I think everyone has had a relationship with a confirmed bachelor, the one who will never, ever get married, but still manages to string you along for a year before moving onto his next girlfriend, despite how sure you were you could change him. It’s why the Mr. Big character in Sex and the City has such appeal. But while Big and Carrie may wind up together (no, I haven’t seen the film, that’s just what I think will happen), in real life usually the guy just keeps on with his bachelor ways.

Case in point: Jack Nicholson is now 71, and still looking for a girlfriend.

Standing in the shower before the Tokyo premiere of his movie “The Bucket List,” Jack Nicholson contemplated his own “bucket list” of last great goals, the three-time Oscar winner said on Wednesday.

Easing tensions between the West and Islam would be a political goal, the actor said, but it was having “one last big love” that topped his list.

“Many of my friends, my own contemporaries, have said in their life that they would like one last big romance to occur, so that would be on my list also,” the 71-year-old performer said.

“I thought in the shower today (that) it’d been many political things I’d like, but of course I’m not in control of that.”

Jack has been married once, and has five kids, but I think 40 years of dating (he divorced his only wife in 1968) puts him in the bachelor category. He doesn’t say that he’s looking for a wife, but just romance. I assume that’s the kind of line he feeds the ladies. All 2,000 of them he claims to have bedded.

Is this the future for Hollywood’s other confirmed bachelors? Will we see George Clooney in 30 years, with a big paunch and still looking for a piece of ass?

Jack Nicholson was photographed at the beach with his family in St. Barts yesterday. The Daily Mail says that he’s surrounded by “a bevy of bikini-clad beauties,” but the photo agency says he’s with his family. He has a 26 year-old and a 17 year-old daughter and that might be one or both of them with him.

According to Wikipedia, 70 year-old Nicholson has five children by four different women and was married once in the 1960s.

Nicholson looks like he’s having a grand time on the beach and like he doesn’t give a shit that he’s got a paunch. People age and gain weight, and Hollywood is much more forgiving of old male codgers like Jack than old female codgers like Shirley MacLaine.

Nicholson is campaigning for maybe-doomed Presidential candidate Hilary Clinton. Earlier this month he approved a video endorsement of Clinton featuring clips from his films with themes of leadership like his character’s statement in 1992s A Few Good Men that “There’s nothing sexier than having to salute a woman in the morning.” Clinton’s approval rating has hit a new low following a scandal in which she was exposed as having embellished a 1996 trip to war torn Bosnia. She claimed multiple times to have been under sniper fire and running to a waiting car during that visit, when video shows her chatting with soldiers and children on the tarmac.

Now back to Jack Nicholson, whose statement that he slept with over 2,000 women is also most likely an embellishment. He would probably have more than just five kids if that were true, but in this case it’s hard to prove he’s fibbing.

I don’t like to give Jack Nicholson too much coverage – I don’t care what anyone says, I can’t stand him. He just seems really smarmy, and every time he gives his trademark sneer I want to punch him in the ear. With that said, it seems I have a little more evidence in my “Jack Nicholson is a total wang” argument – he claims he may have fathered as many as 9,000 children. What a potent seed you must have, sir.

Randy Jack Nicholson reckons he could have as many as nine thousand kids. The legendary Lothario has four acknowledged offspring by three women. But Shining star Jack said: “There could be 9,000 for all I know – I used to live so freely.”

Jack, 70 – whose exes include actress Anjelica Houston [sic]– admits calming down with age. He said: “You can’t get too wild these days but I’m as wild as you can get.”

A source said: “He loves women – it’s as simple as that.”

Excuse me while I run to the bathroom. I get that he’s being glib when he says he may have 9,000 kids, but it sounds like he’s bragging. And I don’t think potentially fathering a lot of kids that you don’t even know about is something to feel proud of. Even if his boast is more about how many women he’s slept with – he’s still boasting that he’s slept with them in an irresponsible way that could have left them alone with a kid. I’m sure my revulsion to his comments is influenced by my dislike of him in general, but somehow I find calling that behavior “living freely” really selfish.

Of course there is always the good news that Anjelica Huston beat the crap out of him. That image tends to calm me down a little.

