LILO TO SPEED THE PLOW,JUST LIKE MADONNA.



CELEBRITY QUOTE OF THE MOMENT: NICOLAS  CAGE.

A joke- I told a lady extra at the filming of National Treasure,during the Smithsonian Museum explanation scene.

Data Hard (Soothing Mock announcer tone): Nicolas Cage...is a National Treasure. Rated PG-13.

The Oscar winning actor (Leaving Las Vegas) walks by (without me knowing it) and hears me.

A equally, mock confused Ben Gates remarks-

Nicolas Cage: (with his famous shouting routine) PG-13!? I'M RATED R,BABY!!

Cage cracks up the whole set and smiles politely at us, with a bit a thumbs up.
