• Wrestler Kevin Kelly had the following to say on the new Tom Green/Jason Lee film “Stealing Harvard” at his site today:

• And speaking of Lee, here’s a little anecdote from a brief article on Julia Stiles on Empire magazine’s web page:

• Alright, while we’re talking Lee — Here’s today’s transcript of his MSN chat! It’s not too long, and even has a few questions Askew. Enjoy.
• After 3 months of design and building, UK Askew is back on a nice new permanent server! Check out the new site athttp://www.ukaskew.com.
• Until recently, the morning DJ for Radio 104 in Hartford, CT, and another station in Richmond, VA, was Dee Snider, former lead singer of Twisted Sister. On his show, he used MANY sound bites from Kevin’s movies. One of the guys on the show, Darkside Dave, used to use Chewbacca as his theme music. Recently, he was using Brodie’s “On that note, we cue themusic” a LOT. His show was just cancelled due to contract issues with Clear Channel. In his letter to the fans, he quotes “On that note, we cue the music.”
• And finally tonight, on FOX’s “Street Magicians Revealed”, they revealed a trick about guessing a 2 digit number that has both odd #’s and they have to be different. The trick was that it was played by statistics and — Guess what — #37 is the number most people guess out of all of them. Perhaps “Clerks” indirectly played a part? See ya next time…

• The Inquirer had this caption under a new black & white shot of Affleck & Lopez on Friday — If anyone’s got a scan of that, send it in!

Holiday setting, eh? Another small piece of the puzzle is revealed. Though the film is spanning several years, we’re not sure exactly when the holiday scene(s) will take place.

• For those of you who can get CN8 on your cable systems (areas of NJ, PA, DE and so forth), the channel is re-running the Alliance of Neighbors Benefit Concert from last year that Kevin hosted, TONIGHT at 8 PM.
• In this week’s edition of Entertainment Weekly, Kevin is quoted as saying that he had the hots for “Sister Anne Louise in the third grade.” He also gets a very small nod in this article on Samurai Jack from EW.
• Tonight, Comedy Central is running all four episodes of Contest Searchlight, the Project-Greenlight like parody show. If you missed the first part with Chasing Amy’s Dwight Ewell playing a contestant, you can catch it tonight. The mini-marathon starts at 8 PM EST.
• We’re still staying away form the fear of getting addicted, but the Hollywood Stock Exchange is now trading Jersey Girl stock in their ongoing game. If you’re interested, get on over there and invest some virtual dollars, it’s free (but again, we warn, addictive!).
• The flick “Comic Book Villains” has a Clerks reference in it within the first 10 minutes — A bunch of comic book geeks are hanging around a comic store, and one of the patrons has a black “Clerks” t-shirt on.
• Those of you following what Brad Meltzer’s up to with Green Arrow now that Kevin’s left the book — Here’s a couple reviews of the newly-released issue #16 — HERE and HERE.
• Jason Lee was spotted at the Beck show in LA the other night. The story with the mention is online right HERE.
• IGN is running a poll you can titled “WHAT CANCELLED TV SERIES SHOULD GET A VIDEO GAME NEXT?”. Clerks: TAS is on the list and currently winning the poll. A Clerks video game sure would be a blast.
• And finally, the OTHER film called “Jersey Girl” (the allegedly very BAD one from years back) is apparently airing later tonight on the BBC in the UK .

• As always, the Philadelphia Inquirer doesn’t disappoint today, with yet another update from the set of “Jersey Girl”:

As always, the story’s also at the Inquirer’s site.

• The New York Post reported this interesting little tidbit about Jersey Girl amongst their Daily Dish today:

• Found any VULGAR easter eggs on the DVD yet? Here’s a hint — At the main menu, highlight the LIONS GATE logo and hit play. There’s a Dogma trailer on the disc somewhere as well. Happy huntin’!
• Did anyone notice Jason Lee wearing a Clerks t-shirt during his interview segments for the “Stealing Harvard” Reel Comedy special on Comedy Central?

• We’ve been getting so many mails on this for the past couple months, we figured we’d just run it finally – A cap from the popular tea/juice drink Sobe here runs little sayings under its caps, working its signature lizard in somehow — One of them reads “Jay & Silent Lizard”. Check it out above.
• Lynch & Coffman’s Monkey Man Unleashed #1 shipped thru Diamond comics this week. Get your copies at your favorite comic shops now!

• In trying to customize movie posters to appeal to computer geeks, Something Awful parodied Chasing Amy by calling it “Chasing Amiga”.
• Lots of Matt Damon in the news today, oddly enough, even though he’s not promoting anything new here in the States, he’s doing quite a bit of press overseas. He’ll appeared on Johnny Vaughan’s chat show in the UK today, talks Bourne Identity in Empire UK and of course refuted that ridiculous Good Will Hunting 2 rumor, citing that what they did in “Jay & Bob” was enough. Dark Horizons quotes: “We did that on Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back, and that’s as far as it’s gonna go. The first movie has a definite end.”
• Kevin and the Eden Prarie mall are mentioned in the new book “A Year at the Movies”, written by former Mystery Science Theater 3000 cast member/writer, Kevin Murphy (a.k.a. Tom Servo). Kevin wrote a book about his experiences attending movies for a whole year and the book is absolutely hilarious. In week 9, Kevin mentions that he is seeing a film in the Eden Prarie mall which is where Mallrats was filmed (Murphy called the film a “disaster” though, sheesh we though the guy had taste!). He then goes on to mention that Kevin’s film, Chasing Amy, fit into a category of film titles like Saving Silverman and Finding Forrester.
• The Vulgar DVD is now available in stores everywhere! A new review from JoBlo gives it a so-so rating of 6/10, citing O’Halloran’s performance as a highlight. A mixed review from Moviehole also was recently posted.
• A group of high school students are planning to paint a bus with a View Askew theem, taking it on a US tour to Red Bank and other famous View Askew sites, then on a route across the country that matches the route Jay & Bob took in their final film. If you’re interested in learning more, drop them an e-mail HERE.

• The Philly Inquirier yet again checks in with a couple new stories on Jersey Girl:

Also, a bit off topic…

Read that one HERE.
