Entourage is a dramedy broadcast on HBO and created by Doug Ellin, that chronicles the rise of Vincent Chase, a young A-list movie star, and his childhood friends from Queens, New York City, as they navigate the unfamiliar terrain of Hollywood, California. Mark Wahlberg and Stephen Levinson serve as the show’s co-executive producers, and the show’s premise is loosely based on Wahlberg’s experiences as an up-and-coming movie star.
According to Mark Wahlberg, Entourage was initially conceived when his assistant asked to film him and his friends, calling them “hilarious”. Other reports credit Eric Weinstein, a long-time friend of Wahlberg’s, with the idea of filming the successful actor’s group of friends.

In order to be more satirical of the Hollywood lifestyle, a fictional approach was chosen rather than a straight documentary.
Vincent Chase, the show’s main character, was envisioned to be more similar to Wahlberg, but it was decided that some of his and his friends’ activities (particularly some elements of their criminal past) would not work well on television. A lighter approach was subsequently decided upon.
However, according to Donnie Carroll, who was the inspiration for the Turtle character, the idea for a show involving an actor and his friends had come from him. It had originated as a book idea, centered on Carroll’s own life and his experiences with Wahlberg, titled From the ‘Hood to Hollywood, A Soldier’s Story.
On another note, the creator of the show Doug Ellin has his own story. He claims the idea rose from his own “entourage”, which surrounded David Schwimmer. Ellin, Schwimmer, a couple other friends became the basis for the show. Schwimmer became famous overnight with the start of Friends much like Vinny Chase did with his first movie ‘Head On’. Movieweb on Oct 26, 2006 wrote, “Ellin is working on the script that he cites several real-life situations as the basis for the pilot; production is set to begin later this year or early next year”.

WWE Night Of Champions Live Stream
Night of Champions is a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by professional wrestling promotion World Wrestling Entertainment(WWE). The event was created in 2001, with its inaugural event taking place on December 9, 2001 at the San Diego Sports Arena in San Diego, California. The inaugural event was produced as a pay-per-view under the name Vengeance, replacing Armageddon for that year due to the possible insensitivity of the latter’s name with respect to the September 11 attacks. The event in 2000 was rebranded as an annual PPV event for WWE. The 2002 event was exclusive to the Raw and SmackDown! brands. To coincide with the brand extension, the event was made exclusive to the SmackDown! brand in 2003 and in 2004 was made exclusive to the Raw brand. In 2007, to follow the format of WrestleMania, all PPV events became tri-branded.
Vengeance took over Fully Loaded’s pay-per-view spot during 2002 and in 2005 was moved once again, this time switching positions with The Great American Bash. The 2007 event was named Vengeance: Night of Champions, as all nine WWE championships were defended that night. In 2008, the event was renamed to Night of Champions, keeping the format of the 2007 event, in the process dropping the Vengeance name. In 2009, the event was moved back to July.
Professional wrestling is a non-competitive professional sport, where matches are prearranged by the promotion’s writing staff, and is also considered an athletic performing art, containing strong elements of catch wrestling, mock combat, and theatre. Each PPV event features several professional wrestling matches that involve different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers are portrayed as either villains or heroes in the scripted events that build tension and culminate into a wrestling match or series of matches.
Night of Champions is a pay-per-view (PPV) event consisting of a main event and undercard that feature championship matches and other various matches. Night of Champions was originally known as Vengeance from 2001 until 2006 and Vengeance: Night of Champions in 2007. The first Vengeance was produced as a pay-per-view event for the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), the former name of WWE. The inaugural event took place on December 9, 2001 at the San Diego Sports Arena in San Diego, California and aired live on PPV.
In 2002, WWF was court ordered to change their name, which resulted in the promotion changing its name to WWE. Later that year, WWE held a draft that split its roster into two distinctive brands of wrestling, Raw and SmackDown., and ECW in 2006. Before the draft, matches featured wrestlers from the roster without any limitations; after the draft, matches only consisted of wrestlers from their distinctive brands. The first Vengeance event to be produced under the WWE banner and with roster limitations was Vengeance (2002), which took place on July 21, 2002. The following year, WWE announced that PPV events, excluding WrestleMania, SummerSlam, Survivor Series, and the Royal Rumble, would be made exclusive to each brand; Vengeance was made exclusive to the Smackdown! brand in 2003 and in 2004 was made exclusive to the Raw brand. After three years of being produced as a brand exclusive event, Vengeance (2006) was the final Vengeance event that was brand exclusive, as WWE announced that PPV events from then on would feature all three brands of WWE.
Each Vengeance/Night of Champions event has been held in an indoor arena, with all nine events taking place in the United States.

Daisy of Love Reunion
Daisy de la Hoya chose London as the love her life on the season finale of her show 'Daisy of Love' Sunday. Daisy made her choice after bringing the men to Maui for an elimination and alone dates with her final two bachelors.
Love letters from Daisy
London's letter was also hard for him to read. In the letter Daisy said she wasn't sure she could trust London because every time they got close he would run away.
12 Pack's letter wasn't so bad, but he was hurt by the fact that Daisy said she doesn't feel like he has shown her his true feelings, yet.
Boarding and Dinner
Before her final dinner with the men Daisy took the bachelors paddle boarding. The group had a great time, and Daisy was excited by how open Flex was to trying something new. It took 12 Pack and London a little extra time to get in the water, but once they did they had a great time falling off their boards.
At dinner Flex and London got serious about their feelings, but 12 Pack had a hard time opening up. London said he had really strong feelings for Daisy and believed she was making him a better person. Flex interrupted London, calling him an unemployed, homeless loser. Daisy was really upset by Flex's behavior, but Flex said he couldn't help himself.
Daisy asked 12 Pack to tell him how he felt, but he just couldn't do it. Flex used 12 Pack's hesitation to tell Daisy how much he liked her and cared about her. 12 Pack finally gained the courage to tell Daisy he was falling in love with her but it seemed to be too little too late.
A tough goodbye
The next morning the men were driven to the airport, where Daisy and Riki were waiting for them.
Daisy decided it was time to let 12 Pack go. She said she wasn't willing to break down his guard right now, and he became very upset. He stomped around for a while and would barely let her say goodbye.
After she left with Flex for their date, 12 Pack broke down in to tears, telling the camera he doesn't think he will ever find love again.
The final dates
Daisy took Flex on a romantic helicopter ride, and she said she felt so safe with him holding her. They had a very short dinner together, but Flex was able to stay that he was falling in love with Daisy, something she reciprocated. Their meal was cut short because Daisy desperately wanted to take Flex back to her room. The couple spent the entire night together.
Daisy's date with London was a lot less romantic. They went horseback riding, which was fun, and later in Daisy's room London finally played Daisy her song. Daisy seemed more upset than excited about the song, and she told London he scares her because she cares for him so much but doesn't trust him. London ended up leaving the room with Daisy crying inside.
Her final decision
Before the elimination Riki told Daisy London is the man from her past, someone she would be repeating previous mistakes with. He also reminded her that London makes her cry and Flex does not.
Daisy's final decision, however was London. She told Flex he was everything she needed in her life, but she wanted London more than she could explain.
