While on a crazed hunger-induced search for a pancake place on Melrose Blvd. on Monday morning at about 10:30ish, I was lucky enough to spot Johnny “The wind beneath my wings and implants in my calves” Drama, a.k.a. Kevin Dillon of Entourage, shooting a scene for the series’ upcoming fifth season. The scenes were shot at Earth Cafe in Hollywood.

Although the LAPD were guarding Dillon’s side of the street like hawks, I got a semi-good glimpse of Drama in what appeared to be some sort of pow wow lunch meeting that the Entourage boys know how to do best. He was looking overly-tanned yet toned like always.

For those NOT in the know, Kevin Dillon, real-life brother of Matt Dillon, plays the brother of “Aquaman” star Vincent Chase (played by Adrian Grenier).

Thanks to the 100-day-long writers strike that killed this past TV season last November, this is the first summer in many “Entourage” fans have to suffer through the heat of summer without HBO’s half hour comedy but thankfully, they now look on schedule to return with new episodes in September.

Summer just started for UCLA students (Screw you, quarter system!), but I can’t wait for fall to see what the new season has planned after the fourth season’s cliff hanging finale when Vinnie’s new film “Medellin” crashed and burned at Cannes.

Someone hold me. I’m scared. Yes, it’s true. New Kids on the Block are planning a reunion tour. New Kids On The Block was first assembled in 1984 in Boston and had widespread success in the late 1980’s. The group consists of current A-listers Jordan and Johnathon Knight, Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg and Danny Wood. The only person I recognize inthat group is Donnie Wahlberg and that’s only because his brother Mark Wahlberg has abs of steel and produces Entourage on HBO.

Ok so why would anyone care now they NKOTB is back? I have no idea. But I think it’d be funny if they did a reality show featuring these late 30- early 40 year olds trying to get back in shape and dance. Sorry fellas, you’re no JT. It’d still be sad if say… Joey Fatone tried to make a come back. (BTW, he’s hosting Disney specials that can only be seen On Demand) Let’s face facts, you’ve run out of money and trying to cash in on hopes that people still remember’s what NKOTB stands for.

The Spice Girls are making quite the come back, but let’s see… after Spice Girls broke up the first time, one of them married British super star and mega hottie David Beckham and another one had the illigitamate child of Eddie Murphy. You can’t beat that. They were at least able to stay in the lime light despite their fame was not gained by talent or actual work. But hey, at least we still know their names!! I couldn’t name all 5 NKOTB members with a gun pointed to my head. But just in case you are die hard NKOTB fans… their official site link is below. Have fun kiddies!
