New York City, red carpet, HBO signage, and some of the most eligible bachelors in the world can only mean one thing – Season 4 of Entourage is here! “The Vine” at E! Online has an exclusive sneak peek on what’s in store for Vinnie Chase, Johnny Drama, E, Turtle, and particularly, potty-mouthed agent Ari Gold.

According to the man behind Ari, Jeremy Piven, this season he plans on “fleshing out the heart of this guy.” In a scene that includes a cameo from Dan Castellaneta as a school headmaster, Ari’s told that his ways could damage his children’s’ education.

I have to admit, if there’s one thing I love about Entourage, it’s Ari’s vocabulary. Just when you think he couldn’t get any more vulgar, he outdoes himself. He’s actually turned it into an art form, and the lingo has crossed over into the mainstream. How many people do you know who’ve used the phrase, “Hug it out, bitch” since it was first uttered in Season One? Speaking strictly from a character standpoint, as much as it would be nice to see a softer side of the uber-agent, especially for the benefit of his family, I don’t think Ari should drastically change his ways. After all, it’s his “never take no for an answer” attitude that has worked for him, and paid to give his family the life they have grown accustomed to. We have seen that Ari has a heart; remember how torn up he was over losing Vinnie as a client? And I think it went beyond the dollar signs.

Can Ari do what’s right for his kids and still keep his edge? If he reforms his crass ways, will he lose the magic that makes him one of the most intriguing characters on TV to date?

Ari kicks major ass, and takes no prisoners. But there's something deeper than he's willing to show, and Piven plays this role to perfection. In a majority of the "family" situations we watch, I can't believe his wife hasn't kicked him out, or worse.

But as Ari said in the episode with the shrink "goodbye wife number 1, and shrink number 7"...to which the wife states "you're only our 5th". At least they keep trying.
