A rep for the couple told ET in a 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."

'Twilight' Director: Kristen Stewart Realized She Had to 'Give This a Go' with Rob Pattinson

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 13:44:00 -0800

'Twilight' director Catherine Hardwicke, who cast both Kristen Stewart and Rob Pattinson in the roles that would make them famous, comments on what she knows about the pair's offscreen relationship.

Hardwicke tells Time magazine, "After I cast him, I told Rob, 'Don't even think about having a romance with her. She's under 18. You will be arrested." Kristen is now 19 and Rob is now 23.

But she implied to Time that the relationship between Kristen, now 19, and Rob, now 23, did progress over time: "I didn't have a camera in the hotel room. I cannot say," she told Time. "But in terms of what Kristen told me directly, it didn't happen on the first movie. Nothing crossed the line while on the first film. I think it took a long time for Kristen to realize, O.K., I've got to give this a go and really try to be with this person."

We don't have to keep going down this road of controversy and drama."

Spokesperson for Miss California USA Hopes Carrie Prejean Gets Psychological Help

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 13:40:00 -0800

The executive director of Miss California USA released a statement to ET saying that after Carrie Prejean's bizarre interview with Larry King on Wednesday night, he believes "the public is finally getting a glimpse of the real [former Miss California] who lives in her own delusional world."

The statement continues: "The childish behavior, her negative attitude, the sarcasm and condescending tone, the disrespect and continual lying she is demonstrating now is only a fraction of what we endured during her reign and after. Anyone who buys her book is supporting a woman who is actually the opposite of everything she claims to be. I sincerely hope she is able to get the psychological help I believe she has shown to clearly need."

"Larry King Live" had Prejean on the show via satellite to discuss her new book, but the former beauty queen found herself in a heated moment where she called King "inappropriate" multiple times when he asked her about why she settled with the Miss USA pageant. She then removed her microphone and told King he was being "extremely inappropriate" and that she was "about to leave" the show.
