I want to be Ari Gold! I LOVE Entourage. I watch it like a training video! I also live the movie, "Keeping Up With The Steins", which has him in another very "Ari" role. Congrats Jeremey Piven!

Congrats to the "Piven" I love his crazy #$$ on Entourage. I watched Mad Men as much as I could, The costumes were so excellent. The acting was great. I just couldn't connect with any of the characters they were all so unsympathetic.
