• Just wanted to check and make sure you’re not having any glitches with this site or the Scooping The Monkey area. We’re working on some additions over there, so watch for it. In the meantime, if you’re having any technical problems with the site being slow, talkbacks not loading, or strange behavior on the Scooping The Monkey site, be sure and post about it here in the Talkbacks. We’ll see what we can do to fix it. If you’re having a problem, be sure to post your PC and operating system type along with the browser you’re using. Just doing our part to keep the site in tiptop shape for ya. Often a problem is localized to just one machine which makes it hard to tackle, but if there’s any common trouble going on, we’d like to get it fixed up for ya.

By the way, we saw the IMDB report of Kev’s words against Premiere Magazine…We aren’t running their story again because we ran it last week in the news. It’s all the same stuff.

Thanks, and now back to the update:

Okay, sure, the sheets are vague and don’t provide details, but it certainly sounds like we’ll be seeing not only 2 new Jay and Bob figs, but more! We hope to have more info on exactly which characters will get the action figure treatment and all the extra goodies that come along with them. Stay tuned!

• At 4 Color Review there’s yet another very postive review of the preview edition of Green Arrow #1. Be forewarned, it DOES contain spoilers, but also a good amount of black and white preview art. Check it out, and remember to reserve your copy, arriving next month!
• Jason Biggs will appear today on MTV’s Total Request Live to promote his new flick, “Saving Silverman”. Maybe he’ll mention Jay & Bob, too? Also, watch tonight’s Daily Show with John Stewart on Comedy Central, as James Van Der Beek is the guest. Those of you who read the spoilers on J&SBSB know the roles these two will be playing in the film. The Daily Show airs at 11 PM EST and again tomorrow at 10 AM and 7 PM EST.
• ViewAskew.com and Lee World have started a new Jason Lee chat area that can be located through the web HERE. Stop in and chat with fellow fans!
• The Screen Actors Guild have nominated the cast of “Almost Famous” (including Lee, of course) for ‘Outstanding Perfomance by the Cast of a Theatrical Motion Picture’. Congrats again to the cast of that wonderful picture.
