Nicolas Cage 'enters art competition'

Nicolas Cage and his wife Alice have reportedly entered a spoof art competition.

The couple submitted a homemade sculpture to the Turnip Prize, in which people are asked to produce a work with the least amount of effort possible.

Entitled 'Knickerless Cage', the creation made by the actor and his partner is a collection of naked Barbie dolls wrapped in wire mesh, the Daily Express reports.

Turnip Prize organiser Trevor Prideaux commented: "This entry was left at my front door - someone knocked and walked away.

"When I looked out to see who it was, I saw a very attractive Oriental lady walking down my drive. When I asked her name, she replied Alice.

"After making some inquiries it turned out Alice is Nic Cage's partner."

One Show presenter Christine Bleakley has also reportedly entered a piece in the competition.

Prideaux said: "Christine is a keen fan of the competition and the work is poor enough to qualify."
