user: Real Housewives of Atlanta

An emotional Cynthia Bailey made the tough decision to begin divorce proceedings from husband Peter Thomas on the Real Housewives of Atlanta premiere. And on Sunday’s episode, the 48-year-old supermodel and her estranged husband come face to face for an emotional meeting.

In an exclusive sneak peek at the episode, Thomas tells Bailey that a hospital visit recently made him realize that she could no longer be his emergency contact. It’s a revelation that brings Bailey to tears.

“Just because we’re going through a divorce [doesn’t] mean I don’t care what happens to you,” she tells her ex, 56. “You’ve been my friend for eight years. You’ve been that person that I call.”

Like she had revealed to her lawyer previously, Bailey tells Thomas she wants their marriage to end peacefully.

“People say when you get divorced you can’t be friends and it’s going to be all this nasty stuff, like we’re gonna hate each other. And I don’t hate you. I don’t want to hate you,” she says. “I still want to be friends with you.”

Bailey even mentions her 17-year-old daughter Noelle Robinson, telling Thomas, “[I] still want you to have a relationship with Noelle — she’s know you since you were 8 years old. You’ve been like a second dad to her.”

“I love you, I respect you. I just can’t be married to you — that’s it,” she confesses.

She brings up a conversation the two had in their early days of dating. “When I first met you, we had that conversation about if we’re ever not happy, are you the kind of person to just settle to just be in something?” she said. “And you told me no.”

It’s a conversation that appears to give Thomas the motivation to move forward. “I do want to see you happy,” he tells her — before calling her lawyer, Daniel Meachum, and agreeing to sign off off on whatever he sends.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta airs Sundays (8 p.m. ET) on Bravo.

Problem: Governor parks his jet for climate summit trip

Looks like Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is turning over a new green leaf on his trip today to Copenhagen - he's flying commercial and leaving the Gulfstream in the garage.

Schwarzenegger is heading to Denmark for the world climate summit, where he's expected to tout California's role as a leader in dealing with greenhouse gas emissions.

Although the governor's office declined to provide details of the trip for security reasons, a spokeswoman confirmed the boss was being booked on a commercial flight. The idea apparently is to show that Arnold is heeding his own advice when it comes to conserving energy by leaving his personal jet at home.

The governor has already converted his fleet of gas-guzzling Hummers to natural-gas vehicles. But he's always been loath to give up private jet travel.

During one jet jaunt a couple of years back, Schwarzenegger had no fewer than 13 flights over a two-week stretch on his schedule. At the time, aides said he was paying for his polluting ways by purchasing green credits.

Incidentally, Schwarzenegger will have a lot of company on his trip to Copenhagen. He's bringing 20 state employees, including six from his staff.

Their expenses are all being paid by the governor's corporate-sponsored Protocol Foundation and two separate nonprofits that deal with climate change policy.

Hiding the ball: Critics and supporters of the 49ers' plan to move to Santa Clara agree that the team's decision to put its own stadium initiative on the city's ballot moves the project a lot closer to the goal line.

The Niners are financing Santa Clarans for Economic Progress, the group circulating petitions to put the stadium to a vote in June. A source close to the team tells us the 49ers' attorneys came up with the idea when they realized they were open to time-consuming legal and environmental challenges if the city placed the plan before voters.

Sure enough, just before the City Council approved the city's stadium plan for the ballot last week, owners of Great America filed just such a suit, challenging Santa Clara's study on the environmental effects of building the stadium next to the fun park.

Incidentally, winning a city vote doesn't get the stadium built. Paying for it remains the biggest challenge.

It's not getting any easier either, now that both Caltrans and the Valley Transportation Authority have weighed in with a new wish list of transit and traffic goodies they want the 49ers to help finance if the project does go ahead.

Password prisoner: After nearly a year and a half in jail, San Francisco's alleged cyberterrorist, Terry Childs, finally appears to be headed for trial this week.

Childs, who worked in the city's Technology Department until his arrest in July 2008, is accused of one felony count stemming from his alleged refusal to give his bosses the passwords to the FiberWAN computer network he had built. He could get three years in state prison if convicted.

After his arrest, Childs made national headlines when he called Mayor Gavin Newsomdown to the jail and gave him the passwords.

The mayor was happy, but District Attorney Kamala Harriswas furious at the nose thumbing. She got a judge to hold Childs on $5 million bail, after prosecutors said Childs had set it up so that with a mere phone call he could tap into and melt down the city's computer system.

Since then, Childs has sat in jail and by all accounts been a model prisoner - one who has full access to a pay phone.

Honor guard: Some 70 Oakland police officers flew up to the Northwest last week to attend the memorial service for the four slain cops from Lakewood, Wash. - all on their own time, and all on their own dime.

Police departments often send delegations to the funeral when a cop is killed. But in Oakland - which lost four officers of its own in March when a wanted rapist opened fire - the Washington killings were especially painful.

True blue: Assembly Speaker-to-be John Pérez may hail from L.A. - he's even the cousin of Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa - but he's got true-blue Berkeley blood in his veins.

So much so that the UC Berkeley alum included the image of Cal's Golden Bear - strikingly similar to the silhouette of the state bear - atop his "Pérez for Assembly" Web site.

UC Berkeley's LGBT Alumni Club recently recognized Pérez - who will become the Assembly's first openly gay speaker - as its Man of the Year.
