Nicolas Cage's Career And Finances Tank

Nicolas Cage

The implosion of Nicolas Cage's acting career and finances, has been astounding to watch. Born Nicolas Kim Coppola, he was once one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, but is now relegated to doing B-List movies that have flopped, one after another. His latest film, The Sorcerer's Apprentice, flopped like nobody's business.

At the height of his fame and popularity, he had $300,000,000 in the bank and could command $15,000,000 per film. However, he became mentally unstable, after joining Kabbalah and squandered his money on frivolous and strange things that did not bear good returns.

His movie career has plummeted as well, with audiences giving his projects lukewarm receptions. His movies took on a weird and demented tone that audiences just didn't take to, but it reflects his diminished judgment and poor state of mind, to think audiences would warm to such weirdness. In short, he's lost his money and his mind.

After breaking up his family, Sony Music R&B singer, Alicia Keys, has moved in with producer, Swizz Beatz, real name, Kasseem Dean. According to the Real Estalker, the two have bought a multi-million dollar penthouse in Manhattan, whilst Keys put her Long Island, New York mansion on the market.

Keys, real name, Alicia Cook, is six months pregnant with Beatz's baby. The two plan to marry soon and decided to splurge on real estate, in spite of the fact he owes the U.S. Internal Revenue Service over $2,000,000 in unpaid taxes.

With Beatz in financial straits and making alimony and child support payments for three children, by three other women, one his ex-wife, Mashonda, it is clear Alicia has been footing the bill for their luxurious lifestyle.

Keys once remarked she is frugal and wishes to remain in a modest Queens, New York condo. However, shortly after, she plunged headfirst into lavish living, with two multi-million dollar properties in a row.

In other news, Alicia Keys, has dropped her manager of 10-years, Jeff Robinson of MBK Entertainment, in favor of having Beatz manage her, which can only lead to trouble under the circumstances.

Mashonda Believed In Alicia Keys, Before She Took Swizz

Date: 07/14/10 - "I believed her before," Mashonda says before admitting that she has given up on fighting Keys. "I'm being f******g disrespected, nobody respects me, this is my husband, this is my family, this girl thinks she can just do anything she thinks she wants to. And that's what I dealt with for a while, until I gave up."

..."I still like her songs. She's head over heels in love and I get it. Every woman deserves to feel that, not at the expense of another woman though," she tells VIBE. "But I understand why some of the decisions were made on her part, because her heart was so in it. I can't fight that [and] I can't fight her because she’s a household name. People are always going to love her for her music, as they should. She makes great music, but no one is really ever going to understand what happened in this house. Bottom line, the rule is, if you're messing with somebody, you don't know they're married, and you found out they're married if you come into any contact with that wife, leave it alone… respect the woman, respect the wife. Like I said before, it was an ego thing for me."
