Anjelica Huston has matured, no small feat in Hollywood. Asked if she would ever resume her long-time relationship with Jack Nicholson, she said, “Frankly, at this point, no.

It’s because of the taxman, oh yeah, the ta-ax-man
George Harrison said in 1989 that “There won’t be a Beatles reunion as long as John Lennon is dead.” According to the New York Post, Harrison stands to make some $80 million from the reunion of his, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and tapes of the late Lennon in 1996 alone.
