PETER Cook’s slimy seduction of 19-year-old Diana Bianchi has a silver lining for another college-age cutie. Fawn Gettling, a video studies major at the Art Institute of New York City, was forced to drop out when she ran out of tuition money – but before she quit, she produced a student documentary on then-unknown Bianchi’s struggle with anorexia and bulimia. When the Cook scandal broke, Gettling knew what she had and quickly peddled her golden footage to "Entertainment Tonight," "The Insider," "Inside Edition" and "The Cosby Report." That made her enough moolah to resume her studies. "She was in the right place at the right time – but she also has real talent because her film was shown at the Hamptons Film Festival two years ago," said school flack Midge Elias. Meanwhile, those who want to punish Cook for cheating on Christie Brinkley should check out Hamptons.com’s kitschy video game, Whack-A-Hamptonite. It lets players bonk the pop-up heads of Cook, Brinkley and Samantha Cole with the click of a mouse.
