Entourage: Let's Blog It Out

* Thank you, GQ! Peep the latest issue of the men's style magazine on newsstands this week for a smokin' hot photo shoot with smokin' hot Emmanuelle Chriqui. Regular Entourage blog readers know about our special affinity for Sloan, and we're begging for a return arc on the show. Please!

In the meantime, here's a funny little story about our favorite Emmanuelle courtesy of the Daily News. If that doesn't make you want to move to Malibu, or start a new career as a photographer, nothing will.

After reading that, head over to GQ.com for more photos. And then peep your head below for the video, compliments of my new favorite magazine Web site.

* Adrian Grenier and his Reckless Productions company joins forces with investment group J. Loar Inc.

* Though we haven't heard an official word from HBO, Kevin Connolly suggests in comments to the New York Post that "Entourage" will indeed be back in 2009 for a sixth season.

Here's a little Q&A with Adrian Grenier from The Guardian over there in the U.K., compliments of Intrepid videographer friend Bobby.

Some interesting takes on stuff.
