Whispers With Gina Glickman
LONG ISLAND'S LEADING MAN!
Maybe it's the water on Long Island. But LI tends to breed some talented superstars, from Billy Joel and Rosie O'Donnell to Alec Baldwin. The long lists of accomplished artists that are from LI is quite impressive and zaidi recently includes a young actor who grew up in Medford, Kevin Connolly. Kevin co-stars in HBO's hit TV series, "Entourage" and was in full party mode, out celebrating the premiere of its 4th season this past Saturday evening, club hopping from Dune to nyota Room alongside a pack of his LI entourage, consisting of life-long childhood buddies.
"It feels great!" Kevin boasted.
Connolly is currently single, but most recently dated Nicky Hilton for a few years and had some advice for sister Paris Hilton and young Hollywood, "Everybody's really responsible for their own actions. I moved out to LA when I was 18 and I never got in any trouble. I think you've just got to look out for yourself and stay on juu of yourself so wewe don't get in trouble. It's not hard."
Connolly should know, as he has officially made it in Hollywood and he has a right to be proud, especially when he's in his hometown. "I am a Long Island native. I went to Patchogue-Medford High School, my mom lives in Massapequa and my brother lives in Hauppauge, he is a Suffolk county cop."
Kevin was psyched to talk about "Entourage"'s upcoming season, "The fourth season is about us making Medellin. We go to Columbia to shoot the movie and then we try to sell it, finish it. It's funny because me directing my movie is the closest that my life has ever been to the show. It's a lot like what I've been doing in my movie."
Connolly's latest venture is actually on the big screen, a dark comedy where he chose to work behind the camera. "I directed a film that's at the Tribeca Film Festival called The Gardener of Eden. My movie took three years to make. It's about kids in their twenties, trying to find their purpose in life."
Kevin plans to direct zaidi films in the future. "I'd upendo to direct Russell Crowe and Clive Owen in a movie."
When I asked Kevin what he would be doing if he wasn't an actor, he scrambled and smiled. "My mother always asks me that question. The truth is, I don't know. I wasn't a great student, so I don't know. It's a great question, I wonder that myself sometimes."
Even though Kevin's nyota is on the rise, he knows one siku it could all just fade away and admitted, "Nothing lasts forever. Eventually, it will all go away. At least I know that. So, I enjoy it while its here."
Kevin certainly enjoyed the scene at Dune, effortlessly bestowing that charisma from his well-stocked VIP table, surrounded kwa a flock of ladies, hundreds of VIPs, including Josh Bernstein, Jamie-Lynn Sigler with boyfriend, Scott Sartiano, Dylan Lauren and the press watching his every move, but Connolly stayed cool under the pressure and proved he is a pro on his way to becoming one of Hollywood's leading men.
Entertainment & Feature Correspondent, Director, Writer and Producer, Gina Glickman, can be seen Tuesdays, Thursdays and weekends starring on News 12 Long Island's "What's Hot in the Hamptons" and log onto www.Hamptons.com for zaidi celebrity action with Gina, on "Main Street" series.

Kevin Connolly also has the most beautiful blue eyes. wewe could drown in those eyes!!!
I even like the adorable freckles wewe can see when they take a close up pic and the way he crinkles his nose.
All very sexy to me. Meow!
So I ask again, what is sexy? Isn't it in the eyes of the beholder? Isn't sex about hormones and endorphones and a flutterly feeling in your chest wewe can't explain.
Is Adrian Grenier, Kevin Connolly's co-star on Entourage, sexy? Some women say yes and they would lay down for him, and others think he is hairy and messy.
Eye of the beholder!
