You want answers? We think you're entitled, as long as you can handle the truth from one of Hollywood's most charismatic stars. We made Jack Nicholson answer 10 Burning Questions about his new flick, about the Lakers, about younger women, about Schmidt and about seeing Kathy Bates naked. (Hey, the truth hurts.)

By the end of the weekend, we'll know who's going where and who's playing whom in college football's bowls. Thanks to Page 2's Eric Neel, we already know why teams want to play in these games. It's for the all the goodies in the gift bags. Here's the booty call, game by game.

Paris Is Learning Sportoon
Paris Hilton leads "A Simple Life," and Tuesday night's debut of her new reality series proves it. Clearly, she needs help with the complexities of rural Arkansas existence. Page 2's Dan Shanoff lends a hand.
All Tiger Woods wanted was a little privacy when he popped the question. Too bad the happy couple couldn't avoid the prying eyes of Sportoon, who was there at the Shamwari Game Reserve to see Tiger on bended knee.

THE DAILY QUICKIE
Now that Pudge Rodriguez is pondering an offer to stay with Luis Castillo and Mike Lowell, the Daily Quickie wonders what was up with the fuss about breaking up the Marlins. Plus, Carmelo's Way.


Oklahoma quarterback Jason White might not win the Heisman, but his stats (40 TD passes vs. six picks, 3,446 yards, etc.) this year are mighty impressive. Are they strong enough to make our list of the best college football single seasons of all time?.
10]  Nile Kinnick, Iowa (1939)
He was Iowa's iron man, accounting for 16 (five by run, 11 by pass) of Iowa's total of 19 TDs. Kinnick also punted, place-kicked, returned kicks and played all 60 minutes.
9]  Hugh Green, Pitt (1980)
One of those rare players who controlled games from the defensive line, Green finished second in the Heisman voting. With Green at end, nobody ran against Pitt's defense.
8]  Herschel Walker, Georgia (1981)
Walker's sophomore season (172 rushing yards per game, with 20 TDs) was actually better than his Heisman-winning junior year. His best game: 265 yards vs. Ole Miss.

Dumb, Dumber, Dumbest
Remember when your parents told you to work hard in school because dumb kids never amount to anything? They lied. Just ask Paris Hilton or Jessica Simpson or "Joe Millionaire" or any of Bill Callahan's Raiders.

The Writers' Bloc is a smart group, but our crew is embracing the "dumb" trend by answering these three questions: 1.) Who's the dumbest celebrity? 2.) What is the dumbest team in America? 3.) What's the dumbest thing you've ever done?
