Now, it’s the audience’s turn to help their favorites move through the competition. Since Monday’s show, fans have been able to vote for a “save”. Of the 4 members of each celebrity team, one will be given the “audience save” which is determined by the top number of votes from the public. Another of the 4 will be saved by their mentor. The remaining 2 will go home. While we’re fairly certain that Christina would love to see Raquel continue on, and would save her as well, we’d love for the audience to choose her as the fave. So here’s how you can do it, all the way up until 10 AM this Monday morning, EST:

• Call 1-855-VOICE-01 TOLL-FREE up to 10 times which directly casts a vote for her.
• Vote up to 10 times at the NBC.com Web site.
• Download her performance from iTunes for $1.29 which gets you a copy of the song, and also counts as a vote towards Raquel.

You can vote up to 10 times per voting method (though we’re assuming you’re not going to download the song 10 times, you can, and have it count). Calls and web-based votes are simple and should only take you a few minutes. News Askew is a proud supporter of Team Raquel, and hope to see her move forward in the competition, which has topped the summer television rankings this year. Good luck!

Learn more about Raquel and hear from her directly at her new official site, raquelcastro.com.

And while you’re getting your free fix, don’t forget, even if your cable or satellite provider doesn’t offer Epix, you can sign up for a FREE TRIAL and watch Kevin’s “Too Fat For 40” on demand, online RIGHT NOW at their web site. And if your provider doesn’t have the channel, give them a buzz and ask them why (or call to sign on up, the content is fantastic).

In anticipation of the premiere, Kevin will take part in a Q&A, streamed live at epixHD.com on the same day at 3:00pm ET. You’ll be able to watch LIVE and pose your own questions for him to answer about his past and future works, and the standup special.

For a preview, check out this exclusive clip of Kevin talking talking about his infamous incident with Southwest Airlines:

You don’t have to be an Epix subscriber for the Saturday afternoon Q&A, but we WOULD like to offer our readers a free, two week sneak peek of Epix (which includes the Kevin special) by using this link: http://epixhd.com/freetrial. That will allow you to see the full performance this Saturday as well.

For more clips, visit the offical site, which features a new tour through Jay & Silent Bob’s Secret Stash and other looks at the special.

Here’s how the voting works: This week, all 4 members of Aguilera’s team performed — Of the four, only two of them will make it into the next round. One of them will be voted in by the people (that’s you). The other will be voted in by the judges. Her performance was fantastic tonight, so we’re thinking her chances of making the next round are fantastic.

You have all week to vote (until Monday) and can do it by downloading Raquel’s song on iTunes, calling in, or texting.

Kevin Smith: ‘Pawn Stars For Fanboys’ TV Series in Works

Kevin Smith has been quite the busy man over these past couple of months. He announced his retirement from filmmaking (after his next movie Hit Somebody comes out, that is), revealed his own radio station S. I. R., and now he’s apparently got a television show in the works. You’d think that he’d want to, you know, kick back and enjoy his retirement. Apparently not.

As is all the rage lately, the announcement came through on Twitter from Kevin Smith himself just yesterday. The tweet points to a Facebook page with a casting call for comic book fans age 21-35 in the New York tri-state area. They aren’t looking for actors for the role, however they’re looking for comic book fans who ‘live and breathe the comic book lifestyle.’

The show will take place in Kevin Smith’s own comic book shop The Secret Stash. Going by the information found on the Facebook page posting, it appears the show will essentially be Pawn Stars for the comic book geeks. Pawn Stars has proven to be a pretty winning formula for History Channel, so it’ll be interesting to see how it will work out with comic books.

If you have a collection of rare and cool comics of your own, you’ll have the chance to head over to the comic book store and potentially appear on the show yourself. If that sounds like your sort of thing, head over to this link for more information on how you can potentially participate.

The Facebook page makes it sound like there’s actually two different programs being tested out here, and provides details on how you can be a part of it. It’s all going down at the world famous “Red Bank” Stash. Hate facebook? Get info at the Tell ‘Em Steve-Dave site. Be there!

Take a look at this new promo for the show and catch a glimpse of her at the 3:18 mark along with what looks like some extremely positive feedback.

In the meantime, you can also show your early support for her by checking out her new (unofficial) “The Voice” fan page. Go Raquel!
