Dogs of war

GOSSIP. Nicolas Cage wants you to know he’s not the type of guy who goes around stealing chihuahuas. Us Magazine reported yesterday that Cage has filed suit in London’s High Court against his former “Peggy Sue Got Married” co-star, Kathleen Turner, who claimed in her recent autobiography that Cage was thrice arrested during filming.

“He caused so many problems,” Turner writes. “He was arrested twice for drunk-driving and, I think, once for stealing a dog. He’d  come across a chihuahua he liked and stuck it in his jacket.”
Cage issued a statement saying, “I have never been arrested for anything in my life, nor have I stolen a dog.”

A likely story. But the question remains: If a chihuahua did go missing, where is it now? Oh, wait, there it is — right next to Scarlett Johansson’s boobs on the cover of W magazine. Scarlett and “The Other Boleyn Girl” co-star Natalie Portman open up in the new issue about subjects such as “Who is sexier?” and “quesadillas.” But at no point is the issue of whether that chihuahua on the cover is in fact the same one Nic Cage allegedly stole in the ’80s addressed. Shame on you, W magazine.

Sister act
In stupid rich people news, Paris Hilton’s 18-year-old brother, Barron Hilton,was arrested early yesterday in Malibu for DUI. According to TMZ.com, the teen titan blew a .14 on his breathalizer test. The legal limit for Californians old enough to drink is .08. We’re guessing it’s somewhat lower for those under 21. The Web site also reported that a gas station attendant claimed that Hilton hit him with his car just before his arrest.
