Before the Scene is where we all start. In a small town with our families. In front of a mirror with our friends. The days spent sleeping on a couch. The nights working at a bar. Living with the unknown and surrounded by uncertainty. It’s about the times that define us. It’s about the darkness just before the limelight. Q: What was your biggest fear? Q: What was your lowest point? Q: What kept you from walking away? Q: What did you walk away from? Q: Who was your closest ally? Q: What were you doing the morning before the audition that changed your life? Q: What were the words that kept you going? Q: How have you changed? Q: What words do you have to inspire others?

Emmanuelle Chriqui is a contradiction in terms: She recently returned from the former Soviet Union, where she filmed a starring role in Renny Harlan’s politically charged recreation of the Russian invasion of “Georgia,” but Emmanuelle was most recently seen on the big screen as a pregnant porn star in the SXSW-debuted indie “Electra Luxx.” Perhaps best known as Sloan on “Entourage” (season 7 premieres tonight on HBO!), in her personal life Emmanuelle is all about single-minded commitment to the causes that she passionately supports. She’s heavily involved in the Environmental Media Association’s Young Hollywood board, and helped launch Raise Hope For Congo with respected humanitarian John Prendergast. I spoke with Emmanuelle after she helped kick off the EMA School Gardens Program, which will roll out through 25 schools in urban Los Angeles to help under-served communities develop self-sustaining, organic food sources. ES: When did you start getting involved in eco-consciousness? EC: I’ve always been attracted to the alternative lifestyle, meaning organic and natural and alternative healing. That stuff has always been present in my life. When I was shooting “Zohan” I really wanted to get a new car. I had been driving the same lovely little 1988 red two-door Toyota Corolla forever. I wanted to drive a Prius, and that was a big commitment for me because it was a real statement at the time. One of the producers put me in touch with Debbie Levin [CEO of the Environmental Media Association], who connected me with Toyota. Being involved with Debbie and the EMAs [the Environmental Media Awards show, produced by the Environmental Media Association] has been a constant learning process. I’ve been getting more and more involved. And it’s really gotten a lot easier to be environmentally conscious! ES: Yes, I was thinking about that when you talked about a so-called “alternative lifestyle” that was environmentally conscious. I can’t wait for a time when organic and natural is the norm! EC: Exactly! And the alternative is the bizarros who are driving their giant old Broncos. ES: So, let’s talk about the important stuff. What are your favorite green fashion labels or beauty finds? EC: I’m still learning. I love Alexx Jae, which is awesome. I love their style, and their idea of using [upcycled fabric] from other companies. I wear Alexx Jae all the time. I also love anything made from bamboo–jeans, shirts, anything. I don’t understand why everybody doesn’t want to dress that way; it feels amazing–softer than the softest old t-shirt! The whole thing is an exploration. Fashion, cosmetics–I feel like every day there’s a new something that’s all natural, all organic, no parabens. I love going to Erewhon and using Jason Body Wash. Just switching out everything and replacing it with the good kind. It’s a journey and it’s a lifestyle that’s evolving every single minute. There are better products all the time. But you can’t just use something because it’s good for the environment. It’s got to feel good. Like toilet paper. There are so many different eco-brands now, you can choose which one you like.

Entourage actress Emmanuelle Chriqui, 32, is finally in a good place with her on-screen fiancé, E (played by Kevin Connolly ). “It really represents a kind of stability, I think, between E and Sloan. We have our own house and I’m very much the supportive fiancée, so the drama of last season is no longer,” she says. “It’s very, very calm between us and stable. It doesn’t sound that exciting, but it’s the first time in years that they’re just in a good place.” Chriqui tackles her fifth season on the Emmy-winning comedy — which returns for Season 7 on Sunday (HBO, 10:30 p.m. ET/PT) — as Sloan McQuewick, who accepted E’s marriage proposal in last season’s finale. And, although the on-off couple is finally on the same page, there doesn’t seem to be much room for the hard-partying, playboy antics of E’s best buds Vince (Adrian Grenier), Drama (Kevin Dillon) and Turtle (Jerry Ferrara). “The boys — all of them — are really finding their own way. They’re still tight-knit, but they’re exploring other facets of their life,” including domestic bliss for E, Chriqui says. “I hate to describe (E and Sloan’s relationship) as boring, but it’s not the most exciting thing in the world,” Chriqui, who “totally” hates talking about her own love life, admits. “You should see the dinners that this woman makes and it’s like, ‘Really? When does she do this?!’” Fortunately, however, Chriqui’s career has never been more exciting. “It’s just so easy to get pigeonholed and I think that’s the last thing I want to do,” she says. “I’m into the long haul, so if I can do as many different things and have a great time doing it, I’ll be thrilled.” In addition to her heightened role on Entourage, she just shot the first Internet-exclusive feature-length film, Girl Walks Into a Bar, due on Hulu and YouTube in September. She stars alongside Rosario Dawson, Zachary Quinto, Danny DeVito, Josh Hartnett and Carla Gugino, playing an exotic dancer who has an “alternate fantasy life as a magician.” The film is written and directed by Sebastian Gutierrez, who also cast Chriqui in last year’s Women in Trouble and its upcoming sequel Elektra Luxx, in which she plays a woman whose female best friend is falling in love with her. Chriqui says she’s thrilled about taking on challenging roles and seeing her career blossom. “Acting is my passion. Everything always leads back to acting,” she says. “Whatever I’m doing, it’s always to sort of move the acting career along. Of course, I love other things, but that’s really passion.” She followed her passion to the country of Georgia last fall to shoot director Renny Harlin’s political war drama that tells the story of Russia’s 2008 invasion of the sovereign nation. “It’s such a departure for me, and it was a life-changing, unbelievable experience. Just being in the country where everything happened, on real location was incredible,” she says. Chriqui says she hopes Harlin will take Georgia, which also stars Andy Garcia and Val Kilmer, on the festival circuit this year. In the mean time though, she’s happy to spend time with her Entourage boys and is keeping her fingers crossed for the development of a rumored big-screen incarnation of the show, a la Sex and the City. “I keep hearing that and I have not heard that from anyone directly from Entourage, but that seems to be the word on the street. I feel as though (executive producer) Mark Wahlberg is really thinking about that,” she says. “It would seem to me like a natural progression. It will be amazing!” From USA Today |

