- Today’s most popular submission is one that’s getting “Jersey Girl†a TON of press on the web today. AP news (and therefore, the widely read Yahoo and CNN) has created an entire story around the comment Kevin made regarding a cut scene from the film:
NEW YORK - A wedding scene with Ben Affleck (news) and Jennifer Lopez (news) has been scrapped from director Kevin Smith (news)’s upcoming “Jersey Girl,†according to Us Weekly magazine.
“I didn’t know if (it was right) to leave it in,†Smith is quoted as saying in the March 8 issue. “People might forget they’re watching a picture, like, `Wait, didn’t these two NOT get married?’â€
Affleck and Lopez were supposed to have married last September, but abruptly postponed their lavish plans “due to the excessive media attention surrounding our wedding.†They have since ended their engagement.
“Jersey Girl†is set for release March 26.
That’s right, folks — Get that release date out there for us!
- And the IMDB again takes the Ben/Jen angle with their latest Jersey Girl blurb:
Hollywood star Jennifer Lopez’s role in new Ben Affleck movie Jersey Girl has been ignored in the trailer - because studio bosses are worried cinema-goers will avoid another film starring the Gigli pair.
Jersey Girl is being released in America on March 26 and although Lopez makes an appearance, she is absent from the movie’s poster campaign and only appears for a split second in the trailer. The Kevin Smith comedy stars Affleck as a publicist married to Lopez, who dies early in the film. But Miramax, the studio releasing Jersey Girl, insists the decision to cut J.Lo out of the marketing campaign is consistent with her tiny role in the movie, and has nothing to do with last year’s mega-flop Gigli. Miramax’s Amanda Lundberg tells website Pagesix, “She’s not the star of the movie and the marketing materials reflect her role in the film.â€
- Blender magazine’s movie section runs a small blurb on the film, VERY negative on the trailer’s appearance but seemingly positive on Kevin’s track record. Minor spoiler warning. Click to enlarge.
- We weren’t gonna mention this since it’s passed, but maybe it’ll happen again. Plus, it seems that our Australian fanbase is growing as we got a ton of mail on this! Anyway, last night the Clerks cartoon premiere aired unannounced on Australian TV channel 7. So, if you don’t own the DVDs and live there, you may wanna watch for more. We hear that they might be screening each episode nightly around 1:30 now. G’day.
- From someone who’s gotten an early look, we hear Kevin’s upcoming 20 Questions in Playboy covers a lot of new material that we haven’t seen asked/discussed before. Should be fun to look out for.
- Curious about that question/connection between Green Hornet and The Lone Ranger that won’t be explored in Kevin’s script due to licensing issues? This very fun little page covers that and a whole bunch more from the realm of crossovers.
- Alanis (of Dogma’s “God†fame, yes, THAT Alanis) is coming back into the spotlight with a new album on the way. You can see her on the cover of a new style magazine called “Organic Style†and also as the host of the upcoming Canadian Music Awards.
- And finally today, we saw the below headline and thought for a sec, “Uh-oh! Here comes more controversy!â€. First the Catholic League and Dogma, GLAAD with Jay & Bob, Ben/Jen with Jersey Girl, and now this:
Ingredients in ‘herbal Ecstasy’ could cause seizures
WASHINGTON - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a warning on Wednesday against a liquid product being sold under the names “Green Hornet†or herbal Ecstasy, saying it contained potentially dangerous drugs.
Alright, so, false alarm, but still! Give us a break, here! Read the full piece, if you’re intrigued, HERE and we’ll see ya next time. Thanks for dropping by today.
