Kindness Plug

Hey there, Ent. My name is Kim and I am an avid reader of your blog. I know that every so often you post a link or two to help a worthy cause. I'm sincerely hoping that you will find time to help my family and I.

In November 2006, my brother, Billy, passed away at the age of 26 after living with a disease called Lupus. He was diagnosed at age 14. Though we know he's in a much better place, my family and I have decided that we don't want his suffering to have been a waste. We want to help raise money for research into developing new drugs to help treat and possibly cure Lupus as well as money to help families who have been devastated by the disease. It's a very worthy cause as there has been no new medications approved by the FDA specifically for Lupus in 40 years and research monies aren't granted on a regular basis to maintain a constant level of exploration.

What I'm asking is that you would please post a link on your website that would allow your readers to check out the Lupus Foundation of America and donate should they feel lead to do so. No one is under any obligation although even a small gift of $1 helps. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Entourage In Cannes

"Could I get some room please? Back up a step or two there Connolly and get back in line. Everyone knows they are here to see me. I'm Jeremy Piven. Who the hell are you guys? Hey Adrian. Stop looking at the camera."
Must have been before the Piven rant.

"If you want to see just how much of a back stabbing prick I can be I encourage you to watch PCU on DVD. Since I refused to do the commentary with anyone else, I basically get to rant for two hours about how awful the director and cast were and how if they only listened to me the movie would have been #1."

Well at least he knows his nickname.

Jerry Ferrara just is having a good time and enjoying the ride.

Do you see how the rest of the cast is just normal? Show up, get your picture taken, enjoy Cannes.

I'm guessing Kevin Dillon just knocked Piven unconscious.

Mike Myers is going to star in the remake of The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty. Kind of appropriate in a way.

Alec Baldwin is back with CAA.

Hmmmm. God didn't work so let's try Buddha.

Andy Samberg and Natalie Portman? I guess it could happen. Lyle Lovett did marry Julia Roberts. For ugly guys like myself it's a chance to at least dream. Way to go Andy.

VH1 ran an incredible special about Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes over the weekend. In the special they had video footage of the last seconds before her fatal crash. The video is powerful and emotional and I actually wish it didn't exist. But, it does and if you want to view the video you can click here. I encourage you to watch the entire show and not just the tragic clip. The entire show will be repeated on VH1 tomorrow night at 8pm Eastern and Pacific.

Why am I thinking Brad Pitt slept in that suit and perhaps had an adult beverage or two.

Don Cheadle is one of the very best guys in the world and I'm not just saying that because of the extra chips he threw my way at poker night.

I'm not sure there are any non-artificial parts left on Ellen Barkin.

Matt Damon: "So I'm just supposed to hold Ellen Barkin up and turn her slightly every five minutes."

Scott Caan is a fine actor but he better get down on his knees everyday and thank someone that he got involved in this franchise.

Which designer and TV personality who advertises for sex online insists on hooking up with all the lights off so his tricks don't find out he's a (minor) celebrity?

Today's Blind Items

This female reality star and now part-time actress is really starting to get some attention. She has been involved with a guy ( C list, maybe even D film and tv actor) for years. She has always kept it hush hush in interviews but has never denied him when asked flat out. Over the past year they grew closer and closer and she was ready to take the next step. However, just when she was going to say yes, a female A-lister (tv and movies) got involved which caused the guy to have second thoughts and our star to believe she was being played. After the A-lister departed, our couple worked things out or so it seemed. Earlier this month, our reality star got engaged, but has kept it totally quiet because she is afraid our guy is not quite done with the A-lister and so doesn't want to look foolish if she makes a big deal about getting engaged and then have the guy show up in the tabs with the A-lister.

No one from any of the MTV shows.
