A representative for Brooke Shields has brushed off reports of trouble with the tax office, insisting a mix-up with official documents has now been corrected. The actress and her husband Chris Henchy were reportedly facing a $10,000 bill after executives at America's Internal Revenue Service [IRS] filed a federal tax lien on December 31, 2009 relating to payments from 2004 and 2005.

Brooke doesn't owe anything. All taxes were filed and paid timely. The IRS credited her payments to the wrong tax account."

Funnyman Tom Green has signed on to topline director Bob Spiers' comedy Bob the Butler, London-based sales and finance house Park Entertainment said. The project is billed by the filmmakers as a comedy in the vein of the Robin Williams starrer Mrs. Doubtfire and details the story of an American (Green) traveling to the United Kingdom to train as a butler before traveling back to the States to work. A U.K./Canada co-production, the project will be produced by Gavin Wilding and Esther Randall from a script penned by Jane Walker Wood and Steven Manners. Veteran U.K. television director Spiers' credits include Fawlty Towers and Absolutely Fabulous. "Tom Green as an actor and performer is perfect to portray an unemployed, naturally accident-prone enthusiast," Spiers said. Park is repping worldwide sales outside North America, and North American rights are being repped by the co-producers.
