Nicolas Cage Arrested For Domestic Violence

I think a lot of people saw this one coming after Nicolas Cage was caught on tape recently having drunken rants.

Cage was arrested in New Orleans early Saturday morning after an alleged altercation with his wife Alice.

According to TMZ, the New Orleans Police Department states that Cage and Alice got into an argument on the street about the address of their rental home in New Orleans and Cage grabbed Alice by the arm to take her to where he thinks the two were staying.

Police arrived at the scene and only arrested Cage after he taunted the cops into doing so. “Why don’t you just arrest me?” he asked the officers. And they did for disturbing the peace and domestic violence.

Apparently it’s not a ‘Party in the U.S.A’ for Miley Cyrus anymore. Instead of keeping things local, Miley is headed to South America and Australia for her forthcoming Gypsy Heart Tour which is set to kick off on April 27.

But why is Cyrus fleeing the country? Turns out she isn’t feeling the love from America.

“I just think right now America has gotten to a place where I don’t know if they want me to tour or not,” she told Fox News. “Right now I just want to go to the places where I am getting the most love and Australia and South America have done that for me.”

But Miley is doing more than just touring abroad, she’s also withholding her music from her American fans — she released her cover, ‘Every Rose Has Its Thorn’ in Australia and currently has no plans to bring it home.

As of yet, Cyrus will not be touring her new album, ‘Can’t be Tamed,’ at all in the U.S. Her American fans will have to splurge on a plane and concert ticket to see Cyrus live this summer.

Miley only wants to go “to the places where I get the most love. Don’t want to go anywhere where I don’t feel completely comfortable with it,” she said.

So what’s got the pop star so jilted on her mother country? We’ve got no clue. Her family drama seems to be mending itself — dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, just called of his divorce from wife, Trish — and her U.S. records sales have been through the roof. How’s that for showing some American love?

As for her family: “My family is good. They are stoked for tour. As long as I’m happy they are happy.”

It sounds like everything is swell in the Cyrus household but what’s one family who won’t be sharing in the happiness? Cyrus’ American fans. Cyrus would rather struggle through her subpar Spanish in South America.

“I Speak zero Spanish,” she said. “I actually failed Spanish so I will have someone with me making sure I can get through my way.”

And if that weren’t amazing enough for someone totally unknown a few weeks ago, it was reported recently that the cast of Glee will pay homage to the YouTube sensation by performing the song on an upcoming episode of the show.

How did Rebecca celebrate? She came to The Grove Friday for a chit chat with Mario Lopez of Extra. Here are some pictures of her after the interview:

Darren Criss Dishes On Start Of His Career And His Future

Glee star Darren Criss graces the upcoming cover of  Billboard magazine.

The accompanying story talks about Criss’ start in musical theater, a possible solo album and the Glee tour. Here are some excerpts:

Why he started in musical theater:
“For me, it was Disney. I remember seeing people’s reaction to ‘Aladdin’ and thinking, ‘Oh, man, I want to be a genie when I grow up!’ Robin Williams is a pretty big character in San Francisco. I was like, ‘I want to do whatever that guy does. What does he do, Mom? He’s an actor? OK, I want to do that.'”

About a possible solo album with Sony music:
“We’re working on it – we’re really excited and it’s something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time. I’m so thrilled that it’s something that can happen because of ‘Glee,’ and like the Warblers album I hope I can do it justice and make it something that people can really enjoy.”

About playing at Staples Center:
“A year ago, I was so psyched that my first show in LA was at the Troubadour. Talk about so much for baby steps. It’s like, ‘Wait — Staples Center, are you kidding me?’ I was happy to drive around in a beat-up, crappy old van with my bandmates and just go to small clubs around the country.”

ABC confirmed today the long-heard rumors that All My Children and One Life to Live will both be cancelled shortly.

AMC will go off air September 2011 and OLTL January 2012. The network will replace the soaps with two new shows, The Chew and The Revolution.

ABC’s other soap, General Hospital, will not be affected by ABC’s daytime changes.

The cancellation of two powerhouse shows is course shocking news to fans of both since One Life to Live has been on air since 1968 and All My Children since 1970.

Disney/ABC Television President Brian Frons said in a statement: “We are taking this bold step to expand our business because viewers are looking for different types of programming these days. While we are excited about our new shows and the shift in our business, I can’t help but recognize how bittersweet the change is…Each of the shows has touched millions and millions of viewers and informed the social consciousness. It has been a privilege to work with the extraordinary teams who brought the residents of Pine Valley and Llanview to life each day, and we thank the cast, crew, producers and most especially the fans for their commitment to the shows through their history.”
