Weston Cage flies into a physical rage, hospitalized for mental evaluation

It certainly feels like we’re not getting enough insanity from celebrities lately, but (fortunately?) Nicolas Cage’s goth rockin’ son Weston has stepped up to the plate with a full helping of crazy. People provided the initial report that Weston entered into an altercation yesterday afternoon with “an unidentified person” that resulted in minor injuries and his subsequent hospitalization at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Then, TMZ stepped up to fill in some of the blanks, including the identity of the other party. Apparently, Weston was enjoying a late lunch with his physical trainer, who made the grave mistake of advising his client not to eat something on a restaurant menu. Naturally, the frustrated (and probably drugged up) young man proceeded to go all kung fu, which has resulted not only in his hospitalization but also a full mental evaluation and probable 5150:

Nic Cage’s son, Weston Cage, has been taken to the hospital by ambulance for a mental evaluation and possible 5150 psychiatric hold, sources tell TMZ.

Sources tell TMZ … Weston was at The Farmer’s Kitchen in Hollywood at around 4:00 today, when his trainer told him he couldn’t eat something on the menu. For some reason, we’re told Weston went off and started pushing the trainer in a violent way, at one point trying to roundhouse [kick] the trainer.

The trainer took Weston down, and someone else tried calming Nic’s son down, to no avail. Weston got up and continued freaking out.

Cops showed up and told Weston if he didn’t get on the ground they would tase him. Weston then complied. Cops put Weston in handcuffs but they were so worried he was unstable they strapped him to a gurney.

It’s unclear if Weston was under the influence of drugs or alcohol but people who work at the restaurant say he appeared to be under the influence of something.

Weston was taken to a local hospital where he is being evaluated.

One source says Weston got into a nuclear argument with his new wife, Nikki, this morning and she stormed out of their house.

UPDATE: Sources close to the Cage family tell TMZ Nic has arrived at the hospital. We’re told Nic has cleared his schedule and plans to stay in town as long as Weston needs him to be here.

Okay, I really shouldn’t say this, but that trainer wasn’t Tracy Anderson, right? Not that anyone deserves to be pushed and kicked for any reason at all, but her diet restrictions could send a normal person right off the edge in a ketosis-induced rage. However, it truly sounds like Weston might be under the influence of drugs or has just succombed to the Cage-brand of insanity.

Now and just as a cursory example of how Weston doesn’t fall too far from the crazy tree, let’s refresh our memories of just how much batsh*t crazy his father can summon on demand in this (very NSFW) video reel of Nicolas losing his sh*t for four full minutes. And I don’t believe for a moment that those performances are bred from pure talent either, for Nicolas himself is a famously drunk dumbass who recently dropped his own kid while he was totally hammered. So yeah, no question of paternity here, for Weston is totally his father’s son.
