What, exactly, does the British press have against Jack Nicholson and his glorious body? How else to explain the cheapshots The Departed star has been subjected to?

Today, This is London makes sport of the 70-year-old actor's trip to St. Bart's where he was photographed "flailing around the beach with his huge belly and sizeable man boobs on display."

Last year, The Daily Mail ran a series of photos of Nicholson on a boat in the Mediterranean in which he was spotted enjoying a "supersize baguette" and "struggling to haul himself back on board" after a swim. We just hope he waited the requisite 30 minutes after eating to go for a dip.

Another fat, waaayyy overrated actor, much like Marlon Brando. Yes, I said overrated. Think of Robert DiNero.

I would like to personally apologize to the denizens of the Internet for Zach's aforementioned comment stating that Marlon Brando is an over-rated actor.

However, I would like to give him a round of applause regarding his statement on how over-rated Jack Nicholson is now. Yes, now... now Nicholson is not an actor. He simply plays himself on the big-screen... the same character again and again. Just like Denzel Washington has been doing lately... like a type-cast they give in to.

Jack's cocky attitude doesn't really help him much either. Regardless of his three chocolate-filled Oscar statuettes or not...
