- Soul Asylum tunes “Can’t Even Tell†(from Clerks’ end credits) and “We 3″ (Chasing Amy’s end credits) are on a new “Best of†Soul Asylum album entitled “Black Gold: Best of Soul Asylumâ€, now in stores.
- Kevin got mentioned on this morning’s Howard Stern radio show, when Howard and the gang were discussing Christmas cards they received. Apparently, Kevin sent one in, and Robin went on a tangent (yes, they played her music) about how Affleck should have gotten Kev a nice Christmas gift for making him look good in his flicks. Hopefully Ben will go on the Stern show someday to set everything straight, as the guy really gets a bad rap on there from time to time, even though he really is a cool dude.
- In a recent EW Online article, critic Liane Bonin talks about how Holywood has been using African Americans in the roles of spiritual beings lately, including Will Smith (Bagger Vance), Michael Clark Duncan (Green Mile), and none other than Chris Rock, as Rufus. She seems to have liked our 13th apostle, because she says that with the exception of Rock, the others seem to have been stereotyped to death and are becoming offensive.
- Canadian music channel MuchMusic (which you satellite subscribers should pick up) runs an annual show called Fromage 2000, hosted by the always hilarious Ed The Sock. This year, in between his tirades on Brittany Spears and all boy bands, he mentioned the fake Jay & Silent Bob that appeared when they blasted the “Sunshine†video by Rubber.
- Finally today, from the New York Post‘s “Page Sixâ€:
THERE’S no plan yet for sequels to “All the Pretty Horses,†but Ben Affleck is helping Matt Damon prepare nonetheless. He dropped nearly $500 at the Strand to buy rare book proofs of the first and last installments of Cormac McCarthy’s trilogy – the two in which Damon’s character appears. He also bought director Kevin (â€Dogmaâ€) Smith a 20-volume Oxford English Dictionary.
