Getting Into Character: Freshly Shorn Adrian Grenier on Entourage
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, Cable, HBO, Entourage, Gossip,
It’s. About. Freaking. Time.
Although I have enjoyed many things about Entourage, there is one thing that’s always bothered me: Adrian Grenier‘s hair. I have never understood why women would throw themselves at a man with a mop like that.
Well - based on these pictures of Grenier on set of his HBO show in Los Angeles, it appears a change has finally come. Now if they could just tame Vincent Chase’s eyebrows…
Season 7 of Entourage will begin later this summer.

Conan O’Brien Finds a New Home on TBS
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Late Night, Talk Shows, Cable, News,
UPDATE: Turner Entertainment Networks President Steve Koonin says “[Conan] can do whatever he wants to do” on TBS.
Conan O’Brien’s going to have a lot to talk about when he kicks off his road tour tonight.
Despite many assumptions that the former Tonight Show host would eventually form a new home at FOX, the comedian has decided to take show to cable. Come this November, O’Brien will become the new face of TBS.
The new late night program will air at 11:00, a decision that George Lopez - who will see his show Lopez Tonight moved to midnight - is perfectly fine with. In fact, Lopez personally called O’Brien to assure him of that. “I can’t think of anything better than doing my show with Conan as my lead-in,” Lopez assured fans. “It’s the beginning of a new era in late-night comedy.”
