What was I doing curled up on the floor in the back of the Boom Boom Room, frantically scribbling on the back of a receipt last night? I got a surprise chance to interview Entourage star Jeremy Piven over the phone and this was when he called, of course! Piven, who plays neurotic movie agent Ari Gold, tells us about the end of of his long running TV show and what's coming up in his career. More»

In case you didn't have a Google Alert set for "Kanye West + Hitler," you might have missed the latest salvo in the admittedly talented rapper/producer's attempt to do something so mind-bogglingly obnoxious that the universe instantly collapses in on itself. Performing this weekend at the Big Chill music festival in the UK, Kanye embarked upon one of his signature "I'm so brilliant and misunderstood" whines, which culminated in an extraordinary moment.

Signs that your swanky L.A. restaurant/nightclub is circling the drain:

1) The customers and partygoers begin to disappear.

Crazy things are happening in the world. Justin Timberlake is trying to make MySpace cool again. News of the World is finished. Casey Anthony is straight waltzing out of jail next week.
