• Kevin’s lovingly-detailed account of his life and times (so far) with Jason Mewes, “Me & My Shadow”, continues this week at the “Silent Bob Speaks” and “MySpace” blog sites. Looks like Kevin’s now posting a full version of the text at both places for these stories, so be sure to make stopping by these sites part of your daily surfing routine (as well as your stop right here at News Askew, of course). Let’s take a look at just a few select passages from the latest entries, Part 2 and Part 3:

The story is truly a detailed, incredible tale that not only shows every side of Mewes since Kevin has known him, but also humanizes the story and, amazingly, shows just how much Kevin can remember all of his past experiences with Jay. Truly a friendship that was meant to last. Read it all from the beginning. You’ll be glad that you did. And if you know someone in your life who’s got problems with drugs, it might not be a bad idea to share this tale with them, as well.

• A rare, but much-deserved SCOTT MOSIER shout-out appears on the newly released DVD of Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim series “Robot Chicken” (Season One). There’s an entire segment called “Citizen Spears” (parody of Kane with Britney Spears as the subject) and her last word is “mozer” and, at the end, when her little sister is going through her belongings, she finds a box with three objects that might be what she was talking about. The second is a framed, signed photograph of “Clerks producer Scott Mosier.” Quite amusing. Can’t miss it!
• We promised you more Mewes – Here it is! He did some radio this morning to promote an upcoming appearance, and Bobby has the summary:

Catch Jason this Friday in Mt. Clemens, MI (about 30 minutes outside of Detroit) at the Emerald Theater.

• Jason Lee costars with Crispin Glover in the new film “Drop Dead Gorgeous” (watch a trailer HERE). The film will be playing at the Newport Beach Film Festival on Saturday, April 22 – 5:00 PM – Edwards Island Cinemas – Absolut Theater. For more information, you can visit their website at www.newportbeachfilmfest.com. Tickets go on sale early in April for the event.

There’s mixed news out there about whether the film’s getting a theatrical release or straight to DVD. Lions Gate bought it for US distribution, though we hear Australia is going direct to DVD with it this May. The film was premiered at a festival in March 2005.

• What looks to be the final, official trailer for the Kevin Smith-starring (and scene-stealing, according to early test reviews) flick “Catch & Release” has appeared on the AOL front page today.

• Here’s a fun blip today — Seems that according to this piece regarding Stan Lee eBaying his Mercedes, he’s best known for appearing in “Mallrats”! Best known? Huh!
