Entourage: Turtle and Jamie-Lynn House-shopping?

editor@buddytv.com — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 00:22:21 GMT

If, on the season finale of Entourage, the fate of Jamie-Lynn Sigler and Turtle (Jerry Ferrara) looked uncertain, in real life, the two's relationships are peachy, and they have even been spotted house-hunting for properties in the Hollywood Hills this month.

"They have combined their friends and want a great space to entertain," said a source. "No marriage yet, but they are definitely moving in together."

LeBron James Enjoyed 'Entourage' Guest Spot

editor@buddytv.com — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 02:01:41 GMT

Entourage season 6 is long over, but basketball superstar LeBron James said he enjoyed spending part of his summer on the set of the HBO series. Along with James, Matt Damon and U2 frontman Bono appeared on the episode toward the end of the season finale. Entourage creator Doug Ellin said he new James was a big fan of the series and actually called James personally to see if his schedule can permit a little cameo.

"It was perfect timing," said James, who is no stranger to television, having hosted Saturday Night Live. "I just happened to be in L.A. around the time they were shooting the last episode, so I was able to get in."

Entourage: Season 6 Wrap-up

editor@buddytv.com — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 01:50:13 GMT

This season of Entourage was pretty bland if you ask me, especially for main man Vince (Adrian Grenier), who after the Gatsby premier early on didn't have much to do (except of course periodically banging random chicks left and right). It was all downhill plot-wise for Entourage's go-to-guy, and down the road, he was reduced to accompanying friends to STD clinics, going to charity golf tourneys, and worrying needlessly about his security. Damn that monsoon that pushed the production of his upcoming film 12 weeks.

For the finale, though, he flew to Italy to film his next movie, so Entourage season 7, at the very least, guarantees to have more Vince on it. Now if that's a good thing or not, I'm not to keen on saying.

Entourage: Preview of Episode 6.12 "Give a Little Bit"

editor@buddytv.com — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 05:36:19 GMT

On tonight's episode of Entourage, Eric plans a special lunch for Sloan that doesn't go as smoothly as he hoped. So he's back with Sloan after it didn't work with Ashley and another girl who's not exactly a saint? Meanwhile, Ari tries to convince his wife that buying Terrence's company is not a personal vendetta, while Turtle is doing everything he can to get over Jamie-Lynn; until he finally decides to make a grand gesture to win her back.

Elsewhere on "Give a Little Bit" Drama resolves to give up acting for good and turns down a chance to do over his audition (which was painful the first time around) for Melrose 2009. Matt Damon and Lebron James, finally, strong-arms Vince to get involved in Damon's charity. Is it just me or has Entourage been awfully silent on what Vince had been doing? Or maybe nothing exciting has happened to him of late. And no, the break-in and security storyline doesn't count (after all, that proved to be more about Turtle than him).

Entourage: Preview of Episode 6.10 "Scared Straight"

editor@buddytv.com — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 00:08:02 GMT

On tonight's episode of Entourage, E (Kevin Connolly) visits the doctor's office after getting some not so nice news from Drama (Kevin Dillon) about his latest fling. Meanwhile, Ari (Jeremy Piven) investigates Terrance after he surprisingly offers to sell Ari his share of his agency. Finally, Turtle (Jerry Ferrara) prepares for Jamie-Lynn's departure, while Drama's emotions get the best of him during his audition for Melrose Place 2009.

On the last episode of Entourage, the boys started off discussing the merits of thinking about banging another woman if a man has a girlfriend - case in point: Turtle. E wasn't exactly happy with the Ashley situation, because she had a tendency to just go off without telling her what gives. But of course something is always wrong in this paring, because of Sloan (Emmanuelle Chriqui). At least Turtle feels guilty about it.

Entourage: Preview of Episode 6.10 "Berried Alive"

editor@buddytv.com — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 01:57:02 GMT

On tonight's episode of Entourage, Drama "It's Make-up" Chase (Kevin Dillon) will try to get a part on Melrose 2009 and will ask Lloyd (Rex Lee) to get him out of his current gig on Five Towns. Meanwhile, following the latest blowout from his assistant, Ari (Jeremy Piven) goes to war against his former assistant to get Drama out of his contract.

