Kevin Sits Down With Jay Leno…
- Yes, after much anticipation, we’re happy to announce that full-length Quicktime and Windows Media versions of Kevin’s most recent appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno are now available! Kevin appeared as a sit-down guest with Jay on last Friday’s show, mainly there to plug his “Evening with Kevin Smith” DVD, but, as always, things got a little goofy – You can watch and listen to Kevin tell a story regarding his Christmas gift from Leno, talk about the filming of Jersey Girl (with “Beniffer”), the press, buying Ben’s house, and a lot more. The reactions of Renee Zellweger are worth the price of admission alone.

- This year’s Project Greenlight winners have been announced, according to The Hollywood Reporter:
Rankin, Potelle nab “Greenlight” honors
Kyle Rankin and Efram Potelle were selected over the weekend in Park City as the winning directors for the second installment of “Project Greenlight,” HBO and Miramax Films’ reality TV series and film-directing contest. The award-winning script was “The Battle of Shaker Heights,” by Erica Beeney, which beat out 7,200 other submissions. “Heights” is now slated to head into production March 10, with a budget of at least $1 million. As in “Greenlight”’s first season, Miramax will guarantee a theatrical release. The series kicks off in June on HBO.
- And finally today, Mike Portnoy, drummer for the band Dream Theater, called Kevin his “Hero of the Day” with this quote at his official website:
KEVIN SMITH
I am thoroughly enjoying the “Evening With Kevin Smith” DVD set. He is as engaging and entertaining with his stories and humour in these Q&A sessions as his dialogue is in all of his films.
