  • Kevin talks “Cop Out” with Coming Soon, via this exclusive video clip which runs a whopping eight-plus minutes. Most definitely worth trying. Pick up the “Cop Out” DVD or packed Bluray, now available all over the place. We’ll let you know when the Stash has the online orders up for signed copies, too, collectors — Sit tight.
  • In the mood for a little more video? For the past few years, Kevin’s been a huge fan and participant in the Crazy 4 Cult art show. Those of you who weren’t lucky enough to be in the Los Angeles area to attend will be happy to see this excellent 10 minute look at the event, courtesy of G4. Take a look at some of the art, meet some of the aritists, and look for an appearance from Mr. Smith himself.
  • Bill Murray revealed that, while he’s never seen “Clerks”, he at least seems to know it exists and was influential in the world of independent film:

      “…That’s good. I want those things to work, but I’m out of touch. I have no idea. I never saw the original Office. I never saw this Office. I never even saw Clerks. Like I never saw, what’s-his-name, Larry David’s show.”

    Read the entire interview at the GQ website.

  • Seems that “Mallrats” star Jeremy London will appear as one of the cast of the new season of VH-1’s “Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew”. We hope the program is helpful to him.
  • Looks like our old pals the Westboro Baptists will be protesting at Comic-Con this weekend. Kevin’s sometime’s spotted trading barbs with one of the Phelps clan via twitter, and it’s been suggested that the family may also have issues with “Red State”, as it allegedly deals with a villain cut from similar cloth, unless the script’s changed since then.
