In this morning’s news that made me giggle (and not much makes me giggle before my latte): Nic Cage is suing Kathleen Turner for accusing him of stealing a Chihuahua.
Nic’s attorney began libel proceedings against Kathleen in London’s High Court because, as you may remember, she claimed in her new autobiography Send Yourself Roses that the actor was busted for two DUIs and once stole a Chihuahua.
Kathleen wrote: “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.”
Nic’s lawyer tells The New York Daily News, “If he doesn’t get a retraction, he intends to go full speed ahead with litigation in the U.S.”
“I AM NO CHIHUAHUA THIEF, MA’AM!”
It was a Pekingese. And he didn’t stick it in his jacket — he’s wearing it on his head. Sheesh. Get your facts straight, Turner!

Can we add Nic to the most annoying celebrity wannabe list-he thinks he’s Sir Laurence Olivier reincarnated! Oh! Wait, never mind,-Larry had a sense of humor!

All the proof I need is in Scarlett Johansen’s fierce eyes and tight clutching of her little dog on the cover of W. Obviously she lives by Nicolas Cage and has seen him in action.

Man! if this guy didn’t take himself soooo damn serious he could get serious mileage off this.
(like when David Spade got beat up by his psychotic friend…and had everyone laughing about it)

Vern & Javelin: hilarious. It’s probably easier for Cage to steal small dogs these days. He puts on his famous “Wicker Man” bear suit and slyly slips any petite pooch that takes his eye in there.

Nicolas Cage & Kathleen Turner-
Who cares?
He likes little dogs,
she’s writing a book no one wants to buy.

British Bitch,
Thanks for the kind words on this and other posts. At the risk of gushing I would like to say I adore your posts!
And thanks for pointing out a stellar example from Nic’s “impressive” repertoire!
He’s so amazing we should bronze him!

Vern: I think ScarJo’s little dog has been bronzed; by the same salon Lindsay Lohan uses. Looks like it started out a creamy-white and now has a very streaky bronzer smeared on top. Poor chihuahua.
Thank you so much for the compliment. After a day of intense verbal abuse from clients (meaning I couldn’t do a Britney and tell them to “kiss my arse”) it was so nice to come home and read what you had written. Cue Amy Winehouse “Mockney”* voice “I’d like to thank my crack dealer, Vern, my Blaaake Incarcerated, Holy Candy, my well-off family for sending me to stage school where I learnt how to do this poor-person’s affected accent …”
*Mock-Cockney - think accents on Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels.
