She’s always been one for staying fit and healthy, and this morning Cindy Crawford was spotted out for a Saturday morning bike ride in Malibu, CA.
Joined by her husband, the gorgeous 43-year-old and their kids looked to be enjoying themselves as they rode along the beach.
It looks like the family is doing just fine in lieu of the recent extortion scheme involving a photograph of their 7-year-old daughter purportedly taken by the couple’s former nanny.
The nanny was fired and according to the family’s rep, “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.”

A German model was charged Thursday with trying to extort $100,000 from Cindy Crawford by using a “sexy” photo of the supermodel’s then-7-year-old daughter Kaia “in revealing clothing, bound to a chair and gagged.” The picture, reportedly stolen from the Crawford’s former nanny, was simply part of an innocuous “cops and robbers” game the nanny claims to have played with the children. Yeah, that’s normal. The NY Daily News says
[German model and the nanny's ex-boyfriend] Edis Kayalar [initially] told Crawford and Gerber [back in July] that he was broke and wanted a reward for returning the photo, portraying himself as a “good guy.”
Gerber met Kayalar and Kayalar handed the photo over. Gerber gave him $1,000 for his “trouble.”
But Kayalar contacted the couple two days later, allegedly claiming he still had a copy of the photo and threatening to sell it to a tabloid for $500,000.
Crawford and Gerber went to the cops, who picked up Kayalar. He was turned over to immigration officials, who booted him from the country in September because he was here illegally.
Well, all’s well that ends well, right? Um, not exactly…
The couple thought their nightmare was over until Nov. 1, when Kayalar e-mailed them from Germany with new threats of selling the photo to a tabloid if they did not pay him $100,000.
Kayalar allegedly gave Gerber a German bank account number and routing information, saying the money should be wired within three days or the photo would be made public.
As of Thursday night, Kayalar had not been arrested. Authorities were searching for him in Germany.
Well, if you don’t want sexy bondage pictures of your second-grader on the internet, DON’T LEAVE THEM WITH FUCKING STRANGERS WHILE YOU GO GALLIVANTING AROUND EUROPE!!!! Just like you don’t leave your kids on the railroad tracks while you run errands and you don’t give them a dry cleaning bag and a handgun to occupy them while you touch up your makeup. Jesus Christ. Am I taking crazy pills? It seems so common sense to me! And for the record, I’m pretty sure that “au pair” is actually French for “shitty parent.” Look it up.

This is one of the most bizarre blackmail/extortion plots I?ve ever heard of. I fully expect it to be part of a future Law & Order: SVU episode (because it involves a minor). Here are the basics: Cindy Crawford and her millionaire Gerber heir husband Rande Gerber were victims of a blackmail plot by one of their former nannies and one of the nanny?s ?acquaintances?. The blackmail involved a photo that the former nanny took of Kaia, the then seven-year-old daughter (who is now 8 years old) of Cindy and Rande, tied up on a chair during part of a ?game?. When the nanny and this random person tried to blackmail Cindy and Rande for $100,000, threatening to sell the photo. Which is really, really gross. Anyway, it seems like Cindy and Rande contacted the authorities straight away, and everything is now a criminal and legal matter. Here?s more, including a statement from Cindy and Rande?s rep, from Us Weekly:
Cindy Crawford and her husband Rande Gerber are the latest celebrities to be ensnared in an extortion drama involving a bizarre photo of their eight year-old daughter, Kaia.
TMZ reported that an odd 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 notes, as part of the nanny’s “cops and robbers game.” (The parents were unaware of this “game.”) Kayalar subsequently threatened to sell the photo, thus beginning a blackmailing plot.
A rep for the couple has released the following statement to Usmagazine.com:
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.

God, these people sound like deplorable, disgusting people, don?t they? Here?s another thing - I hope they aren?t just being charged with extortion and all of the money-and-blackmail

She’s the latest victim of an attempted extortion scheme, and Cindy Crawford is fighting back against her alleged blackmailer.
The former “House of Style” hottie and her husband Rande Gerber have been targeted by a friend of their former nanny who obtained a strange picture of their daughter Kaia when she was seven years old.
According to a report, Kaia was “bound to a chair and gagged” in the photo, which was explained as taken during the nanny’s cops and robbers game.
Crawford’s rep released a statement saying, “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.

Cindy Crawford is giving us one of those ?duh? moments. She?s out there promoting something, and during an interview she claimed that by today?s standards for models, she is simply too healthy to make it. Dur. Cindy goes on - talking about how she has ?big breasts? (not really), normal thighs (still look skinny to me, but whatever) and toned upper arms (she does have great arms). I get that Cindy is trying to maybe make us feel better when describing a simple truth about the current crop super-skinny models, but I feel like this is a ?thank you, Captain Obvious? moment. Is there anyone out there who doesn?t look with horror at the nearly pre-pubescent, shapeless girls that pass for ?supermodels? these days? I miss Cindy. I miss Linda Evangelista, too. I loved Linda.
US former supermodel Cindy Crawford says she would have little chance of making it big in the fashion business today with her curvy figure, a German celebrity magazine reported Tuesday.
“I would not have become a supermodel in 2009. I look too healthy,” Crawford told Bunte.
“A body like mine with big breasts, normal thighs and toned upper arms” is no longer what the industry is looking for, she said.
Crawford, 43, said she was happy with her physique but worried about the effects of ageing like wrinkles and bulges.
“That’s why I like being in my 40s so much — being at peace with yourself, knowing about your strengths beyond being pretty,” she said.
Crawford, known for her trademark beauty spot above her upper lip, briefly studied chemical engineering before becoming one of the world’s most popular cover girls in the 1980s and 1990s.