Picture note by Celebitchy: Jack Nicholson is shown getting up close and personal with Sally Kellerman, yes Sally Kellerman at Fashion Week on 3/22/06. Apparently she was picking something from his teeth. Here’s a picture of Kellerman since I was curious what she looks like now. She has no connection to Nicholson that I could find apart from attending the Actor’s Studio with him, I just thought these pictures were cute and wanted to show one of her face.

Jack Nicholson is one of those actors whose appeal I’ve never been able to understand. I think it’s the eyebrows – he has very evil eyebrows. And the sneer. Regardless, the rest of the world seems to think he’s awesome, with the exception of Anjelica Huston. The two were together for fifteen years, until Jack cheated on her in 1989 with actress Rebecca Broussard – who he got pregnant.

I was in a quandary,” Jack quietly explains to PARADE’s Dotson Rader. “I knew having a child was a boon to my life, but I was in a wonderful relationship with Anjelica. It was as good as it gets. I immediately told her what was up, and she made the decision for us.” The public presumed that Nicholson had dumped Huston for Broussard, a younger woman. The truth is the opposite. “Anjelica’s first response was, ‘You have to support this woman,’ ” Nicholson says. “Her second response was to come down to my job and beat the hell out of me. She really beat me up, I tell you. Anjelica can punch! Meanwhile, Rebecca didn’t want me to separate from Anjelica. Well, they both have good taste,” he says laughing.

It takes a pretty big man to admit he got beaten up by a woman. Not that I blame her. Physical violence I never okay, but I can understand the anger. Aside from beating the crap out of Jack, it sounds like Huston handled that news in a fairly mature way – she told him to leave and support the mother of his child. Not a lot of women could be so big. Can’t blame her for wanting to hit, though.

Jack also gave an interesting analysis of women. It’s either nonsensical or over my head.

“These issues between men and women are not psychological. Look, remember what a gland is. Most of these are glandular issues. A gland is what allows that mother to lift that truck off a child. Whatever intelligent design is, it’s not going to leave the continuation of the human species up to fashion-crazy, flitting mentalities. It’s in those glands. The infatuation cycle of 18 months hasn’t changed a lot since the monkeys. Look at the numbers. Eighteen months is nine months doubled. A woman’s entire system is set so that when you’re having that procreative act with a woman, you’re dealing with a being whose actual cycle is nine months. It doesn’t have to do with her brain. It has to do with her entire bodily system, which is there to overcome the brain. We don’t legislate this stuff. We don’t out-think it. You cannot change these fundamental things that we are as human beings–but you can adjust to it.”

Okay… I’m kind of confused about my glands right now. I wonder what glands Jack is referring to. I have strep throat right now and my lymph glands are swollen – do you think that could factor into my ability to lift a truck off a child right now, if I needed to? Would that make it easier or harder? I’m confused. I was trying to figure out what the hell Jack was talking about, and if he literally meant glands or was using it for some kind of a metaphor that I just can’t understand because it’s three in the morning. Based on the gland thing, Jack Nicholson is either a total moron or incredibly profound.

The mother of Jack Nicholson’s two youngest children, his ex girlfriend Rebecca Broussard, was arrested for DUI on August 26 after causing a four car crash near the LA airport. Thankfully no one was killed, but 13 people were injured and Broussard was arrested.

Now there’s news that not only did Broussard cause a multi-car accident, she also burned down a boat she owned with her sailor husband that same night! The damage to the $400,000 boat, which is totaled like her $80,000 car, was an accident caused by some candles she left burning.

Given Broussard’s problems, Nicholson wants to take over as primary caregiver for his two children with her, Lorraine, 17, and Raymond, 15, and is prepared to if Broussard ends up going to rehab long term. It sounds like Nicholson is just considering it, and is not yet fighting for his kids in court or we would know about it.

Jack Nicholson is more determined than ever to take his two youngest children away from ex-girlfriend Rebecca Broussard after learning she was involved in the torching of a $400,000 boat the same night she crashed her car and was arrested for drunk driving.

“Jack is steaming mad,” a friend told The Enquirer.

The Enquirer reported last week that 44 year-old Rebecca was arrested Aug. 26 following a four-car crash she caused near the Los Angeles International Airport. Thirteen people were injured in the accident, and Rebecca - who has a history of alcohol abuse - was arrested and booked on suspicion of felony DUI. After being held overnight in jail, she posted bail and was released the next morning.

Now, more incredibly details have surfaced from the horrific night - increasing Jack’s resolve to gain full custody of Lorraine, 17, and Raymond, 15, his children with Rebecca.

