Applepie of MarkWahlbergFrance, has
granted me permission to post her Exclusive Reports from Paris. Click here to read. Thanks a bunch!
Thanks to
all who signed my Guestbook! It was so full I had to archive your
entries, which you can read here and
here!
Feel
free to add new ones to the guestbook.
I
received notice from Geocities, my site is too popular and they will
stop showing my site when I go over the data transfer quota (3GB/Month)
So if you visit and get nothing, it's Geocities' fault. Wait a day and
it should be OK. I'll see if I can find a way around it. ::sigh:: I may
have to move it again!
Finally got
around to getting a new format up just in time for The Entourage. This
site will remain up, but for this year and on - go to MarkWahlbergNews.tk.
It's built for browsers IE 6.0, Netscape 7.0 and should be fine on most
Mozilla/Firefox and Safari browsers. Unfortunately, I can only do so
much to hack the design to fit older browsers, so upgrade or you won't
see much.

Sorry its
been awhile but I had an family emergency the past few months. Its
still
taking up much of my spare time so updates may be very sporadic.
Mark's on Howard Stern Friday!
Yesterday the Boston
Herald announced that the NY premiere of The Entourage. Not much
notice, but hey one day notice for you who read the Hearld.
Variety
(via Yahoo) had a short article about the premiere and afterparty.
Pictures are at Wireimage
& Getty (arrivals
and after
party).
Also Variety confirms The Black Dahlia is filming starting August 1.

Tiny update from earlier this month from Greg over at Yahoo
Movies - I Heart Huckabee's rated R for language and a sex scene.
Well better late than never eh? The LA Premiere for The Entourage was
yesterday and pics are up on Getty,
and Wireimage.
Also Sonja heard Howard Stern was having Mark on this week! So make
sure you listen this week. I have no idea when he's on.
Thanks to Kaz: Chud is
running a contest to go to a screening for The Entourage.
Also the
Cincinatti Enquirer talked to someone from the area who is a
charcter that shows up a few episodes later. Funny enough, the
character's last name is Winestine - looks alot like a certain man's
last name who works for Mr. Wahlberg - doesn't it?
And by the by, Mark's Foundation has a new URL: http://mwyf.org/

A bit more on the LA screening of Farenheit 9/11 and Hollywood
supporting John Kerry from the
Hollywood Reporter.
From left to right: Ari (played by
Jeremy Piven), Turtle (Jerry Ferrara), Vince (Adrian Grenier), Eric
(Kevin Connolly) & Drama (Kevin Dillon)
HBO
finally set up a page for The
Entourage and has both the teaser and first full ad for the show to
download. In other news, seems the August issue of Playboy will have a
fashion feature with
the cast of The Entourage. Funny considering its not known for
showcasing clothes! Note Mark is NOT part of the cast so he's probably
not in it. Also in People's hottest bachelor issue, Jeremy Piven was on
the list.
More LA area screenings of Juvies:
Night Books and Basketball and
Christians Offering Love to Overcome Racism in Society invite the
public to a screening of the documentary film "Juvies,' which
chronicles the experiences of juvenile offenders who were tried as
adults. A panel discussion about the juvenile justice system will
follow. A donation of $25 to benefit NBAB is suggested. The screening
is from 6 to 9 p.m. Sunday at the All Saints Episcopal Church Forum,
132 N. Euclid Ave. For more information, contact Paige Heaphy at (626)

quote about E! T and it was in fact the other Walberg, not our Mark
playing.
06-16
More
Juvies coverage from the Boston
Globe. Also evidently there was an earlier screening of
Juvies at the same place and day (at 1pm) as a event sponsored by the
Boston chapter of the DemocraticLeadership
for the 21st Century.
 Thanks to Sylvie, a picture of the cast from TV
Tome and news Mark is playing
basketball for the Pasadena McDonald House. Not too sure if they
mean Mark or that other Walberg, but there you go.
Also E!
Online had a profile
on Adrain Grenier, who plays Vince in The Entourage

Either my
complaints went somewhere or I just have some psychic thing going on
because HBO just went mad updating. The June 11th issue of EW has a
small blurb on the Entourage in their July TV preview and just now saw
part of the preview for the show on HBO! No HBO? See it in Quicktime
or Real
Video!
And Six
Feet Under new season premieres this Sunday!
Also word Mark
was at a screening of Fahrenheit 9/11 - Roger Moore's award
winning documentary. For us non-hollywood types, it opens on the 25th.
06-09
Variety
via Yahoo had a review on Juvies.
The reviewer wasn't too impressed
with Mark's narration skills. : o
06-05
Happy Birthday Mark!!
06-03
On the Fox
Searchlight blog was a link to an
interview with David O. Russell in the
Independent (UK). Talking mostly
on Three Kings and the current Irag War.
Mark S over at MW.com
finally got something from Mark's 'manager'. Confirmed Huckabee's date
- of course we knew that weeks ago. Nothinng on the Entourage. Hmph!
A few more Juvies dates:
June 17-20 Oxford, Mississippi, Oxford Film Fest
June 23-27 NYC, Visionfest '04
HBO updated their calender, probably since I
complained the Canadians had theirs up already. lol Not! They still
don't have anything about the show up - which was what I really
complained about. Anyway Entourage debuts at 10PM! USA
Today also confirms this. Who needs managers when you have the
internet. lol
05-31
According to a Canadian
press release, the Entourage will air in Canada on The Movie Network and Movie Central. And it airs at
the same date as the US debut. So what day is that you ask? July 18! A
very Wahlberg day - the Michael Douglas golf event airs on ABC
that day too. Also read that screeners have gone to England just
recently so looks promising to be on in the UK as well!
Mark Wahlberg for John Kerry!
As
most of you know I'm notorious for interjected politics into this site.
:) But lookie lookie who donated to the John Kerry campaign!
If you're curious about Kerry you can check his site.
No matter who you support, if you're an US citizen and 18 years old by
November 2nd, register and vote in November. Here's some links to
register to vote:
Here's the site of my old boss: the California
Secretary of State In California you can become a permanent
absentee voter, so you don't have to wait in line in November. Just
fill out the ballot they send you and mail it.
Rock the Vote
Youth Vote
League of Woman Voters
And it's not just the usual suspects registering people. Seems strippers and porn stars have become proactive as well!
In other news, thanks to vevie - Mark was at the Lakers v Timberwolves
game last week. Pics at Getty images.
