Entourage
¶ 11:45 AM 
I have been a big fan of the HBO show Entourage since it started last season, and now it seems like it is really catching fire. Check out this article on it in the NY Times:
In its sophomore season, the fizzy, insidery comedy about Vince and his "entourage" from Queens trying to make it in Hollywood has hit its stride, much the way "Sex and the City," the previous HBO sensation about four friends in search of fabulousness, free stuff and booty, did in season two. The Aug. 7 episode was the most-watched show in the series's history, according to Nielsen Media Research.
All of the actors are great, but the character of Ari, played by Jeremy Piven (Dean Pritchard in Old School) is absolutely brilliant. Ari is one of the most outrageous characters on TV today. In the most recent episode, it comes out that he gives away imitation artwork, pretending it is the $100k original, and had the numbers on his wife's Mercedes switched so she thinks she has a higher series than she actually does. The guy is ruthless, and hilarious. I highly recommend the show if you haven't seen it.
