RUMORS of an explicit home video showing Christie Brinkley’s slimy hubby Peter Cook having sex with his curvy teen office worker Diana Bianchi have made the rounds for months, and now Page Six can reveal the truth – it does exist.

Yesterday, we were shown a series of stills from a video depicting Cook and Bianchi, both nude, having sexual intercourse on a brown love seat. They also show Bianchi performing a sizzling striptease down to a pair of black, G-string panties and then to her birthday suit as Cook holds his crotch.

Another shows Cook resting his head on Bianchi’s buttocks. It appears the tape was made at Cook’s Southampton architectural office without Bianchi’s knowledge. But other stills that are apparently not from the video show Bianchi willingly posing topless.

In July, Brinkley settled her nasty divorce with the philandering Cook – who detonated their 10-year marriage with his affair with then-18-year-old Bianchi – for just $2.1 million of her $60 million fortune. She also won full custody of their kids. Cook, who confessed to a $3,000-a-month online porn habit, doled out $300,000 to Bianchi in a legal settlement that kept her mum and prevented a likely sex-harassment lawsuit.

One theory why Cook settled for so little is that Brinkley found the pictures on his computer and used them as leverage. Brinkley’s lawyer Robert Cohen said: “Nothing about Peter Cook’s behavior shocks us. We don’t know anything about this tape. We never saw it and we never heard about it. Christie’s concern is for the sake of her children and she hopes this video is kept private.”

Bianchi’s lawyer, Joe Tacopina, said she may sue Cook over the video. “We are now going to review, and begin weighing our legal options, for Diana,” he told The Post’s Dan Mangan. Cook declined to comment, but a source close to him said: “He has no knowledge that any such material exists, but it is well known that Cook and Bianchi had a consensual affair, so anything is possible.”

After days of acrimony in court and a night of intense negotiation going into the wee hours of the morning, Christie Brinkley and Peter Cook settled their contentious divorce case.

“It is my pleasure to report to the court that with much hard work … we reached an agreement,” Brinkley’s lawyer Robert Cohen said in Suffolk County Supreme Court in Central Islip.

After Judge Mark Cohen signed off on the deal and Cook left the courtroom, Brinkley hugged two friends and sobbed quietly.

“It’s to me a very bittersweet moment because it really is the death of a marriage,” Brinkley said later, outside the courtroom. “I’m very pleased with the results today. I was here fighting for custody.”

She held an elaborate dinosaur diorama she had helped her son make for a science class that had been used as evidence at the trial.
“It’s everything I asked for,” Cook said as he walked quickly away from the building.

The hard-fought deal’s main sticking point – custody of the couple’s two children, Jack, 10, and Sailor, 13 – was resolved with Brinkley getting sole custody and final decision-making power over the children.

”

Cook is allowed visitation and will be consulted regarding decisions about the children.

Brinkley retained ownership of all real estate holdings and her boat Sweet Freedom. She agreed to pay Cook a flat amount of $2.1 million, mainly to cover his legal costs. The rest of the terms remain confidential, the pairs’ attorneys said.

The marathon negotiating session to end their 10-year marriage was held at a Marriott hotel in Islandia and finally ended at 6 a.m. Both sides appeared relieved to have the ugly trial concluded.

The settlement comes after five days of all-out war in the courtroom, where a string of witnesses, including Brinkley, 54, and Cook, 49, painted the model’s husband as a narcissistic horndog who slept with a teenage employee and had a $3,000-a-month Internet porn habit.

When asked why they didn’t settle sooner, Brinkley – wearing a pink, brown and tan skirt, pink sweater over a white blouse and designer high-heel open-toed shoes – said she didn’t “have a choice.”

“I was trying to settle the day I learned about – you know – about the absolute truth, the facts. I wanted to settle but, unfortunately we could not reach an agreement until 6 a.m. this morning,” she said.

Cohen said that after days of bruising testimony, Cook realized that settling was a wiser option.

