Entourage.....The Ending no One Saw Comming


          "You guys are right, im officially insane" these are words I never thought I would hear come out of Vince’s mouth. Vince of course is the established Hollywood star actor played by Adrian Grenier on the HBO hit series Entourage.  Being that I watch Entourage pretty much religiously I tuned in anxious to see the season finale and how they were going to end what in my opinion was a mediocre season.  The finale did not just meet my expectations they completely blew them out of the water.

          The show open's with Vince missing and all of his friends and family in panic mode trying to find out where he is.  Vince had never been someone who would just go missing without telling his entourage, which of course includes his two best friends from childhood and his brother Jon.  There were then some of the infamous celebrities sightings including Drew Brees, Ryan Howard and Christina Aguilera to name a few.  The second to last scene was the highlight for me when Vince is in a hotel alone and gets told that Eminem is having a party downstairs.  Vince goes down to the party and when he starts mouthing off at everyone, including Eminem himself, and he gets the beat down he deserves.  In the very last scene Vince is shown in the hospital with blood dripping down his face when two police officers walk in with a bag of cocaine and ask Vince if this belongs to him.  WOW!

          The ending absolutely blew my mind.  I took me a while to even comprehend what had just happened. In a show that seemed to sugar coat ever aspect of Vince's life in the past they finally showed the real negatives of living under the spotlight.  Ending on such a negative note is something that almost all television shows do not do and I was so relieved to finally see that change.  In past seasons of Entourage it always seemed whatever problems they would have during the season would be instantly solved in the season finale.  Like last season for example, Vince's best friend Eric is in a massive fight with his ex girlfriend when he pulls over on the side of the road and proposes to her and she instantaneously forgets about all their past troubles and says yes.  Realistic? I don't think so.  This ending is going to leave viewers eagerly awaiting season eight to see what kind of trouble Vince has gotten himself into.  In my opinion this was the best episode of Entourage of all time and it’s going to be torture waiting until next summer to see what’s next.  It’s going to be quite the task trying to top a mind blowing season 7 finale. 



Here is a  video preview of the season 7 finale. Enjoy!!

The Greatest Concert Ever....Or at least thats what i hear

      For my first post I feel like it would be wrong to not talk about the Jay Z and Eminem concert last night being that I cant stop hearing about it.  I also feel like I am obligated to being that I am from New York and I am a huge Yankee fan.  It seems as though everywhere I go the last few day’s someone’s either telling me that they went to the concert and it was the best night of their life or how they missed the greatest concert ever. Either way this concert doesn't have too many critics.


     When I first heard on the radio a few months ago that Jay Z and Eminem were going to play a concert together at Yankee Stadium I knew it was going to be a huge deal.  It was going to be the first concert at Yankee Stadium and Jay Z is sort of a big deal in New York.  After months of hype I never thought that the concert could actually live up to its potential but when last night one of my friends called me screaming at 1:30 in the morning saying this is what Woodstock must have been like I knew it had somehow lived up to the expectations.

     The next morning I go to my computer and on my homepage pops up a picture of Jay Z and Eminem with the article title "Jay Z and Eminem Stage Star Studded NY Show".  I knew there had been some special guests but when I saw the list my jaw basically dropped to the ground.  They basically got every rapper who anyone would want to see and asked them to stop by and join the show, and they did.  Special guests included 50 Cent, Dr. Dre, Drake, Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, B.o.b,  J. Cole Swizz beats G Unit, D12 and oh yea how could I forget Jay Z’s wife Beyonce.  To say the least it was a start studded show and it goes without saying it was a show to remember.  


This is Jay Z performing Power and Monster with Kanye West and Nicki Minaj......Enjoy!!

Welcome to Anything Entertaining!!


     Hi my name is Brett I am currently an undergraduate student at Skidmore College and this is my first blog!  In my blog I am going to talk about music, movies, television and anything else that is current in entertainment. I am going to give reviews as well as talk about many different aspects of the entertainment world. Some weeks I might talk about how I thought the last episode of 24 was disappointing (as it usually is) and other weeks I might post a song by a new artist I like and talk a little big about him or her.  It all depends on what’s current and what’s interesting. Hope you like it!
