Poor, Defenseless Sashimi Addict Jeremy Piven Cruelly Teased At Golden Globes
While we already covered the actors who didn't show up to last night's Golden Globes, there was one brave soul who triumphantly faced down a life-threatening disease in order to make a brave appearance at the show. That actor, of course, is Jeremy Piven. However, the fragile stage actor and sashimi addict, who recently conquered a bout of mercury poisoning so grave that it would've sent a weaker person to the morgue, was not given the kind of treatment last night that someone in his weakened state deserved.

G.W.W.E!: Jeremy “Put it In Me” Piven
If you have an expensive cable package, you love him as Ari on Entourage, and if you’ve only got basic, you love him from the small to medium roles he’s played in tons of various movies that were not always good. Now, on with the GWWEeeing…) Two Sundays ago, the Emmy’s were on. I don’t watch the Emmy’s because they’re boring and everyone is always thanking God — who probably doesn’t give a crap about your little gold statue when there are wars and fami

Piven speeds away from 'Plow' play - Entertainment News, Legit News, Media - Variety
Jeremy Piven will abruptly end his run in Broadway’s “Speed-the-Plow,” after missing Tuesday evening’s performance and a Wednesday matinee. Piven has informed the producers that he hasn’t been feeling well and that the condition is attributable to a high mercury count. The show’s producers weren’t returning calls, but Daily Variety reached out to David Mamet, who wrote the showbiz satire and seemed skeptical of the reasons for Piven’s departure. “I t

Broadway box office takes a dive - Entertainment News, Legit News, Media - Variety
The Broadway sales cume plummeted last week -- which was only to be expected, after the closure of a whopping nine productions the previous frame. Most of the shows still on the boards also fell off from their strong holiday showings. Only a few productions bucked that trend, including "South Pacific" ($950,130), the tight-ticket tuner that rose by $9,000 and was one of the few shows to play to full houses. The revival of "Speed-the-Plow" ($334,428) also managed to rise slightly, with thesp Norbert Leo Butz

Hot Clicks: Bad day for Giants, but not for Tiki - Extra Mustard - SI.com
The Giants' chances of repeating as Super Bowl champs officially ended yesterday, but the season was really over when Plaxico Burress shot himself. The team was never the same after that, and it's tough to win a playoff game when your starting receivers are Steve Smith , Amani Toomer and Domenik Hixon . One Giant who did have a decent Sunday, though, was Tiki Barber . Sure, he had the embarrassing task of hosting a Golden Globes preshow, but at least he got to see the likes of Beyonce , Salma Hayek

Jeremy Piven’s friends try to discourage him….
After picking up his third successive acting award for his role in TV hit Entourage, Jeremy took a camcorder into one of the star-studded Los Angeles after parties - where he told celebrity pals about his forthcoming role in David Mamet play Speed-The-Plow. In a staged skit, which appears on Will Ferrell’s website Funnyordie.com, Laura Dern, Mary Steenburgen, Jamie Foxx and Seth Meyers all warn Jeremy Piven against taking to the stage. When he tells Laura Dern and Mary Steenburgen he came from the theat

The Love List: Bangs, Elections and Little Knowles
I love to love things. It’s true. So much so that I used to say “Love You” on my voicemail - until my friends instructed me that not only is it not true (”Do you LOVE your Dr’s office who calls to confirm your appointment?”), but that it was also a tad creepy to the strangers calling to leave messages on my phone. So I changed it. And focused my love on other things. A now - for your benefit - I will bring you a weekly Love List. On all things I love. Because if I love t

Entourage 5.6 - Redomption
Can you believe that “Entourage” is already halfway through the new season? It sure doesn’t seem like it, but that’s probably because despite hinting at where the story could be headed, the show hasn’t made very much progress in actually getting there. Following on the heels of what many considered one of the worst episodes to date, tonight’s show wasn’t that much better. I’m not exactly sure why anyone thought it was a good idea to bring back Dom – a character that a lot of fans complaine

FOX411: Jeremy Piven: Mercury Rising
The annual Golden Globe Awards were the usual mixed bag as produced by the Hollywood Foreign - er, freak - Press Association. Kate Winslet wound up winning two awards, Sean Penn refused to attend because the group snubbed his movie, "Milk," and Colin Farrell gave a sideways insult to the doddering fools who vote the ballots, collect $6 million tax-free dollars from NBC and are famous for publicly fighting among themselves. But then there are the parties at the Beverly Hilton following the show. And even

Yo, At Least No Birds Pooped On Our Heads This Week
Well, the good part about this week is that banks all around the world did not explode, some kind of bailout plan was passed (though don’t ask us to decode it), Sarah Palin and Joe Biden managed to be civil and keep their mouths from f*ckng up at their debate (plus, a new favorite catch phrase was born!), Jeremy Piven’s hotness did not wane, weed suddenly became good for us, and we found out the identity of the REAL Joe Six Pack. Let’s see, what else happened that wasn’t completely
