    SPL149540_005

    The Hope for Haiti telethon reached over and above disaster relief records to raise a staggering $57 million – and counting.

    The blockbuster tally emerged over the weekend following the star-studded call-a-thon put together at the 11th hour by George Clooney and Wyclef Jean and held on Friday.

    Stars such as Rihanna, Bono, Taylor Swift, Jennifer Hudson and Madonna gave stirring performances, while countless others, including Mel Gibson, Meg Ryan, Jennifer Aniston, Ellen DeGeneres, Stevie Wonder and Cindy Crawford, manned the phones.

    Clooney, who emerged in a goatee and plain sweater, said: “At the core of every religion is the belief that we care for one another, we take care of each other especially in times of need. The Haitian people need our help, they need to know they’re not alone, they need to know we still care.”

    Lisa Paulsen, head of the Entertainment Industry Foundation, said the event has set a record for disaster relief telethons.

    Broadcast from New York, Los Angeles, London and Haiti, it was beamed around the world by all the big US TV networks and streamed via YouTube and other internet channels with the aim of reaching into 640 million households. Recordings of the event were instantly available on iTunes and other music sites.

  • Cindy Crawford targeted in alleged blackmail

    SPL137235_001

    German authorities are on the hunt for a man who allegedly targeted supermodel Cindy Crawford in a bid to extort US$100,000 from her and her husband Rande Gerber.

    A mug shot of the alleged extortionist wanted in Germany, Edis Kayalar, 26, was flashed around the world. He has recently been deported back to Germany from the US and believed to be in Stuttgart.

    Kayalar allegedly used a photo of the couple’s daughter gagged and bound to a chair in shorts to blackmail them, authorities said. Crawford and Gerber have two children.

    Kayalar has been charged and could face up to two years in prison. The photo was taken by the child’s nanny for a game of cops and robbers, an affadavit in the case stated.

    The suspect is believed to have stolen the photo. He met with Gerber at a bar and showed it along with a chilling handwritten note that read: “The babysitter went crazy and tied everyone up and they need your help! Please.”

    Gerber paid him US$1,000 in cash for the photo and “for his trouble”, the affidavit said. But Kayalar is accused of demanding more money for a copy of the photo.

    “He believed he could have received US$500,000 from the tabloids for the photograph and that he deserved more money from them,” according to the affadavit.

    Kayalar was however foiled by the FBI after he was deported on a separate immigration violation three months ago. He contacted Crawford and Gerber again on November 1 and

    threatened to sell or release the photo to the media if the US$100,000 wasn’t met, the affidavit said.

    Kayalar said he “was not trying to destroy a little girl’s life, but the release of the photograph was not going to be something positive for the victims’ image.”

    Crawford’s spokeswoman stated: “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.”

  • Cindy Crawford says she’s too curvy to be today’s supermodel

    SPL133094_008

    Much-admired former US supermodel Cindy Crawford says she would not make it in today’s modelling world.

    But contrary to what might be expected as the reason, Crawford says she’s too curvy and robust-looking.

    “I would not have become a supermodel in 2009. I look too healthy,” Crawford told the German celebrity magazine Bunte.

    Crawford became the toast of the modelling world in the 1980s and 90s after a brief stint studying chemical engineering.

    She said that a “body like mine with big breasts, normal thighs and toned upper arms” was no longer sought in today’s modelling and fashion industry.

    Crawford is often credited with looking fabulous in her forties. At 43, she said she was happy with her physique but concerned about aging and wrinkles and bulges.

    “That’s why I like being in my 40s so much,” she said. “Being at peace with yourself, knowing about your strengths beyond being pretty.”

  • Canalis and Cindy Crawford keep the snappers guessing

    SPL97822_071<p>Fans who turned out for the Fantastic Mr Fox may have seen double in the line-up.
    </p>
    <p>Photos that surfaced from the glittering Picadilly event, meanwhile, had editors straining at their computer monitors. Was that Cindy Crawford? Or was that Elisabetta Canalis?
    </p>
    <p>The confusion is only made worse by the fact that Crawford has been spotted with Clooney’s new belle, Canalis, and the megastar on double dates both in Italy and at home in the US.
    </p>
    <p>Crawford (all right, that’s her in the picture) and Clooney are great friends who go way back. The two delectable women wore very similar dark dresses that featured this season’s sheer, shoulder-glimpsing look.
    </p>
    <p>Canalis, however, showed off discrete circular tattoos on both arms. Perhaps the ladies were playing a trick on the assembled throng.</p>
