With only four episodes remaining in this season, "Entourage" creator and executive producer Doug Ellin warns that not all of the show's subplots will be neatly wrapped up.
"Some of the stuff will come back, but everything is an ongoing thing. The show really takes place over such a condensed time period that if we don't deal with it, eventually we'll get to it, but it may not be this year. The focus of the year is on this movie they're trying to sell and the next project they're working on now, and how Billy is going to handle that."
Mr. Ellin said fans can expect to see cameos by Kanye West and Sydney Pollack in the coming episodes.
Last night's scene featuring Peter Jackson was actually directed by the "Lord of the Rings" director himself, Mr. Ellin said.
"It turns out he was a fan of the show," Mr. Ellin said. "He said he was in New Zealand and he asked if would we mind if he directed his own scene. ... We could live with Peter Jackson doing his own scene."
Season five of "Entourage," which is 14 episodes, is slated to start running next June.

Bold statement Chris. Thats the premise of the show. Thats how it grinds out. If there is problem with it, the show need to be cancelled.

I think the show has been on form the past few episodes, funny, effortlessly cool and just plain enjoyable. Loved Mary J and the squabbling siblings thingy, FUNNY!

ok, fact is, is that a show like this rarely appears anymore on tv so enjoy while its still running. Plus Ari Gold is the greatest character ever to be thought of.

Message to chris. What do you know, Entourage is bar far the best TV show that has aired in decades. The characters have shown so much depth and talet since the show started. You remind me of the NERD that bagged vince in Aquaman when they were at ComicCon. Eat a Dick dough boy.
