Nicolas Cage was spotted outside TMZ's headquarters on Friday, but he wasn't all that excited about being in such proximity -- attacking our photog after he approached!
After being asked about his creepy naked stalker, Cage lost it. After saying, "I'm a nice guy, this guy's invading my privacy," Nic grabbed the photographer's camera, twisted his arm, then grabbed the tape, ripped it and threw it in the trash! Nice guy indeed!
He was having a bad hair day, but c'mon!

Ya sure, Cage could have handled that better, but come on people... imagine having these freaks following you all the time! Everyday! You can't do anything without having a camera shoved in your face. Think about it. If it was you, you snap eventually too. I'm actaully surprized this kind of thing doesn't happen more often from celebs.

WAY TO GO Nicky!!!!
Nic knows decent people from the papps because when me and my hubby met Nic this July here in London when he was filming scenes for National Treasure 2 Nic asked my hubby if he wanted to take a pic of him!

I SAW NICK CAGE WHEN HE WAS IN CHICAGO FILMING WEATHERMAN AND LET ME TELL YOU HE WAS THE MOST IGNORANT STAR I HAVE EVER MET. HE WOULD NOT TAKE PHOTOS OR SIGN AUTOGRAPHS. I TOLD HIM OFF AND THEN HE JUMPED IN HIS CAR. WE ALSO LEFT AT THAT TIME AND ABOUT FIVE MINUTES DOWN THE ROAD HE JUM,PED IN ANOTHER CAR LIKE HE THOUGHT WE WERE STALKING HIM HE IS A REAL ASS. WE DON'T NEED SO CALLED STARS LIKE HIM FILMING IN OUR TOWN. STAY IN LA WITH THE REST OF THE FAKES.

Nicholas Cage apparently isn't willing to have your photog's up his azz, and it was absolutely hilarious that he ripped up your tape. (allegedly) Apparently you're accustomed to dealing with the kids (Britney etc) and not the adults, so take a lesson and realize that "grown-ups" aren't up for your "descend and surround" BS, and will actually do something about it besides cry and plead. Incidentally your little "wimp" photographer was PATHETIC with that, "he twisted my arm" routine. I would hate to go on national television looking like such a crybaby. Cudos to Nick.

It's about time, your camera man should have gotten his ass beat. What the celebs. need to do is to hire a full time camera crew and mess with your familys. How cool would it be if your teens were followed every day and your spouses can get caught on camera screwing around. How about sticking a camera in the face of your parents or grandparents as they were trying to drive away from you WANNABES .Oh yea Harvey someone told me you like to dress in drag. Is that true??????????????????????

If you approach a stranger and stick a camera in their face, don't be surprised if they break your camera. Just be glad they didn't break your face, especially if they've been stalked by deranged fans.
Personally, I'm glad to see a celebrity (especially a big one like Nicolas Cage) finally stand up against the stalkarazzi. Too bad more of them don't do the same thing.

Way to go Nic!!! At least you did it with a smile. Everyone is entitiled to some privacy - even " stars". Paps need to have a little common courtesty and respect. No one likes to be attached by a group of mad dogs. So.... bout time someone gave it back to them......

Ok, I think that it must be hard for people like Nicolas Cage to have papparazzi watching his e very move and he seemed to handle it well and even though he grabbed t ape he did it with class. BUT on the other hand, the law states that someone can take a picture of something(or someone) if they are outside in the public view. So its a touchy topic. I don;t balme him for not wanting to answer the guys question though. I am sure that it was awful to have an intruder in his home like that and i give Kudos to Nicolas for being brave enough to have handled that intruder and still be able to live a normal life like walking around outside on his cell phone like in this video. Good for him! As far as Nicolas Cage signing autographs and such, i have heard both, that sometimes he does and other times he won't. I guess it depends on what day it is or something. I have heard that he is a nice person. He does have a right to privacy and respect. I love watching him in movies, he's a great actor! Up and coming actors can learn a lot from watching his films. I hope to see him in more movies in the upcoming years and maybe some independent films or art type films. That would be great.
