Mewes Signing/Panel: 4 More Degrassis!
- MovieMiguel comes to us with exclusive photos and a few details from Jason Mewes’ signing and panel appearances in Ohio this weekend. No video or further details of what went down, but we did get this one new tidbit from the event – He and Kevin shot a total of FOUR new episodes of Degrassi: The Next Generation! We knew that some filming had taken place when the guys were in Canada recently, but we had no idea that it would be for this many episodes. No plot details on their appearance just yet, though their last visits had them making a “Jay & Silent Bob Go Canadian” film and then coming back to town for the premiere. We can’t wait to see what’s next.

- A scooper points out that this Thursday’s premiere of “Testees” on FX, which we mentioned last update, will not only be presented by “Zack And Miri Make a Porno”, but also, the show was written by and stars Kenny Hotz (of “Kenny & Spenny” fame), who has a small role in “Porno”. Tune in for what’s sure to be a funny show, and to perhaps see some new footage from the latest View Askew production.
- “Zack And Miri Make a Porno” star Katie Morgan and some friends made a cameo appearance on last night’s new episode of HBO’s “Entourage” — As the show is uncensored, you also get some skin as a bonus! Worth checking out, for sure, if you’re not already watching this popular program.
- One scooper caught the green band “Zack And Miri” trailer in theaters this weekend, playing before “Religulous”. It’s the first report we’ve heard of the trailer on the big screen. Remember, the red band will NEVER play in theaters, so the green band is the only one you’ll see the the local cineplex. Commercials for the film continue to air regularly and in good spots – CBS’s popular EliteXC Martial Arts competition recently aired the trailer in a prime location between rounds.
- Kevin and his awesome DVDs commentaries get a super quick mention on the latest comic-themed Newsarama “Word Balloon” podcast. Listen to it all or scan in to around the 1 hour 32 minute mark to hear the mention.
