New York, June 30 – It’s good to see that despite becoming a movie star, Mark Wahlberg hasn’t forgotten his roots. The former Calvin Klein underwear model was all decked out in a white undershirt, jeans and work boots at the premiere of the new HBO series Entourage. He told us that if his mother hadn’t been there, he would’ve worn a suit. (We don’t get it either.) Wahlberg is an executive producer of the show, about a young Hollywood star and his entourage, made up of his longtime buddies from Queens.

“When people see the show, they’ll realize, I think after seeing an entire season, they’ll realize who the movie star is based on. It’s uh, I don’t want to give it away yet, but it’s more somebody that I’ve worked with in the past than myself”, Wahlberg said. (Someone whispered to us that the character may be based on Leonardo DiCaprio, who worked with Wahlberg in 1995’s Basketball Diaries. E-mail us any tips.)

We couldn’t get a straight answer from anyone on how many people they actually have in their entourage, but Michael Moore, dressed in shorts, gave a wonderfully deranged answer: “I don’t have any! I just wore shorts. I’m missing the other part of my pants.”
