Okay, we put Vinny from ‘Jersey Shore’ in the title, so obviously, we’re using the term ‘genius’ fairly loosely.

But nevertheless, there are some celebs who are either geniuses or damn close to being geniuses. A high IQ, impeccable GPA, impressive college credentials…there are quite a few celebs who are incredibly smart, and some of them might surprise you. Actually, a lot of them might surprise you.

At any rate, here are ten celebs who are just as brainy as they are entertaining.
Mariah Carey is getting a little too Twitter-happy with posting photos of her pregnant belly. On Sunday night, Carey posted another pic of her painted up stomach—this time showing off a giant Easter egg.

These kids are seriously going to come out high from the paint fumes. And they need to come out soon, because the only eggs that are that big came from dinosaurs.

In addition to Carey, Miranda Kerr, Demi Moore, Cindy Crawford, and Britney Spears are among those celebrities who have been graced the cover of magazines nude and with child. Celebrities love posing naked when they’re pregnant. And I’m not saying it’s gross, but if I wanted to look at photos of something natural, I’d pick up a National Geographic.

You can run, but you can't hide! The man who allegedly tried to extort money from Cindy Crawford has turned himself in to authorities.

Edis Kayalar, who tried to extort $100,000 from Cindy Crawford in exchange for a photo of her then-7-year-old daughter tied to a chair in revealing clothing, has turned himself in to police in his native German.

Kalayar went to a Stuttgart police station on Monday and turned himself in. He was charged with one count of extortion.

"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 statement from the couple's representative said.

He faces up to two years in prison and will go before a judge later today. Stay tuned for more!
Cindy Crawford and her husband Rande Gerber are the latest celebrities to fall victim to an extortion plot.

The couple’s former nanny allegedly took a photo of their 7-year-old daughter Kaia bound and gagged to a chair and passed the photo onto to suspect Edis Kayalar.

Kayalar attempted to extort $100,000 from the couple and repeatedly threatened to sell or release the photograph to the media if they failed to pay.

In a statement, Cindy's spokeswoman Annett Wolf said: "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."

According to court documents, Kaia told her parents the photo was taken during a “cops and robbers” game with the nanny.

Needless to say, the couple wasn't too thrilled with the nanny. She's been deported back to Germany and if convicted of extortion, faces up to two years in prison.

How sick do you have to be to do that to a child?! We really hope this guy gets convicted and the judge throws the book at him--and the nanny too. How disturbing!
Project Runway has had some great guest judges this season— Eva Longoria Parker, Rebecca Romijn, Lindsay Lohan and Christina Aguilera. And their next guest makes the most sense to us!

According to People, former supermodel Cindy Crawford will be sitting in on the next episode of the show. What better person to judge runway looks than a former model?!

Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa will appear with Tim Gunn in a segment taped at the city’s Getty Museum on that episode as well, which will air on November 5th.

The episode will also reportedly feature a final challenge that will determine which of the five remaining designers — Carol Hannah, Althea, Irina, Gordana and Christopher — will move on to Fashion Week.

Oh oh! Cindy Crawford's husband is in big trouble!

Rande Gerber is being sued for sexual harassment by not just one but two former female employees. That should send him to the doghouse!

According to TMZ, the lawsuit was filed in March in San Diego County Superior Court. In the lawsuit, the two former waitresses claim that they were fired from their job because they did not give in to advances made by Gerber and other managers. Gerber who is a business mogul owns the restaurant the two waitresses worked at.

One of the girls alleges that on one occasion back in 2008 while she was working at the Moonstone Lounge located in the Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego, Gerber tried to make out with her three times during the night, then "put his hand up [her] dress in between her legs in an attempt to fondle her crotch."

Gerber's reps deny the claims stating: "These allegations were previously investigated and shown to be baseless," adding, "This lawsuit has no merit."

What is it with these men that are married to supermodels? They love to cheat! First Christie Brinkley and now Cindy Crawford! Maybe it's because they are so insecure that their women are so hot?! Any thoughts?

Is home furnishings where old supermodels retire? Kathy Ireland did it, and now Cindy Crawford is taking the same route. She’s teaming up with J.C. Penny to launch a line of home goods for the retail giant.

The collection will include bedding and bath items, wall décor, and rugs, and will be totally affordable, with price points starting at around $20, and going up to $170 for full bedding sets.

This is a little surprising timing-wise, since many big department store chains are facing low sales right now, especially in areas of luxury purchases, like bedding. But J.C. Penny president Ken Hicks says they’re trying to take advantage of the market as businesses like Linens N Things go under.

He says, "This will ensure that when the market turns, we will maintain our advantage as a leader in the home business.”

Nothing like adding a supermodel to your image to make your stuff look more desirable! Do you guys think Cindy is selling herself short by going with J.C. Penny or is she smart cause that's where the money is at?

Halloween is just days away and the stars are already gearing up with big celebrations. Kate Hudson threw a private party at her Brentwood home and things got so wild that the police were called.

At around 1 am, LAPD officers responded to complaints from neighbors that the noise levels were too high. A spy told Page Six that Kate "was dressed as a '60s flight attendant" and her young son, Ryder Robinson, "was nowhere in sight."

Other celebrities at the party in the holiday spirit were Courteney Cox as a witch, David Arquette as a warlock, Winona Ryder as a mouse, Rachel Zoe in a flapper costume, and Cindy Crawford morphed into Amy Winehouse. Sounds like one hell of a party!

Cindy Crawford was in Madison Wisconsin this weekend and rather than partying like the rest of the world, she was there to do some good.

Cindy made appearances at the University of Wisconsin Children's Hospital to raise awareness of pediatric cancer. Her younger brother died of leukemia in 1975, and Cindy has been actively contributing to the Pediatric Oncology program at the hospital for the last twenty years.

She's also the honorary chair of Kids with Courage, which had its fourth reunion of childhood cancer survivors Saturday in Madison. Good for Cindy for making a difference!

There have been recent rumors that supermodel turned trophy wife Cindy Crawford would be joining ABC morning show “The View” as another co-host.

Hollyscoop hit the Leatherheads movie premiere last night where we asked Cindy if there were any truth to these rumors to which she replied, “not true.”

Rumors began making their rounds when gossip columnist Liz Smith ran a bit in her column saying, “ABC is hot on Cindy Crawford. They want her as a regular on "Good Morning America" and "The View." She did a great job last week on ABC and nobody can believe this beauty has turned 42. Well, 40 is now the new... 25.”

Well folks, there you have it. Guess we wont be seeing Cindy strut her stuff on the set of “The View” anytime soon.
