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

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

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 Makes The Emmys BYOB
Awards ceremonies can be boring, but Jeremy Piven and his “Entourage” wife, Perry Reeves, know how to keep things interesting. During the Emmy Awards ceremony in LA, our source spotted Mr. and Mrs. Ari Gold sipping from a concealed bottle of what was seemingly booze. “Jeremy Piven had a bottle wrapped in a napkin, hiding whatever it was,” said our spy - who saw him and Reeves “taking swigs from it throughout the entire show.” (source) Monday, Septem

Jeremy Piven, 43, won an Emmy for his some-say typecast performance as douchebag agent Ari Gold on Entourage. He wasn’t as lucky after the awards ceremony when he tried to put the moves on actress Hayden Panettiere, 19, at a party.

So voila: your daily dose of Piven.  Enjoy.

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

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.

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

Hollywood PrivacyWatch: Special Polo Lounge-Madness Edition [Hollywood PrivacyWatch]
Went to the Polo Lounge this past Friday for lunch with a friend, fancy I know, but it was on his work account. Anyway...Tom Cruise was having lunch with about 15 other people, including his mom and craaaazy sister. It was a corner table outside. I was inside, just watching so couldn't hear what they said. They all had champagne, but I couldn't tell which kind, Moet I think. He had a salad. I think it's called the MacArthur salad, or something like that. He did not make eye contact with anyone in the restau
