BOP Daily News

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.






There is such a thing as being too big a fan of the movie Crash. Such is the case with the chauffeur for Sean Penn and Robin Wright Penn. The driver was confused by the complicated layout for the Notting Hill area of London, and wound up steering their car the wrong way on a one way street. The result was a head-on collision with an oncoming vehicle. The Hollywood couple escaped from the accident uninjured, allowing them to continue filming Wright Penn's next project, Breaking and Entering. When told to be more careful with his driving in the future, the poor but perfect farm boy turned driver said, “As you wish.” I knew I should have married Westley instead.





Not that there's anything wrong with that. Jay, Silent Bob and God are all poised to guest star on Degrassi: The Next Generation August 26th. That’s right, BOP fave Kevin Smith is living the dream by finally appearing in the show which features girls who say the word ‘aboot’, and he is bringing his pet Mewes along for the ride. Dogma deity Alanis Morissette will also appear as a Canadian principal in part two of the three part series finale. Meanwhile, Smith and Mewes are shown filming Jay and Silent Bob Go Canadian, Eh! Ever the Degrassi diehard, Smith is quoted by Reuters as being excited by the appearance. “The plot of the movie within the show is so funny, it almost makes me want to shoot the flick for real.” BOP plans to force the issue by creating a release schedule page for the film later this week. Once it’s on the schedule, you have to make it, Kevin. Them’s the rules.
Perhaps worried that BOP has begun to favor Brooke Shields, Tom Cruise has made a play for our attention again today. That zany scientologist has stopped lecturing glib Matt Lauer long enough to begin filming Mission: Impossible 3. Cruise and his latest one true love, Katie Holmes, hit Tiber River in Rome as principal photography finally began on the oft-delayed project. The news is not all shiny for Cruise, though. The Vatican denied the production’s request to film inside its walls. The decision was (correctly) based on the overwhelming fear that God would smite the unbeliever, thereby reducing the holiest of temples to rubble. See, the Pope doesn't know. He hasn't studied this stuff!
Pitt's symptoms included a strange craving for human blood and aversion to daylight. Angelina Jolie might be the most beautiful woman in the world but due to her *ahem* exotic romantic history, there are intrinsic risks in attempting to romance her. Brad Pitt may be discovering this fact, as Mr. Fight Club finds himself sick enough to require overnight hospitalization. Details are sketchy about whether this is a case of bad clams, bad acid or bad penile bacteria but Pitt has received treatment for flu-like symptoms. BOP suspects this is just Pitt making a cry for attention from Jolie since she has been so wrapped up in her new adopted child.









""He's got flu-like symptoms."

"Honesty, Dana, who doesn't?""
