Skincare and fitness enthusiast Christie Brinkley apparently owes the IRS $531,720, as the agency recently placed a lien for the same amount on Brinkley's $30 million home in Bridgehampton.

Her teeth are gleaming, her waist is narrow." That's all according to the opening paragraphs in the uptown girl's cover story in New York magazine's current style issue.

There's really no reason to feel sorry for Christie Brinkley. She's richer and more beautiful than about 99.999% of the human population. But having the Post reveal that you're getting divorced from your fourth husband because he's infatuated with a 19 year old girl, well, that hits Gothamist's sympathy button.
