Lawsuits abound as well known Hollywood agency, Star Talent LLC, has recently come under fire after receiving numerous allegations of gassing actors on set to fit directors' needs and heighten performance. Plaintiffs include Hollywood B-Listers Willem Dafoe, Jack Nicholson, and longtime eccentric performer Nicolas Cage, who has spearheaded the movement against the company.


While being interviewed on the talk show for unemployed and wine tipsy moms, The View, Cage claimed that he was under the agency's control for almost a majority of his career, and had this to say about the abuse -- "It's like I've woken from a 30 year fog of having no clue who I was, believing that at any moment I could transform into a flaming, chain wielding skeleton. Ever since I came to Hollywood, my biggest dream was to become one of the greats, one of those brilliant, nuanced performers who always seemed to deliver such grounded characters, like Jim Carrey."


He recounts the history of abuse beginning on the set of Vampire's Kiss, claiming that his performance is what spawned a long filmography of kicking, screaming, and going on a psychotic killing spree, bringing him an avid fan base, but losing any and all recognition with the Academy and critic audiences. "They've ruined my entire career," said the actor as he wiped a tear on one of Whoopi's signature scarves. "I could have won an Oscar. I could have played Luke Cage, my dream role, but despite the fact I'm still as ripped and handsome as ever, apparently doing black face is now "uncool" and "racially insensitive". I mean, come on! You know, if it weren't for the disgusting actions of this company, I would still be married to Patricia Arquette. Constantly waking her up in the morning screaming that me and John Travolta had switched bodies really put a wedge between us. And she was, like, nice. Like, way better than my other ex-wives."


In regards to the other plaintiffs in the lawsuit, TMZ was able to catch up with Spider-Man director Sam Raimi in an L.A. hotel bathroom, giving him a chance to comment on Willem Dafoe's recent allegations against him. And despite him caught defecating in a DVD of Spider-Man 3, he was quick to deny the claims, stating -- "I have no idea what Willem is talking about. I have never been in any talks with Star Talent, nor was it my idea to stare into broken glass like an insane person for 45 minutes of the movie. That was all his idea. I mean, he played a literal chicken heart in a play once, so he probably gassed himself. I'd like to finish my dump now."


And although well known eccentric, Jack Nicholson has chosen to stay silent and communicate solely through his legal team, his Shining co-star Shelley Duvall has chimed in on the controversy, claiming the actions of Star Talent nearly cost her her life. By her reports, the classic "Here's Johnny" moment in the film was nothing less than a traumatic experience, the company allegedly injecting Nicholson with over 100 milligrams of methamphetamine, double the usual amount the actor took each morning to start the day. "There's not even an axe in the Stephen King novel," Duvall stated. "Jack just said he was a sexy little lumberjack and started swinging away at the bathroom door. We weren't even shooting the first time he did it, but Kubrick found his actions to be so "revolutionary", he just let it happen again and again so he could get his perfect, little film."


But the big question remains unanswered -- who and what is Star Talent LLC?


gorilla cinema has reached out for comment, however, after contacting the company's listed number only to find a frustrated Gary Busey pleading to stop calling on the other line, we decided to dig deeper. Our best unpaid intern was assigned to conduct detailed research on the company, and after 20 seconds on Ask Jeeves, he was able to locate their Los Angeles address on Linkedinks, a networking site for LinkedIn rejected business profiles. We sent Todd the intern down to investigate, but had since not heard back from him in several days -- until this morning, where rumors of him surfacing in the West Hollywood area have emerged. Todd, in a drug fueled rage, was found streaking down Sunset Boulevard after his mysterious visit to Star Talent, and has reportedly been cast to replace Jared Leto as The Joker in Suicide Squad 2: Her Sword Traps The Souls Of Its Victims.


Although these lawsuits are far from over, clearly this is an enterprise of intense mystery, acting only in the shadows of Hollywood's seedy underbelly, their sudden absence foretelling a significant decrease in psychotic performances until these strenuous legal battles can be resolved.