It seems like Cindy has been getting more press lately for whatever reason. Part of it is that she?s launched a home accessories line at J.C. Penney, and she?s been giving more interviews. A few months ago she even talked about her ?cellulite? in Redbook. Cindy has also been in the news because she?s been hanging out George Clooney and his girlfriend, who looks like a budget version of Cindy. I wonder if Cindy ever really thinks about that - that her husband?s best friend is a little bit obsessed with her, to the point where he seems to date women that look a lot like her.

Of the effort, Cindy tells, “Having lost my brother to leukemia, I am committed to the mission of helping to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, and to improve the quality of life of patients and their families.”

Cindy Crawford is the cover girl for September?s Redbook Magazine, and I couldn’t believe what Cindy?s promoting? her home accessories line at J.C. Penney! I had no idea Cindy sold linens and things. But some of this stuff looks nice? and she even decorated her own house with stuff she designed (Redbook has a photo spread of the collection in Cindy?s home). In the interview, Cindy comes across as mostly blah - I think she?s probably a very nice woman, but she?s never really fascinated me. She mostly talked about her kids, being married, her life as a wife and mother. Her life seems pretty charmed. Alas, she does not talk about how her husband Rande Gerber and George Clooney are BFFs. That is what I would love to know about - mainly because it seems like George has a little crush on his best friend?s wife. Just my opinion! The complete interview is here, but these are some of the highlights: 43-year-old Cindy has cellulite, she doesn?t really care about the paparazzi taking bad pictures of her, her daughter doesn?t think modeling involves skill and Cindy?s cooking:
Cindy on body image: “I have cellulite,” she says, laughing. “I admit it. But sometimes I just say, ‘Screw it, I am going to wear a bikini.’”
Partnering with J.C. Penney to create Cindy Crawford Style: “It’s my take on home fashion. The whole concept is to help women discover their own livable, comfortable style by offering versatile pieces that are updated classics. And it incorporates what Penney’s does so well, which is quality and value. I love the idea of home as your sanctuary, as the place that tells a story about you ? and how individual that is for every person.”
First big design purchase: ?When I moved into my first apartment in Chicago, I went to a store where you could pick the shape and the fabric of the sofa. I was so excited; it even had a pullout bed for guests. But when they delivered the couch, it didn’t fit around the corner in the entry, so I had to get an upholsterer to cut off one of the arms. It didn’t look totally weird, but it was good reminder that you have to measure everything. Still, I ended up moving that sofa to New York with me to two more apartments and had it recovered. It was a good couch.?
Cooking: ?I am not a fine chef, but I can certainly get dinner on the table for 14 people. With that many, I try to keep it simple: salmon, mashed potatoes, sauted spinach, and salad. For sure, I do the desserts. I make a coconut cake, which is actually easy, and a carrot cake, which my husband loves so much we had it for our wedding cake. If I want to get on his good side, I make that cake. The hard part is that I use white chocolate in the frosting and you have to melt it and introduce the other two ingredients, sour cream and cream cheese. The timing is crucial; otherwise the white chocolate can start coagulating and you get chunky frosting ? which, by the way, still tastes good. Last night, Presley and I had a pie contest. He made strawberry rhubarb ? I gave him my recipe, but I didn’t touch his pie ? and I tried a new one: peach blueberry. And I said, “We won’t tell who made what, and we’ll have a vote.” And his pie won. I was outbaked by my 10-year-old!?
On the difference between everyday beauty and camera-ready beauty: ?I always say even I don’t wake up looking like Cindy Crawford! What people see on magazine covers is one moment that was perfect ? the wind, the light, the hair, the makeup. That’s a two-hour process. People get excited that they’re meeting the Cindy Crawford from the Playboy spread 13 years ago, and I am a mother of two now. I have to check in with myself. It’s good to have an awareness of that outside pressure; I can’t let it get to my core. I love my life.?
Cindy on date nights: ?We do have date nights. It sounds a little cheesy, but that’s what it is ? time for the two of us. We recently went to see The Hangover. My husband just lost his father so he really needed that kind of movie. It was an escape. The kids go to bed at 9, and we also have that hour and a half at night before I go to bed, although in the summer the kids want to stay up later. I remember being a kid in summer and having the whole summer ahead of you. I want them to be able to stay in their pajamas all day if they want. That’s what summer is for. But we’re still figuring out bedtime, because I want that time alone with my husband.?
On her kids? dream jobs: ?I hope they are kind and respectful and can function in this world and still be individuals, not necessarily leaders but not followers. I hope they can incorporate what they’re passionate about into whatever their job is. Presley has an adult friend who is a Navy SEAL, and right now he wants to be that. My daughter says she wants to be a singer and a dancer, but ? and the way she said this was so cute ? she might model first because you don’t have to have any special skills. And then she wants to end up being a teacher. That’s an interesting career path; we’ll see how that works out for her.?

Hmm? I wonder if Cindy even gets along with George Clooney, or if she views him as her husband?s creepy friend. You know George probably ogles her. But other than my lingering questions about Clooney, it seems like Cindy and Rande has a really strong relationship and family. Rande?s probably just thrilled he wakes up beside Cindy Crawford every morning.
