Peter Cook feels: Nervous. 
According to a source of the Post's, Cook "desperately" wants to "spare his kids the pain" of a public trial. Right, sure. Concern for his kids is probably also why, last year, Cook paid Diana Bianchi $300,000 to never, ever talk about their affair ever. Cook is also feeling like he would like Bianchi's stepdad, ex–Southampton Village cop Brian Platt, to stay 100 feet away from him at all times.
Diana Bianchi feels: Grossed out, probably.
Bianchi feels, according to the Post, like "she should not be blamed for the breakup of a marriage." She also feels that even though she took the $300,000, she will testify against Cook if compelled. Sorry! Laws and all that.
Suzanne Shaw feels: Oblivious? 
Cook's new girlfriend, a comparatively wizened 38-year old, tells the Post that Cook "obviously made one mistake, but that doesn't erase years of being a good person." Then again, Shaw was married to a celebrity dentist, Robert DiPilla, who, according to the Post, left her when she was six months pregnant. So she may not be exactly the best judge of character.
Christie Brinkley feels: Justified. 
Brinkley feels that by ensuring that her divorce is a nascent media circus,"she has taken the high road," according to, um, Fox News. That's right. And she is PUMPED. Let's roll!
