Entourage: Let's Blog It Out

By Mark La Monica

In today's world, finding love has been made easier by Web sites such as match.com, eharmony.com and similar sites. Heck, even MySpace counts to some degree.

Finding a lost love has not quite been simplified by the Internet, Google notwithstanding. However, Drama taught us that such specific technology is not too far behind.

He combed the streets of Cannes searching for his Jacqueline using a picture he took on his cell phone. Simple. yet smart. The perfect way to wrap up this season of Writer Props.

(P.S. BPL rules prevented us from awarding the Writer Props to that ice statue in the second Lloyd scene.)

How does Turtle know Kanye West? Who really cares? That scene was hilarious.

Anyone else in that situation would not have been as good. Think of the juxtaposition. On one side, you've got Turtle, a go-fer/driver with no discernible job skills (but we love you anyway, Turtle). On the other, you've got Kanye West, a multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning rapper and producer.

Just plain funny. And just plain Writer Props.

As always, use the comments below to share your thoughts on how Turtle and Kanye West know each other.

Walsh locking himself in a bathroom with whiskey and a gun came close. But we've come to expect such actions from the director gone mad.

Instead, Writer Props this week salutes the inclusion of Ari Gold locking Dana Gordon out of her boss' office while he pitches the new Walsh script.

It was the perfect move for a slimy, lovable agent.

It's such a basic statement among men that this week's Writer Props likely went unnoticed and unappreciated . . . until now.

Early on in the episode, the guys are hanging outside on the deck of their new home when E comes after getting into a car accident with Anna Faris.

Drama believes E doesn't have a chance to get with her and makes a typical male statement about betting the left side of his package to be proved correct or incorrect. We've all said it. None of us mean it.

Then Turtle responds sarcastically, "Gee, there's a bet I'd love to win."

It was a great, original response to a throwaway line we all use. And it begs the question, what happens if you actually win that bet? Or worse, lose the bet?

Ouch.

If old-school WWF announcer Gorilla Monsoon were doing play-by-play of this blog, this is where he would utter his famous phrase of "The irresistable force meets the immovable object."

And really, when Best Printable Line and Writer Props come this close to converging, it's about as earth-shattering as King Kong Bundy going up against Andre the Giant in "The Colossal Jostle" at Madison Square Garden in September of 1985.

Will the person or persons who sat in on the creation of this episode and said, "Let's put Turtle in a giant pink bunny outfit" please show yourself immediately?

You are in need of being interviewed. And we are in need of paying postage to send you your Writer Props for this week.

Ranking high among Ari Gold's many brilliant acts of lunacy, anger and tyranny is his firing of the mailroom kid in Season 2.

Ranking high among the Entourage creators' many brilliant acts of lunacy, anger and tyranny is the mailroom kid attempting to fill in for Lloyd as Ari Gold's assistant in Season 4.

I had been hypothesizing this week that Harvey somehow copied the "Medellin" trailer during his screening with E and leaked it on YouTube to get back at the boys for shafting him yet again.

The Entourage writers had a better idea. That's why they write the show and I write about the show.

Gangsta-rapper turned G-funk rapper Snoop Dogg cruising through Barney's and trying to determine the proper way to pronounce "Cannes." ("Cons" vs. "Cans")

Two words: Wrizzleter. Prizzleops.

Now, if only asksnoop.com still existed! For those of you in the know, pour a little out with me for our shizzolating homies. For those of you not in the know, google "ask snoop" and then get mad.

As Ari Gold approached the door late at night in Oxnard, Calif., I was expecting a cameo bomb to be dropped. Something like Erik Estrada, or Luke Duke or a reasonable facsimile thereof.

Then as the plotline developed and the housewife's husband pulled into the driveway, I was expected the driver of that car to be someone such as Judd Nelson or, again, a reasonable facsimile thereof.

No such luck.

Just two random people with no star power. Great call. Writer props!

Entourage

By Mark La Monica

It's about time TMZ.com, a Web site that "covers" celebrity life in Hollywood, made its way into "Entourage," a cable sitcom based on celebrity in Hollywood.

And the fact that Drama wasn't the butt of the joke made it even better. That would have been too easy. Writer Props!

Did anyone catch Turtle's line at the end of show when they paused the video? Brilliance. Not repeatable here. Actually, it might be repeatable here, but I think the bosses are back from vacation this week, so why push it to the limit?
