  • Prince gets his overdue dig in on Kevin in this week’s issue of Entertainment Weekly, on which his royal purpleness adorns the cover:
“Last night after his show in Bakersfield , Calif, he and his band unwound by checking out Kevin Smith’s latest flick Jersey Girl. A so-so dpearture from
his usual lewd-and-crude comidies. Prince was unimpressed. Not that the 45 year old happily married, devout Jehova’s Witness can’t appreciate a cleaner
act; he himself has scrubbed from his list of staples like “head” and “Jack U Off”, It’s just according to Prince, Smith didn’t replace it with anything
interesting. “We walked out after an hour” he stiffs. “Guess thats what happens when the potty mouth don’t work for you anymore”

Later in the article, Kevin was able to rebuke with:

“I’m cool with him not liking “Jersey Girl.” I fucking hated his album “Crystal Ball”, so now we’re even.”
  • In the liner notes of the new deluxe edition of rockin’ band Weezer’s Blue cd, there’s a mention of Mallrats under the description of
    ‘Susanne’:
“The band had agreed to let “Susanne” be used in the upcoming Kevin Smith film Mallrats. A consensus was reached that the track could stand a fresh try at
a mix if it was to be used in the film. The remix has come to be considered as the definitive version.”
  • And finally, always the ones to love taking a rumor and twisting into solid fact, the current issue of UK magazine “Hot Dog” reports
JAY AND INDY BEN STRIKE BACK

As a thank-you present for getting sober, director Kevin Smith is going to write a new Jay and Silent Bob movie for Jason “Jay” Mewes. Mewes missed out on a role in Jersey Girl because of his problem with drugs. Smith told him if he gets clean he’ll write him another plum role. He’s snagged a nice little part in The Green Hornet and Smith hopes to have him back in front of the cameras for the new Jay and Silent Bob chapter, which Ben Affleck has agreed to appear in as well, for 2006…

Wow. While it’s PROBABLY a given, that’s a little poetic license with Affleck there. So chalk this one up as wishful thinking for the moment.
