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.

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.

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.

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 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.)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We weren’t the least bit surprised to learn that Jeremy Piven was the cause of the salary stand-off that’s holding up the “Entourage” movie. He seems to be a lot like his scheming character Ari. However, there ARE extenuating circumstances, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Jeremy was originally the highest paid actor on the TV series and he did earn several Emmys. He was first to sign for the movie and got a lot more money than the others. The other guys want to be paid closer to what Jeremy is getting but the movie budget won’t allow it so they are disgruntled. They ARE expected to back down simply because everyone DOES want to get the movie made.

Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau popped up in the unexpected hit “Swingers” in 1996 and became stars overnight. Favreau wrote the script about five wannabe actors looking for love and partying in LA during the swing dance revival. One of our FAVORITE movies, it went on to inspire Mark Wahlberg to do “Entourage” as a TV series. In fact, the Vince character in Entourage was named after Vaughn! Having noted Wahlberg’s success, Vince has been pestering his buddy Jon Favreau to write a “Big Chill” style reunion for the five guys, now in their mid-forties, from the original movie. (They want Heather Graham back, too.) According to Radaronline, the only obstacle is that they insist on having the original director Doug Liman direct this movie, and he wants a ton of money.

Britney Spears’ handlers must be rather nervous about her headlining a huge Las Vegas extravaganza. On December 27 she starts her three shows a week schedule and the pressure is enormous for her. To make her feel more secure they’ve hired a massive entourage to be with her at all times and attend to every detail, She has a chef, a personal trainer, an assistant, a driver, a voice coach, plus hair, makeup and wardrobe people, and extra security – for the first time in her career. Everybody is there to make sure she is ready and able to perform.

Jeremy Piven looks absolutely delighted with himself and he should be. He just finished filming the “Entourage” movie in which he reprises his role as the abrasive Ari Gold. (Actually they filmed some scenes in our LA neighborhood.) On the other hand, his mini-series “Mr Selfridge” is now being shown on PBS and the second season is as good as the first. He plays a whole different kind of character. We happen to LOVE the story of the creative American from Wisconsin who founded the London department store in 1909 and changed retailing forever. Can’t WAIT for Sunday night!

Adrian Grenier is in Miami working on his tan after finishing the Entourage movie, which is set for release next summer. When Adrian plays his passive but handsome character Vincent Chase, he always has a great haircut and cool clothes. Off-duty, Adrian is a lot more casual – often sloppy. The whole cast is back for the movie version of the TV series and we hear Jeremy Piven is better than ever as Ari Gold. Entourage and Sex & the City are two of our all-time favorite series, and we look forward to seeing these guys working Hollywood again. Click HERE to watch the Entourage trailer.

We loved watching Entourage on TV and couldn’t wait to see the movie, despite negative reviews. What a letdown. The naïve wide-eyed young men who just arrived in Hollywood from Queens were gone. We could no longer identify with them because success had turned Vinnie and his pals into those self centered white men who celebrate excess and male privilege in Hollywood. Ego, money, and trophy women were all that mattered. Almost all the guys became as obnoxious as Ari Gold and HIS overacting was unbearable. The F word was in almost every line of dialogue – have never seen ANY movie with more F bombs. Even Jessica Alba awkwardly hurled several in her brief cameo. Jessica Alba! In fact EVERY guest star used the F word repeatedly. The guys we liked on TV had morphed into first class sexist jerks. Success has obviously gone to writer/director Doug Ellin’s head and he’s turned into a real life Ari Gold. It’s not pretty.
Afterthought: The movie’s opening credits were awesome and photography was exceptional.

Jeremy Piven knows that carrying a cute little dog can make anybody seem more appealing. The Mr Selfridge star (we loved that series!) has been having popularity problems. He was accused by a number of unrelated women of groping, inappropriate behavior, and sexual misconduct of all sorts. Jeremy became outraged and flatly declared that all charges were false and completely fabricated. He claimed all the women were opportunistic – seeking fame and money. Nobody was happy with THAT response, and coincidentally or not, his 2018 series Wisdom of the Crowd was canceled.

Entourage star Jeremy Piven posted a heartbreaking photo of his beloved French Bulldog Bubba today, with the announcement that his dog “died in his arms and it’s hard to stop crying.” It’s impossible not to cry WITH him. Over the past year we’ve seen dozens of photos of Jeremy and Bubba getting coffee, having lunch together – they were inseparable. After Jeremy had all those sexual misconduct charges, lost his TV series, and called himself “collateral damage of the #MeToo movement, Bubba remained his loyal and constant companion. So sad…

Kevin Connolly has long aspired to have a directing career, and while filming Entourage he directed some music videos and eventually a few episodes of the series. When his series ended he went on to direct other TV shows and short films. Imagine his excitement when he landed his first job directing a feature film! Unfortunately, that movie happened to be John Travolta’s pet project Gotti. It was a GIGANTIC flop- Rotten Tomatoes gave it a ZERO rating! Poor Kevin has been struggling to find work ever since…

Life goes on and the Entourage guys are actually growing up and settling down. Kevin Connolly, 46, played “E”- Vincent Chase’s best friend, and when the show ended he sought directing jobs. He got a few, but in 2018 he directed the gigantic flop Gotti with John Travolta which was a career disaster for both of them. Last year a costume designer accused Kevin of sexual assault at a wrap party. He insisted it was consensual. Now things seem to be looking up because Kevin’s girlfriend, Colombian actress Zulay Heneo, 41, is expecting their first child in a few months. Fun fact: Zulay and Kevin are the same height: 5’5.”
