Entourage: Let's Blog It Out

By Mark La Monica

Already nominated for seven Emmys at next month's award show, here comes more shine for the cast of "Entourage."

Jeremy Piven will be presenting at the 59th annual Emmy Awards on Sept. 16, executive producer Ken Ehrlich announced today. The rest of the cast will also be presenting an award.

No news as to which awards they'll be presenting, though. But let's hope we get a few snarky comments from Piven, sort of like when he crushed Billy Bush on the red carpet two years ago at the Emmys.

This is so far off in the planning distance, much less the making stages, but in an interview of MTV.com, Jeremy Piven hints at his interest in making an "Entourage" movie.

Again, fans, you're looking at least three years down the road, seeing how HBO just made the official announcement that "Entourage" will get a fifth season next summer. Of course, you could have inferred that fifth season re-up by reading our interview with executive producer/writer Rob Weiss last week.

Still, it's worth a read.

He gave us Turtle Bunny.

He gave us Dom.

He gave us many of the Best Printable Lines we champion each week here (and quite a few of the best quotes that we can't reprint here.)

He's Rob Weiss, an executive producer and writer on "Entourage."

Weiss, who grew up on Long Island before moving out to Los Angeles, dialed into our "Entourage, the blog" offices this week for an interview. I asked him a bunch of questions. Some of those questions were mine, some were the ones you emailed me. He answered them all.

You guys and gals rock! As if you didn't already know that.

And as if you didn't already know this Entourage blog kicks some serious patoot (damn those BPL rules!), July 2007 will go down as a glorious month on our calendar.

With 67,513 hits to the blog last month, we set a new "Entourage, the blog" record.

I promise to keep rocking and rolling if you promise to keep reading. Let's go for 80,000 next month. Tell your friends. Tell your parents. Heck, read my stuff every day, again and again. Really, I don't mind.

Victory!

The release date is set for Aug. 14. Pre-order the CD now at Amazon. Throw some Ds on it.

Saigon, everyone's favorite rapper from "Entourage," will be part of the Black August Hip-Hop Project 10th Anniversary party at the Nokia Theatre in Times Square on August 26.

Worth looking into tickets, just to say you did.

Mos Def, Talib Kweli and Dead Prez will also be there.

That is worth purchasing tickets, which are $30 and go on sale July 26 through Ticketmaster, 631-888-9000.

No word on whether Drama will be dangled from the top floor of the Nokia.

Benicio Del Toro held up fictional production of "Medellin."

Turns out, playing Pablo Escobar wasn't good enough for him. Now, we know why, thanks to the AP. Click the jump to find out.

Some things in life simply are not even close to being fair. Topping this week's list: the image below.

If you are man enough to eventually open the magazine, you'll find an eight-page spread of Ms. Biel. Reportedly, two of those pages contain words worth reading.

After you're done punching yourself in the face four times per picture, man up a bit more and turn to page 151 and read Johnny Drama's thoughts on golf.

And now that we've all got Jessica Biel on the brain, don't you think she'd be a great cameo on the show?
