Entourage is shooting all over town these days - Jeremy Piven was filmed driving the guys around West Hollywood in a black car. They stopped for a short break and Adrian Grenier ate a peanut butter sandwich while Jeremy drank coffee, made a phone call, and had his hair touched up by his stylist.
Jeremy Piven enjoys his powerful role as the ruthless agent Ari Gold on Entourage, and he's not above putting his own two cents into casting the show. On a recent weekend, Jeremy rode the Planet Hollywood private jet from Las Vegas to Los Angeles, and he sat next to Whitney Houston. They started chatting about Entourage and Jeremy suggested that it would be fun to have Whitney make an appearance on the popular show. Whitney liked the idea. Jeremy was overheard calling a producer and telling him about Whitney as soon as the plane touched down in LA.

Is it a TV show filming or is it real life? Photographers and tourists went bonkers on Rodeo Drive when the guys from Entourage were seen walking down the street together, just like they always do on the series. Could they be filming a segment for the show in all that chaos? Certainly - they're all dressed like their characters.
Ron Burkle had a birthday party for P Diddy over the weekend and some new couples formed during that warm California night. Entourage's Kevin Connolly obviously has a thing for tall blondes because he was deep in conversation with Cameron Diaz all evening. They were holding hands when they left together...
Speaking of Entourage, the pretty actress who played Kevin Connelly's girlfriend on the show, Emmanuelle Chriqui, showed up at the party with HER new boyfriend, basketball star Baron Davis. Baron has a business partnership with Jessica Alba's boyfriend Cash Warren, so they probably double date a lot.
Amy Winehouse's record label is getting tough and they ordered her to get rid of all the hangers-on and drug dealers in her entourage. One reason she moved out of her home was to get away from these moochers. In cutting off these former friends, she also had the daunting task of getting rid of her longtime hairdresser Alex, and that was not easy. They've been pals for years and he's partly responsible for her famous beehive, but insiders say he was a negative influence drug-wise. Amy is still reporting for daily sessions at the clinic, but her Blake Incarcerated is giving her a hard time. He doesn't like her socializing and tried to protest by cutting out her name tattooed on his skin. The drama never ends.

We were surprised to spot Adrian Grenier in the massive crowd of thousands that turned out for LA's Museum of Contemporary Art opening over the weekend. (The ultra exclusive party thrown for patrons and celebrities happened the night before.) The bearded Entourage star and his low key friends blended in with the mob scene without calling any attention to themselves. And he did seem to be in awe of the modern art collection on display.
Entourage's Lloyd (Rex Lee) had a secret meeting with - not William Morris - but Morris the cat, behind his boss Ari's back. Actually, Rex is a cat lover and he's doing something nice for animals - he's backing 9 Lives' Morris the cat's Million Cat Rescue crusade. Morris, a shelter cat himself, has succeeded in getting 500,000 cats adopted since the campaign started. Pretty impressive. We don't know if Rex adopted any of them, but we appreciate his support.
We've established that Britney Spears' muscular companion is really more than a bodyguard. And less than a boyfriend. Actually, there's no romance, but the guy has many talents - he's a bodyguard, a manny for the kids, and most important of all, he keeps the people he's working with OFF drugs. While Britney was staying at the Four Seasons Hotel, her right hand man had his own bedroom. And it happens Kevin Federline is relieved to know the guy is keeping an eye on Britney and the kids.
Most dudes, being evaluated by their contractors, wouldn't fare as well as Adrian Grenier. While Adrian's filming Entourage in LA , he's remodeling his new Greenwich Village apartment in NYC. For several months Adrian will be filming or performing with his band the Honey Brothers so he has to approve each step of the home improvement via digital photos in email. The guys doing construction sent pictures of the new kitchen cabinets they installed, but they were the wrong color and NOT what Adrian ordered. Adrian didn't flip out - he simply pointed out their mistake and they realized he was right. They redid the cabinets and Adrian gave them a bonus. He's a dream client.
Entourage star Adrian Grenier's character Vincent seems to LOVE living the LA lifestyle on the show, but in real life Adrian's not so thrilled. He's got a place in Manhattan and considers that to be home. He prefers New York girls and living in the city. Adrian asked the show's producer Mark Wahlberg if the show could be moved to NYC - or at least spend half the time there. Mark told him no, the show is doing TOO well in LA to change a thing. Adrian couldn't argue, so he's resigned himself to the fact that he'll have to spend more time traveling back and forth to the east coast.
Entourage has been filming at Franklin Towers in Hollywood for the past weeks and the high-rise residents and both fascinated and annoyed. Sewer repairs in the building's driveway were put on hold just for the filming. The lobby was blocked for four hours to film a scene in which Kevin Dillon gets into the elevator. Much of the filming is being done in the penthouse - naturally it's noisy and there are lots of people and huge pieces of equipment being rolled in and out. We love this photo of Jeremy Piven hamming it up in a scene with the deliciously subtle Rex Lee.
