HBO has always been the go-to for gratuitous sex, starlets, and scandal, so when "Entourage" exploded on the scene we weren't suprised. Mark Wahlberg first gave us this down and dirty docu/sitcom hybrid in 2004 we weren't suprised. Then we watched it sail through the next two seasons. Shout to Mr. Wahlberg, "Entourage" who about to launch the third season and will start its 20-episode run on June 11th.

Thus far, "Entourage" has introduced us to Vincent Chase (Adrian Grenier), an actor on the verge of stardom. and determined to take Hollywood by storm. Manager Eric (Kevin Connolly), half-brother Drama (Kevin Dillon), and best bud Turtle (Jerry Ferrara) are along for the ride and the free tickets to all of the hottest parties. At the break out star of the show our boy, Ari Gold (Jeremy Piven) Vince's aggressive, high-powered agent, who clashes with Eric over his client's decisions. It's just a few shades away from a National Geographic special on Hollywood's most beautiful creatures, and a few more shades away from reality television. Think of "Entourage" as the American Dream for the under-thirty set. The posse takes down everything from Sundance to Playboy Mansion to star-studded dance-parties with youthful conviction, with fascinating (and occasionally disastrous) results.

Entourage has enjoyed its fair share of attention. Thus far in its relatively short run, the show was nominated for two Golden Globes in 2005 and three Emmys in 2006. Numerous stars have appeared on the show, including Debi Mazar, James Cameron, and Samaire Armstrong. Mandy Moore has even drifted through, playing herself, as a love interest for our man Vince.

With so many accolades already collected, what could be in store for the show's upcoming season? When we left Vince and his boys, life in LA was a little rocky but coming together. The posse was in danger of disbanding. Ari had just been fired from his agency. (The new season hints at marriage counseling and slightly less splendid digs.) While HBO remains secretive about what will unfold in the months to come, one thing is for sure: "Entourage" makes for an enduring, refreshingly entertaining hanger-on. Stay tuned...

The PimpWiz Bottom Line : Marky Mark "done" came up! Respect. And don't think we forgot about the best part of the whole show, Emmanuelle Chriqui.
You could probably convince us to watch that Usher movie just to see her ;-)
