Does anyone else see the comparisons between former supermodel Christie Brinkley and Kim Basinger? Both have crazed exes (Peter Cook for Christie, Alec Baldwin for Basinger) who love to overshare with the press about how much they hate their ex-wives, both seem totally long-suffering, and both are, uh, blond?

But it's a particularly sad day for Brinkley, who was just denied a restraining order against former Hampton's architect Cook, despite the man's total lack of judgment and regard for his children's well-being in deciding to spread their dirty laundry out for Barbara Walter's this weekend on 20/20.

Now, California law may be biased on the side of the mothers (according to men like Baldwin and Cook, and perhaps even Federline), but do you really think this is the type of guy who deserves his children?

He told the judge on the stand that he, Cook, used his son’s computer to participate in Internet sex; that he sat there at the computer naked and pleasured himself while the kids were off at various activities. He also cultivated a 17-year-old girl by giving her an office job and then had an affair with her while she was still in high school.

If anything, Brinkley deserves that restraining order, and maybe a gagball to prevent her ex from going all Michael Lohan once the kid's reach the age of profitability. The question is: why is Barbara even putting him on the air? Unlike Baldwin, Cook is not a celebrity in his own right, he's just some doofus who got lucky. Now, as Fox puts it, "Peter Cook is a press junkie, and Barbara Walters is his dealer."
