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!

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?

"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.

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.

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.

Once again, Kevin Dillon tests the strength of his work as Johnny Drama against Jeremy Piven as Ari Gold in the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy category. It would be grand to see Dillon win this time, if only for the high probability of a "Victory" chant. The competition is tough in this category: Neil Patrick Harris ("How I Met Your Mother"), Rainn Wilson ("The Office") and Jon Cryer ("Two And A Half Men").

"Entourage" is also in the Emmy running for Outstanding Comedy Series, up against defending champ "30 Rock," "The Office," "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and "Two and a Half Men." That is some stiff comp right there.

That about does it for the TV awards you'll see handed out Sept. 21 at the Nokia Theater. Other Emmy nominations for the show are:

• Dan Attias for Outstanding Directing For A Comedy Series (Episode: No Cannes Do).

• Steve Morantz, Dennis Kirk and Bill Jackson for Outstanding Sound Mixing For A Comedy Or Drama Series (half-hour) And Animation (Episode: Adios Amigo).

So, there I was, staring at the HBO press release, the celebrity guest star paragraph to be precise.

Three words jumped out at me: golfer Phil Mickelson.

Sure, I had already written about his appearance. But now I started to think more, and these wirds jumped into my head:

In real life, Kevin Dillon is the son of a golf coach and knows how to play golf. Mickelson is notorious for collapsing on Sundays at major championships. Johnny Drama has a meltdown every other scene.

So here's my uneducated guess (I have no inside information on this script, which is why this post is field under the Fun & Games categories) as to what we might be in store for:

Who would win the match? Tough call. Who would have the bigger meltdown? Again, tough call.

Let's hear your thoughts on it.

My apologies for getting this to you on Friday, but I was swamped with all kinds of other things on Thursday. I know, I know, "Entourage" should take preference over those things, and it usually does, but since this wasn't too earth-shattering news for regular readers, I figured it would be OK.

Plus, most of you should have been out partying on Thursday night and then stumbling into work late on Friday, so now seems like the right time.

It's a 12-episode season which will take us up to Thanksgiving. It picks up where it left off with the boys struggling to survive after sinking all their money into "Medellin."

Guest stars include Leighton Meester, who returns as Justine Chapin. Also on the previously reported guest star list: Bow Wow, T.I., Jamie-Lynn Sigler and Phil Mickelson.

Add to that list Fran Drescher, Lukas Haas, Kevin Pollak, Martin Landau, Paul Ben-Victor, the cast of "The View," Mark Wahlberg, and these two gems -- Eric Roberts and Tony Bennett.

An insider on Entourage: Let's Blog It Out's non-existant payroll who has read most of the scripts so far says we're in for some outstanding episodes this year.

If someone out there has the skills to build me a countdown ticker, I'll gladly post it on the blog. I'm fired up, folks. Get ready.

Victory!

Early reports have the pride of Jericho (the Long Island town, not the defunct TV show) playing herself and a potential love interest on the show.

Now comes the fun: Guessing the plot line.

I have no inside information on this (at least not yet), so I'm just taking a shot in the dark and letting my mind roll with it. I suggest you do the same in the comments field.

I'm guessing her storyline is intertwined somehow with the New York episode. It's too obvious for her to get with Vince, and given her image as anything but a Hollywood floozy, E seems like the logical choice.

However, that's almost too obvious. Consider Doug Ellin's history here. Most guest spots somehow make fun of themselves one way or another. So, the guess here is that Turtle will visit the "Meadow Lands" in some sort of late-night rendezvous at the W Hotel or The Surf Lodge in Montauk.

Again, it's a crazy scenario but anything is possible. Let's hear what you got.

Finally, the boys are coming home and it's about damn time!

Any chance they read my script idea from two seasons ago about a New York homecoming episode? I doubt it highly, but it's fun to dream the dream.

Would "SATC" open the doors for "The Sopranos," "Entourage" and other hit HBO series to go on the big screen?

Mark Wahlberg, in a recent interview with MovieFone.com, hints that there's a movie or two in Entourage's future.

Will it ever happen? Who knows. But I do know I'll be Fandangoing my tickets weeks in advance.

It looks very kid-friendly, a role we're not used to seeing from our beloved Drama. However, his cameo in this newly released trailer is outstanding. It appears the fake mustache he donned in his "Medellin" cameo went over big with the producers of this flick.

Enjoy.

* This is a week old -- hey, I was on vacation in Hawaii and Vegas -- but in case you hadn't heard, Bow Wow has a recurring role as a stand-up comic in season five.

* According to GoErie.com, pro golfer Phil Mickelson has a guest spot in an upcoming episode of "Entourage." Consider that "Entourage" guest stars tend to make fun of themselves (OK, so the writers and producers make them do it). Then consider that Mickelson is notorious for collapsing in big moments of major tournaments. Oh, this has the makings for some hilarious television.
