Before there was Desperate Housewives, Melinda Clarke was the original desperate housewife on The O.C.  Now, television's favorite MILF will be transferring those skills to Entourage, as she returns this season.

Clarke has played a fictionalized version of herself on the show in the past, one that is married to Terrance McQuewick.  Now, her "character" will return and will be starring in a television show within the show about a housewife by day and a spy by night.

In other Entourage news, Michael Ausiello has already watch the July 12 season premiere and informs us that the episode is mostly about Ari and Lloyd.  Basically, Lloyd wants a promotion and Ari isn't giving him one.
