'Entourage' the movie? Grenier's going to say yes

The final season of “Entourage” is here, but that doesn’t mean the show won’t go on.

Ahead of the July 24 premiere episode, the stars of the HBO show hit the red carpet in New York City and spoke with CNN. On top of saying goodbye and reflecting on shooting some of the final scenes for the show, Vincent Chase himself, Adrian Grenier, responded to a question about the prospect of an "Entourage" movie.

“I would hate to disappoint the millions and millions of people that want to see a movie,” Grenier told CNN. “I wouldn’t want to be the guy to deliver that news. So, I’m going to say yes!”

Jay-Z and Kanye's single 'Otis' hits Web

Jay-Z and Kanye's single 'Otis' hits Web

Jay-Z and Kanye West fans got another glimpse of what's to come on the duo's album "Watch the Throne" Wednesday as the track "Otis" popped up online.

The single relies on the soulful sample from Otis Redding's "Try a Little Tenderness" - hence the song's title - and it supplies a smooth platform for Jay and Kanye to recount how great life has been going these days. If "H.A.M." didn't exactly sit well with you, odds are "Otis" will go down with more ease.

PopDust finds the single to flow "with an infectious coolness, partly because Redding’s signature growls and grunts hang around...while Jay and ‘Ye drop cocky, self-referential rhymes that serve as both a look back on their careers...and describe their current lavish lifestyles." FULL POST

Lindsay Lohan stands tall in court
Lindsay Lohan wore a pair of tall platform heels to her court appearance on July 21.

Lindsay Lohan stands tall in court

Lindsay Lohan's still trying to work out payment for psychological counseling - her health insurance lapsed since she hasn't worked in a year - but she has been able to afford a pair of killer high heels.

The 25-year-old actress strode into court Thursday atop a pair of black peep-toe, platform stilettos that could very well be Christian Louboutin, judging by the red soles.

It's not atypical of Lohan to appear in a towering set of heels for a court appearance, but perhaps she really needed the extra height this time - the black dress she wore was floor-length, so much so that it easily engulfed the top of her skyscraper footwear.

For more on Lohan's latest court appearance - which was just to review her progress on the terms of her probation - check out the full story here.

Perfect technique, emotion for 'SYTYCD' top 10

From the moment I heard Neil Patrick Harris would be a guest judge, I knew Wednesday night's "So You Think You Can Dance" episode would be a great show.

And wouldn't you know it - last night's contestants totally proved me right.

Sure, NPH did take himself a bit too seriously (I love that you're actually commenting on the dances, dude, but can you have a LITTLE fun with it?). But between the technically near-perfect ballroom routines and the gorgeous, character-driven contemporary and hip-hop pieces, who has time to notice the judges?
