An unauthorized biography of Jack Nicholson, titled ‘Five Easy Decades’ and releasing this October, claims that, in addition to the six children he is known to have, Jack also has a handicapped son who he has kept hidden.
The book claims,
“There are two other possibles whom those closest to Jack whisper about, including one young man who lives with handicaps brought on by his actress mother’s drug abuse . . . These are among the closely held secrets he has generally succeeded in keeping from his fans.”
For his part, Jack is denying this shocking claim. His lawyer, Abe Somer, tells Page Six,
“The allegations of the handicapped son are false and inaccurate. There is no handicapped son of Mr. Nicholson.” He declined to comment on McDougal’s allegation of a second unknown love child, adding, “Let’s respect his privacy.” Somer also said Nicholson has four, not five, illegitimate kids.
Author Dennis McDougal says his information “comes from a very good source, but she … would not let me use her name.”
Jack’s children were born as follows:
His first child, Jennifer, was born during his six-year marriage to actress Sandra Knight.
After a fling with his ‘Five Easy Pieces’ co-star, Susan Anspach, Jack had a son named Caleb in 1970. Caleb was later adopted by ‘Lost in Space’ star Mark Goddard, who married Anspach four years later.
Jack had a daughter with a former Monkey Bar waitress, Jennine Gourin, and according to McDougal, bought her silence with a settlement “rumored to be in the mid-six-figures.”
Lorraine, 16, and Raymond, 15, were born to Jack’s ex-girlfriend, actress Rebecca Broussard.
Jack has admitted to sleeping with lots and lots of women, once stating, “I’m interested in sex. I’m preoccupied with sex. I love it.” He also revealed his dislike for condoms, saying using them was like wearing a “warm garbage bag.”
Sarah Silverman regrets poking fun at Paris Hilton on the eve of her June jail stint after watching footage of the MTV Movie Awards. Silverman, who hosted the awards show, joked about Hilton’s prison term, while the hotel heiress sat awkwardly in the audience.
Cameras captured a hurt Hilton as she squirmed in her seat – just hours before she began her prison sentence for a probation violation at Century Regional Detention Center – and Silverman admits she has felt terrible ever since.
“I thought, ‘She’s got to know there’s going to be a joke about her,’ so I went for it.
But then I looked down and saw a man in her face with a camera. I was there to be funny and I was, but that doesn’t mean I can’t feel bad about it.”
A forgiving Hilton admits she knows Silverman was just trying to land a few laughs:
“She’s a funny comedienne and hopefully she won’t be as mean the next time she sees me.”
More than anything I just wanted to post the joke because it was so damn funny:
Update (Allie): I must admit, I look for reasons to post this video as well. I also like to bring attention to the look on Jack Nicholson’s face, cause it’s priceless!
I know Jack Nicholson is rich and has that whole dark sunglasses, you can’t handle the truth thing going on, but how can this be? The man is surrounded by beautiful young women on a boat in the South of France looking like he got bigger breast implants than Brooke Hogan.
The Dark Knight isn’t set to release until July 2008, but Warner Brothers has already begun their marketing campaign. We posted this picture not too long ago, but it was discovered to be a fake.
They launched a site called IBELIEVEINHARVEYDENT.COM, which is a fake site for one of the film’s characters. In addition to that, they have launched a second site from The Joker perspective, called IBELIEVEINHARVEYDENTTOO.COM. That website features a closer look at what Heath Ledger may look like in the movie.

UPDATE (Allie): Now this is seriously creepy!
In what seems to be a guerrilla campaign by Warner Bros., a comic book shop owner reports that they’ve found Joker cards, mysteriously planted all over the store. The cards say, “I Believe in Harvey Dent Too!”
It seems that this has now been verified by the emergence of another website, IBelieveinHarveyDentToo.com, which shows a version of the Harvey Dent campaign poster defaced by Joker graffiti.
The mini site also asks for an e-mail, which when entered shows a bloody message saying “Check Your Email. You Have 5 Minutes to Play.”
When you do, you’ll receive an email saying, “I always say, you never know what a man is truly made of until you peel the skin off his face one piece at a time.”
Looks like the Joker is very much at large and not happy with a certain DA.
I know that I’ve said this before, but I adored Jack Nicholson in this role. He is such an animated actor, with animated features, which made him perfect for the role. Heath Ledger’s version looks like it’s going to be terrifying. When I first saw the picture, it made me think of the horror movie, Saw.
The new Batman movie, The Dark Knight, is set for a July 2008 release date.
Synopsis: Batman and Gordon find alliance with a newly appointed DA Harvey Dent to stop a vicious killer with a warped sense of humor known only as The Joker, a threat to both the good, and the evil of Gotham City.
Here is the first reported picture of Heath Ledger as The Joker.
I fear a big let down… Jack Nicholson was the ultimate in this role.

