There's a fine line between having a few drinks to relax and enjoy yourself and getting totally bladdered and out of control!

The UK has a huge drink problem and while our pubs and bars aren't open 24/7 they are open all day as well as off licences (liquor stores) being open early to late and supermarkets selling cheap alcohol.

People drink for all sorts of reasons and sadly people that drink too much and end up alcoholics aren't drinking because they're happy.

and in the french Quarter in New Orleans just about everyone has drinks, its a big drinking area, so he just had too much and that happens to many people in new Orleans. bars are open 24 hours and people can take drinks to go from the bars there. everyone parties a lot in the french quarter. and i do hope that if he is having any issues that things get better soon for him.

Very well said Corelli. I hope that Nic knows that his fans do support him and believe in him.

Well said Sam.

None of us are perfect but unfortunaltely when Nicky, and other famous people, go through stressful times and meltdown it all gets blown out of proportion.

God only knows we all need love and support from friends in times like these and Nicky is no exception. The guy needs, and deserves, a break...look how hard he's been working on top of everything else...and we, as fans, should support him. Nicky already knows how much we all love him so I hope that is some consolation to him during this difficult time.

I agree with you Les. Everyone knows he's had the last two years from hell. Financially and personally. I've sat here and read many, many news stories about this morning events, and one that really surprises me is that someone had the nerve to complain about WHO BAILED HIM OUT OF JAIL. Whatever. Why should we care who gets him out of jail? Are you any better than him? God what has the world come to. I'm just glad he's out. He's probably by now hit rock bottom and needs prayer and support. And probably some sort of rehab if he's having probs with alcohol and temper. I only wish the best for him. I will still continue to be a fan. Get well soon, Nic. We love ya!

OMG what is happening to him? This is his THIRD drunken outburst in a few months.

There's more to all this than just Nicky getting in a drunken rage. I'm no expert but he obviously has some kind of personal problems that are stressing him out as well as his problems with the tax man and the death's of his father and grandmother. I hope he gets some help and gets better soon.

Nicky needs all our love and support through what is obviously a difficult time for him.

We love you unconditionally Nicky!

Nicolas Cage was arrested Saturday morning in New Orleans.

The actor, 47, who is filming a movie in the area, was taken into custody and charged with domestic abuse and disturbing the peace after an argument in the French Quarter with wife Alice Kim, according to the New Orleans Police Department.

"Cage and his wife were standing in front of a residence that he insisted was the property the couple was renting. She disagreed, and Cage grabbed her by the upper arm and pulled her to what he believed was the correct address. There were no visible signs of injury on his wife's arm," the NOPD said in a statement.

"The actor then began striking vehicles and later attempted to get into a taxi. At that point, an officer who had been flagged down by onlookers drove up on the couple, immediately observed that Cage was heavily intoxicated and ordered him out of the cab, which prompted Cage to start yelling. The officers subsequently took Cage to Central Lock-up."

Cage was released Saturday afternoon and is scheduled to appear in court on May 31.
