Nicholas Cage Buys a Pyramid Despite Financial Woes

Despite his being embroiled in debts because of lavish purchases, Nicholas Cage is in it again - he bought a 9 foot mausoleum shaped like a pyramid. Yes, like a pyramid, like a pyramid... as that Charice song goes. Nicholas has set this giant pyramid inside a cemetery in New Orleans to serve as his final resting place. Wow, he might just want to be treated like a Egyptian pharaoh?

Nicholas Cage is somewhat unpredictable with his extravagance - buying a crystal skull and a castle before. Now, this - while his Bel-Air home is foreclosed and it's on auction for $10.4 million. He's also facing a tax bill amounting to $5 million due to a mistake made by his financial adviser. Fellow actor Johnny Depp has vowed before to help him with financial woes. We're thinking - how will he pay for it?

Johnny Depp is People's Sexiest Man Alive 2009, Not Robert Pattinson

People magazine changed its mind. Because of the Robert Pattinson Sexiest Man Alive 2009 cover leak (or is it a fake one?), they chose the 46 year old Pirates of the Caribbean star Johnny Depp over the 23 year old Twilight hottie to become this year's top choice. Depp earned another feat for being this year's choice for People's Sexiest Man Alive because he's the first guy who won twice in the same decade.

Johnny Depp, who also won in 2003, now joins the ranks of Brad Pitt (1995 and 2000) and George Clooney (1997 and 2006) who have been two-time winners of this controversial title from People. This is quite a surprising win for Johnny because he's not very visible this and yet he's still accorded with the 2009 Sexiest Man Alive award. Is it because he's the current highest paid Hollywood actor for his almost $35 million pay in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides due to be shown on 2011? People magazine editor Julie Jordan admitted that they had a hard time deciding over Robert Pattinson and Johnny Depp - in the end, longevity in show business that mattered.

Johnny Depp Becomes Hollywood's Highest Paid Actor in Pirates 4

Since his co-stars Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom had begged off in doing Pirates of the Caribbean 4, Disney bosses jacked up his fee to $35.4 million (£21 million) just to get him to play Captain Jack Sparrow all over again. With this humongous fee, Johnny outgrossed all other Hollywood bigwigs like Mel Gibson, Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks and Brad Pitt on his payday windfall.

This $35.4 million fee is just the minimum actually because the Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides because the film is expected to be a huge box-office hit. If it will hit it big on 2011 when it is shown, Johnny Depp could receive more bonus. Penelope Cruz is set to play Johnny's leading lady for this film, while Geoffrey Rush retains his role as Captain Barbossa. Good luck, Johnny! May you be able to share your huge earnings to the less fortunate through your charities! Of course, you also vowed to help your friend Nicholas Cage to pay off his debt. That should do it!
