Nicolas Cage files for divorce

Los Angeles – Actor Nicolas Cage has filed for divorce from Lisa Marie Presley less than four months after their romantic wedding in Hawaii.

The actor – filing under his real name, Nicolas Coppola – cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split in a petition filed Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court.

“I’m sad about this, but we shouldn’t have been married in the first place. It was a big mistake,” Presley said in a statement. Cage’s representatives said he declined to comment.

Presley, 34, was married previously to musician Danny Keough and pop singer Michael Jackson. It was the second marriage for Cage, 38, who divorced actress Patricia Arquette in 2000.

The two were married Aug. 10.

Crowe’s cold feat

New York – Russell Crowe could make a lot of people’s lists of the hottest celebrities, but an online film magazine calls him the coldest person in the entertainment world.

The “Gladiator” star tops Film Threat’s “Frigid 50,” an annual ranking designed to refute lists of Hollywood’s hot and powerful in magazines like Entertainment Weekly and Premiere.

Film Threat calls Crowe “our favorite wild boor, whose bad-boy big mouth and Redwood-sized chip-on-the-shoulder easily cost him an Oscar for ‘A Beautiful Mind.”‘

Among the 50 celebrities on the list are Winona Ryder, Cuba Gooding Jr., Richard Gere, Barbra Streisand and Anna Nicole Smith.

Klum, 29, who has appeared in Sports Illustrated magazine’s swimsuit issue, plans to continue modeling, acting and business ventures, said a statement released by Gruber. Pipino, 43, plans to continue working on new salons in Miami and New York.

Knoxville expresses sympathy

Knoxville, Tenn. – “Jackass” star Johnny Knoxville expressed sympathy to the family of a teen who died last week after falling from a truck in a stunt possibly inspired by the show.

“My heart goes out to the kid’s family, but we’ve done everything we can to prevent this type of thing from happening,” Knoxville said. “We don’t take submissions. We never have. We have warnings at the beginning and the end. In every interview I have ever given, I have stressed: ‘Don’t try this at home.’ We steer away from stunts that are easily imitable.”

Adam Ports, 18, of Wooster, Ohio, and three fellow students at Tiffin University set a chair on fire and threw it from the back of a moving truck while friends photographed the stunt. Officials said Ports either jumped or fell from the truck and died the next day from head injuries.
