Lost in Translation: Is "Entourage" for straight men what "Sex and the City" was for straight women gay men? When I first heard about it I was totally on board.

Taking My Reality TV Addiction, One Day at a Time: Every time I swear I will never sit through another episode of "Celebrity Fit Club" they suck me back in again!

Bases Loaded: Fatherhood must be agreeing with Oakland A's designated (hottie) hitter Mike Piazza. He's looking awful fit in his this season, probably from all of the extra running around taking care of newborn daughter Nicoletta Veronica Piazza, who was born on Feb. 5 in New York City. Piazza's wife is former "Baywatch" star Alicia Rickter. (People)
