Nicolas Cage has been running around telling anyone who will listen that all the stories Kathleen Turner reveals about him in her new book are lies. If you recall, yesterday I printed some sections from Kathleen's new book which is coming out soon. Just so we can see exactly what Nic Cage is whining to mommy about, lets go ahead and post it again so we get a really good idea of exactly why Kathleen Turner detests him.
"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."
I can just see Nic Cage and that smirk of his as he delivered the following line to Page Six, "While I recall Kathleen Turner being a great lady and wonderful actress, the credibility of her biography and her memory is at stake . . . Fact credibility should have been exercised on (her) part." He probably followed it with his fake grin and fake teeth and that little chuckle. He probably then went and yelled at his wife to stop spending so much money.
I think Jim Carrey should weigh in on this and tell us if Nicolas Cage was a jackass, or if in fact Kathleen Turner's memory has gone to hell. Hmmmm. I'm betting Jim will say Nic was a jackass.
Nic Cage is right up there w/Kevin "Monotone" Costner in acting ability. I have a hard time believing he was ever nominated for an Oscar. But he is in one of my favorite movies (I like the movie despite his presence, I would say - the rest of the cast of National Treasure is great).
ReplyDeleteAh Ha! whiny baby Nic Cage. And I guess we know the answer to another BI. :0)
ReplyDeleteBlaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah blah blah Nicholas Cage.
ReplyDeleteEnt, is he the answer to the BI about the actor who can't believe how much his new "wife" is spending?
Heh. I am pretty sure that back in the day Jim Carrey and Nic Cage were roommates. Double heh about the $$ the wife spends. We all thought Katie, goes to show you...
ReplyDeleteFull quote from Page Six article should have included first sentence: "But Cage fired back through a rep, telling Page Six he had never been arrested or stolen a dog." No Nic fan but geez, quote it all. It's a much more salacious story if she really has no memory and just put out BS to sell books.
ReplyDeleteHe's douche; he threw in that little barb about her memory so that people would think it was the drink talking. It's funny that he'd make jokes about delusion; HE'S the one that thought he could actually play Superman on the big screen.
ReplyDeleteThe book IS about her drinking and related problems, read the Daily Mail online for the excerpts. Arrested three times in less than a year, two for DUI, would be fairly easy to check no?
ReplyDeletejim carrey and nic cage were best friends at the time the film was made, and they stayed friends for many years after. (don't know if they still are, which is the only reason i'm writing in the past tense).
ReplyDeletei don't think carrey would call cage a jackass. but then again, maybe now he will.
p.s. -- i'm thinking those two uses of the word "jackass" indicate that one if not both of them are blind item jackasses that have yet to be revealed.
I hated Cage's voice in Peggy Sue Got Married. It was distracting and added nothing to his character. I liked the movie, DESPITE Nic Cage, not because of him.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I hate to admit it - I will always have to love Nic because of "Wild At Heart"!
ReplyDeleteSAILOR!!!
In case someone missed the blind:
ReplyDeleteToday's Blind Items -- Part One
This married with children A list film actor is having real problems with his marriage. Seems as if he finally discovered that maybe he didn't have all that much in common with his wife, and he is also having trouble figuring out how one woman can spend almost $100,000 each month on shopping. His last "wife" would go months without going to shop for clothes. Our actor also has been cheating up a storm with not only several of his co-stars on a recent film, but also anyone, anyplace who will give him the time of day.
Hmmm...wonder which co-stars Nic's cheated with.
ReplyDelete"Several" costars on a recent film... Hmmm. Here are a few notables.
ReplyDeleteNAT. TREASURE
Helen Mirren (!)
Diane Kruger
NEXT
Julianne Moore
Jessica Biel
oh, his wife had a small part in that, too
GHOST RIDER
Eva Mendes
Phil, I'm with ya! I like watching the movie, but the whole time I'm thinking "take out the dentures Nic and talk like a human, not like Mr. Ed!"
ReplyDeleteAnd really does he need to rebut? I don't see Burt running to the paper saying, "whaaaaaaaaa"
The role of The Weatherman might as well have been made for him. I love that movie, but you can't watch it without thinking Cage is a royal effing jackass.
ReplyDeleteHe used the same voice in Valley Girl, too, which was before PSGM--and a lateral lisp (say the letter s with your teeth closed and your tongue flat--the sound comes out of the sides of your mouth). I always thought THAT was his real voice and that he had a coach to help him with it.
ReplyDeleteOnly movie I really like with Nic is Snake Eyes...and I'm pretty sure I love that one because I get to see Gary Sinise in a uniform...mmmmmmmm......
I strongly dislike Nick Cage. His voice, toupe, smile - all of it bothers me. Never been able to sit through Peggy Sue got married because of him. Even when it's Sunday morning and I'm hungover on the couch, laying like a zombie and watching it on TV. Even then, I would have energy to change the channel.
ReplyDeleteOf all the actors I've ever seen, Nic Cage has the worst, most annoying voice. I have to really, really like the story in order to see a movie he is in.
ReplyDeleteThat is probably mean to say, but it's how I feel. He's one who would never have made it in Hollywood w/o a family connection.
Nic Cage ruined 'Peggy Sue'. What could have been a good film is destroyed by his performance. The scene where Kathleen Tuner hears her grandma's voice on the phone is heart-breaking. Thankfully Cage is nowhere near that scene. He blows.
ReplyDeletetracee Burt is infamous for being an asshole, I remember reading some wild stories when Boogie Nights came out. But honestly if someone claimed falsely in a book I'd been arrested 3 times, I'd not only rebut, I'd sue their a**.
ReplyDeleteNic was so funny in an early movie--anyone remember "Vampire's Kiss" with Maria Conchita Alonso?
ReplyDeleteI'll always like Nic Cage because of "Raising Arizona". I even like Holly Hunter because of "Raising Arizona".
ReplyDeleteCall it 'low talker' versus 'slow talker'. Tranny-voiced has-been Kathleen Turner has apparently got actor Nicholas Cage, (who speaks slower than a phone sex operator with a thyroid condition), in her cross-hairs. Look out.
