"It's been a really long day. I heard a lot of new things today that I didn't know and so I really think I'm not going to comment right now," Brinkley told reporters at the end of the day. "I need some time to let it all absorb."
The other woman, 20-year-old Diana Bianchi, described in lurid detail her 10-month affair with Brinkley's husband, which began when she was still a teenager.
Bianchi said on the stand that she did not know exactly how many times she had sex with Cook, but that it was maybe 10 at most. She testified that their trysts took place in his office and at homes Brinkley owned. She also said that Cook left cash payments for her in various locations.Photos: Celebrity Splits
Cook admitted to having the affair and paying his then 18-year-old lover $300,000 to keep quiet.
Still, Cook is fighting for custody of the couple's 10-year old daughter, Sailor Lee and 13-year old Jack, whom Brinkley had with another husband and was later adopted by Cook.
Brinkley's lawyers argue Cook isn't fit to be a parent - citing the affair and a $3,000-a-month bill for pornographic Web sites.
"Looking at pornography and having an affair with an 18-year-old is not illegal," CBS News legal analyst Lisa Bloom told Early Show co-anchor Maggie Rodriguez. "(But), how does that affect the children? At the end of the day the question is, did the kids know? Did it affect his ability to be a good father?"
Bloom said she thinks Cook sounds as if he's remorseful and she doesn't think his use of Internet porn will stand in the way of his getting joint custody of the children. She also said there's much more to come in what could be a month-long trial.
"This was only day one. We may hear about more sexual improprieties by Peter Cook. Then he will have a chance to tell his side, that he was a good parent, that he's remorseful for what he's done." she said. "He did cry on the stand yesterday. The judge will have to sort it all out. The property and the money issues - that's still to come."

- EdgarDebbins, I don''''t agree with you. Even while the male has his own mare in the pasture, he''''s still eyeing the fillies in the next pasture. It''''s biological, the urge to mate as many as he can, to spread the genepool. Kind of hard to reconcile with monogamy, isn''''t it?

The urge to fvck everything is not the acts of the Alpha male--he carefully chooses only the best to spread his seed and create progeny. The fvck them all is for the inferior Beta male who is often so afraid he will not be able to reproduce that in desperation he fvcks anything and everything he can get.
This is programmed into all animals including human males--you can tell the Alpha male--he chooses what he perceives as the best and the most optimal for his DNA. There are far more beta males or inferior men around, they will fvck anything. This is why Einsteing turned down the beautiful blonde who offered herself up to him.
She said--"with my looks and your brains think about what wonderful children we could have"
But Einstein rebuked: "yes, madam, but consider the equally potential result of kids born with MY looks and YOUR brains" Learn this: for men who must fvck anything and everything--they immediately confirm they are of inferior genetic material. - Reply to this comment
- Many women have a warped desire to deny and deprive a man of the one thing he wants most. Part of that is just a twisted power game.

Then again, women sexxx drive often decrease as they get older (desire really IS tied to the child production years just like with any other animal) or it could be that he was a really lousy fvck.
Many men don''t realize that they svck in bed--and women don''t like to lay still for a lousy lay any more than men do. I vote for the lousy fvck theory. I base this on the fact that despite being at a very young age for sexx (age 18) and despite getting paid over 300K to fvck the man, that his teenage mistress claims only about 10 fvcks in a 10 month period. When I was that young, I wanted sexxxx at least 4 to 6 times in a day and wanted it every day--I stayed that way until I was in my early 40s, then I wanted it about once a day. 10 times in 10 months sounds more like duty fvcking than pleasure and definitely like someone did not really want to do it.
The man probably cannot screeeeew worth anything and after a while, all the money in the world can''t temper the anger a woman feels when a man is just plowing away with his rythymless, tired, slobbering, no talent, flaccid pencil ***, corny moves, lousy fvcking azz.

Sounds like she is a w--*** regardless of how you slice it, sexxx for cash is prostitutionnnnn.....
As for his fitness to be a parent--let''s face it, lots of "Dads" cheat. The obsession with porn and nubile 18 yr olds is more the concern--we already had a glimpse of relatives trying to rape and kill their neices and/or step kids--we don''t need this high profile porn addict potentially trying to seduce his own kids--the question is: how obsessed is his internet porn kick or is it just okay---and is he the kind of dad who might forget his daughter is off limits when his libido is up and she is around...say...17 or 18? If he has a problem--best he stick to strangers and pay them than make a mistake that can''t be fixed. - Reply to this comment

Sad but true. I think that''s why she is livid enough to harm her children in her lust for revenge. This is not some groundbreaking concept. After all, "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" - William Congreve
Although she looks pretty good for a 50-something, plastic surgery can only go so far.
Let''s hope she decides to put others (such as the best interest of her kids) first in the future, so there isn''t a husband 5,6,7, and 8.
I do believe I detect a trend. - Reply to this comment
- "just because someone is ''''incredibly beautiful or handsome'''' doesn''''t mean they''''re tolerable as a person. "
No lie! The ones that think they''re really attractive are often ultra-high maintenance and best experienced as pictures. Then you get all the looks without any of the BS.
There are very rare exceptions, but people are far better off with a grounded and average-looking partner. - Reply to this comment
- Given that this is failed marriage #4, I believe this belongs in the Business section.

- Very few men want to "make love" to the same woman every night for the rest of their lives. Exclusively. No other woman or women. How can that be exciting? It can''t. Who believes otherwise?

- I don''t believe that the true cause for the break up is as complicated as all this drama suggests. The situation was very simple. He had a very high secks drive. Being an incredibly beautiful woman, any normal man would want to have his way with her on a daily basis. Chances are that probably happened up until they were married. Who knows if he would admit that the primary reason he married her was in having a very understandable obsession with her. Many women have a warped desire to deny and deprive a man of the one thing he wants most. Part of that is just a twisted power game.
