Christie Brinkley and Peter Cook: They reached an out-of-court settlement, but only after several days of trial testimony exposed lurid details of architect Cook's affair with a teenage assistant and his predilection for Internet porn.

James McGreevey and and Dina Matos: She was at her husband's side when he announced in 2004 that he was gay and resigned as New Jersey governor over an affair with a man. In a memoir, she said he hid his homosexuality; he denied it. He said they had trysts with a man; she denied that. A judge ruled in August he has to pay child support -- but no alimony.

Bill Murray and Jennifer Butler: When she filed for divorce in May, Butler alleged the funnyman actor abused her and was addicted to marijuana and alcohol. She also alleged he would often leave home without telling her, traveling overseas to engage in "public and private altercations and sexual liaisons." Murray refused to comment on the allegations.

Nevada Gov. Jim Gibbons and Dawn Gibbons: When Gibbons filed for divorce from his wife of 22 years in May, he also sought a court order to evict Nevada's first lady from the governor's mansion in Carson City, Nev. In court papers, Dawn Gibbons accused her husband of abandoning their marriage because of his "infatuation and involvement" with the wife of a unnamed doctor. In June, the couple announced they were suspending divorce proceedings. Stay tuned.

Cook sat down recently for his first interview since the nasty divorce trial that rocked headlines this past summer.

Barbara Walters nabbed the exclusive for this Friday's 20/20. While we have yet to see the full video, ABC News promises that Walters covers "what went wrong, his affair with a teenager and the $300,000 payout to her, his reported $3,000-a-month Internet pornography addiction and why he was willing to have his dirtiest secrets revealed in the fight over access to their children after the divorce." Watch Barbara Walters Preview Her Interview with Peter Cook

Fast Forward to Some Highlights:

· Why Did He Have an Affair with Diana Bianchi? "I was seeking a connection I could not find in my own marriage. I think the emotional aspect of our lives had changed. I think we were both feeling more like we were living with a brother and sister than a life partner. I think I just suddenly realized when I was getting attention from someone else that this is something that is missing in my life."

· Why Is He Speaking Out Now?"My hope is that the world will see that I'm not the scum bag pervert that I've been painted to be," he said. "The misinformation that came out during the trial is the elephant in the room. It's the elephant in the room for my kids. And I'm hoping maybe if I can correct some of the wrongs."

· Will Brinkley See His Interview? "I don't think I can avoid that. But I think if she does, what I hope comes of it is that she takes the time to heal herself. And she goes back and remembers that I made a mistake, but that I am that person that she wrote the poems about, that she raved about in magazine articles and anybody who she could get & twist their ear to listen. I am that person today, that I was then."

Why should any woman have to give an x husband money? It's their money and THEY made it. The men should go out and get a job, instead of living off of their X wives money, and probably spending it on women. Britney shouldn't have had to give K Fed-X anything. He was a nobody till he married her. Christy Briknkly should not have to give that cheating Husband anything, nor should Madonna have to give Guy Richie anything, maybe just enough to tide them over till they get a job. Several years ago, Rue McClanahan of The Golden Girls, had to give an Ex Husband her Son's college money for a settlement, and It was HER son, not even his. Why should some uncaring Judge make her do that? I thought It was just AWFUL. Women should not have to pay alimoney or give their money to useless men, unless they want to, of course. I never got any child support from my kids father and me and the kids step father,whom I am still married to 30 years later, raised my kids.From Michele, in Texas

If she can express herself and expose him to the whole world, then he can do the same. Didn't she think that this would happen? These people should move on already.

NOTHING GOOD HAS EVER, OR WILL EVER, COME FROM ENGAGING IN INTERRACIAL MIXED RELATIONSHIPS, AND IT WON'T FOR THESE TWO EX-SPOUSES EITHER, WHO WILL UNDOUBTEDLY CONTINUE DOING IT OVER & OVER AGAIN BECAUSE THEY ARE WAY TOO STUPID TO KNOW BETTER. IT WAS AN INTERRACIAL RELATIONSHIP WHICH RUINED THIS MARRIAGE, BUT BRINKLEY PROBABLY WASN'T THERE FOR HIM AT ALL, BECAUSE SHE IS PROBABLY A VERY SELF SERVING, GREEDY, SPOILED AND NARCISSISTIC PERSON WHOSE MORALS & ETHICS ARE ALL MESSED UP. VERY, VERY, VERY BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO PEOPLE WHO ENGAGE IN INTERRACIAL RELATIONSHIPS, AND/OR TO THOSE THEY LOVE THE MOST WHO ACCEPT, SUPPORT, AND CONDONE SUCH ILLICIT, VILE & DISGUSTING BEHAVOR!!!. SHAME ON THEM, AND SHAME ON ANYONE ELSE WHO DOES IT, FOR THEY WILL PAY THE ULTIMATE PRICE FOR THEIR BETRAYAL!!. GUARANTEED!!.

SHE HAS GOTTEN EVERYTHING SHE DESERVES, AND THIS INCLUDES THAT SLEAZY RACE TRADER EX-HUSBAND OF HERS. THEY ACTUALLY DESERVE ONE ANOTHER. I KNEW LONG AGO THAT SHE WOULD HAVE A LIFE TIME OF HELL, SUFFERING, PAIN, MISERY & TRAGEDY PAYING OR HER ACTIONS & BEHAVIOR, STARTING FROM THE TIME WHEN SHE ENGAGED IN AN INTERRACIAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THAT ITALIAN RACE CAR DRIVER WHO WAS KILLED, THEN WITH ALL HER MARITAL PROBLEMS, PLANE & CAR ACCIDENTS, AND HER UNHAPPY MARRIAGE & DIVORCE FROM BOTH JOEL & COOK, ETC,. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS TO PEOPLE WHO THINK THEY CAN BETRAY THEIR OWN RACE, ANCESTORS, FAMILY, FRIENDS, SOCIETY, AND THE CREATOR, WHO MADE THE DECISION TO CREATE GENETICALLY DIFFERENT RACES, AND DID SO FOR A GOOD REASON!

She was probably peri menopausal, when your sex drive ebbs in women. I've given Testosterone shots to women to reignite their sex drives. As Zsa Zsa said "men are like fires, if you don't tend to them, they go out at night".

Am I the only one who wishes Barbara Walters would just go away? And take that nasty, stupid program, The View, with her. And all of her other stupid, insipid interviews. She makes me sick.

Excuse me? You sleep with a teenager while you are married, try to pay her off to keep quiet, and spend $3,000 per month on internet porn and you think an interview will convince people you are NOT a scum bag pervert? Good luck on that one dipweed!

A mistake??? You have got to be kidding me, NO a mistake is accidently putting the milk in the cupboard instead of the fridge, not sleeping with some one else for a very long time, and then trying to pay her off, plain and simple you are scum and a complete dumbass...look at what you gave up Einstein!!
