Cage Denies Chihuahua Thievery, Turner Laughs Throatily
Excerpts from the book, now being serialized in The Daily Mail, reveal that there's no love lost between the husky-voiced bombshell and her former Peggy Sue Got Married co-star Nicholas "I'm Not a Coppola" Cage.
"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 [sic] in his jacket."
Nicholas Cage: Hunk or Bunk? Take our poll after the jump!
Defamer notes that Cage immediately issued a statement questioning Turner's credibility and refuting her take on past events:
"I have never been arrested for anything in my life, nor have I stolen a dog. I am reaching out to my fans, many of whom are children, so that they know that I do not condone drunk driving or theft. The reason why you've never seen a mug shot of me is because it does not exist."
Turner, who is 53 and has been coping with rheumatoid arthritis, admits to having enjoyed the healing powers of vodka herself, but I'm going to go with her version of events because ever since Wild at Heart I've been really skeeved out by Cage. Her harsh words kind of validate my distrust of Cage's persona, especially as they come hard on the heels of a Page Six blind item that's been linked to Cage, 44, who is married to 23-year-old former sushi server Alice Kim:
"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."
Which is actually a bummer, unless they're talking about Tom Cruise, in which case: STICK IT TO HIM, KATIE!

God could you have gotten a worse picture of him? I mean I actually really like the guy but if I didn't know him, that picture would creep me the heck out. Me thinks Mrs. Kennedy is biased...:)

TOTALLY BIASED. I'm sure he's very nice in person, though.

Isnt that what all of his pictures look like these days?

I've always thought he was a bit "off." Not in the Tom Cruise off the charts way - yet - but "off" in a way. Isn't he the one with the Elvis fetish and Superman fetish? Anyway - I do like him several of his movies namely Guarding Tess, The Rock, Family Man and the National Treasure movies. HIs relationships with women tend to give me the hebbie jeebies...quicky marraige to Lisa Marie Presley and now a super young wife?? I've never been a Kathleen Turner fan. So, maybe I'm a tad biased.

I work part-time at a bookstore and I got an advanced reader copy of the book. I don't think the vodka came into it heavily during the Peggy Sue time-frame, but I plowed through the book pretty quickly, so I could be mis-remembering. It's a good read...a little repetitive at times, and not enough dishing on people she's worked with, but I came away with a sense of wanting to have dinner with her and chat. She's an interesting lady.
As far as Mr. Cage goes, I like him, but yeah, that might be the worst picture ever :)
