The story is kind of obvious, but I found it interesting anyway. According to Star Magazine, Nicolas Cage’s marriage to Alice Kim is in shambles. This comes less than two months after his drunken rage in New Orleans, in which he ended up being arrested for public intoxication (repeat: in NOLA, which is super-difficult) and domestic abuse. Those charges were later dropped, and Alice claims he didn’t abuse her, they were just fighting in the street or wherever. Oh, and Nic drunkenly dropped his kid too. I remember that. Anyway, Alice and Nic were married in 2004, when she was either 19 or 20 years old. They have a son, Kal-El (no joke). And it’s looking like Alice thinks seven years is more than enough time spent with Nic’s shrunken-head-buying dumbass, and she wants out. Meanwhile, Nic’s partying at the Marmont like a Lohan. Hilarious (and sad, but mostly kind of funny).

When it comes to marriage, the third time is not a charm for Nicolas Cage. The twice-divorced actor appears on the verge of another split, this time from his wife of seven years, Alice Kim. After his arrest for domestic abuse following a drunken night in New Orleans, it looks like things are getting worse.

“Alice is sick of Nic’s extreme mood swings and violent temper tantrums,” says a source. “One moment he’s on top of the world, and the next he’s miserable to be around.”

Nic recently stayed at the celeb-friendly Chateau Marmont hotel in West Hollywood without Alice.

“Nic stayed at the Chateau for a week,” the insider tells Star. “he looked terrible – like a guy whose world is crashing down on him. Plus, he was in a foul mood and acted incredibly rude to the staff.”

Nic, who has a 5-year-old son, Kal-El, with Alice, won’t face charges over the Louisiana incident, but his marriage is definitely at a crossroads.

Says the source: “If Nic can’t pull himself together, he’s going to find himself single again pretty soon.”

Nic’s always been such a strange bird, but at this point, I’m wondering if this kind of behavior overall adds up to an actual chemical imbalance or psychological problem. Like, I’ve always thought that Nic was weird and eccentric, but now I’m thinking “Bipolar”.

So… I wouldn’t be surprised if Alice pulls the plug (so to speak). Seven years plus one son must equal a decent settlement plus a lot of alimony and child support, right? Oh, wait – if he still bankrupt? I wish Alice good luck in trying to divide up their assets, like those shrunken heads, the dinosaur bones and albino king cobras. And I wish Nic good luck in his continued trolling of the area high schools.
