Entourage Review: "The Big Bang"

Looks like there's trouble brewing for Vincent "Don't Hate Me Because I'm Beautiful" Chase.

Nah, not really, he's just unhappy because the 'Vanity Fair' story was completed and apparently Sophia struck a nerve. I mean, all she did was tell the world he's as deep as a puddle - correction: an insecure, womanizing puddle - and he freaks out. What's wrong with that? I'll tell you what's wrong with that, Sophia. Nobody messes with our Vince! You basically called him stupid to his face, then you tried to use your fancy accent and your sophisticated finance-y words to distract him from it. It was the old "Look Over There It's My Super Important Brilliant New Interviewee...And Something Shiny, Look!" move. It's the oldest trick in the book. Well we're not buying it, Sophia, and now you've gone and given him a complex about it. Nice job.

Making Vince Beautiful

In truth, she's probably not wrong that Vince isn't exactly the hard-hitting relationship type, but that doesn't mean he's not capable of one. It also doesn't give her permission to mock him about it to his face, that's cold. At least he'll look good on the cover of the magazine, though - the man can rock a tuxedo.

Elsewhere on "The Big Bang" Ari had it out with Bobby Flay...again. Is it me or was that the first time they've ever revealed Mrs. Ari's real name? When he called her 'Melissa' I almost dropped the remote. It's been so secretive for so long that I thought for sure it'd end up being something more exotic, like Shakira. Or Beyonce.

Ari better start calling in favors, or set up a lemonade stand - pronto - or else he may lose his company. On the one hand, I'd like to see his wife show a shred of decency and not try to destroy him financially. But on the other hand, I'd like to see him get creative with bailing himself out. It would've been amazing if Beverly D'Angelo's character had been the one to give him the cash, but maybe I'm just partial to her because I have a soft spot for National Lampoons movies, who knows? Either way, let's see less of Mrs. Ari and her "barbecuing boy toy" and more of Dana Gordon. I like Ari too much to see him so sad every week.

In other news, if Scott knows what's good for him, he'll heed Eric's threat and drop Johnny Galecki as a client (it would help if E were a little more intimidating in stature, but still...) Not that having him off the roster will keep Sloan from finding out E boldly went where HER FATHER has gone before, but at least it'll prove a point. Then we'll really see who's the bigger man in Hollywood. My money's on E, since it's been years since Johnny Galecki bedded Darlene Conner, and does anybody even really watch The Big Bang Theory anyway? Didn't think so. I can't lie, though, I'm pretty excited to see what happens when Sloan finds out about Melinda Clarke. I think she could take E in a fight if it came down to it, and it might.

As for the Turtle story line, I think it's Doug Ellin's way of fitting in as many celebrity cameos as possible this season, which is kind of cheap, but mostly awesome (if a little gratuitous at times). Rumor has it Amar'e Stoudemire and Mark Teixeira will be making appearances down the line. Not that David Spade doesn't cut it, but the more big clams Don Peppe's brings onto the screen the better! Also, Turtle's really cute when he gets excited about something, so I hope the restaurant takes off. 

Billy on Entourage

Finally, we have Johnny Drama and his motley crew of supporters. It's no secret that I'm not Dice's biggest fan, but I have to hand it to him for going with his gut and getting himself and Drama the compensation they deserve. I guess this means Billy can afford to put maple syrup on his table now (nice touch using his kids for sympathy, by the way) and also that Dice can afford a nicer apartment. Which he should buy immediately. If all goes well for Drama, he could be back in the television limelight again soon. We're all rooting for you, Drama. We're also alll (or at least I am) rooting for Lloyd to put in a little more face time. I was pleasantly surprised to see him in the fold again this week, but I won't be totally fulfilled until the man gets a spin off of his own.

I'm sure we won't get to the point in the plot where Vince films 'Airwalkers' before the end of this series, but perhaps we can see the following: Lloyd conquer the television management world, E reunite with Sloan (or kill each other, whichever comes first), Ari find love again (Team Dana!), Drama's series take off, Billy wear a pirate costume again (pretty please, it was awesome), and Turtle become LA's foremost culinary entrepreneur. But really, I'd settle for Lloyd getting his own series. Just saying.

Sofia Coppola & Thomas Mars? Wedding In Italy

Congratulations to Sofia Coppola and Thomas Mars! The two were married Saturday in Bernada, Italy, in front of 80 family and friends. George Lucas was among the star studded guests to witness the nuptials. The couple, along with their daughters, were spotted in the Italian town earlier this week, ahead of their wedding on Saturday. Her gown? A beautiful lavender number designed just for her by Azzedine Alaïa. Simple, yet elegant. Her husband wore a dark blue suit and looked quite handsome! Leonardo Chiruzzi, the mayor of Bernalda, was the officiant and told the Associated Press, “Everything went well. It was simple, calm, in the garden.” The Palazzo Margherita was the setting for their ceremony, the historic property turned into a luxurious family villa owned by her father, famed director Francis Ford Coppola. He, of course, walked his only daughter down the aisle. Following the ceremony, a reception was held in their honor where the menu included roast pork, fish, pasta and served with wine made from the family’s farm. A vanilla cake decorated with white flowers finished off guests’ palates. Other guests that were on hand to celebrate the couple’s marriage were Sofia’s aunt, Talia Shire, and Johnny Depp. [...]

Who can match Gérard Depardieu's alleged airborne pee? | Open thread

The actor has been accused of urinating on a plane floor ? tell us the most appalling things you've seen fellow passengers do

Oh Gérard. The French colossus has outraged public decency by apparently failing to distinguish between art and life. While Gérard Depardieu has been lauded for a filmic oeuvre that includes mutual masturbation with a cousin and glamorises illegal immigration, delinquency and worse, he allegedly pisses in one little bottle on a plane, misses a bit, and the world is shocked.

Who will walk with Depardieu in his hour of shame? We will. What is the most outrageous, embarrassing, indecent, or plain wrong thing you have witnessed another passenger ? or, ahem, yourself ? doing on public transport?

?30 Minutes or Less? loaded with comedy heavyweights

If you?ve read Trashwire for any length of time, you know I love the cast of 30 Minutes or Less. We?ve had articles about Jesse Eisenberg?s star-making turn in The Social Network, several about Danny McBride adding flavor to any movie and even an interview with Nick Swardson. As hardcore fans of these guys, I saw the movie from a different perspective than most critics. The plot, based on a true story, is about pizza guy Nick, played by Eisenberg. He?s basically a loser, stuck in a crappy job racing to deliver pizzas in 30 minutes or less?hence the title. We switch away from Nick to meet Dwayne and Travis (McBride and Swardson). Dwayne is the son of a lottery winner who treats him like the loser he is and Travis is Dwayne?s sidekick. Like a grown up Beavis and Butt-Head, these two like blowing stuff up and seeing boobs, but ...
