When the seventh season of Entourage returns, Vincent Chase (played by Adrian Grenier) is going to have one heck of a girlfriend experience.

The creators of the show have just signed porn star, Sasha Grey for a re-occuring role as Vinnie’s girlfriend, reports TV Guide. The acclaimed adult film star whose last cross-over move was the 2009 independent film, The Girlfriend Experience directed by Steve Soderbergh, will be playing herself to support a storyline loosely based on the life of real life actor, Charlie Sheen. Back in the mid-90’s when Sheen was one of Hollywood’s hottest actors (much like Vinnie plays in Entourage), he dated porn star Ginger Lynn.

‘Sasha’s the biggest porn star in the world,’ Entourage creator Doug Ellin told TV Guide. ‘I wouldn’t have done this storyline if Sasha passed. Luckily she was okay with it.’

But Ellin isn’t the first to take notice of Sasha’s mainstream appeal, nor is Soderbergh. Back in 2008, The Roots played a major role in Sasha’s introduction to a world beyond porn, as they cast her in the video for their single ‘Birthday Girl’. On the next two pages, check out a trailer for Soderbergh’s The Girlfriend Experience and the video for ‘Birthday Girl’. Jozen Cummings
