Viral Video (And Perfect Casting): Mark Cuban on "Entourage"

Kara Swisher in News on September 1, 2010 at 1:21 am PT

Of course, it makes perfect sense for Mark Cuban to appear in a very long and involved cameo as himself on the HBO original comedy series “Entourage.” Heck, the fun-loving Internet billionaire could easily slip into the pack of young Hollywood dudes on the show and seem part of the gang.

Liveblogging the Geo-Location Announcement: Oh, the Facebook "Places" You'll Go

Kara Swisher in News on August 18, 2010 at 4:28 pm PT

BoomTown motored on down the lovely Highway 280 in Silicon Valley to Facebook to hear execs talk about a new geo-location feature the powerful social networking site is rolling out. The new name of the service, which will be deeply integrated into its current update system, as I reported earlier, will be “Places.” There will be no games, no mayors and no special discounts either in Facebook Places–just plain and simple checking in and, presumably, taking names.

Peter Kafka in Media on July 29, 2010 at 12:27 pm PT

Why did ESPN kill a pretty tame Web story about the most famous athlete in America? Hard to guess. In any case, it doesn’t matter now: On a slow summer day, it’s perfect fodder for bored Web surfers.

Viral Video: Next Week on "Entourage"…The Exact Same Plot, Over and Over

Kara Swisher in News on June 24, 2009 at 7:00 am PT

Why can’t BoomTown stop watching the dopey machinations of the boys of “Entourage”? Because, it’s always more of the same on the popular HBO show, which is oddly comforting–a revelation that College Humor mocks perfectly in a very funny online video called “Every Week on Entourage.” “So many twists and turns, you’ll forget they’ve been using the same formula for five seasons,” explains the humor site.

Lloyd Braun's Not Going to Take It Anymore: "I Am Not an Umbrella Thief" (and He's Not, Actually)

Kara Swisher in News on December 19, 2008 at 10:16 am PT

The object of his ire was dropped right in the middle of a blog post about how Yahoo was “reversing its Hollywoodification” at its Santa Monica media unit offices. The piece also included old allegations from a devastating story in November of 2005 about Braun, which made him look like a digital version of Ari Gold from “Entourage.” Unfortunately, as BoomTown has found out, the bulk of those juicy anecdotes about him don’t actually check out. And therein lies a complex tale that still reverberates at Yahoo today.
