J.K. Rowling, the former welfare mom turned author, has been named the best paid author in the world by Forbes magazine.
According to the business pub, Rowling saw about 300 million hit the bank in the last year, or about 5 million a week.
(rather makes her lawsuit and comments over the planned Lexicon book…”“decimating” her livelihood seem less than true doesn’t it).
The Harry Potter franchise has generated about 4.5 billion at the box office and there are still three more in the world.

According to Gordon Ramsay, Victoria Beckham owes her size nothing and a half figure to the fact that she eats nothing but steamed foods every day.

The TV chef told the Press Association that “Beckham’s diet would guarantee weight loss”.

“She does eat, but everything’s steamed,” he is reported to have said. “If you went forward for just a week of potatoes and veg and carrots and leeks and fish and everything was steamed, it wouldn’t be the most amazing food you’ve ever tasted but I can guarantee you’d lose weight.”

Ramsay also reiterated that he plans to open a restaurant with her, and joked that he’d love to see the former Spice Girl working in the kitchen for a day.

“We spoke about it last month in LA when we went for dinner in Napa Valley,” he revealed. “I was laughing and said, ‘Look, I’ll open it provided you spend a day in the kitchen, Victoria’. Can you imagine? No-one would get f***ing fed!

” I’ll keep you posted. It’ll be something British in LA or New York - it depends.”

Frankly, if it features her diet, I think we’ll pass.
