“There are talks about a 3D concert and DVD in the near future,” the Daily Star quoted the rep as saying.

A German man found guilty of attempting to blackmail supermodel Cindy Crawford has been sentenced to two years in prison.

Edis Kayalar, 26, surrendered to German authorities in November after he was charged in Los Angeles with trying to extort 62,500 pounds from Crawford and her husband Rande Gerber over a controversial photo of their daughter.

The picture showed the girl, who was seven years old at the time, tied to a chair and wearing revealing clothing during a game of ”cops and robbers”, reports the Daily Star.

Gerber is said to have paid Kayalar, an acquaintance of the family’’s former nanny, 625 pounds to prevent him from selling the photo to the media.

However, he had to turn to officials at America’’s Federal Bureau of Investigation when the crook made further demands for cash.

According to German website Thelocal.de, he was convicted of attempted blackmail at a court in the town of Kirchheim unter Teck, in southern Germany and handed a two-year prison sentence.

Judge Joachim Spieth told the court: “The attempt at blackmail was well-advanced until it failed.”

In an interview with Jay Leno, the music mogul said that he is “kind of torn”, telling him he finally put a ring on it.

“Are they true? Well, I do have somebody in my life now, Jay, yes. And I kinda made a decision this year to make somebody happy,” the New York Daily News quoted Cowell as saying.

He said that he”d like to get married within the next ten years and, with regard to having kids with Hussainy, he is “kind of torn.”

“I”m a bit too old to have kids, but then again I think it would be important to have a lot of me’’s around in the future,” he said.

Lindsay Lohan has dragged financial company E-Trade to court in a 100 million dollar suit claiming that a boyfriend-stealing, “milkaholic” baby – also named Lindsay – in its latest advert is modelled after her.

The Mean Girls star has filed the lawsuit in Nassau County Supreme Court over the commercial that went on air during the Super Bowl this year.

The advert, a part of a series featuring toddlers who play the stock market, shows a boy apologizing to his girlfriend on video chat for not having called her the night before.

“And that milkaholic Lindsay wasn”t over?” the baby girl asks the boy.

“Lindsay?” the boy replies just when a baby girl sticks her head into the frame and says, “Milk-a-what?”

Lohan’’s lawyer, Stephanie Ovadia, said the actress’s name was as recognisable as Oprah or Madonna.

“Many celebrities are known by one name only, and E-Trade is using that knowledge to profit,” New York Post quoted Ovadia, as saying.

She added: “They used the name Lindsay.

“They”re using her name as a parody of her life. Why didn”t they use the name Susan? This is a subliminal message. Everybody’’s talking about it and saying it’’s Lindsay Lohan.”

Ovadia is not only trying to get the advert banned but also wants every last copy of the commercial.

According to Ovadia, E-Trade has breached Lohan’’s rights under New York state civil-rights law and used her “name and characterization” in business without her permission or paying for it.

She said the firm made huge profits since the commercial was seen by tens of thousands of people watching the Super Bowl and Winter Olympics finals.

Ovadia said the company owed Lohan 50 million dollars in exemplary damages, with an additional 50 million dollars in compensatory damages.

Cameron Diaz is “thrilled” to be starring alongside ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake in new movie, because she enjoys the singer’s on-set antics.

In ‘Bad Teacher’, the ‘Charlie’’s Angels’ actress stars as a junior high school teacher who sets out to steal a colleague’’s boyfriend, played by Timberlake, in the comedy.

Diaz and Timberlake dated for almost four years, before splitting in 2007, and since then the singer has found love with actress Jessica Biel.

But ‘The Holiday’ star is excited to have Justin play her love interest in the film, which also stars Molly Shannon and Jason Segel.

“We”re thrilled to have him. He’’s the best person for the job. He’’s going to be hilarious. He’’s clearly a very talented comedian, look at his Saturday Night Live (skits). He’’s fantastic, he’’s going to be so great,” the Daily Star quoted her as telling Access Hollywood’’s Billy Bush.

“We just had our first day of shooting yesterday with Jason. And we just laughed all day. It’’s so wonderful, I”m so excited,” she added.

Gisele Bundchen and her husband Tom Brady have chucked the plan to sell their Boston, Massachusetts home after they reportedly failed to attract a buyer.

The couple placed the penthouse on the market in October (09) for 7.3 million pounds.

It was just two months before the supermodel gave birth to the couple’’s son, Benjamin, in the bathtub there in December (09).

But now, they have given up trying to sell the property, according to the Boston Herald.

“They are trying to get 2,000-dollar a square foot. The most they can realistically get is 1,300 or 1,400 dollars. They are trying to get a premium because it’’s their house,” the Daily Star quoted a source as telling the newspaper.
