Nicolas Cage sued his former business manager for $20 million yesterday, claiming bad advice and mismanagement led him toward financial ruin.

Cage filed the lawsuit against Samuel J. Levin and his firm.

Levin served as Cage's business manager from 2001 to 2008 and collected millions of dollars in management fees, court documents state.

Cage, 45, relied on Levin's statements and advice and couldn't have known about the financial trouble he was facing until after he hired new management, according to the lawsuit.

ANOTHER YEAR ADDED TO LOHAN PROBATION

A Beverly Hills judge yesterday extended Lindsay Lohan's probation for a year in connection with a 2007 drunken-driving case.

The judge made the decision to extend probation after learning that Lohan had not completed required treatment programs because she was filming a movie out of state. Lohan's attorney said the filming is done and that she can finish the programs.

The court appearance stems from a 2007 incident in which she crashed her car in Beverly Hills and was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence.

JON GOSSELIN TARGET OF TLC LAWSUIT

The TLC network has sued Jon Gosselin for allegedly breaching his contract as a star of the hit reality show "Jon & Kate Plus 8."

The lawsuit, filed yesterday in the Circuit Court of Montgomery County, Md., alleges that Gosselin has failed to meet his obligations as an exclusive employee of the network, while appearing on rival networks' programs for pay and making unauthorized public disclosures about the show.

The suit is seeking from Gosselin unspecified compensatory damages and demanding he return income gained as a result of his alleged breaches of the agreement, as well as to refrain from future violations.

TYSON, HOLYFIELD GRACIOUS ON 'OPRAH'

Mutual praise and admiration dominated during a face-to-face meeting yesterday between former world champion boxers Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield on a live episode of "The Oprah Winfrey Show."

On June 28, 1997, Tyson was disqualified after biting off part of Holyfield's right ear during their WBA heavyweight title fight in Las Vegas.

A respectful Tyson shook hands with his former rival several times during their encounter — which he said was his first chance to speak at length with Holyfield since the ear chomp that made worldwide headlines.
