Estelle

Estelle is one of the best records I have heard in a long time. The music is great, she sounds so sexy, and Kanye delivers as always, rounding out a great “American Boy”. The first time I heard the record I was driving with my babies Ella and Huddie. We were headed to malibu and the song came on and their legs started kicking in their car seats against mine. I looked at them in the back and they were jamming. This has always been my sniff test. If my three year old and my five year old start dancing to a song its a hit. And sure enough this one is is a smash. Instead of playing records for programmers to gauge a hit, we should be playing records for preschoolers and seeing if they react. They will give you real honest feedback not some bullshit remark like what does their myspace look like or what is the commitment from the label.

Entourage

I think Vinny Chase is the coolest guy on TV. He’s a guys guy, chicks dig him. He is always calm, collected, and really depicts what a young star should be. He should be doing more movies, like Emile Hirsh The rest of the cast is also exceptional, Drama is such a great big bro and although I really never liked E, he is starting to grow on me. I think his coming out moment was when he got in Billys grill in last seasons Medellin piece. Turtle is a great slacker best bro and Ari, who I have known for a while is the best agent in the biz. As a former UTA alum, Ari Gold is a mix between a bunch of guys who really believe that they are the stars and everyone else is just filler. One person I do miss from the mix is Debbie Mazur who really kicked it up a notch as the publicist and sometimes mother figure to Vinny and the boys. The first two episodes have been just what I expected, great fun for everyone. It was good to see Mark in tonights episode. One of my bros, Lukas Haas has been added to the mix which is great. Looks like its gonna be a great season.
