Watching "Entourage"

For surprising reasons, I got to watch two episodes of "Entourage" a couple of days ago. I'd heard a lot about it, and it has in it one of my favorite waiting-to-make-it-big starlets, Emmanuelle Chriqui. (By the way, getting named "Emmanuelle" could put a lot of pressure on a girl: besides the famous book-and-movie sensual series, which brings to mind Sylvia Kristel and Krista Allen, there's Emmanuelle Beart and Emmanuelle Vaugier)... that's good company. Anyway, even though my first introduction to Emmanuelle C. was in a movie where she ended up getting sliced in half (time to hit IMdB, people), I've been waiting for her to break out. She's getting noticed as 'Sloan' in "Entourage".

The thing about her is, despite her obvious cuteness and assets, she doesn't take great still pictures. She's more engaging in action than frozen in time. This one, in a nice dress, (totally safe) isn't bad, but I've yet to find the definitive "hot" Chriqui capture.

Here's a set of pics from the Entourage Season Six premiere (courtesy Popoholic). One thing she does is smirk at the camera sometimes. When the smile is more natural, she heats up.
