Nicholas Cage and Alice Kim
Nicholas Cage was arrested early Saturday morning in New Orleans when an argument broke out between him and his wife Alice Kim. Cage and his wife were arguing over the address of one of their rental properties. They were standing in front of the property that Cage didn’t think was their and that is when he grabbed his wife’s arm. He was reportedly “very drunk” and a cab driver called police when he witnessed the argument. The cab driver said “Nicholas is one of our best clients and normally such a gentleman. He is a big tipper and always very kind.” At some point Cage actually dared the cops to arrest him and so they did. Cage’s bail has been set at $11,000.

Brooke Mueller
Charlie Sheen’s soon to be ex wife Brooke Mueller has relapsed and was spotted purchasing cocaine in a gang infested neighborhood in Inglewood California. It is believed that she paid $150 for and 8 ball of crack cocaine. That Thursday morning Mueller was supposed to show up to a mandatory drug test. She is currently involved in a custody battle with Charlie Sheen over the couples two year old twin sons. She was apparently calling friends and asking them for their urine so she could use it to pass the test because she had been using again. Thursday afternoon she was seen at a pawn shop trying to hock an expensive watch. A source close to Mueller said that “Brooke is having a full fledged crack relapse.” The source also said that “Her lawyer has been trying to reach her to no avail. Brooke has 3-4 friends that are big-time party animals, and they came over to her Los Feliz mansion, picked her up, and she hasn’t been seen since.” Brooke’s mother has been taking care of the two boys since Tuesday. And what was Charlie’s response when he heard that Brooke was at a pawn shop trying to get money for drugs? It was “Don’t pick a fight with a warlock…’cause your gonna lose.”

Charlie Sheen’s Top Quotes

Posted in In The News, Movie Stars, Television Shows on March 7th, 2011 by Almostfamous – Be the first to comment

Charlie Sheen
CBS first halted the production of Two and a Half Men, which starred Charlie Sheen. Now the show has official fired him! Sheen decided to grant interviews in the past week to let the show know how he felt about production being halted. Sheen has been in the hospital numerous times now for an alleged overdose on cocaine, the reason Two and a Half Men halted production. The show’s producers wanted Sheen to go to a rehab facility but he said he would do his rehab at his home. Here are some of his crazy recent quotes:

  1. When Asked If He Would Ever Touch Drugs Again
    “I will not believe that if I do something then I have to follow a certain path because it was written for normal people, people who aren’t special, people who don’t have tiger and Adonis DNA.”
  2. Addressing Rumors That He May Be Bipolar
    “I’m bi-winning. I win here and I win there. Now what? If I’m bipolar, aren’t there moments where a guy like crashes in the corner like, ‘Oh my God, it’s all my mom’s fault!’ Shut up! Stop! Move forward!
  3. On His Plans To Sue The Show For Stopping Production
    “They’re trying to destroy my family, so I take great umbrage with that. And defeat is not an option. They picked a fight with a warlock.”
  4. Why He Deserves a $3 Million Paycheck for Two and a Half Men
    “I’m tired of pretending I’m not special. I’m tired of pretending I’m not a total bitchin’ rock star from Mars. People can’t figure me out. They can’t process me. I don’t expect them to. You can’t process me with a normal brain.”
  5. On Being A “Winner”
    “I’m sorry, man, but I’ve got magic. I’ve got poetry in my fingertips. Most of the time — and this includes naps — I’m an F-18, bro. And I will destroy you in the air. I will deploy my ordinance to the ground.”
  6. On His Substance Abuse Issues
    “I am on a drug. It’s called Charlie Sheen. It’s not available because if you try it once you will die. Your face will melt off and your children will weep over your exploded body. It’s too much.”
  7. On Comments Made By Two and a Half Men Creator Chuck Lorre
    “I fire back once and this contaminated little maggot can’t handle my power and can’t handle the truth. I wish him nothing but pain in his silly travels especially if they wind up in my octagon. Clearly I have defeated this earthworm with my words — imagine what I would have done with my fire breathing fists.”
  8. On His Wife Brooke Muller’s Restraining Order
    “Great. I was already planning on staying 100 parsecs away from her.” (A parsec is a unit of length equalling 3.26 light-years.)
  9. On His Porn Star Girlfriends The Goddesses
    “Let me say this about the Goddesses, I don’t think the term is good enough, but when you’re bound by these terrestrial descriptions, you must use the best term available. So if you think about it, dude, I’m 0-for-3 in marriage, but like in baseball, the scoreboard doesn’t lie. Never has. So what we all have is a marriage of the hearts. And to sully, contaminate, or radically disrespect this unit with a shameful contract is something I’ll leave to the amateurs and bible grippers.”
  10. On the Possibility of Relapsing
    “No. Not going to. Period. The end. I blinked and I cured my brain. Can’t is the cancer of happen.”

In a Beverly Hills courthouse on Friday September 24 Lindsay Lohan was sent back to jail by a judge because she failed a drug test. She tested positive for cocaine and adderall during a court ordered drug test last week in which Lohan acknowledged via twitter saying “Substance abuse is a disease, which unfortunately doesn’t go away over night. I am working hard to overcome it and am taking positive steps. This is certainly a setback for me but I am taking responsibility for my actions and I’m prepared to face the consequences.” Lindsay won’t be getting released early because this time she is being held by the court until October 22 for her next hearing. Sources close to Lohan say that she wasn’t expecting the judge to be so harsh on her and thought that she would at least be granted bail. It is being reported that she is being very cooperative.

Lohan posted her bail and is now a free woman although she does have to wear another SCRAM bracelet and isn’t allowed in bars or clubs.
