Turtle and E spill the beans about Entourage
Have you been jonesing for the entourage from Entourage? Do you need a little Ari Gold to get your blood flowing? Well, new shows aren’t coming back until September (thanks to the writers’ strike), but HBO is giving fans a chance to enjoy the most recent shows starting tomorrow, July 4th. Every Friday at 10 p.m. (ET) on, HBO will replay season 3: part 2, and season 4.
That’s good to know — especially in these dog days of summer TV — but if you want to know what’s going to happen next, read on. Both Jerry Ferarra and Kevin Connolly, Turtle and E, got a little chatty with OK! magazine’s Oliver Coleman.
If you don’t want to know how things are going to unfold in season five, don’t read after the jump.
Jerry was very enthusiastic about Entourage’s new season, so much so that he spilled the beans about some crucial plot points. For starters, Vince’s big film project, the biography of Colombian drug czar Medellin — the one in which he invested his own money — is not the blockbuster hit the guys were counting on. In fact, as Ferarra said, “The movie…was kind of a bomb at the Cannes Film Festival and it pretty much picks up this year with the aftermath of that.”
How bad does it get for Vince and Johnny and Turtle and Eric? Really bad. “The guys are very much in trouble financially, it’s not like the old Entourage where they had everything at their finger tips. I mean they do still have their normal connections, but it’s a little bit of a struggle.” Turtle actually has to go out and get a job, which knowing Turtle, that could be dealing weed. Does Weeds’ Nancy Botwin need a distributor?
After OK! got Jerry to blab, the reporter was intrepid and caught up with Kevin Connolly who figured that since the cat was out of the bag, so to speak, he’d give away a few more plot lines from Entourage’s upcoming shows. Even as he acknowledged that he was probably going to tick off the folks at HBO, KC revealed, “The film doesn’t do well and [Vince’s] career is at a low, and in the immortal words of Ari Gold, he’s in ’movie jail. So it’s all about getting his career back on track.”
I love it, movie jail. Could this mean that Vinny will have to deign to do — dare I say it — a TV series? Wouldn’t that be terrific, Vincent Chase on a CSI-type forensics show, CSI: Seattle? Or maybe he could become the next McHotty on a Grey’s Anatomy-like medical drama?
Any thoughts from the peanut gallery on the right show for Vincent Chase?

Eastwood and Spike Go to War!
Clint Eastwood and Spike Lee are bickering, and we’d suggest the directors take the high road but they might just use it to get a better shot at each other.
To catch up: At the Cannes film festival last month, Lee said if reporters “had any balls” they’d ask Eastwood why he didn’t include any African Americans in his films based on the battle of Iwo Jima, Flags of Our Fathers and Letters from Iwo Jima. Aside from suggestion that Cannes reporters are eunuchs, Lee was also promoting his own war film, Miracle at St. Anna.
Eastwood responded that he was being historically accurate about the make up of the soldiers who raised the flag on the island, and added that “A guy like him should shut his face.” Sounding stung by Lee’s criticism, Eastwood, whose next film The Human Factor is about South African rugby and Nelson Mandela, also added, “Yeah, I’m not going to make Nelson Mandela a white guy.”
Lee’s latest salvo was a mixture of sugar, saying Eastwood is “a great director,” and spice, saying Eastwood sounds like “an angry old man.” Despite adding that “we’re not on a plantation,” Lee announced he was going to end the feud with “peace and love.”
Cool. So, does this mean he’s going to apologize to the Cannes reporters, too? They’re a pretty sensitive bunch.
In any case, what do you think? Is Spike right? Or Clint? Or should they both get back to making movies and stop insulting each other?

Natalie Portman Makes Time For Romance in Cannes
Natalie Portman Makes Time For Romance in Cannes
Sure, she’s the youngest member of the 61st Annual Cannes Film Festival jury, but that doesn’t mean Natalie Portman is all business all the time.
The “V for Vendetta” actress was spotted taking some time off of her judging duties to do a little canoodling with her boyfriend Devendra Banhart, as well as her pet pooch earlier today.
And last night was all about romance for the “Garden State” hottie. Portman was spotted having dinner with Devendra at Cannes hot spot La Mirabelle.
According to witnesses, the two lovebirds were very public with their displays of affection, reportedly holding hands and kissing throughout the meal.
