Jack Black’s new film, Be Kind Rewind, is plagiarized! From a Nickelodeon show, of all things!

Slime recipient/movie star/funnyman Jack Black (DreamWorks’ upcoming animated feature Kung Fu Panda) will host Nickelodeon’s 21st Annual Kids’ Choice Awards, Saturday, March 29 (8-9:30 p.m. ET/PT) — “where Hollywood meets the slime” — live from UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion. Black, who helmed in 2006 and was doused then with the green goo, reclaims the reins at the 2008 “mini-Oscars” event where kids honor their favorites from the worlds of film, music, sports and television in a star- studded live telecast (tape delayed for West Coast). “We couldn’t be happier that Jack is back to host Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice, and we’re looking forward to seeing what he’ll do for an encore on the show,” said Marjorie Cohn, Executive Vice President, Development and Original Programming, Nickelodeon and an Executive Producer of the telecast. “Kids adore Jack, and his energy and unpredictability are a perfect fit for KCA. Last year’s 20th milestone show broke records, but with Jack’s energy and unpredictability we’re expecting more surprises and more slime than ever before.” (more…)
