Brinkley, Cook Can't Make a Deal, Trial Resumes

It looks like Christie Brinkley will have to pray a little harder.
The supermodel's salacious divorce trial resumed this afternoon, after a four-hour-plus delay failed to produce a settlement with estranged hubby Peter Cook.
"We're going back into trial...I still remain very hopeful," Brinkley told reporters as she walked back into the courthouse at 2:45 p.m.
Taking the stand a little after 3 p.m. to serve as yet another character witness on behalf of Brinkley's camp was Southampton piano teacher, Christine Glennon, who told of the Vacation star's devotion to the couple's two children.
"I observed that Christie was a very kind, warm mother and taught the children respect and was a stickler about their manners," Glennon said.
After a brief meeting in the judge's chambers, the trial was stopped again at around 4 p.m. and court was adjourend for the day, with testimony set to resume tomorrow.
Earlier this morning, reps from Ford modeling agency and William Morris testified that Brinkley planned her work schedule around her kids' needs.
About an hour into the trial's fifth day, however, New York Supreme Court Justice Robert S. Cohen temporarily halted the case at the behest of both sides, prompting rumors that Brinkley and her architect-husband were close to hashing out an arrangement to resolve what's turning out to be an increasingly nasty custody battle.
The lawyers were tightlipped about whether a deal was imminent—or even in the works—but upon leaving the Long Island courthouse just before lunchtime, Brinkley told reporters a settlement "is what I hope and pray for."
When asked his opinion, Cook only replied: "Do you like a cake when it's half-baked or when it's finished?"
