Spotted: Christie Brinkley's Night Out

The beautiful Christie Brinkley isn't letting a difficult divorce battle keep her down. The model was seen enjoying a gorgeous Saturday evening out in the Hamptons, where she received a special honor from the American Heart Association. 

Brinkley received the Humanitarian with Heart award at the 12th Annual Heart of the Hamptons Gala for her commitment to helping children live healthier lives.

She said she is very honored to receive the award from the American Heart Association since her own mother has suffered five strokes that originated in the heart. She said she is convinced that research from the cardiac organization made it possible for her mother to be alive today.

Even though on Friday a judge ruled that Brinkley's divorce case would be made open to the public, she told "The Insider" that she was still hopeful it would be settled privately. Watch "The Insider" on TV Monday for more on Brinkley's weekend and her upcoming divorce trial.
