Entourage: Let's Blog It Out

By Mark La Monica

The exchange was exquisitely simple and profoundly true.

"Let's get hammered," Vince said to E at some random high school party during episode two.

"With high school kids?" E responded.

"We'll make their night," Vince said.

So true. America is enamored by celebrity life and, as marketing and advertising people will gladly tell anyone who will listen, teenagers set the tone for what's cool and hip.

I'm wondering if life can imitate art.

With the high school graduation season about to kick in, I'm strongly leaning toward rounding up my crew -- Joey Jitsu, Dirty Cash and Yogi (hey, we need an old man in the group) -- rolling into some backyard parties and pulling a VIncent Chase pulling an "Almost Famous" in the second episode of "Entourage."

There's no doubt my entourage and I would kick it up a notch, but there's one minor problem: we're just an entourage. Lower case e and no quotes around it. None of us are famous, almost famous or even close to being close to almost. We're household names . . . in our households.

It's always a sad moment when reality kicks your dreams of grandeur in the groin. Alas, we're left with free time and some imaginations.

What if i were a high school student? Who would I want to swindle their way into my graduation party so I could score serious bonus cool points and have a great story to tell later in life?

Hmmm, so many things to consider. Do you pick the hot famous chick and dream the impossible dream? Or, do you pick the great music group to drop a backyard impromptu concert so everyone can rage? Or do you recruit a pro wrestler to beat up the kid who used to stuff you into a locker after every gym class? Or, do you go the Reggie and Jay way and find the trail the big movie star guy to help get you in good with the ladies at school?

Rule out the first option since with today's tabloid coverage, Gawker Stalker and camera phones, there's absolutely no way you'd get Lindsay Lohan or Jessica Alba alone "to talk."

The band idea has potential but comes with extremely high backfire potential, kind of like when the hot golf PR girl shot the puck into the net in "Happy Gilmore."

The pro wrestler idea is good, but there some external concerns and they include buzzwords such as "premeditated" and "first-degree."

So we're left with finding the cool guy to help us score with the ladies. You could stalk the actual Vincent Chase, Adrian Grenier, but then you lack originality and that's a major no-no.

The pick here is Colin Farrell. He's a big-dog movie star. He's good looking. He's a bad boy. At the track, they call that a trifecta and it pays big. And he's known as a guy who knows how to party. He could stand on the garage with a Solo cup in his hand and incite the crowd. And all that does is make you look cool because he vouged for you. It's sort of like Johnny Depp being accepted in "Donnie Brasco" because Al Pacino was a respected gangster in the movie.

If you've got Colin Farrell telling that unattainable high school girl that you're a cool guy to hang out with, lock and load, kid. You may not have been voted most likely to succeed, but every girl will want to sign your yearbook. Or your pecs.