Following their ongoing (and multi-episode, in fact) trust issues, Ashley asks E (Kevin Connolly) if she can read his emails (which I'm sure are all juicy) so that they can have an open and honest relationship. Finally, Turtle (Jerry Ferrara) feels a little guilty about his love triangle with Jamie-Lynn and a UCLA co-ed. This, of course, stems from the sorority prank that was blown out of proportion on the last episode.

Zac Efron on 'Entourage' Among Other Things

editor@buddytv.com — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 00:06:00 GMT

And the cameos start on Entourage.

On tonight's episode of the HBO series - "Security Briefs" - Ari "steals" teen heartthrob Zac Efron from Adam Davis, prompting Davies to offer Lloyd (Rex Lee) a job as an agent, something we all know he wouldn't say no to. Meanwhile, the guys step up their security after a suspicious break-in. Finally, Drama (Kevin Dillon) follows up on an insider tip on Vince's suspected stalker and Ashley grows increasingly suspicious of Eric (Kevin Connolly).

CBS Adds "Breakthrough Performance" to Emmys Telecast

editor@buddytv.com — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 09:51:09 GMT

The Emmys are getting a viral, user-generated component this year as CBS is teaming up with Vaseline to sponsor "Breakthrough Performance of the Year," a category which allows viewers to vote for their favorite TV moments of the year, with the top three and winner being revealed on the primetime Emmy Awards telecast Sunday, September 20 on CBS.

The number of things that are unbelievably stupid and wrong with this decision is astounding. Even if you don't like the Emmys, you have to admit that this decision is actively killing what little credibility the Emmys hoped to maintain.

Entourage: Preview of 6.8 "The Sorkin Notes"

editor@buddytv.com — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 07:18:54 GMT

On tonight's episode of Entourage, Eric (Kevin Connolly) finally agrees to meet with Sloan (who called her on the last episode before the new company douche bag came in) but is utterly confused after Ashley calls him, too. Meanwhile, Andrew suffers a meltdown and puts a big deal in jeopardy. Meanwhile, following the case of the scary underwear thief, Vince (Adrian Grenier) and the guys decide to call in the pros.

On the last episode of the HBO show, it was E's first day in the office, and already he began to butt heads with a particularly snotty douche bag who couldn't get Bob Saget to call him back and talk business. E casually mentioned that they had something, which eventually would come in handy to the douche bag. Meanwhile, Vince and someone who flashed a boob woke up when someone appeared to be in the house. They call 911 but somehow the police came only when the sun was up.

Entourage: No Apologies to Rex Lee, Plus the Embarrassing Jamie-Lynn Sigler Interview

editor@buddytv.com — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 00:11:20 GMT

If you're ever worried that all the name-calling is bringing all kinds of emotional damage to Rex Lee on Entourage, then fret no more. Jeremy Piven, who plays the abuser Ari Gold on the HBO show, revealed that he used to apologize to Lee right after he does or says something horrible to him (most likely involving Zac Efron's balls or something), but stopped because Lee told him to.

"I used to say I'm sorry to Rex Lee, who plays Lloyd, and he would be like, 'Oh, God, who cares?' I do these awful things to him between 'action' and 'cut,' and he just takes it like a champ. I will say that it does all completely pay off this season. I can't tell you more because I'd probably get into a lot of trouble."

Entourage: Preview of Episode 6.7 "No More Drama"

editor@buddytv.com — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 06:31:25 GMT

On tonight's episode of Entourage, Vince (Adrian Grenier) and Turtle (Jerry Ferrara) take drastic measures following a break-in (which Vince heard during the night but willfully ignored). Vince doesn't appear frazzled after the break in, surmising that "she could be a hot fan" while Ari (Jeremy Piven) says "he could be a creepy little freak." Meanwhile, Eric (Kevin Connolly) starts a new job - after the whole hoopla that showed his insecurities. He, however, immediately clashes with a colleague over a client (something to do with Bob Saget).

