Jack Nicholson reached out to ex Anjelica Huston when her home was threatened in LA wildfires
Jack Nicholson was ready to support his ex, Anjelica Huston, during the recent LA wildfires.
Huston revealed Nicholson reached out when she was evacuating from her home last month in a recent interview with The Guardian.
"I was in a car with three dogs, two cats, and the housekeeper, and he called and asked if I was all right, and if I had someplace I was staying," she told the outlet.
"That's the bottom line with he and I – when the chips are down, he's there," she said.
Huston's home survived, but it was a close call.
"My house almost burned down. It came very, very close. My electricity and water and power are still off, but we were safe," she said. The 73-year-old was able to flee to a ranch she owns – home to seven donkeys, six horses and numerous dogs and cats.
Nicholson and Huston were in an on-again-off-again relationship for 17 years, from 1973 to 1990, starring in three films together, "Prizzi's Honor," "The Last Tycoon" and "The Postman Always Rings Twice."
The actor was unfaithful throughout the relationship and things ended for good in 1990 when he fathered a child with another woman.
Looking back on their relationship, Huston said, "I loved him. I think in the world that I was living in, it wasn't disrespectful. It was how he was, and it wasn't so personal. I think as soon as I clocked that, it was all right, I knew how to protect myself. It didn't make me happy, but I knew what I was doing."
"I did what I wanted to do, and I did it with sureness," she continued. "If I wanted something, I knew how to go after it, so it wasn't as though anything was being done to me. I wasn't a wilting flower."
"That's the bottom line with he and I – when the chips are down, he's there."
Huston married sculptor Robert Graham in 1992, staying with him until his death in 2008.
Nicholson has a reported six children altogether: Jennifer Nicholson, 59, whom he shares with his first and only wife Sandra Knight, Caleb Goddard with Susan Anspach, Honey Hollman, 42, with model Winnie Hollman (though he has never formally acknowledged paternity), Lorraine and Ray Nicholson with actress Rebecca Broussard, and Tessa Gourin, who claims she is the actor's illegitimate daughter with Jennie Gourin, though he has never publicly addressed the claim.
The 87-year-old made his first public appearance in two years during the "SNL" 50th celebration special earlier this month, with his daughter Lorraine.
He was on hand to introduce Adam Sandler, with whom he starred in the 2003 film "Anger Management."
"Yeah, baby! Let's hear it for Jack, baby! Jack made it out tonight! Love you, brother," Sandler said from the mic.

JoJo Siwa's ex Kath Ebbs asks for space to 'heal in peace'
JoJo Siwa's ex Kath Ebbs wants to "heal in peace". Kath - who is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns - has responded to people "constantly" trolling them over their ex's newly confirmed romance with Chris Hughes, who she met during her time in the 'Celebrity Big Brother UK' house. In a series of posts on her Instagram Story, she wrote: "Last month was mental health month and this month is pride... "I wish people would put themselves in someone else's shoes for a moment before indulging in this kind of online toxicity. "Better yet to a person that literally did nothing wrong. I'm so sick of being gaslight over and over again by said people and the public. It needs to stop. "You don't need to choose sides, instead you could do me the courtesy of letting me in heal in peace." Kath, 27, urged their critics to "be obsessed with those that are screaming for attention", while pointing out they have "never asked for any of this". They wrote: "People constantly troll me and telling me to 'get over it' whilst simultaneously not getting over it themselves. "Go be obsessed with those that are screaming for the attention, they love it and they are build for it. "I'm not and never asked for any of this. My only crime was being in a committed loving relationship and then humiliated on a world stage. How does that make me a horrible person?" Kath said they are trying to "weather the storm", while insisting they don't owe anyone an explanation from their point of view. They continued: 'I've been working so hard to hold my own everyday through this. "Using the tools I have to weather the storm, stay sane and sit knowing I don't need to share the truth of it with the world because those that actually matter in REAL life know exactly what happened and that should be all that matters to me." Kath was in a relationship with JoJo when she entered the house, but their relationship ended at the 'Celebrity Big Brother' wrap party. Asked if their bond is platonic or romantic, JoJo paused for some time before she told The Guardian newspaper this week: 'It's not platonic any more, and it's been a beautiful development, a beautiful connection, and I'm absolutely head over heels for him and he's the same way.' JoJo dismissed speculation her relationship with Chris is a "PR stunt". She said: 'Clearly, you've never been around us. I won't ever speak for him, but for me personally, the happiness in my life just radiates off of me right now. Literally yesterday, I was massaging my cheeks; I've never [before] been in pain from smiling so much.'

Dakota Johnson's revealing dress derails 'Tonight Show 'interview: 'Does anyone have a blanket?'
