Entourage Available on iTunes

After four years on air, Entourage fans will finally be getting another way to watch the cable series.

As of today, Seasons 1 and 2 of the comedy have already been available to iTunes users. The third season will hit the online market on August 18; the fourth arrives the week after that.

If you’re hoping iTunes can spare you from subscribing to HBO, you may be out of luck. If you want to watch your episodes in a timely fashion, you’ll have to cough up the dough. While Season 5 will eventually be available for download, it won’t be placed online until the DVD’s release.

Mark your calendars for the crew’s return on September 7.

Entourage fans, the long wait is almost over. Although we’ve grown accustomed to seeing our Boys of Summer sometime in June, last year’s writers strike forced us to endure more reality fare than anyone should be subjected to.

Those of you - like me - who’ve been waiting to renew your HBO subscription, here’s a teaser you’ve missing.

Topping the noms for drama programs was newcomer Mad Men; NBC’s 30 Rock lead all comedy programs. In total, HBO was the most-nominated network while ABC came in second.

HBO Fills Fall Schedule

Posted by Veronica Santiago
Categories: Cable, HBO, Entourage, News, Renewals

As if I didn’t have enough TV to watch during the fall season…

Earlier today, I was informed that two of my reasons to love the summer have sadly been taken away from me.  Thanks to the writers’ strike, several HBO programs normally enjoyed during the off-months will now have to fight for space on my Tivo much later this year.

Shows affected by the production delay include Big Love, Entourage, Flight of the Conchords and new drama True Blood.

I’m not sure what to do with myself.  I guess I might actually have to take a vacation now.

Lindsay Lohan is used to grabbing headlines and seeing her name in the tabloids, as every dating exploit the actress has recently engaged in has been reported by every media outlet available. Now, rumor has it that Lohan has hooked up with a Paris Hilton ex.

Reportedly, Lohan and Entourage star Adrian Grenier recently enjoyed a romantic, mid-week date. Gossip also says that just last month Lohan was seen at Grenier’s apartment, though Lindsay was also spotted kissing three separate guys during a New Year’s celebration. Sources say the two are trying to keep their relationship “private.”

• Damages and Longford led the pack with 4 nominations each.
• James Gandolfini and The Sopranos were both left out of the races (though Edie Falco did get a nod).
• Three of the nominees for best TV Comedy (Entourage, Extras, Californation) came from pay-cable networks.
• Past faves (Desperates Housewives, Heroes, Ugly Betty) were nowhere to be found.  (Though America Ferrera did earn a nod for her individual achievement.)
• HBO led the networks with 18 nominations; ABC was second with 11.
