JACK NICHOLSON has moved in with neighbour MARLON BRANDO after splitting from his girlfriend of 11 years.

Nicholson, 63, stormed out of the Los Angeles, California, home he shared with on-off lover REBECCA BROUSSARD, 37, when she called in lawyers after a particularly vicious row.

The CHINATOWN star immediately moved in with the Hollywood heavyweight next door in order to remain close to his two young children by Broussard, LORRAINE, 10, and RAYMOND, eight. A friend says, "Jack and Marlon have lived next to each other for 25 years. They don't pop round much for cups of sugar but have always been friends." The pal adds, "Jack's furious that Rebecca consulted lawyers. "He wanted to sort it out amicably but knows with them involved it's going to get nasty." (KW/WNTMI/PDD)
