Nicholas Cage Sued by Ex-Wife Despite Financial Woes

Poor Nicholas Cage! After being bogged down with all of his debts, now his former wife is out to get him even more bankrupt as she's filing a lawsuit against him worth $13 million. Ouch! Nick's ex-wife Christina Fulton, who's the mom of his 18 year old son Weston, reasoned out that she's suing for "mental, physical and emotional abuse" that the Con Air actor had caused her. Weston, who's caught up in between the scuffle of his parents, is reportedly upset about all these events.
Nicholas Cage Sued by Ex-Wife Despite Financial Woes

In her affidavit Christina Fulton filed on December 8, she informed that Nicholas Cage bought a house in Los Angeles for her and their son. Fulton revealed that the 44 year old actor promised her that he would sign it to her name but failed to do so. This problem was only unveiled to her when she received a 60 day notice to vacate the property. Fulton cries that it was her ex-husband's negligence that she owes the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) over $1 million and her credit card bills went up to $250,000 because he pledged that he would pay that off.


On the other hand, Nicholas Cage's lawyer Martin Singer laughed off the case of his client's ex-wife because it's entirely "ridiculous and absurd". Singer furthered that "Nicolas has given her approximately $3 million every year for many years, even though he was only obligated to pay her $6,000-a-month in child support. We expect this lawsuit to be promptly thrown out."


Caught up in financial woes, Cage owes $6.3 million in back taxes, which has led to him having to sell off many of his assets including properties and yachts. All these financial worries Nicholas Cage blames his former accountant for it for negligence. Yet, his accountant fired back at him by saying that it was Cage's fault because of his uncontrollable and self-destructive spending by buying a dinosaur skull worth $276,000, a Lamborghini that cost him $495,000, two yachts, three castles, several mansions and a personal jet. Whoa! What kind of millionaire wouldn't go bankrupt with all these unnecessary purchases?

Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady Sued by Paparazzi over Wedding Incident

It was the wedding in Costa Rica that was supposed to end with "happy ever after" for supermodel Gisele Bundchen and New England Patriot quarterback Tom Brady. Yet this might not be the case for the newly-wed couple as two photographers (paparazzi, actually) are suing them for $1 million dollars over the alleged shooting that almost endangered their lives, limbs and career (to annoy more celebs). Agence France-Presse (AFP) photographer Yuri Cortez and local Costa Rican photographer Rolando Aviles have already filed the appropriate lawsuit against the couple in the U.S. District Court in Manhattan.
Paparazzis Suing Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady
Although nobody was hurt by the bullets that were fired, the paparazzi insist that they suffered mental anguish and physical injuries because of that. AFP, one of the largest news networks in the world, stood by their photographer as it incurred a great expense over that incident, since a rented car was damaged. Also, two photographers feared for their lives as the bullets narrowly missed them. Bundchen and Brady, together with their agents, are still not commenting about this issue. Oh well, they should rather have a wedding under a rock if they don't want paps to hang around. To know more details about the paparazzi case against Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen, just read the Washington Post.
