?
And yes – I’m sure that there is an excuse out there somewhere for his behavior. Every cheater has an excuse of some sort. But I didn’t say it’d be a good excuse, because I do admit that I am Mr. Tommy-High-And-Mighty-Gressel who can’t think of any legitimate reason for sneaking around on your wife/husband/life partner.
Infidelity may be one of the very few things in this world that I’m decidedly old fashioned about, but I don’t care. If you’re married, then you’re married. If you want to go play in someone else’s playground, then you’d best remember your wedding vows. So there. I’ll get off my monogomy soapbox now.
Anyway, Christie and Peter are headed to Divorce Court and 6 months of Entertainment Tonight/Access Hollywood headlines. The girl that Rotten Pete was banging is destined for the New York Post, Dr. Phil, and maybe a Playboy photo shoot (if she’s lucky and desperate for money) before her 15 minutes of fame burns completely out. Pete & Christie’s daughter is looking at years of therapy. Are there really any winners here - all for a little strange?
And as for me? Well, I’ll still me the same old Tommy G. – madly in love with Mrs. G., glad to have her as my wife. And even happier I’m not the featured story on Inside Edition.
