Again, fans, you're looking at least three years down the road, seeing how HBO just made the official announcement that "Entourage" will get a fifth season next summer. Of course, you could have inferred that fifth season re-up by reading our interview with executive producer/writer Rob Weiss last week.

Still, it's worth a read.

He gave us Turtle Bunny.

He gave us Dom.

He gave us many of the Best Printable Lines we champion each week here (and quite a few of the best quotes that we can't reprint here.)

He's Rob Weiss, an executive producer and writer on "Entourage."

Weiss, who grew up on Long Island before moving out to Los Angeles, dialed into our "Entourage, the blog" offices this week for an interview. I asked him a bunch of questions. Some of those questions were mine, some were the ones you emailed me. He answered them all.

Saigon, everyone's favorite rapper from "Entourage," will be part of the Black August Hip-Hop Project 10th Anniversary party at the Nokia Theatre in Times Square on August 26.

Mos Def, Talib Kweli and Dead Prez will also be there.

No word on whether Drama will be dangled from the top floor of the Nokia.

Some things in life simply are not even close to being fair. Topping this week's list: the image below.

If you are man enough to eventually open the magazine, you'll find an eight-page spread of Ms. Biel. Reportedly, two of those pages contain words worth reading.

And now that we've all got Jessica Biel on the brain, don't you think she'd be a great cameo on the show?
