you don't want to fight darth vader? you want to join darth vader?e dark side, kneeled to darth vader. she's no dummy. [ applause ] she now goes by the name darth jennifer. someone else went over to the dark side this weekend. that was actor nicolas cage. nic cage was arrested late friday night in new orleans on a number of charges including domestic abuse, battery, disturbing the peace and public drunkedness. this is his mug shot, which is -- it lacks like he took it himself. how do we know this is nicolas cage and not john travolta disguised to look like nicolas cage? and how do we know nicolas cage isn't the dance doctor? apparently, nic and his wife were arguing loudly outside an a apartment building. he insisted it was their apartment. it wasn't their apartment. how drunk do you have to be to not know whether or not it is your house? or how rich do you have to be to not know whether it's your house? he also made a scene at a tattoo parlor. the last time nicolas cage got this drunk, he ended up naming his kid cowle. so maybe the weirdest part of

they're not evil people, not darth vaders. they try and talk about the union bosses -- look. our union bosses are police officers. the president of the fop is a full-time police officer in marion, ohio, so i think the public is seeing through this image they're trying to create for public workers and teachers and police officers and firefighters and a bunch of nonsense, all about politics and all about ruining the unions, getting rid of the unions and they think it's maybe a little bit of class warfare and i think the public sees through that. >> harold, how much money do you think you'll have to spend and how much money is the labor movement going to end up spending in ohio and in wisconsin? >> we are going to be investing very heavily, chuck. as you know, just at the federal level we spent over $2.7 million and the political arena. we will be investing very heavily in wisconsin as well as in ohio to move that referendum forward and to repeal those senators. our members are really coming to the table and we know how to commit significant resources to this kind of effort. if

he's the country singer with richie cunningham's face and darth vader's voice. ♪ the father and his holyon't go riding on that long black train ♪ >> jimmy: the voice doesn't fit the face. right? see, now, this voice coming out of him, to me, would make a lot more sense. ♪ there's victory in the lord i say ♪ ♪ victory in the lord hi oh! >> jimmy: sounds like he should sound like kermit, right? tomorrow night, one singer will be eliminated. i tell you, it's tough to get the boot right before the top ten because no one will remember you. we have enough trouble remembering who won. who won it last year? no, lee didn't win. did lee win? he did? i thought kris allen won. see, no one knows what the hell is going on. someone really needs to open an all-rejected "american idol" contestant singing waiter restaurant. where they sing, they come around. instead of sending people home, ryan seacrest could just give them his order. chantal, you're going home. could i get a salad? steven tyler didn't disappoint. in fact, it wouldn't be a wednesday without his gaze. it's time for steven tyler's creepy le
