Cindy Crawford had a rough year in 2009. The supermodel was allegedly targeted for extortion over a photo of her 8-year-old daughter, Kaia, bound to a chair and gagged. But now Cindy, who spoke exclusively to Life & Style at the JC Penney Cindy Crawford Style Home Collection event in NYC on March 2nd, is happy to report that she's put that ordeal behind her.

"It's over," she said. "In my head, it's over." Of course, throughout it all, Cindy, 44, has been able to lean on her handsome husband of 11 years, Rande Gerber.

On how she and Rande keep the passion alive:

Rande and I were friends first; I think that's the constant. The other stuff goes in and out. We're really busy and always running around, but we respect each other, and we're friends first, so that goes a long way.

On whether they plan to have more kids:

The ticking of the clock has stopped, I think!

On if she'd consider adopting:

At this point, our life is very full. But I wouldn't rule it out.

On encouraging her kids to act or model:

I wouldn't want them to, but I wouldn't discourage them. They'll have to find what excites them. My daughter loves drama, so possibly. She's a drama queen!

When Brad Pitt was spotted in Paris on Feb. 23, it looked like he and Angelina Jolie had adopted a new child -- an adorable blond boy. Instead, it was the couple's 3-year-old daughter, Shiloh, sporting boys' clothes and a new haircut so shockingly short it immediately ignited a firestorm of controversy.

"It's a drastic change," says an eyewitness. "The last time we'd seen her, her hair was longer and blonder, and she was more girlie. We were surprised Angelina dressed her so much like a little boy."

Reaction on the Internet was far harsher and even some seen-it-all celebrity stylists were stunned by the transformation. "Shiloh is pushing the boundaries of a tomboy look and crossing over to cross-dresser territory," Alana Kelen, senior fashion stylist at VH1, tells Life & Style. "Shiloh is looking more and more like her daddy these days," agrees celebrity stylist Gili Rashal-Niv.

Their babies were reality show stars before they were even born, and now new moms Kourtney Kardashian and Kendra Wilkinson are sharing their baby diaries in the new issue of Life & Style.

Kourtney: My Baby Diary

The new mom opens up about how her son, Mason Dash Disick, has changed her life forever

Last January, Kourtney was a staple on the social scene, hobnobbing with fellow celebs everywhere from the Sundance Film Festival to Super Bowl parties. This year, there's only one guy she's spending face time with: Mason Dash, the son she and her boyfriend, Scott Disick, welcomed on Dec. 14.

"I'm just loving all the time with him," Kourtney, 30, tells Life & Style in a new exclusive interview. "I really don't miss my old life. I can't imagine life without Mason now."

Kourtney wasn't always sure she'd be this content with motherhood. "She was definitely scared before she had Mason, asking, 'Am I going to be a great mother? Am I going to love this baby as much as I should?'" Scott, 26, tells Life & Style. "And that all went out the door."

Reality star Tori Spelling got an early Christmas present this year: Her bitter feud with mom Candy finally ended.

"Everyone asked, 'What do you want for Christmas?' and I said, 'Nothing, I got it. My family is together,'" Tori, 36, tells Life & Style. "Just watching my mother and my brother, Randy, and my whole family together, it's like, 'Wow!'"

Life & Style Weekly: What's it like to see your mother interacting with your kids?
Tori Spelling: It's great, especially around the holidays. Nothing beats family. It's irreplaceable.

L&S: Speaking of family, are you and hubby Dean McDermott planning to give 2-year-old Liam and 19-month-old Stella a little brother or sister?
TS: We definitely want a big family, but there's still a lot of poop going around our house right now. We'll wait until there's a little less maintenance!

L&S: After having two kids, how do you stay in such great shape?
TS: In all honesty, I don't follow a diet. And I don't exercise. I'm a super-busy mom. I'm constantly on the go. I'm lifting a 28-pound child, a 21-pound child. We're always running and doing stuff. I try to set a healthy standard for the kids too -- I make sure to incorporate protein and vegetables into their meals.

