Entourage: Let's Blog It Out

We're getting closer and closer to the Sept. 7 premiere of Season 5 of "Entourage," and I'm more fired up at the end of this sentence than I was at the beginning.

To further whet your appetites, I decided to rank the "Women of Entourage." (Hey, I was bored working on stuff for the DNC and this seemed like a fun way to pass the time.

I factored in overall beauty and sexiness and their roles on "Entourage." The only qualification for consideration was that they weren't allowed to play themselves on the show. (Otherwise, this list would just be Jessica Alba, Scarlett Johansson, Jamie Pressley and Mandy Moore.)

Longtime Let's Blog it Out readers already know the No. 1 gal without having to scroll down. Click the photo for a close-up view of these hotties.

10) Malin Ackerman as "Tori"
Hmmm, a hot blonde down for a threesome with Sloan and E? C'mon! It's almost as unfair writing that as it was watching it.


9) Bai Ling as "Li Lei"

She may be a little whacky in real life, but she's also dirty hot and and she beat up Johnny Drama. That's a nice double-double.

8) Lauren London as "Kelly"

Quite the gorgeous gal, this Lauren London is. Tough dad, though. Yet, she did almost get Turtle to reveal his first name.


7) Carla Gugino as "Amanda"

Powerful businesswoman. Smoking hot. Willing to put the two together. Damn, I need an agent!


6) Leighton Meester as "Justine Chapin"

She was hot in Season 1, then blew up and got hotter on "Gossip Girl" and now returns to Season 5 of "Entourage." Set your TiVos and DVRs for when she's on.


5) Beau Garrett as "Fiona"

Insane, even by normal standards, but Lord, remember when she dropped the robe?


4) Perrey Reeves as "Mrs. Ari"

If only I could get away with writing the four-letter acronym that we use to describe hot moms!


3) Holly Valance as "Leanne"

The Perfect 10 model from Jamie Pressley's party might actually be hotter than Jamie Pressley.


2) Johanna Black as "Staci"

Bob Saget said it best: "She's a thoroughbred!"

1) Emmanuelle Chriqui as "Sloan"

This should come as no surprise to see Sloan atop this list. We're fairly certain we'll love her forever. By the way, word on the street is we'll see her once or twice this season, too! God bless America!

HBO released the first official photos for Season 5 of "Entourage" on Friday afternoon. Have a look.

The first photo below has the potential right now, full scene unseen, to win at least two Joshie Awards this season. Take a look at the background and then notice who is conspicuously absent from the photo.

Yeah, that's going to be a great episode!

OK, what if I could show you another photo from Season 5? Would that be something you might be interested in?

Yep, that's going to be another gem!

Had enough yet? No? OK, fine. Let me serve a nice little "Entourage" Season 5 photo gallery for you to enjoy. Are 25 photos enough to get you rolling?

Pretty neat stuff here, my dear readers.

Props to Blog reader lainiek for the tip on this. It's the opening scene to an episode, presumably the Season 5 premiere.

"Medellin" doesn't fair so well on Phillips and Roeper. More importantly, Long Islanders and New Yorkers (and Charles Wang) will love the product placement involving E's T-shirt.

Barring any unforeseen snafus, we'll be on the red carpet for the New York premiere of Season 5 of "Entourage" on Sept. 3.

I'll be holding the microphone and saying things into it, then hoping the stars of "Entourage" return the favor. All the while, one of my boys will be holding the video camera.

So here's your chance to help me do my job. Got any questions you want me to ask? I'll do my best to get them in (you never know how much time you'll get with the actors, especially since we're just a little ol' blog - an awesome little ol' blog, but a little ol' blog nonetheless -- and not a television station).

I'll even try to name-drop for you if the question is really good.

Fire away, my dear readers, and let's see what I can come up with for you.

Seriously, how much longer until Sept. 7 at 10 p.m.?

I thought I'd be OK with having my summer Sundays free, but now I'm just a grumpy old man every Sunday at 9:59 p.m.
