  • Yarrr! Catch Kevin as Captain Scurvy, as he appeared on MAD TV this past weekend. Ming’s got the clip now available in Quicktime Format HERE. It’s a really funny segment, and Kevin does a fine fine job with it. Recommended viewing.
  • Once again, DJ from Drawing the Line has slipped a small View Askew (Clerks Cartoon) reference into his strip. Check it out at the DTL site.
  • UK tabloid “The Sun” apparently loved Question #9 from Playboy in which Kevin revealed a bizarre request made by the self-proclaimed “King of Pop” himself:
Jacko: I wanna be a car

MICHAEL Jackson wanted to make a Hollywood movie in which he turned into a CAR so a young boy could drive him around.

The pop star sent his script to top film director Kevin Smith, who rejected it for being “the weirdest thing” he’d ever read.

Smith, 33, – whose latest movie Jersey Girl stars Ben Affleck – said: “It was about Michael Jackson morphing in to a car – no lie.

“Jackson was behind it. He wanted it to be a story about a guy, played by himself, who hangs out with a little boy.

“This boy goes into the car and drives around.”

Jackson, 45, later tried to get other Hollywood directors interested without success.

Smith said: “In retrospect, I’d love to make it.

“But it wouldn’t be anything like the version Jackson wanted to see.”

MSN picked up the newsbite as well.

  • According to this report from the latest Harry Potter film, it seems that Alan Rickman is keeping a Harley Quinn doll given to him by Kevin very close by. Cool stuff.
  • And finally today, ya gotta dig Affleck for this movie. The guy WANTS his Razzies! Let’s hope they make good and see the he receives his prizes. He earned ’em, after all. We’ll see ya again soon, things don’t slow down here enough to take a break these days!
