The Hollywood-centric series kicks off its farewell tour with a party in New York on July 19 in anticipation of its July 24 return.

For years, the HBO show had double premieres, bicoastally, each season. Then, for a few more years, the hot-ticket soiree has taken place only in the show's native setting of L.A.

Apparently, Ellin is also scouting New York locations for his new HBO series 40, with Ed Burns, shooting in September, which Ellin refers to as "the educated Entourage."

Ellin has a reputation for going for hot topic guest stars -- he pursued Charlie Sheen for a possible  guest slot last season but never heard back.
