George Clooney is better dressed than you. Yes, he has movie-star looks and more money than several third-world countries, but the secret to his success is the suit—the man practically sleeps in a three-piece.

The mechanics of a successful awards program are fairly straightforward. Someone does something you like. You give them an award to show your appreciation. They accept said award and smile. Handshakes ensue. Clapping and/or cake may be involved. That's not the hard part.

Based on my love of Lost, I decided to check out FlashForward last Thursday. It was okay I guess. Overall I wasn't too impressed.

You won’t find his name listed among the “Entourage” credits (although it has been mentioned on the show), but Washington Crossing resident Scott Seigal is among the most important behind-the-scenes players on the hit HBO comedy. If Seigal doesn’t like something in the script, there’s a good chance it won’t make it onto the show.

“He reads every script before it airs,” says “Entourage” creator/executive producer/head writer Doug Ellin. “He’s probably the first person after the show’s inner circle who sees them.” So is Seigal some highly respected Hollywood insider? A famous screenwriter?

Nope, just the vice president of sales at Bodek and Rhodes, a Philadelphia-based wholesaler of imprintable activewear.
