Should Be Looked at: Sloan. Can't Stop Staring at: Turtle's sweater vest.

Google “entourage douchebag” and a link from Warming Glow appears third on the search list. That is unacceptable: this should be the foremost website for pointing out the douchebaggery on TV’s douchiest show, “Entourage,” which premieres for its eighth and final season this Sunday on HBO.

With that in mind, and with the wonderful thought of the show finally being off the air after seven years and approximately five clever jokes, here are the 10 biggest douchebag moments from “Entourage.”

If you have eyes, you’ve probably seen print ads for CBS’s remake of “Hawaii Five-0,” starring Scott Caan, Daniel Dae Kim (“Lost”), the delicious Grace Park (“Battlestar Galactica”), and the blandly handsome guy that CBS keeps casting in shows that fail (Alex O’Loughlin of  ”Three Rivers” and “Moonlight”). Sunday’s New York Times examined the show’s aggressive marketing campaign, and I REALLY hope the last part of this quote is speculation:

The campaign includes commercials on CBS, of course, along with spots on CBS Radio stations and in movie theaters; tune-in ads in newspapers and magazines; aerial ad banners; billboards; and ads on newsstands, atop taxi cabs and in train stations.

And do not be surprised if during a coming National Football League game on CBS, an announcer describes a play on the “five-0” yard line.

Midfield. It’s called midfield. Or simply “the fifty.” Dammit, I’ve waited seven excruciating months for the NFL to come back, I don’t need Dan Dierdorf reminding me to watch a shiny new cop show IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PLAY. (Gus Johnson, however, can call it whatever he wants. I’d let that dude have sex with my wife, as long as he let me listen.)

In what’s slowly becoming one of the more talked-about pilots this season, Scott Caan has been cast as Danny “Danno” Williams in the CBS remake of “Hawaii Five-O.”

Williams, who was played by James MacArthur on the original series, is a New Jersey cop who has recently undergone an acrimonious divorce and has transferred to Hawaii to be near his 7-year-old daughter. Forced to partner with McGarrett, Danno is initially leery of their association — but as he grows more familiar with his maverick new boss, he begins to appreciate the opportunity to work with McGarrett.

The character’s name was immortalized by McGarrett’s catchphrase, “Book ‘em, Danno!” which closed most episodes of the original series and is expected to live on on the new show. [THR]

Dare I say it? This show actually looks… promising? Not only do I approve of the Caan casting because he’s so good at playing likable A-holes, but the show is written by geek heroes Robert Orci and Alex Kurtzman (Star Trek), stars Alex O’Loughlin (“The Shield”), and features attractive Koreans Daniel Dae Kim (“Lost”) and Grace Park (“Battlestar Galactica”). Mmmm… Grace Park. I’d like to break through her Pusan Perimeter, if you what I’m sayin’. That’s some Korean War humor, son.

Notorious turdsmith Brett Ratner will direct a new FOX comedy starring Scott Caan called “Cop House,” a show that I feel desperately needs an exclamation point.  Cop House!  See?

On “House,” set at a halfway house for troubled cops, Paradigm-repped Caan will play a champion marksman who suffered a nervous breakdown after his wife left him for his sister.

Also cast in the pilot is Curtiss I’Cook as an intense cop prone to random, violent outbursts.

Hilarity ensues!

Who could have thought that Brett Ratner would pair two cops of different races together for side-splitting results?  And don’t forget the gratuitous lesbian subplot!  Ratner, you genius!  You’ve done it again!  Your finest masterpiece since Rush Hour 3!
