You guys remember Matt Davis, right? Our former news editor? Had blonde hair? British accent? Glasses? No? Okay, well anyway, I REMEMBER HIM, and am proud to say he's got a shared byline in this story on the Nicolas Cage "drunk and disorderly incident" I mentioned in GMN. To catch you up, Nic was busted by police in New Orleans (Matt's new home) where he got in a vicious drunken public row with his wife, after she tried to convince him from stumbling into the wrong house. From Matt's story in People:

"Apparently [Nic] had mistaken the house of my neighbors for the other house up the block that he is actually renting," [a neighbor] says. "His wife was trying to persuade him from disturbing the elderly couple who do in fact live in that house."

Cage is actually renting a house three doors down, according to Bennett. When cops arrived, the bartender says the actor started to get into the back passenger-side door of the police car.

"But the cop got out, walked around, and Cage ran a block south toward the river, where he tried to get into a cab," he says. "There was a woman outside with a baby in her arms shouting, 'Please don't hurt us.' "

BOOOO NICOLAS CAGE, THE BABY FRIGHTENER! (And yay, Matt! Good work.)
