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: 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

The Piven Strikes Out With The Midget. Milo Will Kick His Ass When He Stops Laughing
This is not Piven. And never will beTalk about someone living their role. Jeremy Piven may not have always been as arrogant and smarmy as his character, Ari, on Entourage, but by all accounts he has grown into his character. It hasn't, however, grown him any friends. 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.

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,’”

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

The Broadway sales cume plummeted last week -- which was only to be expected, after the closure of a whopping nine productions the previous frame.

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
