Oscar-winning actor JEREMY IRONS has no regrets about his flop films, because they earned him so much money.
The English star - who was slated for his part in 2000 movie Dungeons and Dragons - doesn’t mind starring in a critical and box office failure, as long as he gets a hefty pay packet.

LIV TYLER could only forgive her rocker father STEVEN TYLER for missing out on her childhood when she became a mother herself.
The Lord of the Rings actress thought her father was musician Todd Rundgren until she met Tyler at the age of eight.
She recalls, "I can remember meeting him when I was eight and thinking, "Wow, his hands look like my hands and we pick our cuticles in the same way and we walk in the same way." Tyler reveals she only began to understand her parents relationship after becoming a mother for the first time, to son Milo with husband Royston Langdon in 2004.
She says, "I have made a lot of judgments throughout my life towards my parents and how they did things and why, and now that I am an adult and a parent I understand a little more. I know that we all make strange decisions at times in our lives and do things that people don’t understand. But if they are true for you that’s OK, and I don’t want to be a judgemental person."

LATEST: Celebrity chef GORDON RAMSAY has been urged to spare the lives of lambs living on DAVID and VICTORIA BECKHAM’s English country estate by People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals (PETA).
The Beckhams gave Ramsay permission to let his lambs graze on the land at their home in Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire after he claimed his own London garden was too small.
However, Ramsay failed to notify the couple the lambs weren’t family pets, but future meals at his London eateries.
A spokeswoman for former Spice Girl Victoria, adds, "She was more than happy to let the sheep roam around her grounds, but as a devout vegetarian, she will be distraught to learn that they’re going to be killed." And PETA hopes his close friend’s distaste over the incident will give him second thoughts, and begin to branch out on vegetarian alternatives.
PETA Europe director Poorva Joshipura says, "People are rallying to spare the lambs Posh grew to love. With soy ‘lamb’ kebabs and marinated mock meats, everyone wins, including the animals."

Gay actor NEIL PATRICK HARRIS decided to come clean about his sexuality last year (06) because he feared he would be ‘outed’ by a witch hunt.
The Doogie Howser, MD actor sensed members of the media were preparing to out him, and was determined to let his fans know the truth from him first.
The 33-year-old actor tells talk show host Ellen DeGeneres, "There was a little of media scrutiny heading my way. People were starting to ask for stories of other people that may have fooled around with me, and the last thing you want to do is talk about your private life based on scandal.
"I’m not a very scandalous person and so I didn’t want to have to respond to some story, whether it was lie or truth - so I just made a statement and sort squashed the fires." And since his announcement, Harris has been delighted with the public response, revealing, "For me that is the greatest ending to the story so far that nothing really has changed at all.
"I’m doing nothing different and people aren’t behaving differently towards me. … People heard and they’re like ‘Yeah, and?’ That attitude, I think, was great."