Elsewhere on "No More Drama," Drama (Kevin Dillon) tries to make amends with a network boss. On the preview, he is shown talking on the phone with Lloyd (Rex Lee), who tells him that because he attacked a high-level studio executive, he is banned on set of his television gig.

Entourage: Ashley's Not Going Away Soon, And Then Some

editor@buddytv.com — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 02:06:39 GMT

If you are sick and tired of what's-her-face (Ashley) as E's (Kevin Connolly) current flame on Entourage, then you're not alone. But alas, more bad news for us, because one more girl will be added to the mix to the detriment of the E-Sloan (Emmanuelle Chriqui) tandem. Mara Kara will play E's new assistant at his fledgling talent-management company, and perhaps his love interest as well.

According to Chriqui, at least, "There's resolution [and] unexpected surprises" for the two. Halfway through the current season of Entourage, however, I seriously wonder when that resolution is coming up. We can at least take solace in the fact that Eric referred to Ashley as Sloan accidentally, and she didn't buy his you're just hearing things excuse.

Then there was that confrontation scene, when she asked him whether she had slept with Sloan since the two started seeing each other (instigated by her not-so-subtle visit to his house and not-to-subtle ploy to score Gatsby premiere tickets). He also lied to her that he hadn't seen Sloan since the premiere, but she bought it, and they make love before his meeting. In the end, we thank our lucky stars for ill-timed phone calls while liars are in the shower.

Jeremy Piven: Everyone Should Try Being Ari Gold of 'Entouage'

editor@buddytv.com — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 01:23:57 GMT

After the successful opening of The Goods, Jeremy Piven said his role in the film very much resembles his very popular alter ego on the long-running HBO comedy Entourage, and not only that, for everyone's sanity, he said everyone should try being Ari Gold.

"I'm so lucky to put on that power suit and whip myself into a frenzy and all that ADD, quick-twitch, wrecking-ball energy," Piven, 44. "The things I get to do, clearing desks and firing people, are incredibly therapeutic. They should have retreats where people go and get to be Ari Gold for a week."

Entourage: Preview of Episode 6.6 "Murphy's Life"

editor@buddytv.com — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 08:50:14 GMT

On tonight's episode of Entourage, Eric (Kevin Connolly) think over a job offer, while trying to rebound from an ill-advised remark to Ashley. Elsewhere, Drama (Kevin Dillon) puts himself between Jamie-Lynn and a notorious TV boss, while Ari (Jeremy Piven) is surprised by an agency visit from Andrew's wife, who, if we can recall, discovered that her husband had not exactly been a picture of fidelity with his assistant.

On the last episode of Entourage, again, not a lot happened as everything took place in a charity golf tournament. It started off with Ashley trying to be all cute with E when Sloan (Emmanuelle Chriqui) very conveniently called to tell him that - surprise - she'd be in the same golf tournament. Ari, meanwhile, was having a hell of a time at home, sleeping at the couch and all, since her wife still hadn't forgiven him for not divulging Andrew's affair to her.

'Entourage' Season 6 Spoilers

editor@buddytv.com — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 01:02:17 GMT

HBO Hollywood-themed series Entourage is currently running its sixth season. Thus far, some folks have commented that not a lot of movement is happening to the guys plot-wise. Several episodes in, Vince (Adrian Grenier), E (Kevin Dillon), Drama (Jerry Ferrara), Turtle (Kevin Connolly), and Ari (Jeremy Piven) seem to be stuck in a rut, but if a bunch of spoilers are to be believed, that's going to end any time soon.

"I think it's a throwback to season one," said Grenier. "We're going to have some good, old-fashioned fun this time." Read to on find out more Entourage season 6 spoilers after the jump.

Piven's New Movie Role Much Like Ari of 'Entourage'

editor@buddytv.com — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 23:11:43 GMT

A couple of days or so before the theatrical release of his movie The Goods: Live Hard. Sell Hard, Entourage star Jeremy Piven says in an Early Show interview, that the character he plays on the upcoming comedy eerily resembles Ari Gold on the HBO show.