“Most of you heard what went on in that courtroom – I think it was pretty clear where this case was going and so it was resolved,” he said.

At the center of the trial – where custody of the couple’s two children was at stake along with her considerable assets – was the affair Cook had with Diana Bianchi, a teenager he hired as an assistant for his architecture firm and paid $300,000 for her silence.

Then, two days ago, a court-appointed psychiatrist deemed Cook a self-obsessed egomaniac, and said Brinkley should have primary custody of the children.

Yet another beauty linked to Peter Cook since his breakup with supermodel Christie Brinkley will be named at his divorce hearing, the Daily News has learned.

Bridget Nisivoccia is a pretty blond interior designer who told the Daily News she was hired to design Cook’s new home in Sag Harbor, L.I.

She is expected to become part of the blockbuster trial this week when another witness discusses Nisivoccia’s connection to Cook, a source close to the case told The News.

The 36-year-old joins a growing list of women in Cook’s life since his 10-year marriage to Brinkley, 54, dissolved in 2006.

The source did not imply that Cook, an architect, and Nisivoccia were romantically involved. Nisivoccia described their relationship as “professional.”
She owns property in New Jersey and has offices in New York, Miami, Los Angeles and the Hamptons.

“We have mutual clients and share a professional relationship and a respected friendship,” Nisivoccia told The News.

Fitness model Carri Lyn Ciamarra, who dated Cook for about six months last year, has been called to testify Thursday along with Cook’s current squeeze, Suzanne Shaw.
Ciamarra, 31, a married mom of one from Westchester County, says she wants no part of the scandalous divorce hearing, and her lawyer vowed to fight the subpoena.

Shaw, on the other hand, spent Independence Day in the Hamptons with Cook and his son and, sources say, she has nothing to hide.

As week two of the Brinkley-Cook divorce trial begins today, both sides will begin the battle over custody of the couple’s kids – Jack, 13, and Sailor Lee, 10.
Last week, the two sides fought over the grounds for the divorce, and sordid details emerged of Cook’s penchant for Internet porn.

Diana Bianchi, who had an affair with Cook as a teenager, also testified that he showered her with gifts and left her money under rocks and behind pictures in his office.

Brinkley’s lawyer Robert Cohen is expected to call on the women as part of his argument that Cook should not get a fifty-fifty custody split because he’s shown “bad judgment” where the children are concerned.

Cohen plans to show Cook, 49, has introduced his son to his new girlfriends and also that he bought both youngsters dangerous motorbikes and drove at more than 80 mph with his daughter in the car.

Recklessness is an “overriding feature of his character,” Cohen told the judge during his opening statements last week.
Cook’s team plans to hit back with evidence that Brinkley has tried to vengefully cut her ex out of her children’s lives and is an “angry, angry” woman who cannot get over the betrayal.

On the second day of her divorce trial against Peter Cook, Christie Brinkley broke down in tears as she recalled how her ex had an affair with his teenage assistant.

“My world was completely shattered,” she told the court, according to the New York Post.

She said she learned the news after delivering a commencement address at a high school in NYC’s Hamptons area in June 2006.

She said the grads were taking turns collecting their diplomas on stage and Cook and son Jack cheering her on from the front row when the teen’s step-father approached her.

“Suddenly, I heard these words … I heard, ‘That husband of yours just won’t knock it off. He’s having an affair with my teenage daughter and that bastard won’t knock it off and I have to come to you,’” Brinkley, in tears, said.

“I said, ‘What did you say?’ At this point my eyes were fading out at the edges, this tunnel vision in a way,” Brinkley told her attorney.

“I looked at Peter and he was just going ‘no’ and I thought it’s true — he did that,” she continued.

Brinkley also told the court that Cook was suicidal after his adultery was exposed.

“I’m going to plow my car into a tree,” she recalled him saying from his cell phone while driving. She said it was the first time she had heard her husband cry.

