Jack is hot to plot film's sex scenes
Martin Scorsese doesn't let every actor rewrite his movies - but then, not every actor brings so much life experience to a role as Jack Nicholson.
Word is the two-time Oscar-winner has been tinkering with the script for Scorsese's "The Departed" - including the sex scenes.
"Jack didn't feel there was enough Jack in his character," a spy tells us.
So Nicholson, who plays a Boston Irish gangster named Costello, called for a polish to William Monahan's script.
"Jack actually did some of the writing himself," says our spy.
But we're told it wasn't a pen he used for revising a scene in which he gets busy with two women.
"Jack suggested using a [prosthetic appendage]," adds the source. "He also wanted to dust the [posterior] of one of the actresses with cocaine. Marty said, 'Go for it!'"
A Warner Bros. rep would say only, "It's not at all uncommon for dialogue to be fine-tuned during production. Everyone is extremely pleased with the way this shoot is proceeding."
Nicholson is in Massachusetts, where he just got together in Hyannis Port with Sen. Ted Kennedy.
Co-star Leonardo DiCaprio had an even livelier weekend. The "Aviator" star was slashed by a bottle-wielding woman at a Hollywood party hosted by Rick Salomon (famed for the appendage featured in the Paris Hilton sex tape).
Having received 12 stitches to close a wound running from his ear to his neck, DiCaprio was back on the "Departed" set yesterday. Aside from taking a few minutes to talk on the phone to L.A. detectives investigating the case, the actor plans to get on with his job.