"You know what's interesting is that, I think, people that know me from playing Ari Gold will see there are similarities and know that I can handle this character," Piven said. "At the same time, this particular journey that I take, the guy starts out where he can only eat if he's in a strip club. So he's eating breakfast, and he's in a strip club. By the end of it, it's a little bit of a life lesson. You can't be a road dog forever."

Entourage: Preview of Episode 6.5 "Fore!"

editor@buddytv.com — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 00:32:15 GMT

On tonight's episode of Entourage, Vince (Adrian Grenier) and Drama (Jerry Ferrara) team up with Mark Wahlberg and Tom Brady at a charity golf tournament. Also on the episode, Ari's (Jeremy Piven) adherence to his principles gets him in hot water with his wife and a fussy client (somehow culminating in a dog house), and Eric (Kevin Connolly) is surprised by a job opportunity after the last brouhaha with Charlie (Bow Wow).

On the last episode of Entourage, Vince has three months to spare before the film premieres and the suggestions - go back to school (what?) or go to Paris with the guys - didn't really appeal to him, so he just ended up inviting a waitress over, who readily flashed him a boobie after he was having second thoughts on round two later.

Jeremy Piven Says 'Entourage' Movie a Good Idea

editor@buddytv.com — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 00:38:52 GMT

Amidst disparaging comments that the current season of Entourage is not living up to expectations, star Jeremy Piven tells CNN that the HBO series' sixth season will be the "most interesting" yet.

"I kind of have the best arc this year," he said. "The backstage life of Hollywood is such fertile stuff for our show that I think we could continue on for as long as it stays fresh."

Entourage: Preview of Episode 6.4 "Running on E"

editor@buddytv.com — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 05:30:00 GMT

On tonight's episode of Entourage, Vince (Adrian Grenier) tries to search for ways to amuse himself after finding out that production on his next film is delayed. Meanwhile, Andrew (Gary Cole) finally heeds Ari's (Jeremy Piven) advice to break it up with Lizzie. When he tells Ari, however, he's still a little suspicious so he has Lloyd (Rex Lee) keep an eye on him anyway.

Elsewhere on "Running on E," Drama (Kevin Dillon) auditions actresses to play his new love interest on "Five Towns," while Jamie-Lynn takes Turtle (Jerry Ferrara) shopping for back-to-school clothes (he announced his plan to go to business school in the last episode), while a bored E (Kevin Connolly) is still unsure of how to react on things.

'Entourage' Star Rex Lee on HBO's Vlogging Spotlight

editor@buddytv.com — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 00:15:01 GMT

With season 6 of Entourage currently in full swing, HBO is shining its vlogging spotlight on one of the series' most loved but often-sidelined characters - Lloyd, played by Rex Lee. On the show, Lloyd is superstar agent Ari Gold's (Jeremy Piven) abused but resilient assistant who is currently trying to subsist on water and grapes in an effort to show his boss that he's already agent material.

Since Entourage runs for a measly 22 minutes or so, HBO is understandably exploring other campaigns to satisfy the show's fans. One of which is Lloyd's blog on the HBO website, with a recent update on how he deals with Ari's verbal abuse.

'Entourage' Star Says He Has No Problem With Seth Rogen

editor@buddytv.com — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 00:10:24 GMT

On Entourage, Kevin Dillon's Drama said, in reference to the ongoing conversation about Seth Rogen, "Why would you be pissed off? I'm the one who was too good-looking to even get an audition for the role."

In real life, however, the 43-year-old says he has no problem with the comedian, who is currently embroiled in a bitter word fight with Entourage for its July 19 episode where Rogen's "ugliness" was called "oddly fascinating" by Turtle, played by Jamie Ferrara.

Gay Rights Group All Praises for 'Entourage,' HBO Named Gayest Network

editor@buddytv.com — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 00:34:18 GMT

While Entourage's most visible gay character Lloyd (Rex Lee) is currently undergoing a beating from his harsh boss Ari (Jeremy Piven) for his weight, the HBO series is just the same getting praise for its representation of gay characters.

Entourage was one of the 10 primetime shows from the cabler which was chosen as having the best content reflecting the lives of gay, bisexual, and transgender people by gay rights group Gay And Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD).