On Wednesday, Cook detailed the affair and his mistress, Diana Bianchi, also took the stand, calling their fling was “mutual.”

Brinkley’s attorney also revealed how Cook spent $3,000 on Internet porn sites.

The battle is expected to get more heated as the days continue as both bash each other’s parenting skills in an attempt to win custody of their two children, Jack, 13, and Sailor, 9.

Cook told the Post the sensational trial “is about parenting and remaining in my children’s lives in the same presence I’ve always had.

“I’m not going to let her take my children the way she has with the last two fathers,” he said.

Former supermodel Christie Brinkley came face to face with the 21-year-old who had an affair with her husband on the opening day of the couple’s bitter divorce trial.

Brinkley’s estranged husband Peter Cook and his former lover Diana Bianchi, 21, both spoke about their brief affair during the public trial in a Long Island, New York court.

Miss Bianchi was 18 and working as Mr Cook’s personal assistant at his architectural practice when the affair happened. He met her in early 2005 when she was 18 and working at a toy store.

Their affair began that March, around the time he hired her.

She was paid a salary of around £10,000 to type magazine articles on to the company’s website.
He also left her cash payments in various spots – £250 under the rock outside his office, more behind a painting, and gave her £7,500 to help her purchase a car.

Before their relationship ended in late 2005, they had sex in the office a number of times, and at homes in the Hamptons owned by Miss Brinkley.

Testifying in court yesterday, Miss Bianchi said: ‘He had shown interest in me, and I reciprocated. In his office he asked me how I would feel if he told me that he was attracted to me and that’s really how it all started.

‘I think I was a little taken aback, but I wasn’t against it either really. I wouldn’t say that one of us pushed the other. I would say that it was a mutual thing.’

Cook said their affair lasted ‘less than a year’ and he recalled they had sex about 12 times in various locations.

The affair was revealed when Miss Bianchi’s stepfather, a policeman, confronted Cook and accused him of taking advantage of the teenager.

The fling stunned Long Island society, of which Miss Brinkley is a leading light.

She filed for divorce two years ago as it emerged that Cook had paid Miss Bianchi £150,000 ’shut-up’ money.

Miss Brinkley also intends to call as a witness a married woman who left her husband for Cook and was then dumped by him.

During opening arguments at Central Islip Court on New York’s Long Island, Miss Brinkley’s lawyer Stephen Cohen said Cook visited websites devoted to sexual swingers – using their 12-year-old son Jack’s name.

Jack is Miss Brinkley’s son from her third marriage, to property developer Richard Taubma.

Cook, her fourth husband, adopted Jack shortly after they wed in 1996.

Mr Cook acknowledged his porn usage and admitted their son Jack caught a glimpse of the adult material by accident in 2006.

He sobbed: ‘He said, “Mom is looking at naked pictures of your girlfriends on the computer.”‘

Mr Cook claimed his wife sometimes joined him when looking at pornographic material.

His lawyer said: ‘It was a precursor to sex.’

Miss Brinkley fought to have the hearing held in public, saying her children needed to know the truth about the break-up.

In court yesterday, Mr Cook’s lawyer Norman Sheresky attacked the model for failing to protect her children from the couple’s bitter divorce battle.

He said: ‘For goodness sake: She’s on her fourth husband.

‘Your honour, we’re here because of the self-indulgent wrath of a woman scorned. What kind of a mother wants her husband flogged in public.

‘Opening the case to the public is bad for the kids. That’s not good motherhood, that’s not acceptable.

‘She wants nothing but to get even. She and her lawyers and her PR people are pitching a new history.’

The couple are battling for custody of Jack and his sister Sailor, 10.

Miss Brinkley also has a 22-year-old daughter, Alexa Ray Joel, from her marriage to Billy Joel, her second husband.
Taking to the stand yesterday, Miss Joel said her relationship with Mr Cook was good at first, but it began to disintegrate after he married her mother.

