For those of you as into (read: obsessed with) HBO’s smash hit Entourage as I am, an article in todays New York Times chronicles the rise (to the next level of Hollywood Power) of Ari Emanuel, brother of Rahm, who is reportedly the prototype for Entourage’s aptly named Ari Gold – played by Jeremy Piven.

Often I find it easy to dismiss the fantasy worlds of shows akin to Entourage (it’s a show about moochers, a friend of mine adamantly exclaims whenever the show is mentioned), but, of course, celebrities exist, and so too, agents to represent them.  

No real point to this post – just an interesting read about a world typically reserved for HBO, E!, and the tabloids…enjoy.