The editors at Maxim have waded through the footage and nominated 10 Earth-Shattering Nude Scenes 2006.
10. Diora Baird in Wedding Crashers
It was kind of a “blink and you missed it” moment, but we’re betting there were a lot of dry eyes in the house when Diora flopped down topless on a bed during the “wedding sluts” montage. You remember her, she was the one with assets big enough to satisfy as many Wilson brothers as the movie was willing to throw at her.
9. Ali Larter in Varsity Blues
While not technically nude, Ali and her strategically-placed whipped cream instantly became the stuff of legend and dessert-based fetishes. Of course, leave it to Dawson’s Creek to fumble the play—dude, you’ll never get such a golden opportunity to offer a girl a banana for her split again. Way to go, forehead.
8. Heather Graham in Boogie Nights
Reason #4,562 why hanging out with Burt Reynolds rules: With the wave of a finger, he can make Heather Graham slip out of everything but her rollerskates and mount you on a fine Corinthian leather sofa. That’s class! And Heather’s anything but shy about showing the goods, which is why we love her.
7. Kathy Bates in About Schmidt
Kathy Bates and Jack Nicholson buck naked in a Jacuzzi. Now, if this were 1968…actually, it’d still be pretty gross. Yes, we’re kidding. Consider this a palate-cleanser before we move on to #6. We didn’t want you getting all hot and bothered at work. All set? Good. Let’s move on… [Editor's note: Disgusting. Photo omitted.]
6. Reese Witherspoon in Twilight
OK, this isn’t exactly a comedic romp and, honestly, the only thing notable about this movie is Reese’s topless scene. And the only thing notable about Reese’s topless scene is that, well, this is it, fellas. She’s a Serious Actressâ„¢ now, so she won’t be flaunting the sweater puppies ever again. Grab the opportunity while you can.
5. Denise Richards in Wild Things
Neve Campbell can keep her no-nudity clause, because even she couldn’t dampen our appreciation of Wild Things’ champagne-drenched threesome. Richards had no problem getting down and dirty, which is why we’re still talking about her today. Campbell? Not so much. And before you say Wild Things isn’t a comedy, we defy you to watch it without laughing.
4. Rebecca de Mornay in Risky Business
She was way too much woman for a high school kid to handle—especially a high school-aged Tom Cruise—but her full-frontal nude scene made a man out of every guy who was of appropriate age in 1983, and you know who you are. Not to mention Rebecca also made prostitution cool long before Julia Roberts.
3. The Pi Delta Pi Girls in Revenge of the Nerds
Yes, every last one of you. When the nerds get the brilliant idea to hook up surveillance cameras in the Pi sorority house, we’re treated to a parade of naked, perky extras. This one went for quality and quantity, and scored on both counts. And let’s just say Takashi wasn’t the only one who learned what “hair pie” meant.
2. Phoebe Cates in Fast Times at Ridgemont High
The standard against which teen movie nudity is measured. It may not be the most graphic or revealing, but it had all the key elements: A hot young actress you’ve been dying to see topless (erm, Phoebe), a completely gratuitous set-up (Judge Reinhold’s masturbatory day dream), and a hilarious pay-off (she walks in on him mid-jerk). It’s bulletproof, and it’s a classic.
1. Shannon Elizabeth in American Pie
A question for the ladies: If you find yourself in a teenage boy’s bedroom and he happens to leave the room for a second, do you immediately take off all your clothes and admire yourself in his mirror? No? Exactly. That’s why Nadia changed the way we look at movie nude scenes. And that’s why you aren’t Shannon Elizabeth. Well, that and probably some other things, too.
Now, you might have noticed, with the exception of the Ali Larter photo, none of those above actually depict the nude scene in question. Well, it isMaxim, you know.
Gone Hollywood goes above the call, though, and searches out the images in question. They’re thumbnailed below the fold. Merry Christmas.
Janice Dickinson wants to do dirty things to Angelina Jolie’s body:
The model, who rose to fame in the 1970s, has a long list of celebrity conquests to her name including Sylvester Stallone and Jack Nicholson. But now Janice has her sights set on Brad Pitt’s other half. Despite the fact that Angelina has three children – adoptive kids Maddox and Zahara, and tiny Shiloh Nouvel with Brad – Janice still wants to make the gorgeous actress an offer. Janice, 51, said: “She’s gorgeous. She could have my babies.†She added: “I’d do her in a heartbeat!†source
Yeah… she’s gorgeous. If I was a man, I’d have her poster up on my bedroom wall… I’ll admit it. [heh]
In her new book, Annie Leibovitz, our most famous photographer, places celebs side by side with surprisingly personal images of love and loss.
Take Leibovitz’s Jack Nicholson picture. Whenever she was busy setting up a shot inside his Mulholland Drive house, he’d disappear out back to drive golf balls–and that became the photograph.
