A Wahlberg-free "Entourage"

Email|Link|Comments (5) Posted by Meredith Goldstein July 10, 2009 02:57 PM

"Entourage" producer Mark Wahlberg skipped the show's sixth-season premiere party in Los Angeles the other night, but his stars seem to have gotten along just fine without him (see a flirting Jeremy Piven with Hayden Panettiere, above).

Wahlberg was a no-show because he's here working on "The Figher," his film about Lowell boxer Micky Ward. The movie, which co-stars Christian Bale, is still in its casting phase. At the moment, Wahlberg and company are looking for women to play ring card girls -- as in, the ladies who wear next to nothing and hold up cards in the boxing ring. If you're 20 to 30 and can pull of a bikini, send a picture and contact information to thefightercasting@gmail.com.

Nobody's perfect, but Timothy is right. Proofread. Proofread. Proofread. The internet shouldn't lower your standards of grammar, spelling and punctuation. Anyway, Entourage is insanely predictable, but I like the premise of New York friends moving to Cali because I moved from Pittsburgh to San Diego years ago to move in with a childhood friend of mine. I roll my eyes as the bad plots reveal themselves, but Piven's great lines keep me from totally cutting the show off. This should be the last season, and Wahlberg probably knew it by not making the premiere a top priority.

I doubt its the last season seeing as how its viewership has been really strong for HBO and HBO doesnt really have much else going for it. Other than entourage and the army mini series that came last year...I havn't really watched much of HBO since the sopranos.