She said: ‘He was just very critical of me in general.’

She claimed Mr Cook reacted in an angry manner towards her in 2003 when her lengthy shower caused a leak in the kitchen below at the family’s home.

Miss Joel said: ‘He was pushing me down the stairs… I went down in a towel… and the drips were already coming down into the bucket. He shoved my head into a bucket and said, “You clean this up.”‘

The 54-year-old mother of three – the inspiration for Joel’s hit Uptown Girl – intends to bring 44 witnesses in the case.

Cook’s current girlfriend and an interior designer he briefly dated are also expected to be hauled into court.

At the opening yesterday Mr Cohen called Cook ‘a liar, drunkard and adulterer’ who spent £1,800 a month on porn but failed to contribute to household expenses.

Cook’s lawyer said his client had acknowledged he had used porn. ‘It was wrong and he said it was wrong,’ he said.

Regarding the affair, the lawyer told the court: ‘Peter has apologised.

‘He’s cried his eyes out. He’s lost his marriage.’

Cook wants full custody of the children, whom he sees every other weekend, claiming that Miss Brinkley employs nannies to look after them.

Leaving court yesterday afternoon, Miss Brinkley said: ‘I need some time to let it all absorb.’

The trial continues.

A $300,000 payoff to a teenage mistress. Thousands of dollars worth of online porn. Extramarital trysts in the office and his supermodel wife’s Hamptons homes.

Sensational testimony about Christie Brinkley’s estranged husband opened their divorce trial Wednesday, giving the public a salacious peek into the former Sports Illustrated swimsuit model’s fourth marriage.

The husband, architect Peter Cook, testified that he and Brinkley used pornography “to get the mood going.” Alexa Ray Joel, Brinkley’s daughter with “Piano Man” Billy Joel, said Cook once shoved her head into a bucket of water.

And Diana Bianchi, the young woman whose affair with Cook set off a tabloid frenzy and ended the couple’s marriage, testified that he hid cash for her under a rock and gave her $15,000 to help her buy a Nissan Maxima in 2005.

“That is the man who’s come before this court and asked for custody of his 13-year-old son and 10-year-old daughter,” said Brinkley’s lawyer, Robert Stephan Cohen.

Brinkley, 54, and Cook, 49, wed in 1996. She filed for divorce a decade later, after his affair with Bianchi exploded into public view.

“There is no way to make that right,” said Cook’s lawyer, Norman Sheresky. “Peter has apologized. He’s cried his eyes out. He’s lost his marriage.”

Cook and Brinkley are mainly disputing custody of the children. Her ownership of her $30 million home is not being contested because the couple had a prenuptial agreement. They are also arguing over property that includes three boats.

Brinkley fought a bid by the children’s legal guardian to close the trial to the public, and Cook’s lawyer said the model was partly to blame for an unseemly spectacle.

“For goodness sake: She’s on her fourth husband,” Sheresky told the court. “Your honor, we’re here because of the self-indulgent wrath of a woman scorned.”

“What kind of a mother wants her husband flogged in public?” he said.

Cook met Bianchi, then 18, while she was working at a Hamptons toy store in 2004. He testified that he soon hired her to work at his architecture firm, paying her $20,000 to type magazine articles onto the company’s Web site.

Before long, he seduced her while they were working together in the office, she testified.

“He had shown interest in me, and I reciprocated. He asked me how I would feel if he told me he was attracted to me,” she said. “I wasn’t taken aback, but I wasn’t really against it.”

Tentative and halting during an hour of testimony, Bianchi said the two had sex about 10 times before their relationship ended in late 2005. Cook counted about 12 rendezvous — some at the office, some at Brinkley’s homes in the Hamptons.

Tearing up as he testified, Cook said he showered Bianchi with spending money, including $500 secreted outdoors — he said near his office; she said it was outside his and Brinkley’s home. He said he slipped more cash for Bianchi behind a painting.

