Sloppy Seconds: Brad Renfro Dead at 25, Dane Cook on Jessica Alba's Porn and the End of RENT

Posted by Emily Farris

We feel bad putting someone's death in Sloppy Seconds, but it needed to be noted and we didn't see him in much other than The Client. Anyway, Brad Renfro died at the young age of 25 and it's really sad. (Scanner Bryan interjects here to say he's clearly going to have to make a copy of Bully for Scanner Emily.)

After Jessica Alba said that her movie with Dane Cook, "Good Luck Chuck" turned out to be porn, Cook fired back "She's watching some really silly-ass porn."

After Nine hundred thirty thousand, one hundred eighty minutes, RENT finally closes.
