Jack Nicholson thinks about sky burial

At 72 years old, Jack Nicholson has been thinking about his funeral and is considering a number of different burials, including a sky burial. Jack is considering being picked to death by vultures when he dies. Jack became fascinated with the traditional sky burials carried out by some Native Americans which involve the deceased's body being hung from a tree or wooden scaffold and being left for scavengers.
He told German TV channel Tele 5: "I've had several ideas. Once I thought it would be nice to be buried under a large statue that is at least ten metres high. Then I liked the nature of the Indians who haul their bodies up into the trees so that they are eaten by the birds."

Although Nicholson is undecided about the fate of his remains, one thing he is certain about is he does not want to be laid to rest in a coffin.He said: "I will probably end up in a crematorium as I'm too claustrophobic for a coffin."

Even though he's been thinking about his funeral, Nicholson insists he isn't scared of death and feels as though he has achieved everything he wanted to in his life. Jack, - who starred in 'The Bucket List' with Morgan Freeman, about two terminally ill patients who escape from a cancer ward to fulfil their remaining life ambitions - said: "I remember a wonderful conversation I once had with my fellow actor John Gielgud. He said he had made a schedule with things he would like to do before he dies... travel the entire world, learn how to cook, but he found that nothing was as appealing as acting. I agreed with him."

Native Americans would have sky burials because they believe after death the souls of the dead lingered in the air and watched over the tribe until it was time for their soul to move on to the afterlife. By raising the bodies up high the belief was the soul could exit its' mortal constraints faster.

Photos: Hope For Haiti benefit

Jack Nicholson gave his support to the Hope For Haiti Now: A Global Benefit For Earthquake Relief telethon on January 22, 2010 in Los Angeles, California. Jack was there amongst many other stars, e.g. George Clooney, Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, Mel Gibson, Mark Wahlberg, Justin Timberlake etc.

Hope for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief was a charity telethon held on January 22, 2010 from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (January 23, 2010 from 1 a.m. to 3 a.m. UTC). The telethon was the most widely distributed telethon in history. The event was broadcast from Studio 36 at the CBS Television City, Los Angeles, from the Kaufman Astoria Studios in Queens, New York and from the private club The Hospital in London. There were also live reports from Haiti.

Creation of the telethon was announced by MTV Networks in the United States on January 15, 2010, three days after the 2010 Haiti earthquake struck on January 12 and claimed the lives of at least 70,000 people. The event was one of a number of humanitarian responses to the earthquake. Processing of the telethon's donations was in the hands of the Entertainment Industry Foundation.

Funds raised by the telethon and from the sale of its album and video – immediately made available for pre-order on iTunes – are to be distributed to seven non-profit organizations doing relief work in Haiti.
On January 23, it was reported that the telethon had raised over US$ 57 million, not including corporate and large private donors or sales of the album and video. The amount is a record for donations by the general public to a telethon for disaster-relief.

If you still want to donate, you can do so on the official website for this benefit: hopeforhaitinow.org

New Jersey Hall of Fame welcomes Jack Nicholson

The class of 2010 in the New Jersey's Hall of Fame announced Thursday, includes Jack Nicholson amongst his colleague Danny DeVito, musicians Les Paul and Count Basie, authors Philip Roth and Judy Blume, former President Woodrow Wilson, Olympian Carl Lewis, architect Michael Graves and former Supreme Court Justice William Brennan.

Gov.-elect Chris Christie introduced the new class at a Thursday afternoon news conference at the State Museum in Trenton. Christie said he hoped things like the Hall of Fame would help promote a more positive image for New Jersey.

This is the third class to be elected into the hall, which was created in 2005 and, for now, exists as a virtual museum on the Web. Three other states have stand-alone halls of fame: California, South Carolina and South Dakota. A few other states have smaller exhibits in their state capitols.

The winners were chosen by New Jerseyans, who had months to pick their favorites online, and the hall's Voting Academy, made up of 100 state organizations. The nominees came from the fields of sports, entertainment, science and the arts. All have deep ties to the Garden State.
Jack Nicholson grew up in Neptune City, New Jersey.

The induction ceremony will be held May 2, 2010, at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark.

The Hall of Fame was created to honor New Jerseyans who have made valuable contributions to society and the world. First- and second-year inductees include: Frank Sinatra, Albert Einstein, Yogi Berra, Shaquille O'Neal and Bruce Springsteen.

Last year, Jack Nicholson was already included in the California Hall of Fame of 2008, so this makes it his second induction in a Hall of Fame.
