Kathleen Turner Talks About Nic Cage Lawsuit
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Sony, Drama, Comedy, Celeb News, Celebrity Controversy,
Although they survived a tumultuous relationship in Peggy Sue Got Married, Nicolas Cage and Kathleen Turner may now be heading to court. The Ghost Rider star has just filed a defamation and libel case in London’s High Court based on statements his former co-star has made.
In Turner’s new autobiography, Send Yourself Roses: Thoughts on My Life, Love, and Leading Roles, the actress alleges Cage had problems with theft and drinking during the production of their 1986 movie. In the book, she states:
“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.”
Well Cage, 44, was not too pleased by those remarks (as proven by the suit) and has gone on the record denying her claims. (I would think a quick background check would quickly settle this matter. In fact, didn’t her book have a fact checker?)

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Talk Shows, Cable, Gossip,
During an episode of Comedy Central’s The Colbert Report, host Stephen Colbert made a joke that the Republican presidential candidates sounded like Klingons (you know, from Star Trek) while talking about honor. Now, Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks, an Air America morning show, says the joke was actually his – told on his Sept. 7 radio program. Uygur has already made a stink on YouTube, the Web site that is slowly taking over every single media story in the U.S. A Colbert spokeswoman offered no immediate comment, but said the issue is likely to be addressed on the show. As Jon Stewart might say, “eggggggcellent.”

Are “Geek Squad” Agents Stealing From Your Computer?
Posted by Lolita Beckwith Categories: PC / Laptop,
We love the folks over at The Consumerist, a website devoted to letting disgruntled shoppers stick it to The Man. Now they’ve gone all “Dateline/Primetime Live” on us, conducting an undercover 3-month sting operation. Their mission? To see if a Best Buy Geek Squad Agent would stoop so low as to steal porn, music, etc. off of a customer’s PC brought in for repair. The sting was in response to rumors that this happened to actual customers in numerous cities. To create bait, a computer was loaded with porn—and rigged to film any wrongdoings as they actually happened. While most of the Geek Squad-ers presented with the porn-laded PC passed the test, one dishonest techie failed miserably, filmed stealing pornography and transferring it to his company-issued thumb drive. Rumor has it there is even a Geek Squad “central server”, where the Agents share their illicit booty (no pun intended). Click here to view video of the actual theft, and to learn how to protect your files when bringing your computer in to be fixed. Because you know if the Geek Squad is doing it, your neighborhood repair shop could be too.

Jesse L. Martin, who plays Detective Ed Green on Law & Order, was the victim of a robbery during a visit to his hometown of Buffalo, NY. In town to shoot a film, Martin was eating breakfast and signing autographs on Monday morning, only to have his car broken into. The thief got away with Martin’s luggage, iPod and autographed photos. Director Peter McGennis said of the incident, “He’s lived in New York City for 20 years and has never been robbed or a victim of theft. He comes back here and in two days he gets fleeced.” The film Martin was shooting is an indie movie called Buffalo Bushido. Without his luggage, Martin flew to New York City with just the clothes he was wearing and his wallet. Quite a homecoming—Martin graduated from the Buffalo Academy for Visual and Performing Arts.