L&S: Would you say 2009 was a good year?
TS: It's been amazing. It's been emotional, and it's been trying, and 2010 is going to be even better. A lot of our prayers have been answered. So 2010 is going to be a true blessing for our family.

Looks like Kourtney Kardashian already has some mother's intuition! Just two days before giving birth to son Mason Dash Disick on Dec. 14, Kourtney attended her pal Jillian Barberie Reynolds' baby shower. There, she told Life & Style, "I'm really excited but just really ready. I feel ready."

And ready she was. With her longtime boyfriend, Scott Disick, by her side, Kourtney, 30, gave birth to their 7-pound, 6-ounce son after going into labor the night before. "Baby Mason is just so beautiful," new mom Kourtney gushed to Life & Style later that day. "Scott and I are so happy!"

Though Mason patiently waited until after the season four premiere of the family's E! show, Keeping Up With the Kardashians -- which pulled the network's highest ratings ever -- he still arrived ahead of Kourtney's Dec. 23 due date. But it wasn't exactly a shock. "The doctor even said she'll probably be like two weeks early because she's so petite and she's so big already," Kourt's sister Khloé had told Life & Style.

Being four months pregnant hasn't slowed down Bethenny Frankel one bit. She's shooting The Real Housewives of New York City, will set out on tour to promote her new book, The Skinnygirl Dish, and just finished filming her first exercise DVD. But last week, Frankel took time out on the NYC set of her Skinnygirl workout video to exclusively show off her baby bump to Life & Style and chat about the pregnancy!

L&S: Congratulations! Are you super excited?
Bethenny: I'm really excited. I'm starting to show a little bit. I don't fit in my pants - it's very liberating. Now I believe that I'm pregnant.

L&S: Have you gained a lot of weight?
Bethenny: Five or 6 pounds, but they're right in my stomach. A lot of people think being pregnant is one giant binge, but you should check yourself before you wreck yourself. I'm not changing the way I eat. If I eat chocolate cake at lunch, I try not to have it after dinner. By no means is it dieting, but I'm trying to maintain some sort of balance because I'll have to deal with it later. I'm actually thinking of writing a pregnancy book. There's no reason to gain 75 pounds.

Her Scrubs alter ego is a mother, but 42-year-old Judy Reyes is expecting her first child in early December.

"Just two weeks ago, I started getting into the physically uncomfortable and emotional oh my- gosh-she's-coming place," Reyes told Life & Style Weekly during her baby shower at Santa Monica's Casa Del Mar hotel on Nov. 1. "I live in the Hollywood Hills, and I pass the Wonderland Avenue School with all the moms and dads bringing their little girls to school in their little outfits. That's going to be me!"

Indeed, it's a girl for the actress and boyfriend George Valencia, and they couldn't be happier. "I wouldn't know what to do with a boy," Reyes said. "Dressing her is going to be a lot of fun!"

Top fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld sparked outrage when he bashed fat mothers - and now celebrity moms -- Emme Jacob, Sharon Osbourne, Nicole Sullivan and Sarah Shahi -- are fighting back!

Fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld has never been known for his tact. But he completely crossed the line when he recently moved from bashing healthy models, like Heidi Klum, to insulting real, everyday women - especially mothers.

"No one wants to see curvy women," said Lagerfeld in response to German magazine Brigitte's decision to use real women instead of models in its pages starting with the Jan. 2 issue. "These are fat mummies sitting with their bags of crisps in front of the television, saying that thin models are ugly." This is about "dreams and illusions, and no one wants to see round women," he said in an interview with Focus magazine.

Of course, as the creative director of Chanel, Lagerfeld, 71, is responsible for perpetuating the size 0 model stereotype in his Paris fashion shows. "Runway models are thinner than ever, and that's because it's what's in demand by the designers," Harold Mindel, director of NYC's Click Model Management, told Life & Style. Ideally, runway models are 5-foot-10 or 5-foot-11 and wear size 0 to 2, a nearly impossible standard. "Designers, fashion photographers and casting agents have always wanted a thin body to show the silhouette of clothes," said Mindel.
