…AND THEN A PUPPY DIED OF BRAIN CANCER

America, I am disappoint.

Not only has Entourage been picked up for a sixth season, it seems they’re planning two more and then an Entourage movie.  That’s right, an Entourage movie.  I wonder if Turtle will shop for shoes lol!

At the “Lovely Bones” premiere last night in New York, Wahlberg told me that there are two seasons left of “Entourage” on TV. And then? “We’ll see, there could be more. But then, a movie.” [THR] [see also WarmingGlow]

So, that’s two seasons of Entourage, then an Entourage movie.  Then locusts, then pestilence, dogs living with cats, etc.  And as if to put the dinglecherry on this sh-t sundae, the news came from none other than Roger Friedman.

While we were talking in the Oak Room at the Plaza Hotel after the movie — in a party so full that it would have welcomed Washington’s Salahi’s  [*rimshot*] — Wahlberg must have greeted two dozen friends. The nice thing was, there was no nuttiness. He is the epitome of down to earth and accessible. There was no “entourage.”

“Are they friends from Boston?” I asked.

Wahlberg shook his head. “All my friends from Boston are either dead or in jail,” he replied. He’s said it before, so I asked: “They can’t still be in jail after all this time?”

Wahlberg didn’t hesitate. “The stuff they did, you don’t get out of jail.”

Wow, that’s deep, bro, and could you pass the paté?  I got dry toast points over here.

NUMBER 1 DVD IN THE COUNTRY IS… 12 ROUNDS

Written by Vince Mancini / 07.09.09

(He fills those gloves with Vaseline to keep his hands soft for Big Show)

If watching round-the-clock Michael Jackson coverage and reading the stories about a planned View-Master movie have brought you dangerously close to losing faith in humanity… you probably shouldn’t read the DVD charts.

The top-selling home video release for the week ending July 5 was 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment’s “12 Rounds,” an actioner that was one of the last films from the now-shuttered Fox Atomic division, launched two years ago to produce low-budget theatricals aimed at teens.  The film also managed to snag the No. 1 sales spot with estimated unit sales of fewer than 150,000 discs, according to Home Media Magazine’s market research department.

And yes, 12 Rounds was that movie starring a WWE wrestler that combined a they-kidnapped-John-Cena’s-wife plot with a madman-toys-with-the-police plot.  I think they may have even squeezed some torture porn in there.  Man, if that was number one, what was number two?

“12 Rounds” was followed on the sales chart by HBO’s season five TV DVD set of “Entourage,” which debuted No. 2 and sold nearly 87% as many copies as “12 Rounds,” albeit at a much higher list price. [THR]

Well sure, I can see that.  I saw an HBO first-look at Entourage the other day that said, “The boys are really growing up this season – Turtle has a girlfriend.”   It’s amazing, she likes shoes and hats too!  Oh my gosh, which A-list director should Vince work with next?  Let’s discuss this by the pool!  Haha, now Johnny Drama’s working on his tan.  Classic.

SUPER HALF-ASSED OTHER STUFF ROUNDUP

Written by Vince Mancini / 06.16.09

Brüno posed for GQ.  I dunno, these pictures seem kinda gay. |more pics here|

Paramount bought Honey Pot, from Liz Meriwether, the writer of (not making this up) Sluts and F*ckbuddies.  Plot is described as “what happens when a bunch of hot, funny women get their ‘Bourne’ on.”  I can’t wait for her next film, A Penis Entering a Vagina.  |Variety|

Leonardo DiCaprio is attached to a script about Costa-Rica based online casinos, from the writers of Rounders.  In related news, Brett Ratner is attached to a script he spilled Kool Aid on.  Seriously, can someone help get him unstuck?  That was the only copy. |THR|

Don’t believe the hype about Tarantino being asked to cut 40 minutes from Inglourious Basterds, yo.  Though to be fair, they could trim it by at least 10 minutes just by removing the extraneous letters.|ThePlaylist|

Yeah, you’ve probably already seen this, but I’m always up for a good Entourage bashing. “Dude, but there’s hot girls in it!”  Hi, I’m internet porn, have we met? |CollegeHumor|

This is a really scholarly and erudite review of James Franco’s poetry-influenced student film, and what I took away from it was that it shows a dude getting poop smeared on his face. |Movieline|

And just for fun, 8 Popular Movie Titles Over the Years. |ScreenJunkies|

REAL LIFE ARI SIGNS REAL LIFE VINCE

Written by Vince Mancini / 09.25.08

Welcome to Xanadouche

It’s fairly well known that Jeremy Piven’s Entourage character, Ari Gold, is based on Entourage exec producer Mark Wahlberg’s real-life agent, Ari Emanuel. In a move many are calling “totally meta”, Emanuel’s agency just signed Adrian Grenier, the actor who plays Vince on the show and whose character is based on Wahlberg.

Reached for comment, Brett Ratner said “Got Milf?  Let’s hug it out, bitch!” and laughed like an idiot.

IRON MAN’S POOL PARTY IN DUBAI

Written by Vince Mancini / 08.18.08

The lovely folks at Access Hollywood (is that the one with the guy from Sugar Ray?) were nice enough to send over this deleted scene from Iron Man, which will be on the DVD when it comes out next month.  /Film describes the action so I don’t have to:

The three-and-a-half minute sequence shows what happens when Tony Stark wants to throw a last minute party at his house in Dubai. This sequence gives an answer to a plot hole some had, because Stark can’t fly from California to the Middle East in the suit, as it would be technologically impossible. There is also a cameo from Ghostface Killah. For those who don’t know, the members of Wu Tang are supposedly big comic book fans, and one of Ghostface Killah’s aliases is “Iron Man” and sometimes “Tony Stark”. The scene also provides Stark with an alibi for his work in the Middle East incident.

Excessive pool sequences, random cameos, bad porn dialogue – are you sure this isn’t an outtake from Entourage?  I’m surprised Brett Ratner didn’t show up to offer Tony Stark a part in Rush Hour 5
