• Thanks to the Jim Mahfood Official Site, we’re pleased to present these sketches of the prototypes for the upcoming Clerks action figures! Not much has been said about these puppies in a while, but it seems from the look of this that development is going quite well. Like Jay & Silent Bob, these guys are gonna be quality work, and come with some quite hilarious accessories. No release date has been set for the figures, but we’ll keep you posted on that, since we’re certainly anxious to get a look at them in person ourselves. All the scans expand, so click away and check out all the cool details!

• Heather Graham spoke about her “Alien Love Triangle” segment of the Light Years Trilogy, and mentioned the status of Kev’s involvement. For the unacquainted, this is a 3-story flick, with one of the pices being written and directed by Kevin, from what we’d heard. Doesn’t sound like Kev’s gotten very far with the project, but it’s definitely something that sounds cool, so we’ll work on getting some clarification on exactly what Kev’s involvement is, as well as how far along he is with the project, considering Dogma and the Clerks series have obviously been keeping the guy quite busy.

MR SHOWBIZ: “Have you finished shooting Danny Boyle’s Alien Love Triangle?

HEATHER: Yeah. That was actually a while ago, and it hasn’t come out because it’s part of a trilogy, kind of like New York Stories. Danny Boyle directed a segment, Gary Fleder, and Kevin Smith. And I don’t think Kevin Smith has done his part yet. But mine is called Alien Love Triangle, and I play an alien with a green head. I’m totally bald and I have pointy ears, and I wear fake contact lenses. It’s with Kenneth Branagh and Courteney Cox. Courteney Cox is a male alien in the body of a female, and I come to pick her up on Earth because she’s my husband. She’s a very chauvinistic male. So it’s funny; there’s Courteney Cox yelling at me, and being really mad, like “Where have you been?” and “I just wanna scratch my balls and hang out with the men!” [Laughs.] It’s a comedy, but in a very dark way, and a commentary.”
