NICOLAS CAGE IS SUING KATHLEEN TURNER

Kathleen Turner

Hollywood stars Nicolas Cage and Kathleen Turner are getting ready for a court battle. Cage has started legal proceedings against his former Peggy Sue Got Married co-star, after she accused him of drunk driving and theft in her new autobiography. In the new book, Send Yourself Roses, the 53 year old insists Cage went to great lengths to disobey his uncle and the director of the 1986 comedy, Francis Ford Coppola, and even got in trouble with the police while filming the hit movie.Turner writes, "Everything Francis (Ford Coppola) wanted him (Cage) to do, he went against to show that he wasn’t under his uncle’s wing. Which was ridiculous. 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 in his jacket." Yesterday Cage issued libel proceedings against the actress at the High Court in London. A spokesman for the actor says, "The libel action follows false allegations that appear in the forthcoming autobiography. As legal proceedings have been commenced, it would be inappropriate to comment further."
