BOP Daily News

August 31, 2004


The spirit of BOP News lives on in
This is So Last Week,
our pop culture week-in-review,
presented in a pleasing quiz form.






Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson, who last starred together in the largely forgettable Starsky and Hutch, will star in Outsourced, a comedy by new writer Timothy Dowling for Columbia Pictures. The project is about an American factory that is shut down and moved to Mexico, which prompts two men from the production line to venture south of the border to get their old jobs back. Man, will this parade of anti-Bush films never end? The perfect man to take Craig Kilborn's spot on late night TV





So easy on the eyes Speaking of which, actress Rosario Dawson was arrested in New York City on Sunday afternoon while filming during a political rally. The Men in Black II star was shooting scenes for the new film This Revolution during a demonstration against President George W Bush when she and two filmmakers were arrested. Dawson is now being charged on two counts of disorderly conduct and one count of second degree obstruction of government administration. The actress and her two crew members were released hours later. They have been ordered to appear in Manhattan Criminal Court, New York, on November 9. This is sooo not like Puff Daddy getting arrested.
Kevin Smith will be making a sequel to his first film, Clerks, entitled The Passion of the Clerks. Smith, whose audience has seen his Jersey trilogy become a five-picture marathon, will revisit the convenience and movie stores that made him infamous, then famous. All the original cast will be returning to the project, which will focus on what happens when the slacker indifference you have in your early 20s carries into your 30s. But mostly, the film will be about dick and fart jokes. Not quite as hot as Rosario Dawson









"In a row?!"
