Christie Brinkley's estranged husband Peter Cook agreed to pay his former teenage lover $300,000 (?150,000) to persuade her to keep the details of their affair private, according to reports. The supermodel and Cook are in the midst of a bitter divorce battle after the pair split amid rumours he had an affair with his 18-year-old assistant Diane Bianchi. And Cook reportedly gave Bianchi a lump sum in a bid to keep her quiet about their torrid affair, as well as preventing her from filing a sexual harassment suit against him, reports People.com. It is known the pair settled out of court last year , but the sum has been previously reported as undisclosed. A source tells People.com, "Peter settled because he wanted to his children left out of it. That's the difference between them - he wants the children left out of it and (Brinkley) wants the kids in it." However, details of the affair and forthcoming divorce proceedings will not be kept private - after the former supermodel won a the right to keep the proceedings open to the public in a motion filed last week . Brinkley's lawyers will reportedly call Bianchi to the witness stand in the divorce case.

Add a musical composition to all the tributes at next year's 200th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth.
Ramsey Lewis has been commissioned to compose a new work inspired by Lincoln's life. It's being commissioned by the Ravinia Festival, a musical festival north of Chicago. Ravinia has already asked choreographer Bill T. Jones to create a dance theater work as part of the seasonlong celebration of Lincoln.
In announcing the jazz pianist's new untitled work, Ravinia said it will present programs focusing on Lincoln's life and musicians of his day.
The 73-year-old Lewis, Ravinia's artistic director for jazz, said he was pleased that the Lincoln celebration will feature the works of two black people - Jones and himself.
"I think it's extraordinary that in this year when an African-American has a viable shot at the White House that Ravinia would bookend its Lincoln celebration with the works from the black perspective," he said in a statement.
Lewis also said it is appropriate that Lincoln's story should be told through the "purely American music" of jazz.

Tommy Lee - Tommy Lee Gives Up Meat For Pam
Rocker TOMMY LEE has "gone veggie" in a bid to build a new romance with his ex-wife PAMELA ANDERSON.
The former Baywatch babe, who is a longtime vegetarian and animal rights activist, has moved in with Lee, sparking reports of a romantic reunion.
And the Motley Crue star has confirmed the on-off couple is giving their relationship another chance, stating, "Pamela and the kids have moved in with me. It's awesome, man. It's definitely working."
And his decision to quit meat may have helped him win back the wife he divorced 10 years ago (1998).
He says, "I just went vegetarian (and) I dig it, I feel lighter, I like it.
"I figured that this is something I hadn't done yet but wanted to. At this point in my life, I'm down to trying anything I haven't done yet."
