Jeremy Piven Says Mystery Mercury Illness Was "Crippling"


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
Jeremy Piven Makes Up With \"Speed-the-Plow\" Costar, Talks Poisoning At Globes
Jeremy Piven talked about his mercury poisoning and claimed to have made up with at least one of his "Speed-the-Plow" costars. 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

Jeremy Piven 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 at a party.

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

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.

On the contrary, the more overconfident Piven gets, the more generally repulsive he becomes to those around him. He's a big believer in "don't you know who I am?", and feels like a superstud because he's always picking up groupies and bar flie
Jeremy Piven struck out with Hayden Panettiere
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. She wasn’t having his feeble attempts and got out of there as soon as possible:
Jeremy chatted up Heroes hottie Hayden Panettiere - who, at 19, is 24 years younger than Jeremy. “He was trying to be charming and kept saying he ‘wanted to show her around town,’”
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.”

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

Yes, Tina Fey trashed The Envelope's forum posters!
That's right. When she won the Golden Globe as best actress in a TV comedy series, Tina Fey ("30 Rock") mentioned how hurt she is by some of the tough things The Envelope's forum posters say about her in their postings. Here's the transcript of her acceptance speech:
'Slumdog Millionaire' is the top dog
The movie about an underdog wins four awards, including best dramatic picture. A tribute to the late Heath Ledger balances the ceremony.
In a ceremony alternatively as solemn and celebratory as the movie that won a leading four prizes -- the rags-to-riches drama "Slumdog Millionaire" -- Sunday night's Golden Globe Awards helped focus the Oscar race as it honored the late Heath Ledger for his performance in " The Dark Knight."