Dakota Johnson could tell her revealing black mini-dress was going to be a problem from the very first moment she sat down on Monday's episode of The Tonight Show. 'Oh God,' the Materialists star exclaimed as she attempted to pull down the dress while also trying to keep its plunging neckline in place. When host Jimmy Fallon checked in to see if she was okay, Johnson promptly declared, 'This is the wrong outfit.' A laughing Fallon tried his best to show support for Johnson and her low-cut look. 'No, no. I think it's perfect, you look great,' he said. 'Just don't move.' Entertainment Weekly Johnson fully leaned into the absurdity of the situation, too. 'My eyes are up here,' she teased, leading a flustered Fallon to throw his head skyward. 'I can't even look there,' he confessed. 'I don't know what to do. I'm confused.' Fallon attempted to get their conversation back on track by reminding Johnson that the last time they saw each other was at the Saturday Night Live 50th Anniversary special in February, but the Madame Web actress remained fixated on her dress. 'Tell me if there's a problem,' she told Fallon about her outfit. In response, the SNL alum cast a wary eye toward her dress and, with one hand raised, noted, 'Right now, there's not a problem. There's almost a problem, but not quite — it's just… everything is going according to plan.' Johnson added that she'd also 'keep my posture real good' to prevent any potential wardrobe malfunctions before asking, 'Does anyone have like, a blanket I could wear? Just kidding.' With no blankets at the ready, Fallon instead offered Johnson a tissue that she quickly shoved into the front of her dress. 'That's perfect. No one will even know the difference!' he joked. 'You look great!' The host then noted that Johnson looked 'gorgeous' and that he didn't want to 'ruin your outfit' with his gag gift. When he offered to throw the tissue away for her, Johnson teased, 'You want to keep it?' Quick on his feet, Fallon fired that good energy right back at her. 'I'm putting this on eBay this evening!' He teased as Johnson laughed. 'You won't believe where this tissue's [been]! TMZ!' Johnson continued to adjust her dress and place a hand over her chest throughout the interview, which culminated in Fallon later gifting her a green sweater that her father, Don Johnson, once gave him. 'Like the Sisterhood of the…,' Johnson began, with Fallon finishing the sentence: '…The Traveling Cardigan, yes.' Johnson then dramatically threw the sweater across the front of her dress before relaxing deep into her seat and — now protected from any unwanted surprises — pretending to wipe the sweat from her brow. This isn't the first time that Johnson has expertly weathered an awkward outfit moment on a late-night TV show. She previously had to hold up her dress throughout her entire Jimmy Kimmel Live interview last June after its singular strap broke at the beginning of their chat. 'My dress just, it just fell off,' Johnson confessed at the time. 'Well, I'll just hold it.' Watch Johnson and Fallon have some big laughs over her little dress — and prank call some businesses — in the clip above. Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Considered Giving Their Kids Princess Diana's Surname — Find Out Why
Prince Archie of Sussex and Princess Lilibet of Sussex almost shared a surname with their late grandmother, Princess Diana. According to a story posted by The Guardian on Wednesday, June 4, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle considered changing their family name to Spencer, Lady Di's surname, while dealing with various issues preventing them from getting passports for their children. One source told the outlet that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex believed ongoing delays were attributed to the applications, which included the surname Sussex — the name the family of four had gone by publicly — as well as Archie and Lilibet's HRH (His/Her Royal Highness) titles. According to The Guardian, Harry, 40, reportedly wanted to keep his children's titles intact so that they could decide 'for themselves whether they want to become working royals, or stay out of public life' in the future. However, a source explained that King Charles 'hadn't wanted Archie and Lili to carry the titles, most of all the HRH.' (Harry announced he and Meghan, 43, would be stepping away as senior members of the royal family in 2020. The family of four now reside full-time in Montecito, California.) After being met with much resistance, the outlet reported that Harry contacted his Uncle Earl Spencer — the younger brother of Diana, who died following a 1997 car accident at the age of 36 — to discuss using the Spencer surname 'out of sheer exasperation.' Ultimately, the situation was resolved six months after the applications were filed — and, per the outlet, after the Sussexes lawyers got involved. Meghan raised eyebrows earlier this year when she corrected pal Mindy Kaling on an episode of her Netflix series, With Love, Meghan after the Office alum, 45, referred to her by her birth name. 'You keep saying Meghan Markle,' she told Kaling. 'You know I'm Sussex now.' 'You have kids and you go, 'No, I share my name with my children' and that feels so — I didn't know how meaningful it would be to me — but it just feels so much,' she continued of the name's significance. 'This is our family name, our little family name.'
