• Some more goodies from the Ortega vault today — Shots from the most recent celebrity signing at Stash west for the Degrassi Next Generation DVDs. As always, detail, up close and personal, like never before. Enjoy, and thanks, Albert.

• Kevin’s completed some new blog entires, and now has the second half of July totally on the books. Read about the “Catch And Release” wrap party, a nice explanation on the Black Cat/Spidey book lateness (which we may reprint here for historical purposes), and the reveal that Kevin will indeed be planning Mallrats X and Degrassi DVD signings (we assume, at Stash West) and that the brilliant Alex Ross might also be paying a visit for a session. Also, this interesting tidbit on what’s bound to be the most RARE inaction figure ever:

Alright, so who doesn’t want theirs?

We know many of you have been patiently waiting for this, and are sure that Kevin has lots more to come, as he settles back in Cali and preps for some Clerks 2 shooting (which we assume will go into full force after these just-announced Degrassi episodes are taped). Read all the bloggy goodness at the always brutually honest and detailed Silent Bob Speaks: “My Boring-Ass Life” site! Thanks for your patience, and watch for Kevin’s updates to continue soon.

• This morning’s edition of California radio program “The Sarah and No Name Show” had the duo discussing Kevin “stealing” their producer Matty, for what they claimed would be Kevin’s own talk show, starting soon. The show would air once a week, they claimed. Nothing solid at this point, but given Kevin’s recently enjoyable radio gigs, we wouldn’t at all be surprised to see Kevin taking up the mic once a week for a broadcast. We’ll keep you posted as we hear more about this developing story. And, as always, you west-coasters keep your ears open for us!
