Where's your entourage?

There's nothing quite like premium cable. Only one thing could tear me away from 4 hours of Olympic montages and anorexic female gymnists and that was HBO's entourage. The show is so enjoyable I thought I'd give you five reasons why it's worth 30 minutes of your Sunday night and undoubtably $30 of your monthly cable bill for HBO:

Five reasons why kicks ass:

1. Good actors from movies and TV. Every character is spot-on and delivers with wit and realism.

2. An idea that's never ending. The plotlines and character expansion are endless. The show can cover the star's life from fame to burnout and even revival...each episode just builds more depth.



3. Jeremy Piven. He was the cool guy in "PCU", the cool friend in "Grosse Point Blank" and the incredible asshole in "Old School" His character in the show is hilarious and either makes you cringe or bust out laughing...sometimes both. He's the guy we love to hate, but secretly look forward to seeing implode.


4. It's Marky Mark's brainchild--what could go wrong? HBO's even announced a second season for the show.


5. Celebrity cameos. It's like in "Sex in the City" without all that unnecessary SJP voice-over stuff.
