Millionair's Loan

Before going to Europe on business, a man drove his Rolls-Royce to a downtown New York City bank and went in to ask for an immediate loan of $5,000.

The loan officer, taken aback, requested collateral and so the man said, "Well then, here are the keys to my Rolls-Royce."

The loan officer promptly had the car driven into the bank's underground parking for safe keeping, and gave him $5,000.

Two weeks later, the man walked through the bank's doors, and asked to settle up his loan and get his car back. "That will be $5,000 in principal, and $15.40 in interest", the loan officer said. The man wrote out a check and started to walk away.

"Wait sir", the loan officer said, "while you were gone, I found out you are a millionaire. Why in the world would you need to borrow $5,000?"

The man smiled. "Where else could I park my Rolls-Royce in Manhattan for two weeks and pay only $15.40?

Tommy Lee Jones: Paramount Screwed Me Out Of $$ On 'No Country For Old Men'

As the pic's slogan said, "There are no clean getaways". So actors get screwed out of dough not only happens all the time on indies but now even on faux indies that win Best Picture Oscars. Tommy Lee Jones is suing for $10 million which he claims is what he's still owed for No Country For Old Men. News reports say the lawsuit against Paramount Pictures and N.M. Classics was filed Thursday in Bexar County District Court in San Antonio, Texas. And it's a revealing look behind-the-scenes at Paramount accounting...

According to the San Antonio Express-News, Jones in the lawsuit claims he signed a contract with N.M. Classics on April 3, 2006, for a reduced upfront fee in exchange for backend and bonuses if the film did well financially. It wound up winning the Oscar and making $160M worldwide. As part of his contract negotiations, Jones insisted on favored nations with producer Scott Rudin and writers/directors/producers Joel and Ethan Coen regarding all contract terms, including the percentage of box office bonuses he would receive. But Jones argues that in December 2007 -- a month after the film's nationwide release -- Paramount told him that the contract contained a "mistake" regarding the deduction for home video expenses. Jones claims the studio revealed it was aware of the supposed error before he signed the contract. On January 10, Paramount contended there was a second "mistake" made, this time in the formula to determine box-office bonuses. He says he was fraudulently made to render his services under a contract the company knew contained mistakes, though they didn't inform him of them until after the movie had been made, by which time it was too late.

Jones wants an outside auditor to determine how much he is actually owed.

Golden Globe-nominated actress Scarlett Johansson has starred in Match Point, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, and Snoop, each directed by Woody Allen, and movie set spies say Woody is wild about Scarlett’s signature key lime pies.

According to Star Magazine:

“Scarlett makes them from scratch. Woody doesn’t eat much, but he loves her pies. He’s always after her to bring him another one.”

The Inseider adds, “As long as he is giving her great roles, I’m sure she has no problem doing it.”
