Grenier’s new entourage.
The Entourage movie is supposedly a go, but Adrien Grenier must not have gotten his paycheck yet, because according to reports, he recently begged bar staff in St. Louis for free shots, and when they wouldn’t oblige, asked random girls to buy them for him. That is very un-Vinny Chase behavior, bro. You see? This is why he needs some of his boys from the old neighborhood around to keep him grounded. (*music cue, pool party montage*)
According to the Riverfront Times, Grenier showed up to the Three Kings Public House after a speaking gig at Washington University that the school paper officially described as: “Adrien Grenier Underwhelms at Graham Chapel.”
The crowd was thin to start, and even after Arian Grenier admitted to being single and open to a relationship, students continued to leave Graham Chapel, leaving only the first several rows occupied by the time he finished talking. […]
Grenier’s presentation centered primarily on his beliefs about environmental activism and SHFT.com, a website he co-founded to promote people and small businesses engaged in sustainable efforts. […]
Prior to playing a public service announcement about a plastic bag ban, Grenier praised Washington University’s own ban on plastic bags. […]
“Your efforts must not be reactionary but deliberate and absolutely folded into your every day and must sustain themselves for a lifetime in order to be effective…You must let yourself understand the big picture, but don’t get distracted by it,” he said. […]
Grenier also fielded a question about a possible “Entourage” movie. “If it doesn’t happen, I’ll give you a hundred bucks,” he promised a student.
Afterwards, he apparently headed off to a bar to drown his disappointment in booze and co-eds, which is exactly how my therapist Jack Daniels has advised me to deal with such things. But it sounds like that didn’t work out so well either.
From the Riverfront Times:
Grenier was sipping on Patron, soda and orange juice with a splash of lime. According to the bartenders, he repeatedly asked them to give him free shots (they refused) and then tried to get women in the bar to buy him shots. One fan allegedly asked the bartender what Grenier was drinking and after hearing his froufrou cocktail order, she bought him a shot of bourbon.
The Three Kings staff agreed that Grenier was “a real douche.”
Hey, you call it “acting like a douche,” I call it “viral marketing for the Entourage movie.”

If I was working at a bar and I served any member of the Entourage cast a drink, I would think long and hard about the shitty choices I made in my life to get to this, my lowest point.
I would have thought briefly about dropping some Visine into their cocktail and giving them an epic case of the shits.
Oh no, I would totally do that too but I would be upset about it.
He got word “it wasn’t going to happen” before he left the venue and had to give the student his last $100. No money for shots and more reason to drink. Poor Arian.
“Hey Adrien, have you ever tried a Warm Piss In A Shot Glass? I think you’ll like it.”
The article said he was given a bourbon shot, so yes.
If it wasn’t for Entourage he would be begging for change on the street, reminding everyone he was in that movie with Sabrina the teenage witch.
I really hope the Entourage bros get a hold of this and chime in. That is always entertaining
“Why would I get Me drunk. I’m not going to f*ck myself.”
Visit his SHFT site, where you can buy a few sticks of creosote-soaked driftwood for $50 to use to purify your water.
… or three clay “vessels” which “blur the boundary between the decorative and the functional – they can be used for sipping sake with friends or for simply looking pretty.”
Seriously, that’s from the website, I didn’t write it. $129 DON’T ALL THROW YOUR MONEY AT ME AT ONCE
There’s also a traditional popcorn popper (only $35) in case you want to have a campfire in your artsy loft. I think there’s a disconnect in Grenier’s understanding of “sustainability”. And “reality”.
Those pretty sake vessels are listed on the “affordable” page, BTW.
Al’s right. That SHFT site looks like a scheme to identify the future victims of a coming Asshole Holocaust.
“Ma’am, you bought a handmade, unironically described ‘Hipster Spatula’ for $24. I’m sorry but you’re going to have to step inside this artisanal oven and deal with the consequences.”
…And so began the ‘Hipster Holocaust’.
Sooo, it’s an Asshole-ocaust?
Nice.
A friend of mine says Mark Wahlberg once cornered him somewhere going off about Adrien Grenier. “I said this kid was gonna be a star and no one believed me! I told ’em so. I mean, he’s kinda half a fag, but I knew he was a star.”
Sounds about right.
Oh man SHFT is changing my life right now. They sell discarded skateboards that have been sanded down, “individually” repainted and stamped, for $150. You don’t even get f*ckin’ wheels.
I got a garage full of sh*t I could sell to these assholes.
I got a real money-maker here that’s also environmentally friendly: I’m gonna take a Bedazzler to all the old tires I can find, sell them to tw*ts for $150, and voila we saved the planet ’cause now all used tires are stored in formal livingrooms or dens.
silance, there’s 14 pages worth… just stop now. I’m begging you, as a friend. Save yourself.
You ain’t kiddin’. The $300 teepee that walked off the set of ‘Moonrise Kingdom’ nearly did me in.
The popped collar cat is the high water mark of comedy. It makes me pee every time I see it.
“Patron, soda and orange juice with a splash of lime” I’ve discovered something that makes me angrier than seeing a three fingered mulato laughing at a bucket of burning kittens.
Did I say 14 pages of shopping? I meant at least 45. And then I hilariously stumbled on a solar generator that I have legitimately been thinking about buying and now I feel like a douche.
I clicked on the “read” tab first. It’s almost totally photobooks/essays. Take “squares” for example:
“Squares is a series of non-existent urban places,” he writes. “I created fake aerial photos and city vertigos by sequencing the same section of sidewalks and meticulously assembling collections of people.”
So I guess SHFT stands for either “shift” or “shaft,” depending on what side of the transaction you’re on.
Whenever I see something like SHFT I think of this: [www.youtube.com]
Adrien is so full of SHFT.
Speaking as someone who was born, raised, and still resides in St. Louis, if you stick out as a douche among the already present sea of douches at the bars here then you’re definitely a world class piece of shit.
His problem was not going to high school there.
I have honestly only seen this guy in 2 things….Drive Me Crazy and Sebastian Cole….and apparently he was also in Hurricane but I have absolutely no recollection of that.
If I wasn’t aware that he had also been in an HBO series with the guy from PCU and the leprechaun from that Nikki Cox show with the talking bunny and Grace Under Fire’s abusive husband, I would totally have believed he had no money.
You seen Nikki Cox lately… more like Nikki Limp Cox amiright?!!
Yeah, Run Ronnie Run was as close to seeing her naked as I realized I would ever get.
And immediately after that….I was ok with it.
Of course….she nailed the aforementioned leprechaun, Bobcat Goldthwait and Jay Mohr so….is it any surprise she would make other terrible terrible decisions with her body and face?
In other words he is the male version of Gwyneth Paltrow.
Go ahead. Have your fun, but I’m gonna bet that the night still ended with douchey-douche’s face buried in muffin-topped, sloppy-drunk, yoga-panted, college-girl ass.
and we found the guy who will be first in line to buy his ticket for Entourage the movie.
Nope. Wash U students have more taste. Barely.
Adrien Grenier a douche? The guy from Drive Me Crazy? I refuse to believe it.
