Diana Bianchi Testifies At Christie Brinkley's Divorce Trial

Christie BrinkleyChristie Brinkley and Peter Cook's divorce trial kicked off on Wednesday with a sensational testimony about Christie Brinkley's estranged husband, giving the public a salacious peek into the former Sports Illustrated swimsuit model's fourth marriage.

Cook, who has admitted paying Bianchi to keep quiet about the relationship, said in court that he began leaving money for Bianchi shortly after their affair started in 2005. In one instance, the architect left cash under a rock outside his office and another time behind a small painting called "Zeus" inside his office.

Diana BianchiDiana Bianchi, 18, was hired by Peter Cook to work at his Hamptons architecture firm, where she was paid $20,000 to type magazine articles onto the company's Web site.

The young woman whose affair with Cook set off a tabloid frenzy and ended the couple's marriage, testified that they had sex "less than 10 times." and Peter gave her $15,000 to help her buy a Nissan Maxima in 2005.

"You've never asked me but I left you money ... I want to see you again." that was a part of an email to Bianchi from Cook and the email was submitted as evidence.

Peter Cook began sobbed while under cross-examination from his own attorney.
