Los Angeles Times • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Nicolas Cage revealed he is "a little bit homeless" after a massive sinkhole swallowed the driveway of his Malibu home, forcing him to live in hotels.
- The sinkhole, which opened on September 8, is 25 feet deep and 30 by 60 feet wide, blocking the only road in and out of the neighborhood and prompting evacuation orders for 31 homes.
- Malibu declared a local emergency due to the sinkhole, with seven homes red-tagged for hazardous conditions, and repair efforts are overseen by the homeowner’s association controlling the private roadway.
- Cage plans to celebrate Halloween by taking his daughter trick-or-treating in Santa Monica and watching the horror classic "The Shining," as he cannot host trick-or-treaters at his home.
- In October, Cage obtained four permits to begin repairing the damage caused by the sinkhole, which involves excavation, debris removal, and installing sandbags to prevent further coastal erosion.
