On this week's episode of Entourage, the guys played in a charity golf event. Vince and Drama were paired with Tom Brady and Mark Wahlberg; Ari was paired with someone he knows from work and the man's two sons; and Turtle and E were paired with a man who is a celebrity management legend. Some information you need to know: Though we are supposed to think that at least a month has passed, things between Sloan and E are still awkward; Plus, E lied to Ashley about Sloan; Turtle snubs Tom Brady when they first meet because Turtle is a loyal Giants fan, but after Tom gets all nice and invites Turtle and Jamie to his house for dinner, Turtle switches pages; Ari has Lloyd caddying during the episode; Ari is seriously in the doghouse with his wife following Andrew's affair revelation; Sloan is the one who got the management legend to want to play golf with Eric and they fight because E does not want to be her charity case.
That's about all that happened. Anyone else think that the episodes this season seem really short in length? Feel free to leave me comments about what you thought of the episode.

New Leno show secrets revealed
Here is an article highlighting some of the "secrets" that have to this point been hidden about the new Jay Leno show. I like the idea about keeping the opening short and getting right to the monologue, but I'm not sure the racetrack will do any good. What do you think? Is this a recipe for success or demise?
Winner plans to donate prize
I just read that Jeanine plans to donate her $250,000 prize to the charity Making Memories, which helps people suffering from Alzheimer's. So not only is she an amazing dancer, but she is also caring enough to use her winnings for the greater good. She is a deserving winner, but this only makes me more happy that America voted for her.

Some fall TV shows to watch
Here is a slideshow of some of the fall season's most anticipated new shows. I am looking forward to a few of these, especially Glee. What do you think? Are there any new shows premiering this fall that you are looking forward to watching?
Spoiler: A new SYTYCD champion is named
As tonight's So You Think You Can Dance season finale came to a conclusion, Cat named America's favorite dancer. But before that point we got to see highlight reels as well as a bunch of this season's favorite dances performed again.
The show opened with the top 20 performing The Wiz group routine from earlier in the season. It was just as great this time as it was the first time. Then each of the judges got to request their favorite routines of the season. Adam wanted to see Jeanine and Phillip's hip hop routine from the first episode. It was choreographed by Tabitha and Napoleon and was performed to the song Mad. Then, Janette and Brandon danced the Argentine tango after Nigel requested it. We then saw Asuka and Vitolio's waltz, choreographed by Louis, after Debbie claimed it was her favorite. Mary then said her favorite from the season was the Travis Wall choreographed routine performed by Jeanine and Jason. Mia then said her favorite performance was the Louis choreographed samba performed by Max and Kayla. We also got the opportunity to rewatch the Calle Ocho top 16 group performance. This was the hip hop/samba fusion, which Debbie admitted was also a standout for her. Lil C's favorite was the Bollywood routine Jason and Caitlin performed week one. Also performed was Randi and Evan's butt dance, which was choreographed by Mia and requested by Adam. Mary said one of her other faves was Jeanine and Brandon's paso doble from the night before, also choreographed by Louis. Nigel's other favorite routine was the Mia choreographed addiction dance performed by Kayla and Kupono. Tyce, who got limited face time tonight, said his favorite dance was the Doriana disco routine Janette and Brandon performed. We also had the opportunity to watch the Tyce choreographed breast cancer dance performed by Melissa and Ade after Mia requested a repeat.
As a special treat we also got to see the top eight perform the Mia choreographed Chorus Line dance and the six judges - Mia, Tyce, Debbie, Mary, Adam and Nigel - joined in for a few eight counts at the end. They didn't do too much, but they looked happy and the audience seemed to love it.
But the real reason for tonight's two hour episode was to name a winner. So let me get to the results. From the top we heard that last night a record amount - 21.6 million - of votes were cast. About one hour into the episode we learned that Kayla was the fourth place dancer. A while later we found out that in third place was Evan. This left Jeanine and Brandon as the top two, which is exactly like Nigel predicted. As the show came to a close, Jeanine was named America's favorite dancer! I said yesterday that anyone could win and I would be pleased, but honestly, based on the last few weeks, Jeanine was the stand out. She flourished in recent weeks and truly showed America what a wonderful dancer she is.
Well, another season comes to an end, which makes me sad. But the great news is that we won't have to wait long for a new season. In about a month SYTYCD begins airing its sixth season as a part of Fox's fall schedule. I cannot wait. For now, what did you think of the episode? Were you happy to see some of the season's best performances again? And, more importantly, do you think the best dancer won? Leave it here.

I don't know whether to be pissed or cry
So I got home from work tonight to find that only the second hour of So You Think You Can Dance taped. When I went to record the show a few days ago, the guide said that last week's results show was airing again from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. so I only taped the new hour. Well, apparently the show was two hours, which means I missed a lot. That said, I do not want to critique the dances I did see because I would feel like I was favoring some over others.
But I do have this to say: I think any of the four finalists could win and I would be OK with it. While Evan hasn't really proven himself this season and Kayla seems overpraised and cocky, they are still just as great as Brandon and Jeanine. I will be pleased no matter what the result tomorrow night.
So for now, if you know of a website where I can watch SYTYCD episodes I would greatly appreciate it. I wonder if I was the only person this affected. Seems fishy that the guide changed like it did. I feel incomplete without seeing all of the dances. I am now going to go cry myself to sleep.

Spoiler: Entourage - You can kiss a lot of models or just call your best friend for a favor
On tonight's episode of Entourage we find out that production for Vince's Ferrari movie has been pushed back so he has nothing to do for the next 12 weeks. He proposes going away, but all of the guys say they have other commitments. He points out that he has all the money is the world and tons of free time yet no one to spend it with.
In other happenings, Andrew does not go home one night and his wife calls Ari's wife looking for him. Ari's wife then immediately jumps to the conclusion that Andrew must be having an affair and Ari lies for Andrew. Andrew swears he has ended his fling with the junior agent but then he sees her flirting with David Schwmmer while trying to seal a deal and Andrew freaks. Ari gives him advice and tells him to think of his children who would not want a father who is a liar. Andrew misconstrues this advice and chooses to leave his wife, further screwing up Ari's life.
As for the storylines of the other guys, we have Eric figuring out that his business - the Murphy Group - has no real purpose so he decides to close it; Jamie taking Turtle back to school shopping and forcing him to buy preppy, Chuck Bass-inspired clothes; and Drama trying to cast a love interest for his television show character. This last plot was actually quite funny. After kissing tons of hot women all day, Drama swears he had no chemistry with any of them. He then begs the director to hire a known actress, though the part is only a one time, few minute thing. So Drama begs Turtle to get Jamie to agree to be his kisser, which she agrees to do.
That was pretty much it. Ashley is still annoying; I still feel bad for Lloyd; and I wish Ari's wife had a name.
Feel free to leave your thoughts on the episode.
