All tag results for 'millions'

We're shocked to see how humble E.L. James is in real life!

Despite the eroticism of her book Fifty Shades Of Grey, the millions of readers, and movie deal (how will they get that one down to PG-13??) — she is a very quiet and charming woman who calls the book her "midlife crisis."

She even admits that she's not a very good writer!

Must be doin' something right, gurl!

It's a fascinating interview into the mind of an over-night success, so check it out (above)!

With tax day quickly creeping up on Tuesday, you may be scrambling to still file those taxes!

But don’t worry — you’re not alone. In fact, you’re actually in pretty good company if you owe the government some money…and we bet your amount is not as much as this!

Looks like the Dancing On The Ceiling extraordinaire, Lionel Richie, owes the IRS $1.1 MILLION in unpaid income tax…from two years ago!!!

Better fire that accountant, LOLz!

While this amount is probably just pocket change to Richie, if he ends up not paying soon, the government can start taking from him!

Whomp Whomp!!!

After a nasty mess over Joe Francis' gambling debts and his threats to expose Steve Wynn's "high-end deception," Joe has lost the defamation lawsuit filed by the Vegas mogul.

Joe was sued after he promised to reveal the ways Steve deceived all of his high rollers. But Joe had also sued Steve for "ruining his reputation" over the gambling debt "exaggerations."

So even though the Girls Gone Wild kind just lost 7.5 million in this lawsuit, his lawyer says that's nothing compared to what Steve's about to lose:

Rough! Honey, he's moved on … so maybe it's time for you to too!

On Howard Stern's radio show yesterday, Courteney Cox called in to promote the return of Cougar Town and got suckered in to talking about her relationship with ex, David Arquette. By the tone of her voice, we know she is terribly sick of answering questions about their divorce and how she is holding up since the break-up, but things got intensely awkward with Howard called Court out on her sex life. Or lack there of, as the case maybe.

Check out the video (above) to listen to their uncomfy conversation about Courteney NOT dating her co-stars and NOT getting laid since she was married to David.

Yes, because that is the kind of information you want broadcasted over the airwaves to millions of people. Poor thing. Embarrassing!

70 households in an isolated farming village in Spain were having a tough time with an economic downturn and a huge drought.

Things were bad.

So Spain has this huge Christmas lottery, right, called El Gordo. It's a big thing. People in the town weren't even going to try it, but reluctantly did. They bought tickets because of the homemakers' association which makes some money on the sales. It helps, right? Actually, yes — in more ways than one!

The number hit — and all but one of the houses got a claim in the $950 million prize!

It happens to be the biggest prize they've ever given, too!

A lot of the residents won millions, and even the lowest takers walked away with
