Nicolas Cage Arrested on Domestic Violence Charge
Nicolas Cage was arrested in Louisiana early Saturday morning, following an altercation with his wife of six years, Alice.
The incident that led to the arrest was a rather public one: According to
TMZ sources, the Oscar winner was "very drunk" on a New Orleans street when a taxi driver allegedly witnessed the couple quarreling loudly. The cabbie reportedly called the police when Cage pushed his wife.
Cage is said to have taunted cops into taking him into custody, repeatedly refusing their request to quietly go home and asking, "Why don't you just arrest me?" The officers ultimately obliged, charging Cage with disturbing the peace and domestic violence.
He remains in custody awaiting a bail hearing; his wife is reportedly denying any physical violence occurred, and expressing no wish to press charges.
With Alice, the actor is raising a son named Kal-El, born in 2005. Cage, who lost his father in 2009, was previously married to Patricia Arquette and Lisa Marie Presley.
Cage has a history of public outbursts, including a blow-up last year
(caught on tape) on the Romanian set of a movie, and a
bar fight in New Orleans last month.
Nobody would dispute that Cage has been battling his fair share of demons recently, including major financial woes. The IRS has alleged for years that he owed millions in income and property tax, while the mother of Cage's firstborn son sued him in 2009 for more than $13 million. That same year, Cage filed a $20 million negligence and fraud suit against his business manager, Samuel Levin -- who then accused Cage of ignoring his pleas to stop living beyond his means. Levin said in a countersuit that Cage was repeatedly advised to curtail his spending, but instead ended up purchasing yachts, Rolls Royces, a Gulfstream jet and 15 homes.

Personal situations may not necessarily be interpreted in its actual context. Witnesses may misconstrue details. Perhaps in this case, excess and money had nothing to do with the occurance.
exactly!...i just think they are just "spoiled"little kids....and he doesn't know how ridiculus he looks coloring his hair.....
That Elenore Mustang movie was cool. I somehow don't think he is abusive, maybe while drinking abusive Tequila...Al-
It is a mixed up sentence. Could you please rephrase it? Thanks.

"Cage was repeatedly advised to curtail his spending, but instead ended up purchasing yachts, Rolls Royces, a Gulfstream jet and 15 homes"
Spending like a depressed housewife, then getting drunk.
That'll make one mean.
This happens to non-celebrities/rich as well. We just don't hear about it.
women are as 'domestic abusive' as men. tell gloria allred she'll never solve the problem denying, or ignoring that truth..
Nick, honey, when the New Orleans police give you the option to go home, do it. They aren't exactly known for putting up with drunken BS.
excess and money seem to make more people miserable than happy. Look at what is happening in our world today due to that excess and money. Read 1 Timothy 6 and see what I mean.
woke up in a nola doorway, a policeman knew my name, he said you can sleep at home tonight if you can get up and walk away...
Noone Cares , not even the ones pumping what their boyfriends says...on here

LOL
Who is Noone?
Who is Noone?? Peter Noone?? I suspect you mean NO ONE, which is not now, nor has it ever been, one word.
"No-one" is how it's suppose to be written in the English language. You have to put the dash in between those two words.
Actually, it is two separate words - non hyphenated ( that "dash" ) as Anita says: however, I think no-one is accepted (and looks "right" ) - so let's vote to change it.
