Celebrity Scandal!
Bounty hunter Duane Dog Chapman bailed out Nic Cage from jail in NOLA?
[Apr. 16]
Free press… get your free press here! Of all the people to post bond for actor Nicolas Cage after his arrest for domestic violence and disturbing the peace in New Orleans yesterday, reality television star Dog the Bounty Hunter (a.k.a. Duane Chapman) stepped up to the plate, says TMZ. Bounty Hunter is a big title for Dog, as few people know he is really just a little guy who stands about 5’7″ tall (we suspect in boot lifts). When the Bounty Hunter show first aired Chapman on TV, The Bounty Hunter became a fun hit television series to watch on A&E.
Duane was only just plain Jane “Duane Chapman” before he became the Watch Dog. In every episode of his television series, Duane ‘Dog’ Chapman hypes not only the criminals antics prior to arrest but also offers offenders a chance at redemption. [Many times with coaxing to turn away from the dark side by both he and his amply stacked persuasive wife Beth.
Movie actor Nicolas Cage, who was being held on $11,000 bond, was picked up by Dog after the star landed himself in jail for refusing to go inside when New Orleans police asked him to voluntarily enter the building. Instead, the actor and the star of, fittingly, Con Air among many other films, told the police to arrest him. He again was asked to go inside, but refused. Officers then arrested Cage, who they said had been drinking at the time.
According to TMZ, Dog’s wife Beth Chapman and co-star on his reality show, Dog the Bounty Hunter, more-or-less confirmed the Nicholas Cage bail out pick-up by way of a tweet: “My guy just walked out of the jail damn new Orleans 8 hours holy cow that’s a lot of time to Process one guy.”
Both the reality television series and Nicolas Cage will get plenty of free press over this rumor if it proves to be true.
[Nicolas Cage is bankrupt and his movie career has been failing since the famous actor had a botched plastic surgery that left his face look — for lack of a better term — slick, skeletal, and scary. So okay, there is more than one term that can are easily be applied to the star celeb’s new plastic look. God bless adjectives and the English language vocabulary.]
Radar Online reports:
Working through a local New Orleans company — Blair’s Bail Bonds — Beth & Dog’s company “wrote” the bond of $11,000 that got Cage sprung just after noon.
Lucky Nic Cage. Who knew he had such friends in high places? Yeah, right. One star bailed out by a couple of reality television superstars. Go figure. Maybe it was the celebrity status of both the inmate and the bondsman that took them eight hours to spring Nic Cage just after noon.

Nicolas Cage (or Nic Cage as many know him) is a supporter of Amnesty International, Oceana, and the Screen Actors Guild Foundation. Duane Chapman (a.k.a. Dog Chapman) is not quite a green celebrity, but he has worked closely with conservative black organizations BOND and CORE and did host two toy giveaway charity events after criticism for using a racial slur.
