will you still spend the day getting drunk and crying? >> i can do that at the movies. in the dark too. >> no one can see me. i think it is funny that sony's ceo says they never gave up on releasing the interview. this is like a boyfriend saying, oh i didn't say the relationship was doomed or that we needed to break up. i gave you the option. do you want to end it or do you not? the fact that sony told these theaters you have the option of showing it or not sewing it, they thought they had an out, so they were like, of course we don't want to be held liable. it is just puts to me that they said we are never giving up on it. what do you mean? it was never not going to be shown. >> what happened was they were cowards and they final looy realized they -- finally realized they better do something or they would never live it down. how do you make a hollywood movie out of this?

"entourage" i will say they treat women horribly. >> who cares? it is a funny show. >> women have more opportunity in fallujah than "entourage." but i think the first two seasons were really good. i checked out when turtle started making it. once turtle started making million dollar deals and banging jaime lynn siegler, he was a loser. >> it is a excuse not to theng for two hours and watch something and enjoy it. >> that's why you watch the kardashians. >> and you know i watch that. >> you said two seasons. i think i know what you are talking about. it was in an era where it was like 2000 -- it was fun, but then with unemployment and the recession and all of the [bleep] going on, you couldn't watch this -- you couldn't see this as as -- aspirational anymore because these guys are having a great time and watching your friends get the pink slip. and you are right. when turtle starts losing weight it is like get some other fat guy. joanne, you were like 10 when this came out. are you excited? i am sickened by it. >> i have never seen an episode. the trailer looked exciting. >> it is just the music. >> exactly. if you take the music out, it is the most boring -- it looks like when hannity did the spring break and that's what it looks like. you just say i feel hoping over watching this -- hung-over watching it. >> i love the climax was him punching -- >> they spent 10 seconds on the scene. that is supposed to be one of the most exciting scenes. >> they announce each of the characters. >> because it has been awhile. >> this is not a 48-hour sequel. this is a sequel to a horrible show. how many times have you watched the trailer? >> 172? >> i have a bunch of comments on this. the biggest difference the dog video we showed, the biggest difference with jeremy piven is the dog hair was real. >> he has the worst toupe. jay i want to know if haley joel osmond is playing himself. i hope he is. >> he was holding a gun. >> that's wrong. that is stunt casting. >> i think it makes it -- it makes it worse. you are missing my point. the first two seasons i agree were fun to watch. the first two seasons it was like they were making fun of l.a. culture and those people. after that they embrace that culture. >> they were like the new york guys that became the l.a. guys. >> it was just a bunch of guys acting like d-bags. this in general was a terrible day for hollywood. first "the interview" is being released and then this trailer comes tout and tim burton and helena split. i don't know who gets custody of the unkempt hair. i want hbo to do an "entourage" girls crossover. i tweeted at them and have yet to get a reply. that would be fantastic. >> my philosophy is "entourage" does for guys what girls does for girls. it makes them both look back. >> "6 and the city." >> well, "sex and the city" was great. >> "sex and the city" was enjoyable. did you know i once bought a collection of "sex and the city" cd's. >> that was the first i masturbated to. i was at my parents and had no other options. >> which of the four? >> the guy that talked like this. miranda, i love you. >> i just realized how young you are. >> that's incredible. >> i would make another joke about that. you know what is the most telling part of the whole story? in 2012 president obama promised to make a cameo in the movie. what does that say? >> in "entourage"? >> yes. >> did he expect him to keep the promise? >> would you be shocked if he didn't secretly film that? >> he will. that's what he loves to be in front of the cultural -- >> that's the point. we are told over and over again that the president is cool. "entourage" its sell by date is over. it is not cool anymore. it is as cool as scrilicks will be cool. it is that same world of cool. fatboy slim. it is the fatboy slim of -- >> fatboy slim is coming back. >> i bet this is going to be a huge box office hit in the summer. >> it will be a disaster. >> because the guys in their 20s that watched entourage will now be in their 30s and they will be like fat and miserable. >> sam, are you going to see it? >> here is the thing. haley joel osmond, i am just fascinated. >> he is probably in one scene. >> his track record is "forest gump,"" the 6th sense" and a spielberg movie. you are waiting until "entourage"?

>> no. he was dating one of my friends at the time. >> really? >> guys, my stories are real. i actually know sort of famous people. >> is know the appropriate word and did you know them by the hour? >> what? >> i don't know what that meant either. i have to go. the other thing is jeremy piven, i hate the fact that he plays -- he is supposed to be a jerk in the office, but a faithful husband, like he loves his wife. >> in the pilot he says he cheated on her too. in the pilot he is like, do you see the swimsuit model, i banged her. so it is either a lie or they messed it up. >> it is like an entourage truther. >> he was great in "point blank." >> that was with john cusak? >> yes. >> harmless creatures that are beady eyed and trying to steal your soul. what are your parents thinking of your new boyfriend? my guess is something. she'll dance for you and then eat your soul. this is not your grand father's robot stripper. the artist teamed up with the creatures fx studio to create the most frightening femme bot ever. behold or be afraid. i don't know. ♪ >> it is controlled by a man. isn't everything? i am talking about god. through facial -- through facial recognition therapy they will follow you with her eyes. >> if that's real, then that should be on amputees. at least one patron enjoyed the performance. ♪ >> i guess what bothers me is i find it arousing and alarming because you look at the technology and that stuff should be used for amputees. i believe it is a real person. >> how badly do you not want to get to know a woman? >> are you asking me? >> well, you know, i mean, it has like the face that is all creepy. >> why that face? >> that's like a lizard face and not like a housewives hot lizard, but a weird lizard. >> like she was in the tanning bed too long. >> i am not into strip clubs. i was just in reno and this guy was like go to the strip club and i say no those women are victims of sexual abuse, and it is too much money. that's a weird combo that i am not going to take advantage of a girl's messed up childhood, not at those prices. >> at least you had a prioritized. you had the abuse before the payment. if you said it is too expensive -- >> not all strippers. >> joanne, are you worried -- i guess they are women, artificial maybe, may replace you in the future. >> i think they will replace all jobs, and it will just be female robots. we thought the stripper was the one job that would be safe, but it is not. however, if we are gonna do this, we need to do this right. we need to represent real women. i didn't see cell -- cell you loit or stretchmarks. if barbie can't have her day, she can't either. >> are you the one with "sex and the city" you never took a barbie?
