• Sort of last minute notice, but…Tonight (8/27) and Saturday night (8/28) the State Twin Theatres (120 W. College Ave.) in State College, Pennsylvania will be showing Clerks at a midnight showing. Warning: PSU and Arizona are playing here this weekend, so it may be crowded and full of drunken students. Directions to the State Twin Theatres can be found here. Nice news if you PA folks need some last minute plans for your weekend.
• Zentertainment reports: Maria Bello (ER, Permanent Midnight) and John Goodman have joined Piper Perabo and Adam Garcia in the cast of COYOTE UGLY. The Jerry Bruckheimer-produced film, which Kevin Smith had a hand in writing, is about a New Jersey woman (Perabo) sidetracked in her attempts at stardom in New York by the Coyote Ugly nightclub.
• Finally, just a cool little tidbit for today – Seems that CSNSider even picked up our story from Duncan on Jay & Silent Bob #4’s status. No new material there, just cool to see that News Askew is reaching more of the major players on the web when it comes to comics. Thanks, folks.

Reel.Com Links: Our links to Reel.Com are not working properly due to their switching to a new site design. We will repair this ASAP and let you know when it’s fixed. Sorry for the hassle.

CLARIFICATION/RESCHEDULE: According to our sources and this link, Kev’s appearance on 102.1 in Toronto WAS to be today…But it looks like that’s been rescheduled. The appearance will now happen TOMORROW (Friday) afternoon at 3:30 PM. It will be TAPED at this point, and broadcast between 6 and 8 PM on the station. The station does broadcast over the web. Just surf around their web site to listen in. We thought it would be important to let you know about this ASAP, since the update may not make it online until after the fact tomorrow. Thanks to Aimee, Eric Press, Mark Webster & Trev.
