BEST wishes for a speedy recovery to Jack Nicholson. The winner of three Oscars – 12 nominations total – "checked into an L.A.-area hospital for an infection," a reliable source said yesterday. His agent, Sandy Bresler, said: "I do not comment on Jack’s personal life." No word on whether Nicholson, 69, will be able to promote "The Departed," the Martin Scorsese mob movie bowing Oct. 6, or whether his health will affect "The Bucket List," due to start filming next month.
