Here’s an actor we wouldn’t have recognized even if we ran smack into him on the street. Adrian Grenier no longer resembles the A-list movie star Vincent Chase that he played so well on the TV series Entourage. He’s got a lot more hair and maybe a few pounds.

Kanye West rules his career and business with an iron hand and that includes telling his entourage how to dress. Kanye’s taste has evolved through the years and he insists that the people around him reflect his current predilection, according to Merle Ginsberg at The Hollywood Reporter. Right now he happens to be into black designer clothes (Barneys specialty) and he had his on-staff stylist make over the whole team, whether they like black or not. No one’s complaining because Kanye pays for all their designer clothes. We assume that goes for Kim, too.

Los Angeles might be the yard sale capital of the world. The weather is perfect and there are lots of green outdoor spaces to have a sale. Entourage star Adrian Grenier is moving and he had a lot of stuff to get rid of, so he had a yard sale this Sunday at his Los Feliz home. He playfully bargained with shoppers, played with their dogs, and generally got his asking price. Adrian plans to invest the profits in his organization that promotes eco conscious living.

Looking slim and dapper, Jerry Ferrara, who played Turtle on Entourage is no longer the slow one. (Although we could live without the sneakers.) He’s living it up in New York with his pretty girlfriend Alexandra Blodgett. And he’s keeping busy in Manhattan filming the movie “Think Like a Man” with Chris Brown.
Andrew Dice Clay, 54, says he’s “back” thanks to his appearances on “Entourage.” He admits his career was dead for the last decade but now he’s performing in stadiums again. After being short of cash for a long time, Clay himself was surprised when he turned down a $100,000 offer from “Wife Swap.” Too bad – it might have been fun. Last year Clay got married for the third time – to 27 year old makeup artist Valerie Vasquez, (above) whom he met at the Playboy mansion. Outspoken Clay is noted for his racist, sexist, homophobic rants – we wonder how long it will take for him to rub the current “politically correct” public the wrong way.
Nothing beats a great pair of before and after photos. Jerry Ferrara, who plays Turtle on “Entourage” has lost 55 pounds since the show’s first season in 2004. He lost it slowly – two or three pounds a month – by improving his eating habits and getting more exercise. No radical diet or workout programs. (Photo right: Jerry was photographed in a swimsuit on Season Five of the show, and the photo on the left was taken this weekend in Malibu.)
Much has been written and discussed about the last season of Entourage and the Hollywood Reporter had a particularly fascinating reminiscence from the creator/writer Doug Ellin. He said “The (Adrian Grenier) character is named Vince because of Vince Vaughn. It sounds crazy now, but nine years ago when I first started writing the script, I was like “Do you think we could get Vince Vaughn? It was done completely as an homage to the guy.” Come to think of it –“Entourage” bears a striking resemblance to one of our all time favorite movies “Swingers,” starring John Favreau and Vince Vaughn. (A group of cool, aspiring young guys navigating Hollywood) And now that “Entourage” is going off the air – how about a TV series based on Swingers?
Nothing is done without fanfare in P Diddy’s world. Four gigantic black Escalades pulled up on Santa Monica Blvd in West Hollywood and Diddy and his entourage of 10 mostly big guys piled out. They browsed the street and Diddy walked into O!burger – an organic burger restaurant- and he ordered an organic beef-burger to go. (FYI-It IS probably the best burger in West Hollywood.) Diddy left with a flourish, and several of his pals waited for his order, paid for it, and delivered it to Diddy in his Escalade.
Other sites are starting to notice that Jerry Ferrara has changed a lot since his pot smoking chubby character Turtle started on Entourage. He lost LOTS of weight (inspired by his exgirlfriend Jamie Lynn Sigler) and he has more women than he can handle. Of course WE told you all about this last April.
Jerry Ferrara has changed a lot since he started on Entourage playing “Turtle,” the chubby pot-smoking slacker. We spotted him outside the Fig & Olive restaurant in West Hollywood and the clean shaven actor looked slim and cute and he was happily posing for photos with pretty girls who were making a big fuss over him. Like Sex & the City, fans don’t want to let go of their “friends” on Entourage. The TV series is ending after season 8 and it looks like a feature film is in the making. Executive producer Mark Wahlberg is convinced there is more story to tell, and so are we.
