Nicolas Cage as You've Never Seen Him: as a Snow Monkey
By David Moye - AOL News(Sept. 8) -- Celebrity culture might be low-brow, but that doesn't mean it hasn't influenced the high art world.

When I told our ace executive producer Michael Kraskin how excited I was about the awesome diversity of this all-girl group, he said, 'How 80s of you.' (Dude, you have no idea.)
