Financially strapped actor Nicolas Cage is selling his homes, cars, yachts, and artwork so he can pay off his IRS bill and help stave-off bankruptcy.. Don't fret though.. He's hard at work on the movie set... Some upcoming projects;  National Treasure 3: The Search For Write-Offs, Broke In 60 Seconds, and Leveraging Las Vegas...

Academy Award winning actor Nicolas Cage says he is broke.

I guess this means he won’t be reimbursing me for the $12.50 I wasted on “Knowing.” 

In November Nicolas Rapp says he will be quitting my job and heading out on one of the last true adventures left on earth: Driving around the world. He'll  spend about a year on the road, starting and finishing in New York. When he can't drive, he'll ship the car by boat, then fly to the next stop to pick it up. The route will be a tough one. He'll cross Central America, then head down South America to Buenos Aires. From there, he'll ship the car to South Africa, then drive north through Africa to Europe. He'll stop in Paris to get some paperwork done, then go east through Eastern Europe, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, and India. He'll ship the car to Thailand, drive to Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia and Indonesia, and put the car on a final sailing home to the U.S.  ***MARLAR: Some husbands will do anything to get some quiet time away from their wives.

Nicolas Cage owes 6.2 million dollars to the IRS. I guess there is a new tax on shitty movies. 

French President Nicolas Sarkozy condemned the wearing of burkas on Monday, saying the traditional Muslim garment that covers women from head to toe was a "sign of subservience" and was not "welcome in France."  The French President said, however, that he would make an exception if Susan Boyle would visit France. 

Barack Obama said the test was of "grave concern."  Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown said the move was "misguided."  And France's President Nicolas Sarkozy announced his country's "unconditional surrender." 

At the just-ended 2008 Governor's Conference Sarah Palin was asked by a Canadian journalist how she would address French President, Nicolas Sarkozy. She claimed, "I don't have his address. Sorry." When further queried about how to address him in person, she replied, "Sir Sarkozy, I really  like Buckingham Palace and the piece you were last married to. You do well for yourself!"

Sarah Palin  took a prank call Saturday from a Canadian comedian posing as French President Nicolas Sarkozy.   Palin said afterwards that she knew it was a prank call because the president of France is Napoleon Bonaparte.

The IRS agreed to reduce the amount of  taxes Cage owed if he would apologize for "Bangkok Dangerous."