The $300,000 payout came in May 2007. Cook said he was trying to protect himself and his family from scandal and was concerned that Bianchi might file a sexual harassment lawsuit. No lawsuit was ever filed.

Bianchi’s stepfather, Brian Platt, testified that he told Brinkley about the affair moments after she spoke at the 2006 Southampton High School graduation.

“She was obviously shaken,” Platt said.

Brinkley and Cook presented a portrait of contentment on the Hamptons social circuit. But behind the scenes, they relied on porn as a precursor to intimacy during the last half of their marriage, Cook said. He acknowledged spending about $3,000 a month on pornographic Web sites in 2005. He said he has not accessed the sites since his breakup and maintained he never looked at them in the presence of his children.

Brinkley’s lawyer called her a doting mother whose work schedule revolves around her children.

Cook’s attorney also painted his client as a good parent, noting interviews in which Brinkley referred to him as “the best dad in the world.”

Alexa Ray Joel, 22, testified that Cook treated her well before he married her mother. But she said he was constantly on her case afterward, chastising her “if I chewed too loud” and criticizing her piano playing.

“He was just very critical of me in general,” said Joel, a singer, songwriter and pianist.

When her lengthy shower caused a leak in the kitchen below in 2003, Cook stormed into the bathroom and demanded she mop up immediately, Joel testified. When she got downstairs wearing only a towel, he pushed her head into a bucket and yelled, “You clean this up!” she said.

When Brinkley found out, “she was horrified,” her daughter said.

Christie Brinkley’s skirt-chasing husband has a penchant for Internet porn and loves to troll swinger sites, the supermodel will claim at their divorce trial.

The allegations will be the first damaging details to come out against Peter Cook since his affair with a Long Island teenager was made public two years ago – and they could devastate the wayward architect when the couple’s divorce trial begins on July 2.

Cook’s lawyer confirmed that Brinkley is ready to make the shameful claims in Suffolk County court, but would not offer up anything else. “I don’t want to make public her accusations,” said Cook’s lawyer, Norman Sheresky. “She’s making a lot of accusations.”

A law guardian for the couple’s two children yesterday asked a Long Island judge to bar the media from the courtroom during the trial so the kids wouldn’t have to hear about Daddy’s dirty deeds.

“What kind of father engages in such atrocious behavior that he’s embarrassed to have a public trial?” asked Brinkley’s celebrity lawyer, Robert Cohen.

Cohen refused to discuss Brinkley’s cybersex claims and declined to comment when asked if Cook had had any other extramarital affairs.

The bad blood between the couple continued to flow after the hearing, when Sheresky slammed Brinkley as a lousy parent for wanting the press to be in the courtroom to hear the details of his affair with a teenage girl and his alleged Internet porn prowling.

But Cohen countered that she needs to restore her reputation and correct “innuendoes, rumors and falsehoods” leaked to the media about her, and that Cook’s “atrocious behavior” in his much-publicized affair with assistant Diana Bianchi “is only the tip of the iceberg.”

Law guardian Theresa Mari of Huntington argued in her court motion that it would harm the couple’s kids, Sailor, 9, and Jack, 12, if the family scandal were reported in the media.

“The mother, supposedly a good mother, wants to have the court open – you go figure that out,” said Sheresky outside the courtroom. “The father obviously wants the court closed. There are two young kids in this case, and there are charges of adultery. Their mother probably told them everything. I don’t know of any parent who has made an application to keep the court open. To me, that’s not good parenting.”
Supreme Court Justice Mark Cohen said he hoped to issue a decision today on admitting the press.

After the hearing, Brinkley said, “I’ve always hoped to be able to settle this matter privately, outside the courtroom.”

When asked about her children, Brinkley, 54, responded, “They’re doing fine.”

Cook, 49, declined to comment.

The couple split after his affair with the then-19-year-old Bianchi was revealed. Brinkley filed for divorce in July 2006.
