Cindy Crawford and her husband Rande Gerber are the latest celebrities to be caught up in an extortion drama involving a bizarre photo of their eight year-old daughter, Kaia.

TMZ reported that a very strange photo of Kaia (taken when she was seven) was stolen from a former nanny by an acquaintance named Edis Kayalar. The photo depicts her “bound to a chair and gagged,” TMZ noted, as part of the nanny’s “cops and robbers game.” (The parents were unaware of this “game.”) Edis Kayalar subsequently threatened to sell the photo, thus beginning a blackmailing plot.

A rep for Cindy an Rande released the following statement:

A criminal complaint was filed today in federal court in Los Angeles by the U.S. Attorney’s office and the FBI stating that Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford have been the victims of an on-going extortion scheme. This crime has been committed by Edis Kayalar, an acquaintance of a former nanny employed by the family. Mr. Kayalar threatened to sell an image taken of the couple’s then-seven-year-old daughter. There was no previous awareness by Mr. Gerber and Ms. Crawford of the existence of the photograph when they were contacted by Mr. Kayalar. The photo was taken by the former nanny as part of a purported game without the knowledge of the parents. The couple reported the extortion threat to the police and the FBI began a criminal investigation in the matter. Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford intend to pursue any and all available legal action against anyone who aids the perpetrator in the distribution or sale of the photograph of their daughter.

So strange! That sounds like a very strange game for nanny to be introducing a little girl to…ugh! And don’t celebrities have nanny-cams all over the house!?

(In the above pic Angelina was snapped out with Zahara and Shiloh in October)

Rumor has it that Angelina is set to adopt another child to add to her growing brood. Reportedly, she is looking at adopting a baby from Syria to complete her rainbow family.

However according to OK! magazine Angelina, 34, is doing so alone without partner Brad Pitt ,45. Brad is apparently not keen on adding another child to their family.

OK! magazine said that Angelina is intending to head to the Middle East to rescue a girl after three previous adoptions from Africa and Asia.

A source said: ‘[Brad] has made it clear that six children are more than he can handle.

‘The idea of one more seemed ludicrous, but Angie is determined to complete her rainbow family.’

And it appears when Angelina sets her mind to something, no one can stop her. Angelina adopted son Maddox, now eight, from Cambodia while still married to actor Billy Bob Thornton, but received sole custody following their divorce. She has two other adopted children, Zahara, four, and Pax, who turns five later this month.
And she has three biological children with Pitt, Shiloh, three, and 16-month-old twins Knox and Vivienne.

A spokesman for the Immigration and Naturalization Service in DC said that ‘only [Angelina's] name [was] on the [adoption] papers’.

Meanwhile, Angelina’s father Jon Voight, 70, has confirmed that he has reconciled with his daughter. Jon admitted that he and Angelina have got back in touch after they fell out in 2001.

It is also being reported in the new book ‘Brangelina: The Untold Story of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’ that “they’ve broken up so many times it would make your head spin.”

The book also claims Angelina “has a temper like a cobra.” The book even alleges that she confessed to hiring a hit man to kill her in 1998 because she was so distraught.

Us magazine reported that Angelina still has her battles with Brad, 45 – especially when it comes to their six children.

“They fight all the time about the kids – where to put toys, saying the wrong thing to a nanny, not cleaning up,” one source told Us magazine. “Like cats and dogs.”

Uh oh!

Celine Dion is no longer pregnant, her husband has confirmed.

Rene Angelil told Canadian newspaper Journal de Montreal that the latest in vitro fertilization treatment she underwent last month was unsuccessful.

“We’re living the reality of the majority of couples who face these procreation techniques,” he told the paper.

Celine, 41, who was due to give birth in May, confirmed this past August that she was expecting.

Celine and Rene have an 8-year-old son, Rene-Charles, who was conceived by in vitro fertilization after six years of trying. While trying to conceive her first child, she had her embryos frozen in liquid nitrogen.

When she finished her concert run in Las Vegas in 2007, she consulted Dr. Zev Rosenwaks in New York City about trying to conceive again.

Celine (who is the youngest of 14 children) has long talked about wanting to have more kids.

“We’d love to extend the family,” she said on CBS’ The Early Show last December.

Sarah Michelle Gellar recently explained why she waited so long to start a family with her husband, Freddie Prinze Jr.

“I always say, the minute you start dating someone, people ask, ‘When are you getting engaged?’ And the minute you get engaged, they ask, ‘When are you getting married?’ “ Sarah Michelle told People magazine. “And then the minute you get married, they ask, ‘When are you having a baby?’ “

Sarah Michelle, 32, and Freddie Prinze Jr., 33, waited seven years before welcoming their daughter, Charlotte Grace, on September 19th.

“Becoming a parent is the most selfless act, and you need to be at a point in your life where you can give up anything and everything for a child,” Sarah Michelle said of waiting to start a family. “I don’t know if you know how to do that when you’re in your 20s.”

Her husband agreed: “I’m so happy we didn’t have kids in our 20s – I just didn’t know a thing. You have so much more patience in your 30s, and I feel like I appreciate this so much more.”

Charlotte, according to her mom and dad, was well worth the wait. “Every day I look at her and I am in awe,” said Sarah Michelle. And Sarah Michelle knows the question that she will now be asked. “The minute you have a baby, everyone asks, ‘When are you going to have another one?’ “

Stroller maker Maclaren announced a recall on Monday that affects about 1 million umbrella strollers that can reportedly amputate or lacerate children’s fingertips.

So far, the company said there have been 12 amputations across the country. This happens when children get their fingers stuck in between the stroller’s side hinges while it is being opened or closed.

The South Norwalk, Conn.-based company announced the voluntary recall in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and advises customers to stop using the products manufactured in China sold since 1999 at stores including Babies R Us and Target.

Consumers can contact Maclaren at 877-688-2326 or visit www.maclaren.us/recall to receive a free repair kit.

Maclaren said the kit includes hinge covers designed to fit all Maclaren strollers.

The recall affects the following models, which range in price from $100 to $400: Volo, Triumph, Quest Sport, Quest Mod, Techno XT, TechnoXLR, Twin Triumph, Twin Techno, and Easy Traveller.
