The new Jack Nicholson bio by Marc Eliot has all sorts of salacious details about the actor's life, though we'd expect no less from the legendary character. It seems that a ton of the dirt in "Nicholson: A Biography" focuses on his complicated love life, plus a fondness for tripping on acid and smoking marijuana, among other things.

To succeed as an actor, you need to run your career as a business, and a new website, YourActorMBA.com, aims to teach actors how—through an 11-week Web series."It's becoming more and more important that actors know about the business side of things to get a leg up and to show off their craft," said casting director Bonnie Gillespie, who co-created the program with actor Mitchell Fink and casting director Marci Liroff.

Each episode features industry guests—working actors, directors, writers, casting directors, producers, and agents—who talk about their experiences. The lineup so far includes director Mark Waters, actor Anna Vocino, agent Louise Ward, and actor-producer Mark Gantt."Never before has anybody pulled these many professionals together and gotten them in an involved setting, shot with multiple cameras, in a teaching format," said Fink.
