no rocks are coming from this side of the playing field I assure you. It's just an observation that once again, no matter how things may appear; you never know what's on the other side of door number three.

Sure, the faade is attractive. She's the "Uptown Girl" after all; beautiful, blonde, and ambitious with a high powered career, high profile romances and well, a house in the Hamptons...........it's got to be better than my life, right? Wrong.

Over five painful days.and yes, it was painful, we learned the lurid and tawdry details of Christie Brinkley's seemingly perfect life. The well crafted, carefully constructed, perfect exterior imploded from the inside out. Internet pornography, adultery, bad parenting, step-father issues and a psychiatrist telling us that Peter Cook has an insatiable ego, brought down yet another poorly constructed mansion of a life.

So there you have it. Good looks, good jobs and lots-o-money once again fails to deliver what we are all looking for - love, acceptance, belonging and meaning in life. Marketing strategies, sales pitches, brand names or even a house in the Hamptons won't cut it. Build your house on the wrong foundation and it won't take much for the winds and storms of life to blow it down.

I don't not wish Christie Brinkley ill, nor am I rejoicing in any of her failures, like I said, I have my own. It's just another lesson that no matter what color you paint the house, or how lovely you landscape it, it's the interior that makes it a home.

But hey, Christie, you're still a knock out.
