It really isn't a surprise that architect Peter Cook was seen having a manicure this week. His claws were being sharpened for his divorce trial with model Christie Brinkley.

Mr. Cook, he who was the architect of his marriage's demise by having an affair with an 18...

When Hillary Clinton finally divorces herself from delusion and exits from the race, the two remaining candidates, Barack Obama and John McCain, will be part of a historic campaign -- the first time in American history where both candidates have been affected by divorce.

Barack Obama's mother,...

JP Morgan's CEO Jamie Dimon was able to financially rape Bear Stearns employees with a bargain basement bid sanctioned by the Treasury Department that wiped out years of deferred compensation and now is reportedly trying to enslave them by strong-arming the rest of Wall Street away from hiring refugees.

It's easy for many women to say, "I'd dump the bastard," until it actually happens to them. Many women across America are faced with unfaithful husbands during the course of a marriage and weigh the pros and cons of divorce.

What are the odds of Silda staying...

When NBC's Tim Russert questioned Senator Barack Obama on being far to the left, Obama should have responded with pride, and said, "Well yes, I am a lefty and am in great company."

Many presidents who are quite deft have functioned on the left.

Just ask Hillary Clinton....

At my son's basketball game last weekend, a father compared the upcoming Super Bowl to a battle between destiny vs. dynasty. Hmmm, I thought to myself, maybe the Super Bowl is also a metaphor for Super Tuesday. Doesn't Obama have a lot of similarities to the Giants?

Even after all these years, it surprises me how powerless one can feel as a stepparent. This crystallized again over the holiday card when I unsuccessfully tried to arrange a group photo of my son and two stepdaughters.

Unlike my 10-year-old son, with whom I can say, "Please...

Poor Heather Mills. She is truly a desperate housewife. Like many, she didn't fully digest how her "wifestyle" would disappear after breaking-up with a husband of fame and fortune. She was so used to the flashbulbs and fawning friends as the wife of Sir Paul McCartney that she became...

To the cynic, the UN General Assembly can seem like a high school cafeteria where a group of diplomats, foreign ministers and politicians spend lots of time in cliques plotting, posturing and whispering. Then there are the bullies and despots in the bunch who throw intimidating spitballs and absurdly get...

I'm not worried about Sally Field's Emmy award speech being cut since she should have censored herself after the first rambling "umm." With all the time, money and effort that Hollywood stars spend on finding the right dress, haircut, jewelry and make-up, couldn't they spend a little effort...

It is a myth that time heals all wounds. Any anniversary of a loved one's death becomes a crowbar in the calendar that reopens those wounds again. What is more accurate to say is that the loss of someone you love creates a permanent hole in your heart that never...

Sending my 9-year-old son off to sleepaway camp involved ardent discussions between my husband -- who wanted him to learn independence -- and moi -- who worried I would miss him too much.

After realizing that sleepaway camp offered a roller coaster ride of non-stop fun with all his favorite...

In the universal quest to one up each other, there are few places where you can keep score as closely as Wall Street. When Steven Schwarzman raised $4.75 billion to take the Blackstone Group public, poor Henry Kravis surely felt diminished that his company wasn't raking in as much...

I never thought I could relate to Angelina Jolie, but suddenly I have an opportunity.

Because I too have a mother-in-law who is friendly with my husband's ex-wife.

The truth is that when people divorce, little thought is given to the fact that it is not only the husband and...

This weekend, moms across America will be biting their tongues not to diss their exes when their kids visit their dads for Father's Day. And it will not be easy.

One friend wanted to say to her son as he left clutching his Batman backpack, "Have a good...

Many people will admit to tolerating and even loving their friends faults which can include being as promiscuous as Paris Hilton, as messy as Michael Moore or as uninhibited as Sacha Baron Cohen. But once these same friends become parents, the stakes become higher and suddenly what was once amusing...

Our U.S. passports have been redesigned with 28 pages of patriotic images. But a bald eagle, bison and the towering figures of Mt. Rushmore are not going to make me rush out and present it with an invigorated sense of pride. In fact, this heretofore proud American sadly bought a...
