UK lottery winner scoops £84m

A Briton has scooped £85million in the EuroMillions draw – the biggest jackpot in UK history. The incredible prize had not been claimed last night and there was no indication whether the winner had even checked his or her ticket. The unnamed winner, who has yet to come forward, trumps the previous UK record holder by almost £30m. Computer searches will today be used to determine where the lucky ticket was sold. The colossal 100,037,101 euros win is the third largest in EuroMillions’ six-year history. A spokesman for Camelot, which operates the lottery in Britain, said: “This is absolutely fantastic news — and the biggest-ever lottery win in the UK. “Subject to a claim being received and validated, the prize could be paid out when the banks open on Monday. “The winner can then decide whether or not to go public and share their news.” The British winner was the only player to use the numbers 1, 17, 31, 43 and 47 plus the Lucky Star numbers 02 and 03. And if it is a single winner, and not a syndicate, the lucky Brit would soar to 760th place in The Sunday Times Rich List. But the public may not ever know who the winner is because Camelot gives players the choice whether or not to go public on their windfall. Nine countries play EuroMillions – the UK, France, Spain, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg, Ireland, Portugal and Switzerland.

Rihanna Takes Drum Lessons From Travis Barker Before Tour

‘She jams! Watch out for her,’ Barker tweets. By James Montgomery Rihanna and Travis Barker Photo: Travis Barker Rihanna ‘s European tour doesn’t kick off until next month (with a full U.S. jaunt scheduled for the summer), but from the looks of things it’s already shaping up to be a can’t-miss show. That’s because, in addition to the usual ephemera — Lights! Props! Costumes! — Rih Rih is also expanding her repertoire for the tour by learning how to play the drums. And she’s taking lessons from one of the best in the business: noted metronome/masher Travis Barker . Late Tuesday (March 23), Barker’s reps sent MTV News a photo of the dynamic duo after a recent practice at the Hollywood Center Studios and the Blink-182 smasher included a note that promised that not only will Rihanna be playing live onstage (no click track here), but that “she’s really good.” He later posted even more about the rehearsals on his Twitter account , writing, “She Jams! Watch out for her!” We’re inclined to believe him because at this point, Barker has collaborated with practically everyone under the sun, including his current gig with DJ A-Trak , which he unveiled earlier this month with a string of shows at the Roxy Theatre in Hollywood. Rihanna’s European tour gets underway April 16 in Antwerp, Belgium, and runs until early June. She’s also set to perform at the upcoming Kids’ Choice Awards, along with the likes of Justin Bieber.There are no firm dates for her U.S. tour, but it is reportedly set to kick off this summer.

By Jocelyn Vena Lady Gaga Photo: Florian Seefried/ Getty Images Lady Gaga loves her overseas little monsters so much, she decided to add more dates to the European jaunt of her Monster Ball Tour . The tour was scheduled to wrap March 8 in the UK before picking up in Australia for a number of dates. But Gaga will head back to Europe in May for 10 new dates, as well as two rescheduled dates. It was also announced that Gaga will embark on her first major arena tour when she returns to North America this June, hitting 30 cities. More info is coming soon. Gaga will be on the road with glam-rock band Semi Precious Weapons, who recently spoke to MTV News about what it’s like to the opening act for the woman who was once their opening act at club gigs in New York. “When we met her, we were doing shows here bringing, like, 300 people or so, and we were looking for bands to open for us,” bassist Cole Whittle recalled. “They were all boring, but she was fun and partied, and her and [Gaga’s performing partner] Lady Starlight had a really cool show. We were like, ‘I’d much rather see this than some hipster band.’ ” So they opted to do the future pop star a favor and have her join them for their shows. Despite the fact that she was playing to very small crowds, she was beyond thankful for the spot. “She was big fans of ours before we met her. She was so grateful to be playing with us, ’cause she loved us so much,” singer Justin Tranter said. “She was like, ‘I’ve never seen so many people! Thank you so much for letting me open.’ It’s obviously a little different now. Them tables have turned! [Back then,] it was still the most awesome thing we’d ever seen. It’s still the most awesome show we ever saw. She’s always been the coolest girl!” New European dates for Monster Ball Tour:

Marc Jacobs Husband Confirms Marriage, Penis Size

We got a hold of the BUTT Magazine’s upcoming interview with Jacob’s adorable husbear Lorenzo Martone and he says they were married in St. Barts over New Years even though they previously denied it . Also, Lorenzo says he’s hung! All-gay BUTT [ NSFW , unless you work in a gay designer’s studio] is known for their sexually explicit interviews with fabulous homosexuals and Martone’s—done by T Magazine’s Horacio Silva—is no different. Aside from Brazil born PR man Martone talking about his first time doing the dirty with a man while backpacking in Belgium, the real revelation is that Jacobs and his groom really were married when everyone thought they were. Now that we’ve heard it from Martone, we guess that their wedding cake really was a wedding cake and not some joke at a party like Jacobs rep tried to pass it off as. From the interview, the pair sounds very much in love, but what drives Martone crazy? Getting ignored backstage and Jacobs’ signature skirts. “He knows I don’t love it,” Martone says of his husbands sartorial choices. “I mean I loved it for a couple of months. I thought, ‘Okay, it was a cute joke. Get over it.’ Be he is in love with them. What can I say? He feels he has found his look and clearly he enjoys the attention that he gets.” As for dick size info, Martone makes a crack about Brazilian tools and Silva replies, “You mean the implication that all Brazilians are hung like Nazis at Nuremberg?” and Martone answers, “I can’t complain. My boyfriend can’t complain.”
