I think she took the pics after the accident to prove it was unsafe for Alexa to ride in a car with him, due to the drinking and driving and accidents and whatnot. Maybe now that he's been in and out of rehab a few times they could, maybe, possibly reunite? That would so make my pre-teen Uptown-Girl-loving-Billy-and-Christie-dream-odd-couple worshipping self squee with happiness.

The third husband was a con artist. I think his name was Rick or Rich Taubman. Anyway, IIRC she got him to relinquish his parental rights to the child they had together. That is a stone cold get out of my life forever move. I think she paid him about $2 million to go away. Although that should tell you how pathetic the guy is if he's willing to take money over his own flesh and blood.

It's disturbing that he let himself get so old and fat (yeah, I know it happens - but it seemed to happen to him overnight). Even after he claimed to have lost a bunch of weight, I didn't see it. And the gray beard is no help.

How is that she looks that good at 52? How is that possible?

Anyhow, when they (she and BJ) originally broke up, the reason I heard was that he was making fun of her age (!) and that, as a former model, it messed with her head. First, she wasn't that old (and still isn't) at the time and second, what kind of husband teases his younger wife about getting old? I wouldn't like to see them back together. Plus, so many of his songs are misogynist. Really, think about them. Even when it's subtly done, so many of his songs are putting women down. I know a lot of women think "She's Only A Woman To Me" is a tribute to women, but come on! Listen to the words! The guy hates or is threatened by women! Oh, but as far as Christie Brinkley, I've always mixed her up with Cheryl Tiegs. All those white-bread blond models from around then look alike to me. It was a look that was popular for awhile.

I always liked her (and Rachel Hunter for the same reason) because they actually had bodies.... they were never anorexic waifs.

Well, the waif trend was after her time. Wasn't it? I remember that most of the supermodels of that time tended to be a bit more "normal" than they are now.
She's boring pretty to me. Completely unimaginative. Like a Barbie doll or something.

I'm not into her look. She looks like a prettier-than-average Scottsdale soccer mom. Great body, though.
That said, I saw her on that ABC Hamptons special that was on a few years back (the one that used that bad Sheryl Crowe song), and she seemed really nice and relatively down to earth. I feel bad for her; I had no idea she'd ben married four times. That's a serious run of bad luck.

No comment on the content of his songs, but <whisper>the song title is "She's Always a Woman"</whisper>

Married 4 times, PLUS engaged to (or lived with) some race car driver that ended up getting killed in an accident. So, she's had her share of fellows. And, each time, she claims that "this is the guy for me" in some big Good Housekeeping spread. Of course, dolt that I am, I read them all from start to finish. For some unknown reason, I've kept tabs on Christie Brinkley since the 70s. I still think she's about as gorgeous as they come. I once saw her on some "day in the life of Christie Brinkley" show where she claimed that being a supermodel wasn't as great of a life as everyone thinks it is. That they have problems just like real people. For instance, she'd give anything for a decent night's worth of sleep. (I swear she said this.) Perhaps that's when I became so fascinated by this woman. I seriously thought she'd finally found her Mr. Right with this last guy. He adopted her son from that ill fated 3rd marriage, and then they'd had their daughter, Sailor (who looks as though she's definitely inherited both of their blonde good looks). Nice home in the Hamptons...he had a nice career as an architect/model. She's kept up her ties to the modeling world. Seriously, they seemed as though they had it all. And lord knows she'd kept her looks. But, I know he's a good 10 years younger than she is and (as I recall) this was his first marriage. Maybe he wants to go younger at that position? She'll be on the cover of GH again in less the 6 months. Mark my words!
