Nic Cage is an interesting man: he named his son Kal El - after Superman, he's built a pyramid shaped mausoleum down in New Orleans that he hopes to one day be buried in, and he has an interest in conspiracy theories - which may have been the basis for a few of his films. He also as a volatile marriage. His marriage is what's got him in today's exciting post.
Seems Mr Cage was down in New Orleans with his wife - the lovely and talented Alice Kim. She would be the mother of Kal El I guess. Anyway Mr Cage was feeling no pain, and by that I mean he was inebriated. Sometimes when alcohol starts doing your thinking for you it also starts doing the talking. Sometimes it makes married men get a little brave with their wives too. Cage and Kim were having a difference of opinion, and since the alcohol was disagreeing with him too - he must have felt the 2 on 1 situation was a bit much. So Nicky got loud and mouthy!
Well with all the drunken shouting and hollering that was going on 2 of New Orleans finest pulled up. They've been on hi alert every since the Bog Easy became a disaster zone, and so the hullabaloo must've attracted their attention. Anyway they pull up and want to know what the fuck is going on. This changed the power dynamic of the situation from 2 on one to 4 on 1: Nic versus his wife, the booze and 2 cops for those of you keeping score. Naturally that's gonna make anyone defensive. especially if they're a little strange and drunk out of their mind. So Nic gets mouthy with the cops. Now anyone fresh of the back of a turnip truck could tell you that's a bad idea!
While every one is shouting and hollering like a pack of hillbillies with a bad case of moon shine poisoning Nic says those magic words "Well why don't you just go ahead and arrest me!" When it comes to slapping on the cuffs the boys in blue usually don't need any encouragement. In this case Nic's wish was their command. They had the bracelets on the lad, and him in the back of the squad car faster than you could say "TMZ". That lead to the following mug shot -to be added to that ever growing celebrity rogue's gallery:
It's quite a bit different from another mug shot, the one that launched his career in Raising Arizona - but that's the difference between movies and reality for you. Here's that other mug shot for some side by side comparison!
Those were happier times - he started out like Jeff Spicoli and wound up like Sean Penn; how ironic!
Anyway his wife has made a statement on the incident - sort of. She has insisted to cops and to the media that there was no domestic abuse involved. Nic never laid a finger on her. He was just being a jerk. She also isn't planning to press any charges. That's good cause Cage is already out on 11 000 bail. This is were it gets interesting. Just guess who bailed him out! That would be none other than celebrity bounty hunter Duane Chapman - better known to the world as Dog!
Dog has made a public statement to the effect that he will not be making any public statements about the Cage Affair. I think that he means he won't be making any more public statements. Then again nothing was ever strait forward in Hollywood. Things there don't make too much sense either! While keeping mum on the matter Dog went on to say that he is a huge and committed fan of Mr Cage. He also wants to remind the public that he is a consummate professional, and Mr Cage is his client. That means Mr Cage can count on him, unless Nicky makes a run for it or something. Dog does says that he doesn't think a bail skip is gonna be a problem in this case. With Nicky you can't be too sure though. No word on whether Starwhackers were involved in this incident. Maybe they have targeted Cage for getting to close to the truth through his amateur conspiracy work. If so I'm sure we'll be hearing about it in one of Cage's upcoming movies. That is assuming Cage doesn't do a bail skip and forcing Dog to put the smack down on him!
