Entourage: Let's Blog It Out

Two weeks ago, I asked readers to help me do my job and submit questions for me to ask the fellas at the "Entourage" Season 5 premiere in New York on Wednesday night. You did just that, and I did my best to work them in as much as possible.

Most of the questioning in this video was taken directly from your submissions. Sometimes, you just don't know what will make the final edit and what won't. But there are shoutouts to all those who sent in their questions in the closing credits, so I greatly appreciate all that you do to make this blog an enjoyable endeavor.

This is the main video from the night, and there are three earlier posts that include an interview with Bow Wow, a hilarious conversation with "Jacqueline" and some random funny moments. Enjoy them all.

(P.S. We apologize in advance for the lighting during the Kevin Dillon interview. It was HBO signaling it was time to wrap up the all the interviews.)

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?

Emmy Award nominations hit the masses this morning and there were few surprises in the "Entourage" camp.

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).

Kevin Dillon has a part in the Jan. 16, 2009 Dreamworks release "Hotel for Dogs."

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.

* Remember the Sundance episode where Vince races the boys down the slopes? He does it in real life, too.

* Happy-go-lucky Vinny Chase takes an evil turn as Adrian Grenier plays the villain in "Adventures of Power," starring Honey Brothers bandmate Ari Gold (no, not that one). The film showed at Sundance.

* HBO on Broadband will allow viewers to download episodes of "Entourage" and other shows to their computers.

* Emmanuelle Chriqui landed a role in "Cadillac Records," the story of Etta James, who will be played by Beyonce. A nice score for us fellas!

* For those still curious about the life of "Entourage" in this writers' strike era, understand this: there's an HBO Entourage party planned at the Super Bowl. It's at Myst on Feb. 1. That can't be a bad thing, right?

* The Honey Brothers will perform at that party.

* If you want to dress like Johnny Drama, you'll need to pick up a pair of New Balance classic 574s.
