“Entourage” creator Doug Ellin is to marry his girlfriend Maddie Diehl after proposing with the help of caustic comic Andrew Dice Clay.
Ellin proposed to Diehl, his love of 3 ¹/₂ years, on Friday. But instead of opting for the traditional bended knee scenario, he roped in the Diceman to pop the question for him in the middle of a show in Vegas that night.
Clay told the audience at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, including Doug and Maddie, “He [Doug] brought my entire career back with his hit show ‘Entourage,’ ” and said Ellin was “one of the finest f - - king guys I’ve met in my entire life.” He added, “At this moment, at this time, he wanted witnesses. Maddie, your boyfriend Doug Ellin wants to ask you right now in front of this crowd, will you be his wife?”
Diehl posted a picture of herself and Ellin on Instagram and wrote, “Happiest day of my life!”
Ellin confirmed the engagement Tuesday night and said, “It was very cute and nice.”
It has been a big few days for Ellin. On Tuesday, he released the long-awaited trailer for the “Entourage” movie, which opens June 5.
It features regulars from the HBO show including Adrian Grenier, Jeremy Piven, Kevin Connolly, Jerry Ferrara and Kevin Dillon, as well as cameos from Billy Bob Thornton, Haley Joel Osment and Kid Cudi.
