NO wonder pop star Ricki-Lee Coulter looks so happy at the moment – shes literally posing all the way to the bank.
Keen to show off her trim figure after losing 25kg, the former plus-size star has done a lucrative deal with OK! magazine.
Just for flashing herself in a bikini on a Thai island, the beautiful brunette is rumoured to have netted herself a whopping $50,000.

The organizer of an Ottawa music festival where the stage collapsed during a sudden storm, scurrying thousands of fans who were watching the band Cheap Trick, called the accident “a freak situation” at a press conference Monday.
Organizers had been monitoring the weather moments before a violent summer gale toppled the main stage at the Cisco Ottawa Bluesfest on Sunday night, said Mark Monahann, the festival’s executive director.

When Harry met Sarah … well, let’s just say he roared, while she whispered. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, the climax to the eight-film franchise from the J.K. Rowling saga, grossed a wizardly $168.55 million, according to early studio reports, to win the box office weekend and quite a few other records besides. Meanwhile, the Sarah Palin documentary The Undefeated, playing on about a dozen screens (compared with DH2‘s 11,000) in such conservative bastions as Grapevine, Texas; and Orange County, California, amassed perhaps $75,000 though it’s hard to tell because the film’s distributor hasn’t released actual or estimated totals.