Annie Leibovitz is tired and nursing a cold, and she’ s just flown back to New York on the red-eye from Los Angeles, where she spent two days shooting Angelina Jolie for Vogue.
Like so many of her photo sessions, there was nothing simple about it. “I talked with Angelina before the shoot,” says Leibovitz, who’s famous for her preparation. “She felt like she was coming back from having the baby and she felt very sexy and ready to go.” Jolie, a pilot, suggested shooting on an old airfield near the desert, with motorcycles and small planes among the props. (She flew herself to the location and the next day, Brad Pitt buzzed up in his plane.) They also spent a day shooting in the dunes near Death Valley, where the mercury hit 104, and the wind whipped so hard that everyone was peppered with sand. There were 50 people on the set, and racks of clothes from the New York spring collections to be tried and styled. It was as if Leibovitz were directing a small movie. Read More…
Expect Angelina Jolie to grace the November 2006 or December 2006 issue of Vogue.
My wife and I went to the 10:00 p.m. showing of “Superman Returns” last night. No real spoilers below for any who have seen any of the pre-release publicity but my review is hidden after the jump just in case.
Overall, it was an enjoyable movie but not one that lived up to the hype, let alone an eighteen year wait. It wasn’t nearly as good as most of the other superhero movies that have come out over the last few years.
Bryan Singer is an excellent director but his X-Men films were far superior to this one. The special effects were excellent, especially compared to the Christopher Reeve “Superman” films, but nothing special in comparison to the X-Men, Spiderman, and Fantastic Four movies. The plot moved very slowly, with long setups for a rather mundane story.
The premise of the movie is that our hero departed five years earlier to explore Krypton after its remains were discovered by astronomers. Yet, all we learn of that trip is that the planet was “a graveyard.” Why, then, was he gone five years? One would think a man who can fly at light speed could have explored a barren planet and returned home in time for dinner. No explanation is offered.
The Fortress of Solitude as crystals from Krypton angle, one of the most annoying aspects of the Reeve “Superman” series given its departure from the comics (although since woven into the two television adaptations) is central to the plot of this film. That the crystals can be easily removed by human hands and dumped into water — “like sea monkeys!” — with literally Earth shattering effect struck me as highly implausible. And Luthor’s motivations for a plan that would kill “billions,” including destroying the wealth of the Eastern Seaboard of the United States, were at best puzzling. How, exactly, he hoped to get rich with those people gone, especially living out on a barren Kryptonian-technology-laden island, was unexplained.
Singer is obviously a comic book fan and there were numerous clever homages to the genre throughout the movie. Not only did Brandon Routh look eerily like Reeve, especially in his Clark Kent guise–down to a 1970s haircut and outdated three piece suit and tie–but he worked in most of the standard cliches and even evoked the cover of Action Comics #1, where Superman made his debut.
Routh did a creditable turn as Superman and Clark Kent, although nothing spectacular. For my tastes, Reeve’s was the best “Superman” portrayal and Dean Cain’s (“Lois and Clark”) the best “Clark Kent.” (Tom Welling’s “Smallville” version is also compelling but a radical departure from the canon.)
Kate Bosworth was an excellent Lois Lane, portraying the role more powerfully than Margot Kidder. Mostly, I suspect, this is just a function of it being 2006, where a strong professional woman can be played effortlessly, vice 1978, where one had to introduce a campy “women’s libber” angle. She’s also, frankly, much better looking than Kidder, although perhaps no Teri Hatcher.
Kevin Spacey stole the show with his variation on Lex Luthor. His interpretation is much more theatrical than past versions, borrowing somewhat from Jack Nicholson’s Joker. He had several great lines and pulled off the role superbly. It’s been too long since I’ve seen the Gene Hackman version to compare them. It seems clear, though, that the Luthor role is the premier one in the Superman stable. Michael Rosenbaum’s portrayal in “Smallville” is probably my favorite, just in terms of showing the man’s brilliance and complexity, but it’s not fair to compare a 2-1/2 hour film with an episodic format.
Parker Posey was also quite funny in her portrayal of Kitty Kowalski, Luthor’s nitwit girl Friday. Like Valerie Perrine in the Reeve movies, though, one wondered why Luthor would consort with such an obviously stupid woman. Indeed, more so given Perrine’s rather obvious compensating qualities.
Overall, I’d say the movie is worth seeing in the theater but certainly not worth camping out overnight for. It’s a cultural event moreso than an ordinary movie, just because of the character’s staying power–now going on 70 years. If this were the debut of Superman, though, I don’t think he would catch on.
“There are two other possibles whom those closest to Jack whisper about, including one young man who lives with handicaps brought on by his actress mother’s drug abuse . . . These are among the closely held secrets he has generally succeeded in keeping from his fans.”