An Entourage movie is almost definitely on the way – but before producer Mark Wahlberg and company can bring these boys to the big screen, there’s the little matter of season seven. The cast got together this week and spoke to E! News about what viewers can expect on new episodes, which kick off again this Sunday night. Take it away, gentlemen… and lady! Adrian Grenier: “It’s been a great season for me as an actor because Vince is getting into trouble. He needs help. Like there’s an emotional side to Vince that comes out with a fury.” Kevin Connolly: “You will not see a wedding, but the engagement is going very well.” Emmanuelle Chriqui: “[This season] is really just embracing the fact that we’re together and that the drama is over. Just being OK with being domesticated a little bit – in a good way, because we’ve never seen that with them. It’s very sweet.” Kevin Dillon: “Drama had a holding deal at the end of last season and now he’s trying to get a job before that holding deal expires.” Jerry Ferrara: “The growth of the character is definitely more than any other season, and he’s trying to stand on his own a little bit more… He starts his own business, a limo company with beautiful woman driving the cars.” From TV Fanatic |

Entourage fans don’t confine their support of the HBO hit to Sunday nights at home – just ask star Emmanuelle Chriqui. She recently chatted with USA TODAY’s Arienne Thompson and revealed that viewers frequently come up to her to offer opinions on her character Sloan’s up-and-down relationship with new fiance E (Kevin Connelly). “People are definitely glad that we’re back together. I remember the funniest thing is that I was with my publicist in New York and we were walking near the office, and there was this construction site, and this guy was like, ‘Yo, Sloan, seriously, what the (expletive) is up with E?! Is he (stupid) or something?’ I was like, ‘Oh my God – this is a television show!’” And, what about those rumors that Entourage will go beyond television show and hit the big screen a la Sex and the City? Chriqui doesn’t know, but hopes it’s in the cards. “I keep hearing that and I have not heard that from anyone directly from Entourage, but that seems to be the word on the street. I feel as though Mark Wahlberg is really thinking about that,” she says. “I think it would be a great thing. It would seem to me like a natural progression. It will be amazing!” From USA Today |

No wedding takes place between characters Eric and Sloan on season seven of Entourage, at least “not yet,” Emmanuelle Chriqui told HollywoodLife.com exclusively June 15 at the Fashion Delivers “Pay It Fashion Forward” Forever 21 Fundraiser at Lucky Strike Lanes & Lounge in NYC. Despite the engagement that took place last season, could it be that Emmanuelle is getting tired of playing her down-on-luck in love character, Sloan? Well, rumor has it that The CW is looking for a new lady to play a French love interest for Ed Westwick’s character Chuck Bass — and Emmanuelle might be at the top of the list for the role! “I had no idea [that I was being considered for the role],” Emmanuelle gushed when we asked her about the situation. “Really … It’s the first I’ve heard of it, [but] it could be interesting. It would depend on what the script was like!” Sounds like Emmanuelle might be getting tired of waiting for her character’s love life to finally straighten out on Entourage. “There’s a couple of surprises” this season, Emmanuelle said. “I’m thinking about what I’ve read already” and a wedding is “probably not” going to happen, even though the show is still filming. If a wedding does end up taking place, however, Emmanuelle does have an idea of what Sloan’s big day would be like: “It’ll be big and beautiful I imagine,” she said, “because her dad would want it that way!” Could it be that executive producer Mark Wahlberg is saving the wedding for the Entourage movie? If so, Emannuelle would have plenty of time to play Chuck’s new girlfriend on Gossip Girl. Season four begins shooting at the end of July in both Paris and NYC.
