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

Jeremy Piven Makes Up With \"Speed-the-Plow\" Costar, Talks Poisoning At Globes

At a Golden Globes afterparty Piven talked to Fox News about the uproar that happened when he dropped out of the Broadway play last month and his health leading up to it: "I was so sick for most of the run of the show. Some days I would sleep right until the time I had to go to the theater. I didn't know what was wrong with me. I was exhausted. Finally, I went to a doctor at Greenwi

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

Piven -- Fishing for Sympathy
Jeremy Piven is in the deep stuff with his ex-producers after bailing on his Broadway show, but he's still sticking to that mercury-poisoning tale. He tells Fox News he found he had a heart rate of 47 and his mercury levels from eating too much fish over the years was "off the charts." Piven says he's smoothed things over with his ex-co-stars, who were not at all shy about sharing their displeasure with JP publicly. Meanwhile, it was unclear whether Piven ate the entrée at last nigh

Jeremy Piven Says Mystery Mercury Illness Was "Crippling"
Jeremy Piven -- who dropped out of Broadway's Speed the Plow due to high levels of mercury -- made his first public appearance since falling ill at Sunday's Golden Globe Awards. "I think I'm going to lay pretty low," he told Usmagazine.com at the show. "I'm just kind of recovering. I'm getting better."

Jeremy Piven struck out with Hayden Panettiere
Jeremy Piven won an Emmy for his some-say typecast performance as douchebag agent Ari Gold on Entourage.

Chef Toshio Suzuki, Sushi Zen
If you pull up a chair at the sushi bar in Toshio Suzuki's restaurant Sushi Zen—and you definitely should—be aware that your days of slumming it with California rolls from the deli will soon become a thing of the past. While many chefs think of their culinary creations as art, Suzuki, who quite nearly became a monk in Japan, adheres to the age-old philosophy of "food as medicine" for the body and soul. And it certainly tastes better than Dimetapp; not for nothing did Citysearch's Feedbag deem S

Jeremy Piven: Be nice to me
“After a month of complete rest, I’m feeling better and better,” said the former B'way star of the mercury poisoning that led to his withdrawal from Speed-the-Plow. "What people don’t really know is that it’s a real illness and I am not a doctor, so I cannot identify specifically what brought me down."

Jeremy Piven: Scarfing Down Criticism
, 43, says that he's sick from mercury poisoning. Sick as a...fish if you will. Piven claims that his huge sushi consumption led to his illness, which is what he blames for pulling out of the Broadway production of David Mamet 's Speed-the-Plow . Some don't buy it. His co-stars had choice words for him at the time (playwright Mamet diagnosed that Piven "wants to be a thermometer"), and investors in the production are reportedly calling for an investigation into the legitimacy of Piven's c

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.

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

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

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
