Perhaps you heard this week that Mark Wahlberg would be
taking a big shit in a multiplex near you
producing an Entourage movie, and exclaimed to the coffee-stained pages of your unfinished Odysssey-with-housecats screenplay, "BUT WHY?? I miss Party Down! Will this negatively affect the progress of the Party Down…
Yeeeeah! Oh, yeah! Today in your dreams coming true, the Entourage movie has been officially green lit. Are you excited? You're excited, aren't you? Vinny's gonna do the movie, you guys! LLOYD, GET IN HERE. VIN'S GONNA DO THE MOVIE.
Unfortunately, The Year That Love Died appears to be extending into 2013: Actress, vocal feminist and possible Kentucky senatorial candidiate Ashley Judd and her husband, three-time Indy 500 winner Dario Franchitti, are divorcing after eleven years of marriage, which is like a golden anniversary in celebrity years.

Princesses are supposed to be the pictures of grace and propriety, but apparently one Saudi princess didn't get the memo. She tried to sneak out a Paris hotel in the middle of the night without paying the six million euro bill she'd racked up. (That's nearly 7.5 million American dollars or, as it is more formally…

At Sasha Grey's book launch, everyone seemed very impressed by the pornstar-turned-actress's courage. "She's brave," said one attendee. "Very brave," said another. "I think she's...open to things other people are not."

"A hapless man in his mid 20s....who lives in New York City" who, "throughout the series, constantly finds himself in increasingly awkward situations in both his work and personal life." Sounds like... almost all of HBO's bromance-y series lineup.

Catching up on Sunday's episode of Entourage, I was struck by yet another conversation that feels like it was pulled from Sex and the City. Do Entourage writers and producers just raid the past script archives at HBO?
