I hope you will all forgive me if I digress from the usual commentary for one moment to make an important albeit prurient observation Jeremy Piven should definitely lose the shirt more often Underneath those fitted suits and trendy ties the guys sporting some serious bod Okay now back to our regularly scheduled G-rated bloggingI have decided how I am going to make my fortune and I hope you will all support me in my endeavor I am going to self-publish a book of wisdom from the one and only Johnny Drama I know it has best-seller potential From tonights episode alone Johnny taught us that in families if one person hates someone everyone has to We also learned that the universe can be extremely vindictive in the face of success Thinking that he was in on the joke with the Pauly Shore hidden-camera show Dramas verbal assault on Ultimate Fighting Champion Chuck Liddell was full of bravado and death-defying fearlessness Who else but Drama would threate

Now playing Vince's sexy new agent on HBO's Entourage (returning Sunday at 10 pm/ET), Carla Gugino talks to TV Guide about hanging with the boys, working with Pauly Shore and her secret talent. Hmmm....

Ari, ousted from his plush office in the superb next-to-last episode, takes a client meeting — who knew Richard Schiff yearned to be a tough guy? — at a Coffee Bean shop. (What, Starbucks was too common?) Speaking of common, what a riot that Johnny Drama's louse of an agent — the kid who helped get Ari fired — is such a bottom-runger that when Johnny barges into his office, he's taking a meeting with the execrable Pauly Shore. Eric, as usual, is in way over his head, taking a meeting with Ari's supersmarmy boss Terence, who advises the kid to become an agent and "invest without emotion," as if clients were commodities like stocks.
Which is why Ari's final-appeal meeting with Eric was so well-timed. Ari