The Enquirer has uncovered that Rebecca may have been partially responsible for burning down a 57-foot wooden sailboat the same night she caused the car crash…

Rebecca and Dennis [her husband] left candles burning [on the boat] when they left. When they were out, Rebecca crashed the car, ended up in jail and Dennis had to go to the hospital…

“Jack knows that Rebecca might avoid jail time by agreeing to a long-term alcohol rehab - but he’s prepared to step in and take care of the kids.”

That’s good of him to want to take care of his teenagers, even though the new husband of his ex could probably do it if she needs to go to rehab. Hopefully she will clean up her act and get her life straightened up for her family’s sake.

Jack Nicholson has five acknowledged children by four different women and was married once, according to Wikipedia. He is also said to have slept with 2,000 women, which I’ve already mentioned but couldn’t resist slipping in there.

Jack Nicholson is pretty hot for a 70 year-old guy. I don’t care if he’s not all buff like Jack LaLanne (who is 93 this month by the way) there’s something sexy about his attitude, and unflattering pictures like these don’t deter me. Before I looked up his age I was under the impression he was under 60, and maybe I’m blinded by lust, but the guy is charismatic. Those eyebrows just do it for me.

So it’s kind of amusing and a little sexy to hear that Nicholson once spent three months in the nude. A new biography that’s coming out about him called “Five Easy Decades” claims he was so “obsessed with nudity” in the early 70s that he even refused to put on clothes for interviews promoting a movie he had out at the time.

When I heard that I was still under the impression that he was younger and thought “Oh he must have been in his 20s,” but he was actually in his late 30s in the early 70s so that is much more eccentric than a lot of drugs and youth can excuse. There were a lot of drugs involved though of course, Nicholson was said to be a pothead who tried to get fellow actor Larry Hagman to enjoy the herb with him.

“The book reports that in the early 70s, Jack became obsessed with nudity. He even sat buck naked for interviews for the movie ‘Drive, He Said,’” a publishing source told The Enquirer.

“The previous summer he had lived for three months as a nudist at his home - refusing to wear clothes even for producer Roger Corman.”

The bombshell bio by author Dennis McDougal - to be published in October - also says Jack turned hard-drinking buddy Larry Hagman on to marijuana.

Nicholson and Hagman were in Mexico in 1964 filming “Ensign Pulver.”

“Jack was smoking weed, and when he saw Larry knocking back pina coladas, he suggested something better,” said the publishing source.

“‘Hag, you drink too much,’ he told him. Larry - who eventually lost his liver to alcohol - didn’t think so, but Jack persisted, scored some Acapulco gold and ‘pulverized’ Hagman and the rest of the cast.”

And in other recent Jack Nicholson news, he described a scene at journalist Hunter S Thompson’s house when he got spooked by Thompson waving a gun around and jumped out a window. He said “One of the first times I met him, he pulled out a gun in the middle of a house. Me and a friend of mine jumped out the window.” [Holymoly.co.uk]

I wonder if he was just paranoid from all the weed and if he tucked it before he went out the window.

There’s also another claim in that upcoming biography that Nicholson is hiding a handicapped son, a story he denies. According to Wikipedia, he has five children by four different women, and is reported to have slept with 2,000 different women.

From The National Enquirer’s Mike Walker comes the story of an hilarious prank Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio played on player Jack Nicholson. Nicholson was in the hospital to get his salivary glands checked out and they posed as masked interns trying to give him a rectal exam!

That’s a great story that would have been made better by news of an accompany Punk’d video, but I’ll have settle for a mental image.

Matt, Leo and Jack star in Martin Scorsese’s “The Departed,” which according to Pajiba is a well-crafted and compelling crime drama with an amazing cast.

All I need to know is that Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio are in it. Mark Wahlberg is just an added bonus.

Here’s the trailer on YouTube.

And here are some pictures from the film, courtesy of All Movie Photo.

Jack Nicholson and a normal-looking Lara Flynn Boyle were photographed on holiday together in Saint Tropez.

Now I had conveniently forgotten that Lara Flyn Boyle also dated David Spade, but Jack Nicholson was definitely a move up for her at the time.

Now that Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock also reunited in Saint Tropez - and are getting married - exes around the world are going to flock to the French Riveria to get back that certain spark that cheating and fighting put out the last time around.
