Quick Summary

Nicolas Cage and his wife Riko Shibata attended a red carpet event for Cage’s movie "Madden" in Los Angeles on Wednesday night, despite Cage previously describing their living situation as "homeless" due to a sinkhole threatening their Malibu mansion since September. The $10.5 million beachfront home near the coast experienced significant erosion and heavy rain damage, causing parts of it to sink into a large hole that has expanded to encompass much of the property’s front area. Cage is currently living in hotels while city officials have approved emergency measures like sandbag installation to mitigate further coastal erosion and stabilize the house.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
