in the April 18th episode of Charlie Sheen's "Anger Management" entitled "Charlie and Lacey Piss Off the Neighborhood" Selma Blair's character says she didn't go to prom because she was "smoking pot with Morrissey at the Roxy"

"'I just didn't fancy it,' said Wolstencroft. 'I didn't like the cut of Morrissey's jib and the rest is history.'

I just stumbled upon this in the back catalogue of the talented rapper Shad. The shout out comes a little after 3:50 in but I recommends listening to it all. The song is called Out of Love Part 2.
