Jack Nicholson is getting a reported $500,000 for 10 days' work on the $40 million "A Few Good Men," whose cast also includes Tom Cruise, Kiefer Sutherland, Demi Moore, Kevin Bacon.
But contrary to published reports, Nicholson won't be reprising his Joker role in "Batman 2." "We never had one conversation with Jack Nicholson about being in the movie," says a Warner Bros. spokeswoman. Cameras roll on the se-quel (still without a formal title) in Los Angeles early next month.- ARRAIGNMENT IS SET Sept. 19 for singer-songwriter Billy ("Nothing From Nothing," "With You I'm Born Again") Preston, arrested at his home on Malibu's Point Dume on suspicion of sexual battery, showing pornographic material to a minor, possessing cocaine and being under the influence of a controlled substance.
Arrest followed a phone call from a neighboring house to deputy sheriffs by a 16-year-old boy who claimed he was picked up by Preston, taken to a barn behind the singer's house, shown a blue movie and physically attacked before he escaped.
