Nicolas Cage Brought His Wife To The Red Carpet For His New Movie “Pig” And Announced His “Tiger King” Show Isn’t Happening
It’s a good thing Nicolas Cage was probably going to use his own wardrobe anyway for his portrayal of Joe Exotic in the series for Amazon that was announced last year. Variety reports that that project has been cancelled so Nic will just have to find another excuse to bust out the sequin blouses and leather fringe. Unfortunately they didn’t make an appearance at last night’s premiere of his latest movie Pig. Nic kept things shockingly demure when he and his 5th wife, 26-year-old Riko Shabata, made their red carpet debut as man and wife. I don’t know which is more shocking, that he dressed like a normie, or that he has managed to stay married for 4 whole months! He even washed and pressed his good rug for the occasion. It must be true love.
Open Post: Hosted By John Cameron Mitchell As Joe Exotic
Last March, right at the beginning of this cursed pandemic, everybody and their mother was, like, totally obsessed with Netflix’s Tiger King. Even though it featured tales of ghastly animal abuse. Hey, we were hard up! More than fifteen months later, NBC is shooting their adaptation of the docuseries in Australia. This is the TV series that stars John Cameron Mitchell as Joe Exotic, Kate McKinnon as Carole Baskin, Kyle MacLachlan as her husband Howard Baskin (not the dead one, the alive one), and Dean Winters as Jeff Lowe. And now Page Six has on-set pics of John in full Joe Exotic drag, smooching an unnamed male character in front of a pet shop. There doesn’t appear to be any meth in the scene they’re filming, but it’s safe to assume it’s there.
“Tiger King” Joe Exotic Thinks He’s Close To Getting A Presidential Pardon
Earlier this year, Tiger King‘s Joe Exotic was convicted for trying to have his rival Carole Baskin assassinated and for several wildlife violations. He was sentenced to 22 years in prison and now thinks that he’s about to be pardoned. But he also thought he could sue the government for millions of dollars while in jail, so… His lawyer, Eric Love, spoke with ABC News and apparently, Donald Trump could pardon Joe on his way out of office. Well, since the American government has been one long reality show, Trump freeing Joe Exotic would make for a fitting series finale.
Nicolas Cage Is Going To Play “Tiger King” Joe Exotic In A TV Series
Presumably because he works cheap and already has the wardrobe for it, Nicolas Cage will be starring as Tiger King’s Joe Exotic in an upcoming 8-part scripted television series. According to Variety, it will be Nic’s first-ever regular television role and he’ll also be acting as an executive producer. To me, this casting is a little too on the nose in that Nic has personally made nearly as many disastrous life choices as Joe, and it wouldn’t surprise me in the least if I heard Nic had a secret stash of tigers somewhere if I thought he could afford them.
Carole Baskin Denied Murdering Her Husband And Feeding Him To Tigers
The Tiger King docu-series on Netflix turned animal-trainer/criminal/homosexual anomaly of style/one-time HSOTD Joe Exotic into a star, but it also kicked up some dirt for central figure Carole Baskin. Joe is currently in prison for trying to have Carole killed over her big cat rescue efforts. Joe Exotic ran an animal park and Carole tried to get it shut down. So he tried paying an undercover FBI agent to kill her and got caught and convicted. From prison, Joe filed a $94 million lawsuit against the government for unjust persecution. Well, Joe isn’t the only one who thinks he’s being unjustly persecuted. Carole thinks she’s being unjustly persecuted by people who saw Tiger King and believe she killed her millionaire husband and fed him to her tigers. And while she may or may not have fed her husband to her tigers, she should feed that top to them.
Open Post: Hosted By “Tiger King’s” John Finlay And His New Teeth
If you haven’t been watching Netflix’s runaway hit docu-series, Tiger King (basically Dog the Bounty Hunter––but gay, and with big cats), you are missing out on a much-needed slice of delicious, leopard-printed Americana. John Finlay, the ex-husband of star, and self-proclaimed Tiger King/fallen HSOTD, Joe Exotic, wandered onto our screens (and into my heart) when the series debuted on March 20, blessing us with his southern-fried twang and his near toothless smile. And in that short time, he’s gone on to become a runaway sex symbol. Well, now some of that Netflix money has made its way into John’s mouth. The pages of GQ are just not ready.
