Entourage star Kevin Dillon ran into some of New Jersey's finest at an appearance at The Pool in Atlantic City over the weekend. Not being a neophyte in the often perilous club-going-for-pay circuit, Dillon made sure that his rider contained a section which stipulated that he must be secluded from a majority of the club either behind a velvet rope or sequestered in the V.I.P. area. However, these precautions did not prove to be ironclad enough to prevent him from interacting with a few overzealous fans of the HBO series, who knocked down the red velvet rope and demanded to have their pictures taken with Dillon. One fan said, "How often is Johnny motherfucking Drama in the A.C.? Not that fucking often. No stupid rope is going to stop me and Frankie and Kari and Mary and Frankie #2 from getting our picture with him! We would've done the same thing if it was Derek Jeter or one of those Gossip Girls."

· 10/21 - The elusive David Geffen, with an unidentified male companion, left his home planet of Malibu to nosh at Nate 'N Al's on Sunday morning.

· Gary Shandling at 3pm Wednesday, October 17th in Beverly Hills, in the Angelina Frozen Yogurt store on North Bedford Drive - over heard for all to hear "which one is good?" Is the one with splenda bad for you? Does anyone here think I'm funny? Customers ignored him. He bought a large frozen yogurt of some type of flavor and a vitamin water and left.

· Mon, Oct 15, around 10 30 PM, as I waited in line to get into UCB's really blue show, I saw David Thewlis at a table with a man and a woman at that Italian joint next to Birds on Franklin. They seemed like they had been sitting there for a long while. That is all.

· Saw Seth Green and a pretty gal at the "Weird Al" Yankovic show at the Greek Theater on Saturday. He was having a great time till the gal pal dragged him out two thirds through the show....He Missed out on Al doing "Alberquerque. Later that night while waiting to get in to the midnight show at the UCB, I saw Tim Meadows and his gal walk past.

· My co-workers and I went to the Abbey at noonish on Sunday for some post-AIDS Walk drinks. Since we got one of the outside tables, we were able to see the comings and goings of fellow patrons. Two of which were:

Kendra Wilkinson (one of Hef's harem from The Girls Next Door) wearing some kind of grey sweats/half tank top thingie with the rabbit logo.

T.R. Knight, who didn't look too pleased as he entered. Was it because the Abbey doesn't have any beers on tap? That's why I wasn't too pleased. I didn't get a chance to ask him for his thoughts on The Bionic Woman.

· Sunday Hillhurst & Franklin - Katherine Heigl followed by a creepy flock of paparrazi following her into a pet store. Katherine pulled up and exited her dark red ranger rover and out of the blue appeared at least 10 camera-wielding leaches that surrounded her as she got out of her car and walked the short distance to the pet store in the strip mall pet store. Super creepy but she looked hot as a jack rabbit with her hat and huge sunglasses. Hmmm I wonder what it's like to be surrounded by paps when you go to the pet store. Seems very bizarre but I would take it for a huge movie and a hit tv show. That's fur sure.

· Kevin Dillon a.k.a Johnnie Drama looking EXACTLY like he does on Entourage driving his Ford Escape hybrid SUV in bumper to bumper on the 101 going south towards Downtown LA this morning (Oct 22). Curious as to why the guy doesn't wear sunglasses on the bright morning drive as they tend to reduce wrinkles and prevent one's face from looking like 20 miles of bad road!

· Exiting Nordstrom at The Grove via the shoe department today around 1:30pm (10/16) when a strange posse caught my attention: several so-called adults and a mess-a-kids. When one of the hangers-on was exceptionally loud in a British accent in an everyone-look-at-me kind of way, I looked up and noticed a guy standing there with a security wire coming down from his ear, so of course I took a closer look at the group. Sure enough, in the middle of the very self-important mix was Victoria Beckham herself. As a side note, one of the other women had the exact same fake blond hair color and cut but was about 50 lbs. heavier than Waif Spice. To make matters even more ridiculous, there was another bodyguard posted outside at the entrance to the store. The irony is that no one would have noticed them if they weren't so obnoxious. Even so, I'm delighted to report that no one seemed to be paying much attention.

· Zach Galifianakis, Ed Helms, BJ Novak and another vaguely familiar looking guy and girl (other comedians?) sitting together at La Poubelle Friday night. Zach was sitting with his back to a candle and managed to catch his hair on fire. Other than that none of them did anything that exciting.

· i saw justin chambers from grey's anatomy at noon on saturday at crunch. he walked past the ellipticals to where the stretch area used to be (there are now pilates machines there) and then walked back the other way. he's a little on the short side but looks exactly like he does on TV. wish he would shave the stache and goatee!!

· 10/19, Tengu in Westwood: Dita von Teese, buttering up an older, uglier dude. As pale and thin as you'd imagine, but much 'rexier in person — makeup does a lot. [Ed. note: We're informed that Ms. von Teese was in Madrid at the time of the Westwood sighting.]

· 10/17 - A friendly Alyson Hannigan looking cute wearing wet hair and baggie, boyfriend style jeans at the Coffee Bean (they know her as Ally there) on Beverly Glen before hopping into her equally cute as a button Mini Cooper and presumably heading to Fox to get made over for How I Met Your Mother.

We saw a some of LA's Brit imports watching the Rugby World Cup on Saturday at Ye Olde Kings Head in Santa Monica - Damian Lewis ("ginger bloke" from "Saving Private Ryan" now starring in "Life" being very gallant looking for a chair for his very pregnant wife) and Mr Angelina Jolie, the early years (cant remember his real name) [Jonny Lee Miller]. Also saw Christopher Eccleston - Dr Who and the invisible guy in Heroes - but he was there to watch Man United vs Aston Villa. Sadly, the Beckhams were not in attendance.

