Christie Brinkley - Brinkleys Eldest Child Defends Open Divorce Decision
LATEST: CHRISTIE BRINKLEY's daughter with rocker BILLY JOEL is proud of her model mother for making her divorce battle with PETER COOK public.
Brinkley, 54, is due to fight estranged husband Cook in a New York court on Wednesday (02Jul08), when their divorce goes to trial.
She filed for a legal separation in 2006, over his alleged affair with a then-18-year-old assistant.
According to reports, among Brinkley's divorce allegations are claims that Cook trawled the internet for women and porn.
The beauty, who has kids Jack, 12, and Sailor, nine with Cook, has been criticised by her ex and their children's guardian Theresa Mari for making their divorce proceedings open to the press - but Alexa Ray Joel, 22, has praised her mum's efforts.
She tells People magazine, "She's standing up for herself. I think that is admirable. There's such overwhelming support for her."

Fbi - Kellys Defence Hit Hard In Experts Testimonies
LATEST: A video forensics expert has shattered R. KELLY's defence in his child pornography trial after matching a mole on the singer's back to that of the man in the sex tape at the centre of the case.
The troubled R+B star stands accused of videotaping himself having sex with a 13-year-old girl. He has pleaded not guilty to all 14 counts of child pornography.
The Bump N' Grind hitmaker's defence team recently told a Chicago, Illinois court that the person in the explicit video could not be their client, because the two men bore key physical differences - most noticeably a dark fingernail-sized mole on the star's back.
But on Thursday (29May08), the prosecution brought out a forensics expert who appeared to have identified the missing mole.
He compared a photo of Kelly's back following his arrest in 2002 to several stills of the man's back in the sex tape.
He told the court: "There is a mark on the man's back in the exact same position (as Kelly's)."
Thursday's court proceedings also saw an FBI forensics expert take to the stand, verifying the legitimacy of the tape and insisting it was not a fake.
The testimony of the FBI's George Skaluae was another blow to Kelly's defence, as his lawyers have continually argued the tape could have been digitally altered to bear the singer's likeness.
The trial continues.

Raef gets fired on The Apprentice
Raef Bjayou has become the latest contestant to be fired by Alan Sugar on 'The Apprentice'.
The 27-year-old entrepreneur said afterwards that he felt he was sacked because he was not as "in your face" as his rivals.
"I learnt a lot about myself on 'The Apprentice', about how I can improve myself as a businessman," he said.
"I learnt that as a leader if you are put in charge of a group of people, to use the legal jargon, the burden of proof is on you to prove what other people's skills are."
"It's important when leading a team to draw out the skills of other people, even when they might not be so forthcoming with those skills.
"A good leader inspires confidence in him, but a great leader inspires others to have confidence with themselves. That's what I did.
Speaking about why Sugar decided to fire, Raef said: "I just think I didn't come across as gritty enough."
"The others are more in your face, and that's how Sir Alan got to where he is today."
Last night the team that Raef was leading failed their task, which involved designing a new brand of tissues and building an advertising campaign around the brand.
