Nicolas Cage clarifies: not actually homeless after La Costa flood Play

La Costa Beach flood victim Nicolas Cage is making it clear he is not homeless. Cage was widely quoted by the celebrity blogosphere this week saying he was "kind of homeless," after high surf wiped out access to his house last month, wrecking his driveway and tearing out his septic tank.

Cage says it was a misunderstanding. A reporter asked him what he was doing for Halloween, and he answered that he was sort of homeless — meaning his house was not available for trick-or-treaters. Internet commenters blasted him for being insensitive to homeless people.

Cage is apologizing. He stresses his family is fine: "We're not destitute. We're okay. I was just meaning that the house is not available for decorations and for candy to hand out to the children, which I like to do because I like Halloween."
