Nicolas Cage, Kathleen Turner Settle Libel Lawsuit
Turner retracts claims, apologizes.
The lawsuit filed by Nicolas Cage over strange allegations made by Kathleen Turner in her recent memoir has reached its conclusion.
Cage was pursuing claims of defamation, libel, and slander against Turner, The Daily Mail, and Headline Publishing Group, the British publisher of Turner's book, Send Yourself Roses: My Life, Love and Leading Roles. At issue were a number of passages concerning Turner's experiences working with Cage on 1986's Peggy Sue Got Married, including claims that Cage was a dog thief who picked up two DUIs while filming.
According to E! Online, on Friday, Cage's attorney appeared in London's High Court "to announce that both publishing groups had acknowledged Turner's claims to be untrue." The Daily Mail, which had excerpted the contested passages from Turner's book under the headline "Why I Detest Burt Reynolds and Nicolas Cage," has agreed to publish an apology and remove the offending article from its website; Headline Publishing will insert a correction and apology in subsequent editions of Turner's book.
Turner will also cover Cage's legal fees and make "a substantial donation to the National Adult Protective Services Foundation, a U.S.-based charity that benefits vulnerable adults."

jam06 writes: on Apr 07 2008 10:14 AM In reply to this comment (#1674264) who believes everything that they read? Kathleen was probably right, I heard Cage was a biotch to work with during the filming of Peggy-Sue. Especially the voice, he would not give it up although everyone, including his uncle, director Francis Ford, wanted him to. I liked it myself. (Reply to this) |

This is deeply insulting, as only Pomeranians should be smuggled in such a way. (Reply to this) |

Circe Prankster writes: on Apr 07 2008 12:52 PM Hey dahluzz, loved your comment. In fact, I was wondering if we could get together sometime, maybe have a cup of formula together? In the interests of full disclosure, I'm perfectly willing to admit that I'm aged 3-and-a-half and not fully potty-trained yet. I may be a slow learner that way, but I really loved the film 300, so I'm sure we'll have lots to discuss. Next time you're near a Chuck E. Cheese, give me a call. It may be an unconventional relationship, but we all know from the American Apparel thread that you're not a milquetoast, so I bet you'll be up for it. (Reply to this) |
