The drama in the life of ageless supermodel Christie Brinkley is seemingly never-ending. After her tumultuous divorce from shady ex Peter Cook, the mom was hoping to enjoy some calmness -- and then the tax man came knocking.
The IRS says Brinkley owes back taxes of over $500,000 and have placed a lien on her New York mansion in the Hamptons. Now the cover girl says the whole thing is just a major accounting error that she intends to rectify right away.
