Sex Secrets of Jack Nicholson

Rolling Stone Contributing Editor Erik Hedegaard got to sit on Jack Nicholson's toilet and gaze into Marlon Brando's yard during his interview with Nicholson for the current issue. For this and many other reasons discussed in further detail in the story (on stands Friday; it's the one with Jack's sparkling mug on the cover) our writer may never be the same.

• Jack calls the hours between two and four in the morning his "ass-scratching hours"
• Jack claims never to have bought a condom, but explains, "if I needed a porn picture or something like that, my staff normally does that kind of shopping for me."
• Jack can't remember the word "monogamous," presumably from lack of use in ... life
• Jack estimates that, in terms of age of sexual partners, he's "covered the territory from twenty-one to sixty-one" in the last year

Also in the issue: Contributing Editor Jenny Eliscu hangs with pop hermit Ray LaMontagne, we ponder the actual meaning behind the lyrics to Fergie's "London Bridge," and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wonders: "Will the Next Election Be Hacked?"

“Weird”

Hanson | 1997

Accomplished tunesmith Desmond Child co-wrote "Weird" with the three brothers that make up Hanson. Credited for dozens of cuts, including songs by Kiss, Cher, Bon Jovi and Aerosmith, Child told Rolling Stone that "Weird" holds a special place in his heart, "because it's about being different--and I grew up poor, I grew up being Latin, I grew up being gay, and now I'm fat!" The song was included on Hanson's 1997 album Middle of Nowhere, which sold more than ten million units.
