"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.
