• NeptuneSite broke the news today that Kevin is scheduled to appear as a convenience store clerk (how priceless is that?) on the UPN hit “Veronica Mars” this fall. The episode is set to air October 5th. His character is named “Duane Anders”, and he’ll be filming the spot THIS WEEK! Surf NeptuneSite for all the latest “Veronica” news, and thanks to Craig for giving us the news as soon as he verified it.

• Another memorable week is now in the books, and Kevin’s got “Silent Bob Speaks” up to date, as always, in verbose, revealing, and detailed fashion. It was a great week of revelations and detail yet again, one which we highly recommend you check out page-by-page yourself. For the record, though, here’s a summary of August 1st through August 7th:

• The “Evening 2” DVD will clock in at 4 hours, with a lengthy Degrassi story hidden on the Toronto disc as an easter egg.
• Kevin’s Chicago Q&A appearance was a blast and a huge success, with signings, an extended Q&A session, and even some poker winnings. Kevin reveals that his Powers appearance may actually not be him, but given as a gift to someone. He also raised $2k more for charity by offering a Clerks 2 walk-on role for bids.
• High praise and a recommendation for superhero film “Sky High”.
• A nice 35th birthday haul of goodies and a surprise party take place at “Lucky Strike” in Hollywood.
• Kevin reveals that he’ll be starting a new diet plan which involves only liquid shakes for a few months.

The Silent Bob Speaks blog continues to be the most revealing, honest, detailed diary you’ll find anywhere online. It’s rare to find such honesty in life, and even more rare to find it from such a public figure as Kevin. Enjoy it, and as always, get the full monty at silentbobspeaks.com!
