Nicolas Cage is Broke

If you're feeling a tad poor because of the economic meltdown, tell yourself that at least you're not Nicolas Cage. The highest paid actor in Hollywood is broke:

How could one of Hollywood's highest paid actors find himself owing $6.3 million in back taxes and deep in money troubles? The answer is, "Easy," if you believe Nicolas Cage.

In a lawsuit filed Oct. 16 in Los Angeles, the National Treasure star, 45, claims that his longtime business manager, Samuel J. Levin, "lined his [own] pockets with several million dollars in business management fees while sending Cage down a path toward financial ruin."

Seems to happen a lot with actors and musicians, doesn't it? One of many reasons I generally ignore celebrities when they try to pose as experts on important issues. It would be sad if it weren't so easily avoided by applying a bit of common sense to the real world outside of their bubble of fame.

So he got ripped off by a Samuel Levin. When you play ball with that tribe, it's only a matter of time before they shove the bat up your @##. According to chess titan Bobby Fisher, they have an "insane lust for other people's money." What's yours is really theirs. It's in the Talmud.
