The Mega Millions jackpot is up to a record-breaking $640 million, and it’s anybody’s game! Though we won’t know the winning numbers until later this evening, Celebuzz thought we’d take a look back at some of the best TV and movie moments that featured people (like us) hoping to win big.

So, what are some of our favorites that come to mind?

First one for us would be Lost! Though we didn’t know it at the time, when Hurley won the lottery, the winning numbers “4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42″ would play a huge role in the rest of the mysterious series. Watch the video above.

Full House
On an episode of Full House, the gang tries to make Uncle Joey think that he won the lottery by putting an old video in the VCR (remember those?!) and trying to convince him that he had some winning lotto ticket numbers. Well, it looks like the joke ends up being on them! Check out the video here.

It Could Happen to You
In the 1994 flick, It Could Happen to You,Nicolas Cage plays a cop who can’t tip his waitress at a local diner, so promises he will split his lotto earnings with her if he wins. Turns out, he ends up winning – $4 million to be exact! His greedy wife (Rosie Perez) doesn’t want to share it with the waitress (Bridget Fonda), and the cop and his wife end up splitting. But the cop and the waitress end up with the best prize of all — love!

Lottery Ticket
Bow Wow and a number of others starred in the 2010 film, Lottery Ticket, about, “Kevin Carson is a young man living in the projects who has to survive a three-day weekend after his opportunistic neighbors find out he’s holding a winning lottery ticket worth $370 million.”

Windfall
In 2006, Luke Perry starred in a short-lived series called Windfall that dealt with the downsides of winning the lotto among a group of 20 friends who decide to split the money.

Friends
Joey, Chandler, Monica, Ross, Rachel and Phoebe got into a lot of shenenigans over their 10 years of Friends-hip, but perhaps one of the biggest tests for this tight-knit group? The lotto of course! In a episode that aired in 2003, “When everyone except Ross pools together to buy tickets for the lottery, Phoebe gets a prediction from her psychic that they will win. Ross, despite his skepticism, gets in on the action.” Check out a video here!

Early Edition
Before Kyle Chandler took on the role of Coach Taylor in Friday Night Lights, he played Gary Hobson on Early Edition from 1996 to 2000. For some unknown reason, Gary received newspapers a day early, and had 24 hours to “set things right.” One of the first time he realized what was happening to him was when he played winning lotto numbers.

Boy Meets World
On an episode of Boy Meets World, Eric is convinced he has some kind of psychic powers, which he tries to use to win big money.

How I Met Your Mother
When Robin’s citizenship is in question, she considers (horror of all horrors!) taking a job as the “Lotto Girl.” But not before Barney has some (hilarious) fun at the current Lotto Girl’s expense.

The Office
On The Office, the warehouse guys win the lottery! Which can’t be good for the actual office folks at Dunder-Mifflin.

Which moment is your fave? Are there any we left out? Let us know in the comments!

In light of Christina Aguilera‘s rumored romance with production assistant Matthew D. Rutler, Celebuzz takes a look at celebrity/civilian unions. Hit up the photo gallery to check ‘em out.

• Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria and husband Tony Parker are reportedly planning on having a baby “soon.” (PopEater)

• Praise the internet gods: there is now a website that lets you add every Nicolas Cage movie to your Netflix queue with one click. (Wonderwall)

• Did you know that John Goodman lost a ton of weight? He did! And now no one will stop asking him about it. (Huffington Post)

• True Blood star Anna Paquin has never seen a Twilight film. What, she can’t support the other human-vampire relationships out there? (Hollywood Life)

The Sick Film Actor:

This famous actor has been through multiple films… and multiple wives. Underneath his quirky charm, however, lurks a really evil twin. One who likes to take everything to extreme. While he’s not known for any actual violence toward his loved ones, he does like to talk about some very disturbing acts, including rape, kidnapping, torture, S&M, dismemberment, etc. In fact, he wants to produce a real snuff film in which people are actually injured and killed during the making of the film. He’ll have to face reality, though. His out-of-control spending prohibits his financing anything, and he’s going to have to keep working for a long time simply to pay the bills. (Blind Gossip)

Yuck, this guy sounds like a real weirdo. But the only actor with multiple wives and a reputation for overspending that we can think of is Nicolas Cage. Let’s hope he never makes enough money to finance a snuff film.