· Last night 10/19 went to the FIND screening of The Kite Runner, which was good, and ducked out of Q & A early to grab dinner at Angelini Osteria....Who do we see there? Three (maybe four) of the leads from The Kite Runner! I know I def saw Khalid Abdalla ('Amir'), Homayon Ershadi ('Baba') and Atossa Leoni ('Soraya') enjoying a meal together with some other people. (Thank you, IMDB.) Shouldn't they have been at the Q&A? Anywho, they looked good and they were great in the film. Oh, and my meal was EXCELLENT.

· 10/17— Around noon, as I was pulling out of my office's parking lot, who do I see at the valet stand but his Doucheness Spencer Pratt from The Hills. Wearing expensive LA hipster duds and some ugly, ugly sunglasses. When the valet gave him his keys he said "Thank youuuuuu, sirrrrrrr," in a really faux-hearty manner. At least he shaved that awful blond beard.

· Saturday, October 22 Spotted: Weirdo Bai Ling at the Green Door in Hollywood Saturday night standing out in a pink hoodie, pink mini skirt and pink tights at the chandelier-draped lounge (apparently classy was out for the night). In an attempt to entertain herself, perhaps due to the lack of dancing - but apparently not due to a lack of booze - she brought new meaning to the Billy Idol song "Dancing with Myself" when she appeared to go into a booty-shaking, body rubbing trance. I especially loved the moment when while chatting with my girlfriends and sipping champagne she seemed to gravitate towards us so she could rub herself for an audience. We laughed a bit, but then immediately wondered - why is she famous again?

LAX to O'Hare Special Edition:

· Thursday Oct 11th at the Proud Bird near LAX- Matt Sorum eating a buffet lunch with an older gentleman, maybe his dad or uncle. Dude, keep eating at buffets and you won't be able to fit in the skinny rocker jeans anymore. Thursday Oct 18th Chicago O Hare airport- Just got off my United flight and who do I see waiting in one of those carts that are normally reserved for transporting elderly or handicapped people through the cavernous airport, none other than Seal and Heidi Klum. Way to draw attention to yourselves guys with a cart whose driver keeps honking his horn every 20 seconds while going everyone around you is gawking at you.

· Jon Stewart's Busboy Productions is launching another Daily Show contributor into his own series, producing 6 to 10 episodes of the sketch/variety show Important Things with Demetri Martin for Comedy Central. [THR]
· HBO gets the rights to a just-published book on the infamous Duke lacrosse rape case, material that should produce the feel-good made-for-TV movie of the year. [Variety]

At $15,000 per event plus expenses, Dillon's services don't come cheap, but we suppose the premium is an intentional one meant to distinguish the actor from downmarket fictional counterpart Johnny Drama, who requires no compensation beyond the promise that he'll have the opportunity to score some Viking Quest groupie tail immediately after his shopping mall ribbon-cutting responsibilities are complete.

· Anna Paquin will take a second-tier awards show where she can booze it up over being nominated for its bigger-deal cousin at the boring age of 11 any day. [Variety]
· Somewhere in the soupy borders between where Kevin Dillon ends and self-promotional op-ed essayist Johnny Drama begins is one very happy nominee. Says Entourage creator Doug Ellin: "I told Kevin last year we have a goal, we have to get you an Emmy nomination. He was like oh, come on lets just do good work but I know he is excited." [Variety]
· Nominated for his turn as Pahrump, NV's salty and wise Judge Robert Bebe, John Goodman gives all of the credit to Studio 60 masterscribe, Aaron Sorkin : "I am overwhelmed and grateful. It was all in the writing." [USA Today]
· Heroes' creator Tim Kring falls back on a reliable, frosting-related cliché: "We set out to make a show that people would get hooked on. For the show to now have this kind of critical exposure is really the icing on the cake." [USA Today]

The kids from Entourage literally wrote their own benjamins at the National Sports Collectors Convention in Anaheim last week. A source tells FBLA that a double-autograph from Kevin Dillon and Jerry Ferrara went for $100. And the crazy thing is people bought them.

Of course, as with everything Entourage, the lines between reality and fiction blurred seamlessly: After disappointment washed over the faces of starry-eyed faux Viking Quest fanatics, Dillon obligingly tossed the photo signed with his own name and quickly replaced it with one inscribed, "Victory!!! -Johnny Drama," as Ferrara cornered Catherine Bach, asking the long-ago hot Daisy Duke if she'd like to accompany him to the Aquaman premiere with his "good friend, Vinnie Chase."

Several sources who witnessed the wedding tell Us the couple arrived at A Elvis Chapel shortly before 9:15 p.m. in a silver limousine with several friends, including Dillon's Entourage costar, Kevin Connolly. The couple recited their vows in front of two photographers, a minister and Elvis impersonator Kent Ripley, who sang three Elvis Presley songs. Connolly and one other couple also stood as witnesses during the 10-minute ceremony.

Entourage's writers, always at the ready to spin a real life scenario into scripted comedy gold, sent cameras over to capture the nuptials and quickly cooked up a B-plot for season 3: Dillon's character Johnny Drama, frustrated and depressed at having been cast in the Aquaman movie in the very supporting role of flipper-footed Aquasoldier #8, storms out on Vince and the gang, only to knock up a Vegas cocktail waitress and marry her in a misguided attempt at "growing up." Of course, hilarity ensues when Turtle pokes up from under the sheets of the couple's heart-shaped bed just as they are about to consummate, a sequence that had just about the entire cast and crew in stitches, with the possible exception of Dillon's visibly annoyed bride.
