Actor Nicolas Cage’s Son Has Been Hospitalized For Mental Evaluation
Nic Cage’s son, Weston Cage, has been taken to the hospital by ambulance for a mental evaluation and a 5150 psychiatric hold.

Weston went off and started pushing the trainer in a violent way, at one point trying to roundhouse the trainer.

Harpo Studios, Inc. filed a notice in early-May alerting the Illinois Department of Employment Security that it would be laying off at least one-third of its current 400 full and part-time employees, though the company didn't specify the exact number of jobs it plans to eliminate. "Employees are being notified on a departmental basis whether their jobs will be eliminated," a Harpo spokeswoman says. "Most of those leaving us are doing so voluntarily to pursue other interests." About 50 employees decided to relocate with Oprah to the L.A. offices for OWN, leaving about 400 behind. But, we remember Oprah saying that the rest of the employees would remain in Chicago working on new shows, including Rosie O'Donnell's new talk show for OWN. According to the spokeswoman, the layoff process began on May 25. "All employees were made aware of this rightsizing months ago," the spokesperson says.