The Giving Ex-Boyfriend:

Awkward for most people, but not for this actress. Do you remember last year in Cannes when this B list television and sometime movie actress was doing coke and playing sex games with several people? Well, our actress has moved on, even if her career has progressed straight down. She and her new celebrity boyfriend, who is very familiar with our actresses’ kinky sexual proclivities which involve lots and lots of S&M are in Cannes together this year. Anyway, the couple ran into one of the guys our actress shared drugs and sex with last year. Instead of the situation being awkward, the new celebrity boyfriend invited the guy to come along back to their hotel where they all took turns, well, with umm, each other. (Crazy Days and Nights)

Hm, Hayden Panettiere and her giant boyfriend are currently in Monaco together, is that close enough for Cannes?

Want a chance to guess?Let us know who your picks are in the comments below.

Being something of a god himself, Nic decided that his tomb should be like that of the ancient gods and settled on a giant white pyramid-shaped tomb. We wouldn’t have expected anything less for Nic.

Is it any coincidence that a pyramid-symbol played an important part in Nic’s National Treasure film franchise? Of course not, and we wouldn’t be surprised if Nic had his body wrapped in copies of the U.S. Constitution as he was laid to rest. It just makes sense.

Let’s take a moment then to enjoy the greatest on-screen and off-screen looks pulled off by our dear Nic. The man is a master of sartorial and hair risks. Sure, he can sometimes come off looking a little silly, but that’s just who he is. Let’s let Nic be Nic, you guys.

Running his fingers through his thinning, newly blond locks and mumbling, “Oh, this,” Cage set aside his professional obligations and launched into a 45-minute explanation of his bold new hairstyle.

The Daily Express reports that the Pirates of the Caribbean actor is reaching out big-time to fellow actor Nicolas Cage, who’s in serious financial trouble thanks to a multimillion-dollar tax bill.

Apparently, Depp feels indebted to Cage, who put him in contact with his agent, which led to Depp’s first film role in A Nightmare on Elm Street. And now the Sweeney Todd actor is willing to do “whatever it takes” to return the favor.

A friend of the actor’s reveals,

“Johnny called Nic and basically told him not to worry and he’d help him and sort everything out. Johnny feels he owes his career to Nic and now wants to repay him—if Nic agrees…Johnny has never forgotten what Nic did for him.”

Of course, with the amount of money that Depp is pulling in these days, he could probably find whatever Cage will need between his couch cushions, but still, you have to admit—it’s a pretty nice gesture.

According to Variety, Columbia Pictures is in early talks with Nicolas Cage to play the gangster villain in The Green Hornet.

The movie, which is due out next summer, stars Seth Rogen as the masked crime-fighter. Cameron Diaz is already in negotations to play a reporter and love interest for Rogen, something that did not exist in the original TV series.

The film looked like it was in some trouble last week, when actor Stephen Chow left the movie. He was supposed to be playing the role of sidekick Kato (a role originated by Bruce Lee).

What do you think of the cast proposed cast of Rogen, Diaz, and Cage? Share your thoughts in the comments!

And one quote in particular has upset the movie’s director, Michael Bay.

Fox told Entertainment Weekly, “I mean, I can’t sh*t on this movie because it did give me a career and open all these doors for me. But I don’t want to blow smoke up people’s *ss. People are well aware that this is not a movie about acting.”

Now, Bay has a thing or two to say back to the 23-year-old actress. He told the Wall Street Journal: “Well, that’s Megan Fox for you. She says some very ridiculous things because she’s 23 years old and she still has a lot of growing to do. You roll your eyes when you see statements like that and think, ‘Okay Megan, you can do whatever you want. I got it.’”

He adds, “Nick Cage wasn’t a big actor when I cast him, nor was Ben Affleck before I put him in Armageddon. Shia LaBeouf wasn’t a big movie star before he did Transformers— and then he exploded. Not to mention Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, from Bad Boys.”

Bay goes on, “Nobody in the world knew about Megan Fox until I found her and put her in Transformers,” he says. “I like to think that I’ve had some luck in building actors’ careers with my films.”

Burn! Not good to bite the hand that feeds, Meg.

The 45-year-old actor, whose latest flick Knowing proved a surprise hit at the box office this month, tells MTV that he’d jump at the chance to play a baddie in Christopher Nolan‘s Batman movie franchise.

“I would love to play a supervillain. I think that would be a whole lot of fun,” Cage enthuses. “Yeah. If they call and invite me, I’d do it. Certainly.”

Cage’s interest in comics-related movies is long-standing. He was slated to portray the Man of Steel in the shelved Superman Lives, and starred in the title character of 2007′s Ghost Rider, which failed to ignite much interest in the movie-going public. His latest comic-themed movie, Kick-Ass, is scheduled for release this year.

The competition for villain roles in upcoming Batman films is pretty fierce. So far, Angelina Jolie, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Johnny Depp have been mentioned as contenders, in the roles of Catwoman, the Penguin and the Riddler, respectively.
