Well hello boys! After what seems like it’s been an eternity, our favorite Entourage is back! And it seems my prayers have been answered that this season is more about the guys and less about Ari! Relationships seem to play a big role this time around with Eric (Kevin Connolly) and Sloan (Emmanuelle Chriqui) still playing the on-again- off-again game. Life is still imitating art as Turtle (Jerry Ferrara) continues his adorable relationship with on AND off-screen girlfriend, Jamie-Lynn Sigler. Vinnie’s career is back on top after filming his successful new Martin Scorsese version of Gatsby, but with all the guys busy cuddling with their hunnies, Vince must stave off the loneliness of hanging solo in his big new mansion by plowing through a different girl every night! And poor Drama still can’t get a girl! BTW… rumors of this season’s celeb appearances are already surfacing. Word is we’ll be seeing by Tom Brady, 50 Cent, LeBron James and Zac Efron! Woo hoo! Let the games begin!
Lifetime premieres a good-hearted, truly funny, new comedy tonight with Drop Dead Diva. When a vapid, wanna-be model Deb (Brooke D’Orsay) dies in a car crash, her spirit somehow winds up in the body of a recently deceased lawyer, Jane (Br ooke Elliott). A brilliant, thoughtful… and plus-size attorney, with a loyal assistant (Margaret Cho), Jane has always lived insecurely in the shadow of her more attractive colleagues. On the other side of the fence, ditzy Deb has always relied on her looks to get by. Now, by a twist of fate and a bolt of divine intervention, Deb’s personality and Jane’s brains combine, but still leave Deb to come to terms with inhabiting Jane’s frumpy bod in the ultimate showdown between brains and beauty!
And we get some funny stuff tonight on Gene Simmons Family Jewels! Gene volunteers Carrot Top to crash a bachelor party in Vegas, Shannon gets the family to spend a little quality time together by throwing a 70’s murder/mystery party, and Sophie must deal with a cheating boyfriend. Well, they do say daughters choose guys who are just like their daddies!
