Cindy Crawford was targeted for extortion, over a photo of her daughter which showed the daughter bound to a chair and gagged.
Documents were filed in federal court saying that Edis Kayalar, a friend of a former nanny of Crawford and husband Rande Gerber, was threatening to sell the photo of the couple's 7-year-old daughter.
Crawford's rep says the photo was taken as part of a game of cops and robbers, without Crawford's knowledge. The docs say the nanny took the photos as a "prank" and that Kayalar stole the picture from her.
We're told Crawford and Gerber went to the cops, who turned it over to the FBI.
According to legal docs, Gerber paid Kayalar $1,000 for what he thought was the original photo. But Gerber claims Kayalar came back a few days later, claiming he still had a copy and demanded more money.
And this is curious .... according to the documents, Kayalar was arrested by the L.A. County Sheriff's Department on September 16, 2009, placed in federal custody by ICE agents for an immigration violation. He was then deported to Germany.
But it didn't end there ... The Feds say on November 1, 2009, Kayalar called the Crawfords from Germany and said he "had no choice now but to extort the victims for money because they had gotten him deported." He demanded $100,000 or else he'd release the photo to the media.
BTW, someone tried peddling the photo to TMZ approximately 6 weeks ago. We passed.

Move over Cesar Milan, there is a new Dog Whisperer on the block -- and his name is David Hasselhoff.
We caught up with The Hoff and his daughter Hayley in Malibu yesterday -- and while we wanted to talk about David's recent troubles in London, he just wanted to talk ... through his dog.
Perfectly normal.

Cops say boxing legend Mike Tyson's 4-year-old daughter is in critical condition right now at an Arizona hospital, after a freak accident involving a treadmill cord almost took her life.
Paramedics were called to Tyson's Phoenix home at around 10:30 this morning when his 7-year-old son found the young girl hanging from a treadmill by its power cable, according to MyFoxPhoenix. Tyson was not home at the time.
The girl's mother took her off the cable and immediately started CPR.
Paramedics eventually arrived and took the girl to St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center, where cops say she remains on life support in "extremely critical condition." Tyson has since arrived to the hospital.
As of now, cops believe the incident was a "tragic accident."

Hugh Jackman's daughter Ava, perhaps growing tired of her father's Super Dad routine, floated just out of his reach yesterday in New York.
Hugh, of course, was able to save her from the evil clutches of zero gravity.

It's unclear exactly what happened at the Von's in Burbank yesterday, but Jason Priestley and his wife, Naomi, rushed their 1-year-old daughter Ava out of the grocery store and to nearby St. Joseph's Hospital.
We're told Ava has already been discharged, so it couldn't have been too serious.
Our vote -- Jason and Naomi are good parents.

Cops in India claim they have no evidence that the father of 9-year-old Rubina Ali -- one of the child stars from "Slumdog Millionaire" -- was trying to sell his daughter.
Rafiq Qureshi was accused of trying to sell Rubina for roughly $290,000 by a British newspaper that had set up an undercover operation to try and buy the young girl.
A senior police officer in India told Reuters, "So far there is no evidence of any offence, hence there is no registration of complaint and no arrest."

Being part of an Oscar winning movie can up your asking price in Hollywood. Apparently it can also up your asking price should your father decide to try and sell you.
Rubina Ali, the nine-year-old girl who was featured prominently in the Oscar winning "Slumdog Millionaire," was offered up for sale by her father to undercover reporters working for News of the World, the paper is reporting.
The young child star's asking price was roughly $295,000. According to the paper, the price started off much lower when he first began negotiating the deal. Maybe the father forgot to take DVD sales into account.
UPDATE -- Rubina's dad is flatly denying the whole thing, telling the BBC News it was just a "dirty" operation by News of the World.

While still more gorgeous than 99.9% of the Earth's population, a sad and hungry looking Halle Berry roamed the slums of Beverly Hills with daughter Nahla on Tuesday.
Unfortunately, it takes the rest of us a lot more than 30 cents a day to look as good as Halle.
No word if Madonna has plans to adopt her.

John McCain's "socially liberal" daughter Meghan rocked one single suspicious ponytail to the Viper Room in Hollywood this weekend -- a tail that happened to be styled to one particular side of her head ...
Subliminal cryptic message ... or simple bad fashion choice? The fate of the world depends on your decision.
