Kathleen Turner had to say sorry to Nicolas Cage for alleging in her book that Nicolas was arrested twice for drunk driving and for also stealing a chihuahua. Apparently Nicolas Cage didn’t want all four of his fans to think he was some kind of menace on the roads or enjoyed the company of dogs.

Fortunately for us, all of this apologizing stuff is limited to the UK. The rest of us can just laugh and laugh at Nicolas because he wouldn’t have any kind of chance of winning over here in the US.
You know if he had just let this alone it would have been done. The whole purpose behind all of this was he really does think he has a bunch of 10 year old fans because of the National Treasure films. Maybe he does. How many ten year old kids are begging their parents to read them excerpts from Kathleen Turner’s book? Does he think Nickelodeon is going to break into programming to say that Nic Cage is alleged to have stolen a dog 20 years ago? Hell no. Are kids taking the time each morning to read The Daily Mail? What do you want to bet that maybe he made a move on Kathleen all those years ago and she turned him down. She was decent looking back then, and now he just wants to get back at her.

I think the chances are much higher that a 10 year old kid is going to be horrified by his acting in Peggy Sue Got Married than in anything he may have done off the set. I notice he doesn’t seem to care that a kid might turn the channel and see him killing himself with booze and hookers. That is a great example to set for the kids. One paragraph about dog napping and drunk driving in a 300 page book is kind of going to get lost in the shuffle when a kid is watching Honeymoon In Vegas and asks his mom why the man from National Treasure is selling the woman from SATC to another man for money.

Hollywood star Nicolas Cage is being accused of using his production company to “wrongly write off $3.3 million in personal expenses”.The actor is fighting an Internal Revenue Service payment after allegedly using his Los Angeles-based company, Saturn Productions, to pay for “limos, meals, gifts, travel”, reports New York gossip column PageSix.com. However, the stars spokesman says the items were for “security needs”. Cage has filed a U.S. Tax Court lawsuit disputing $814,000 in taxes and penalties while Saturn is refusing to pay the IRS $988,000.

On Friday, Nic Cage’s attorney began libel proceedings against Kathleen Turner at London’s High Court.

Cage, 44, is suing Turner, his former Peggy Sue Got Married co-star, 53, for writing in her new autobiography Send Yourself Roses that the actor was busted for two DUIs and once stole a Chihuahua.

Turner writes, “He caused so many problems. He was arrested twice for drunk-driving and, I think, once for stealing a dog. He’d come across a chihuahua he liked and stuck it in his jacket.”

But in a statement issued last month, Cage fired back: “I have never been arrested for anything in my life, nor have I stolen a dog.”

Cage’s lawyer tells New York’s Daily News, “If he doesn’t get a retraction, he intends to go full speed ahead with litigation in the U.S.”

Kathleen Turner

Hollywood stars Nicolas Cage and Kathleen Turner are getting ready for a court battle. Cage has started legal proceedings against his former Peggy Sue Got Married co-star, after she accused him of drunk driving and theft in her new autobiography. In the new book, Send Yourself Roses, the 53 year old insists Cage went to great lengths to disobey his uncle and the director of the 1986 comedy, Francis Ford Coppola, and even got in trouble with the police while filming the hit movie.Turner writes, “Everything Francis (Ford Coppola) wanted him (Cage) to do, he went against to show that he wasn’t under his uncle’s wing. Which was ridiculous. Oh, that stupid voice of his and the fake teeth! Honestly, I cringe to think about it. He caused so many problems.”He was arrested twice for drunk driving and, I think, once for stealing a dog. He’d come across a Chihuahua he liked and stuck it in his jacket.” Yesterday Cage issued libel proceedings against the actress at the High Court in London. A spokesman for the actor says, “The libel action follows false allegations that appear in the forthcoming autobiography. As legal proceedings have been commenced, it would be inappropriate to comment further.”

Actress Kathleen Turner’s upcoming autobiography “Send Yourself Roses” includes dirt on her Peggy Sue Got Married co-star Nicolas Cage. The movie was directed by Nic’s uncle Francis Ford Coppola and apparently the future Ghost Rider was a pain in the ass on set, according to Page Six:

“Everything Francis wanted him to do, he went against to show that he wasn’t under his uncle’s wing. Which was ridiculous. Oh, that stupid voice of his and the fake teeth! Honestly, I cringe to think about it. He caused so many problems,” Turner writes. “He was arrested twice for drunk driving and, I think, once for stealing a dog. He’d come across a Chihuahua he liked and stuck it in his jacket.”

A Chihuahua in the jacket, huh? That’s bush league. One time I smuggled a Great Dane and two Pomeranians in my pants. I’ll let you read between the lines on that one… ladies. (Hint: I love puppies!)

WHICH leading man has aged a bit since his last major starring role - and so, in an effort to freshen up, got a dye job and an eye lift? Studio execs on the sure-to-be-blockbuster movie he’s in are relieved. (Page Six )

I couldn’t decide between Harrison Ford and Nicolas Cage? They both have movie’s coming out, but I’m pretty sure Harrison didn’t get that mop dyed.

Isn’t it the worst when you wake up in the middle of the night to find a naked guy trying on your clothes?  Nicolas Cage had a similar experience this past Monday, and it has “creepy” written all over it.

The Snake Eyes actor reportedly found 45-year-old Dennis Furo in one of his Newport Beach house’s bathrooms at 1:30 in the friggin morning.
