We've Got A Jumper!

Romania's Parliament canceled a no-confidence vote on Thursday after a father whose payments for his disabled child had been cut by the Romanian government leapt from a balcony in his country's parliament in protest at the decision. He was not seriously injured. A loud thud reverberated in the chamber after the man, Adrian Sobaru - identified by the country's public television station as one of its engineers - hit the benches shortly after Prime Minister Emil Boc greeted the lawmakers. As he jumped, he could be heard shouting: 'Boc, you've taken away the rights of our children'. Mr Sobaru, who suffered fractures to the face, and other non life-threatening injuries, was able to get into the parliament because he works as an electrician for the national television station. He then shouted "Liberty and Justice" as he was taken to hospital. He was also wearing a T-shirt with the slogan: 'You've killed our future', according to reports....

Entourage Movie?

More encouraging news for Entourage fans who don’t want to say goodbye to Eric, Vincent, Johnny and Turtle when the HBO show wraps next year: Mark Wahlberg, who exec produces the comedy, acknowledged to EW that he hasn’t stopped thinking about a possible Entourage movie and “we want it to happen.”

“We have one last season left on TV and then it would probably take place after the finale,” Wahlberg said while walking the red carpet for Monday’s premiere of The Fighter. “There are places to go. I’m still here all these years later, aren’t I? My story didn’t end in my 20s.”

Wahlberg added one caveat, however: “We won’t make it if we don’t have a good script.”

Last summer, HBO announced that Entourage will wrap during the summer of 2011 after eight seasons. At the time, HBO chief Michael Lombardo said that Encourage creator Doug Ellin wanted to write a film.

Meanwhile, Wahlberg’s relationship with HBO continues to extend far beyond Entourage. He’s also an executive producer on In Treatment, How to Make it in America and Boardwalk Empire, as well as several pilots in development (one of which focuses on the CIA and another about the porn) that the actor is developing under his Closest to the Hole production banner. “I do it all full time,” Wahlberg says about this TV production work. “I don’t do anything half-ass so I don’t think in terms of quitting acting to just produce or vice versa. I don’t have to, so why? I like doing it all. Usually, I want to be doing the complete opposite of whatever I am doing at the time. Certainly when I was working out in a ring for five hours for [The Fighter], I dreamed about sitting in my cushy office reading a script for Entourage. And no matter what I’m doing, I’m wishing I was playing golf.”

As for developing shows exclusively for HBO, Wahlberg said he’s got a good thing going. “Why fix something that isn’t broken? I like that we have more flexibility in the kind of shows we can make with them and the subject matter we can cover. There’s more freedom on cable.”
