I’m so looking forward to this one

CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y. — There’s not much the public hasn’t seen of Christie Brinkley.

Whether it’s in next-to-nothing swimsuits in Sports Illustrated or starring in ex-husband Billy Joel’s rock videos or in countless boldface tabloid mentions, the quintessential California blond cover girl has become a fixture on the cultural landscape.

And now Brinkley’s divorce from her fourth husband, Hamptons architect Peter Cook, is about to be aired in full public view as a trial opens Wednesday on Long Island.

It’s rare for divorce cases to go to trial and be open to the public. Brinkley, 54, opposed a move by a legal guardian for her children that would have closed the proceedings to the public, apparently comfortable with the prospect that Cook’s alleged affair with an 18-year-old employee and other intimate details of their 10-year marriage will be ripe for public consumption.
