Trick-or-treaters can now dress as Joe Exotic — otherwise known as the “Tiger King,” a self-described “gay, gun-carrying redneck with a mullet” — thanks to PETA.

With rumours circulating that Nicolas Cage is set to star as Joe Exotic in a new eight part scripted series on the Tiger King, there is one Scottish contender who thinks he would be perfect for the role.

Variety is reporting that Nicolas Cage is attached to play the role of Joe Exotic in a scripted series which will run for eight episodes produced by Imagine Television Studios and CBS Television Studios. The trade says that the series, which is set to be Cage’s first ever, will be based on the article “Joe Exotic: A Dark Journey Into the World of a Man Gone Wild,” by Leif Reigstad.

Diplo really found his spirit animal in Tiger King star Joe Exotic. The similarities between the two -- charismatic blondes guided by their passion for music and relentless pursuit of success -- are indeed real.It thus makes sense that Diplo is bummed that he wasn't tapped to play Joe in the upcoming scripted television show based on the seedy, bats--t crazy Tiger King saga, with the role instead going to Nicolas Cage.But this doesn't mean Diplo isn't tracking time on the big screen.

Ever since it was announced that Nicolas Cage will play the role of Tiger King’s Joe Exotic in an upcoming scripted series, fans have been flipping out. They think it a “brilliant” casting and couldn’t be more excited to watch the show. The actor will feature as the eccentric zookeeper, whose real name is Joseph Allen Maldonado-Passage, in an eight-episode series. This will mark Cage’s debut in the Television industry. The makers have not announced the title of the upcoming show yet.

Hey all you cool cats and kittens!

As the coronavirus quarantine continues, many of us have a lot more time to kill than usual. For Carole Baskin, she’s killing time by explaining, once again, that she definitely didn’t kill anybody.
