Entourage to the Silver Screen?
Happy Saturday. I have no television in my house, because DirectTv is switiching out my receiver, so I’m stuck missing football and writing about Hollywood.
Great!
The latest buzz from the left-coast has the minds of Entourage planning a movie. The hit HBO show, which follows a movie star and his “entourage” friends through Hollywood, is being
considered after it’s next two seasons.
“We’ll see, there could be more [seasons],” Series executive producer Mark Wahlberg said. “But then, a movie.”
The last time HBO decided to turn their shows into films, the movies grossed over 800 million dollars worldwide, with the success of “Sex and the City” and the two Sacha Baron Cohen films “Bruno” and “Borat.” All of which put movies back twenty years.
I’m excited to see what they can cook up. I’ve been an Entourage fan since the beginning. It’s a pretty accurate portrayal of the celebrity life working in Hollywood…so I’m told at least.
Speaking of celebrity lives, let’s see how Chris Brown is doing. The singer, even though he’s busy with community labor and his 52 week counseling program, still finds a way to make songs. His latest, “Changed Man” is the latest to cause a stir. In the song he sings, “I might have cheated in the beginning…Sorry I bust the windows out your car.”
Hey, guys make mistakes. I put a dent on my old man’s Volvo when I was a kid. He forgave me for it. Rihanna says she’s on the fence, she hasn’t even listened to the song. Good for her.

But Brown says that isn’t the case.
In his interview with 20/20: “I mean, I’m not trying to call her any liar or anything like that. But I played the song for her when I first wrote it. And she cried.”
Let’s say she did cry, what the hell does that prove? Probably, that Chris Brown is an individual that shouldn’t even be in public, let alone making music only to rectify his public image and subsequently profit off the abuse of another woman. That’s just my two cents. Maybe I need to listen to “Changed Man” before I can really form an opinion.
Last and arguably the most least today, is Nicholas Cage. You remember him don’t you? He’s looks like the creepy guy in his mid 40’s with a receding hair line and a face that seems to change shape with every film, but he used to be the bad ass in every Michael Bay movie, back when Michael Bay made movies where only humans blew stuff up.
He was given the United Nations Humanitarian award and was appointed goodwill ambassador for the office of drugs and crime. Apparently, they never
saw “Lord of War.”
Good for him though, he’s donated 2 million dollars to help former child soldiers and raise awareness around international arms control. Apparently, even he hasn’t seen “Lord of War.” It’s good to see someone being recognized for their work in the international community, as he phrased it, “shining a light on global justice.” He certainly earned it. They just don’t give away awards for this kind of thing, just as President Obama.
