You don't know Jack
When Jack Nicholson's name comes up, so does a ready image: Arched eyebrows, wicked grin, flyaway hair, sly, nasal drawl. An admired screen icon who is also courtside at any Los Angeles Lakers game, usually with a much younger woman by his side.

Lucas Building Special Effects Campus
"Star Wars" creator George Lucas hopes a $300 million special effects campus for his film company will help San Francisco rival Hollywood as a producer of movie magic. "San Francisco's always had a quality of filmmaking that most people haven't been able to recognize, we always get shoved under the title 'Hollywood,'" Lucas said Saturday at the project's groundbreaking.
"I think this will begin to put a stake in the ground for San Francisco as a filmmaking community, as a creator of world cinema."

Tolkien Fans Mark Birthday Anniversary
"Lord of the Rings" fans worldwide celebrated what would have been the 111th birthday of J.R.R. Tolkien on Friday by raising a glass to the author.
The milestone holds special significance for devotees of the fantasy trilogy — Tolkien referred to it as an "eleventyfirst birthday ... a rather curious number and a very respectable age for a hobbit."
The opening installment of the trilogy, "The Fellowship of the Ring," begins with the "long-awaited party" held to celebrate the 111th birthday of hobbit Bilbo Baggins.
Tolkien himself did not make the grand age of his character, dying in Oxford on Jan. 3, 1973, aged 81.
