  • Back on May 28th, we reported that a contestant on the UPN reality show “America’s Next Top Model” was a big View Askew fan and quoted the films all the time. Well, guess who WON THE COMPETITION? Congrats to Adrianne Curry, our favorite contestant. The previously linked E! Online story has a mention of her love of all things Askew, and the Chicago Sun-Times also had this in an article about her:
“Quoting Jay and Silent Bob (Silent Bob, obviously, not so much). She was hoping the producers on ‘America’s Next Top Model’ would engineer a meeting with Jason Mewes, who plays Jay in the Kevin Smith movies. ‘I love that man,’ Adrianne says.”

Ya see that? It pays to be a View Askew fan these days. We love our peeps.

  • Today’s most popular submission: A new game by Capcom that is due for release on the Nintendo Gamecube next year, “Killer 7″, deals with a man with multiple personalities (7 to be exact, hence the game title). According to Gamespot.com, the 7 characters all have the same last name, Smith. And one of the first names? Kevin. We’re doubt there’s any relation. The article reports that the game is only 30% completed as far as coding goes, so maybe it’s not too late to throw in an easter egg that makes the dude look like everyone’s favorite director? We’ll see
  • Mallrats babe Claire Forlani returns as Maxim’s “Girlfriend of the Day” today. ‘Rats scores a mention:
“Even now, these teenage boys sidle up to me looking kind of cool and say, ‘You’re the Mallrats girl, right?’ Then they don’t say anything because they’re so starstruck. I just want all those boys out there to know, I love you all.”

Alright, hey, at least she said we looked cool. And teen-aged. Love you too, Claire.

  • “Matt & Ben”, the off-broadway play performed by two women that spoofs Damon & Affleck, re-opens on July 28th.
  • The Mac news site MacSlash is currently running a Kevin Smith related Poll: “What is your favorite Kevin Smith DVD?”. Glad to see there’s some fans over there in the Mac world, as we all know how big of a fan Kev is of the Mac.
  • The latest edition of the Aquarian (a local Jersey rock magazine) has a feature that focuses on the Stash. If anyone’s got the article scanned or keyed in, send it on.

  • And finally today, on the light side of things…We’re not sure this story from the UK Sun is truly legit, but we think Brodie would have found it fascinating. Until next time, brave readers. We’ll see ya.
