NEWS OF THE WEEK: Seth Rogen felt 'a lot of pressure' sitting front row at Adele's televised concert
During a recent appearance on The Howard Stern Show, the Superbad actor recalled attending Adele's One Night Only concert in Los Angeles, with his wife Lauren Miller in late 2021. He admitted he received "shockingly little information" about the show when he was offered the tickets, and so he and Lauren got "incredibly high" in their car beforehand, thinking it would be a regular concert. However, when they arrived at the venue, they were presented with front-row tickets and saw the TV cameras and realised they would be "front and centre" for "a big filmed event.'

Biggest lottery win in UK history up for grabs in £208m EuroMillions draw
A UK ticket-holder could win the biggest lottery prize the country has ever seen tonight if they match the numbers in Friday's EuroMillions draw. The jackpot has rolled over again to an estimated £208 million after Tuesday's £199 million draw, which would also have been a record-breaking amount, had no winners. The jackpot on Friday would be the largest prize the UK has seen, National Lottery operator Allwyn said. Andy Carter, senior winners' adviser at Allwyn, said: 'We are now on the verge of potentially creating the biggest National Lottery winner this country has ever seen – making a single UK winner instantly richer than the likes of Adele and Dua Lipa while also landing them at the number one spot on The National Lottery's biggest wins list.' Here are the 10 biggest UK lottery wins to date – all from EuroMillions draws – and what some of the winners did with their fortunes.

The single-ticket holder, who chose to remain anonymous, came forward to claim the EuroMillions jackpot after the draw on November 26 2024. The winner became immediately wealthier than popstar Dua Lipa, who is worth an estimated £104 million, and Michael Buble, worth around £63 million. Anonymous, £171,815,297.80 A UK ticket-holder scooped £171,815,297.80 in the September 23 2022 draw – at the time the country's third biggest National Lottery win.

Colin and Chris Weir, £161,653,000 Colin and Chris Weir, from Largs, North Ayrshire, bagged their historic winnings on July 12 2011, making them the biggest UK winners at the time. Colin used £2.5 million of his fortune to invest in his beloved Partick Thistle Football Club, which led to one of the stands at the stadium being named after him. He later acquired a 55% shareholding in the club, which was to be passed into the hands of the local community upon his death. He died in December 2019, aged 71. The couple also set up the Weir Charitable Trust in 2013 and donated £1 million to the Scottish independence referendum in 2014. They divorced in the same year of Colin's death. Adrian and Gillian Bayford, £148,656,000 Adrian and Gillian won 190 million euros in a EuroMillions draw on August 10, 2012, which came to just over £148 million.

Stephen A. Smith Just Landed Another Big Media Gig
Stephen A. Smith can't stop, won't stop ... working, that is. The ESPN personalty appeared on SiriusXM's The Howard Stern Show on Wednesday, and excitedly announced that he signed a new deal to host and executive produce two radio shows for SiriusXM. Beginning in September, the company announced in a subsequent press release, Smith will host and executive produce the two new original shows. "His new daily sports talk show will air weekdays on Mad Dog Sports Radio (channel 82), delivering his signature energy and unfiltered takes on the biggest headlines in sports. Smith's new show will join a daily Mad Dog Sports Radio lineup that features the anchor program, 'Mad Dog Unleashed,' hosted by the channel headliner and Smith's weekly 'First Take' teammate on ESPN, Christopher 'Mad Dog' Russo," the company his second new show, Smith "will create a weekly current events, pop culture and social commentary-focused show that will debut on SiriusXM and be the first place for listeners to hear Smith's sharp commentary and compelling discussions on everything beyond the world of sports - from politics and social issues to entertainment news, pop culture trends and more." The show is expected to air each week on a non-sports SiriusXM channel that'll be announced at a later time."To say that I'm excited would be an understatement,' Smith said via the statement. 'I've been on Mad Dog before, had the time of my life. So I'm loving the fact that I get to reunite with my guy, Mad Dog, on his turf. That, in itself, is a beautiful thing. But to then add a weekly show where I have a potent platform to discuss riveting subjects in the world of Pop Culture, Politics and Social Commentary…let's just say it doesn't get any better than that. September can't come soon enough. It's been a long time since I've been in going back and forth with the callers. Can't wait to get re-started. Buckle Up! I'm coming!" It's worth noting Smith broaches those exact same topics on his eponymous podcast, which he owns. The podcast's future is unclear amid the new SiriusXM deal. The move comes just days after Russo playfully jabbed at ESPN re-signing Smith to a new deal worth more than $100 million to become the network's first personality to surpass the figure. Stephen A.

Michelle Beadle Slams Stephen A. Smith After He Takes Over Her Radio Timeslot
Michelle Beadle just went scorched Earth on her former ESPN co-worker Stephen A. Smith, whose news this week that he's taking over her SiriusXM Radio timeslot this fall "blindsided" her because she found out via a story in a Hollywood trade magazine. Beadle, a former host of ESPN's Get Up and the popular but since-canceled SportsNation, told Front Office Sports that New York Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau was more gracefully fired than what she experienced after learning about Smith's new gig. "The Hollywood Reporter comes out—and there's his face. I was like, I should have known. That was just kind of gross,' she told FOS. 'I don't care that we're being replaced or what have you. It happens all the time. But a little respect would have been nice. Good Lord. I was totally blindsided. Just really embarrassed, to be honest."Smith appeared on The Howard Stern Show on Wednesday and announced his two new shows: a weekday sports show from 1-3 p.m. ET. Smith is replacing Beadle in that timeslot, a timeslot Beadle and her partner, Cody Decker, enjoyed for two years. Smith's also getting a weekly show that covers sports, politics and pop culture. "In fairness, we do need more coverage of 'Jamal Williams' and other fun 'facts,'" Beadle ripped Smith in a subtweet. Beadle and Smith have not gotten along ever since Smith essentially came to Ray Rice's defense amid the NFL star's 2014 brutal assault on his then-fiancee, which was caught on elevator security footage and first shared by TMZ. Beadle, at the time, tweeted her disgust at Smith's poor take on First Take. Smith was later suspended for that take and he apologized. Beadle, whose contract at SiriusXM runs through August, admits "there's no love lost" between her and Smith. Then she really laid into him."I don't respect him. I don't respect his work. He doesn't like me. This goes back to the Ray Rice stuff. He made some really piggish comments on the air. I responded; he got suspended for [a week]," Beadle said. "I think that was sort of the beginning of the end for anything. I just don't respect him. I think he gets things wrong all the time. I'm not talking about opinions; those can never be wrong. But factually, when you spread yourself so thin, it's hard to be right. Not a fan.' In the end, Beadle admits that the move boils down to business and the harsh reality that business can also be cruel, even to the most successful and popular figures. 'It's a reminder: We're just all pieces of shit to someone," the former YES Network host says. "If you forgot, there it is.' Michelle Beadle Slams Stephen A.
