Nicholson's Secret Son Scandal
"Departed" villain Jack Nicholson is denying new claims that he is the father of a physically and mentally handicapped son that he's kept a secret. A new unauthorized biography called "Five Easy Decades" by Dennis McDougal claims that the "cuckoo" star kept the kid a secret, but wacky Jack and his lawyer deny the rumors. Nicholson's lawyer told Page Six, "The allegations of the handicapped son are false and inaccurate," and also clarified that Nicholson does have four illegitimate children with several different women.
One reason for all the different baby mamas: Nicholson reportedly hates using condoms, and says using them is like wearing a "warm garbage bag." Sexy!
