VIDEO: Jeremy Piven’s Mercury Excuse Still Stinks

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Videos


If Ari Gold were Jeremy Piven’s agent, I have a feeling he might advise his client to leave his elaborate mercury poisoning stories in the past. Unfortunately, Ari’s not…and Jeremy won’t.

On last night’s Late Show broadcast, the Entourage star - once again - set out to clear his name. Unfortunately, he talked about this thing that “sounds like a rich man’s disease” for nearly 5 awkward minutes. Uggh - move on already and bring me back some crazy Anne Heche!

Despite a calculated sit-down with Diane Sawyer last Thursday, Jeremy Piven can’t keep the doubters off his back.

Just weeks after exiting his stage production, the former Speed-the-Plow star has had a grievance filed against him by his former bosses. Although its unclear what the show’s producers hope to achieve with this action, the David Mamet play has taken a financial hit since Piven’s sudden departure.

Jeremy Piven’s Broadway Exit Felt at the Ticket Booth

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories:

Jeremy PivenEven if you’re having trouble buying ‘s fishy excuse, there’s no denying the actor’s appeal.

Last week, the Entourage star abruptly pulled out of his Broadway engagement due to a reportedly high level of mercury. The producers of Speed-the-Plow were then forced to find last-minute find replacements for Piven’s role as Bobby Gould. (Norbert Butz began his stint on Tuesday; William H. Macy finishes the run starting January 11.)

Unfortunately, Jeremy’s absence has already had a huge effect on the production’s box office numbers. In the few days while Jordan Lage was substituting, ticket sales for the week fell nearly $160,000 to $326,559. The actors also performed to houses that were only half full. But Piven was, surprisingly, not missed. At least not by former co-star Raul Esparza.

Jeremy Piven Blames Sushi for Broadway Cancellation

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories:

Jeremy PivenSome celebrities blame vertigo for their absences, others chalk it up to simple “exhaustion.” But up until now, I doubt anyone has pleaded guilty to an overconsumption of sushi.

After missing several performances of Speed-the-Plow earlier this week (that’s the same play Madonna once starred in), Entourage star has abruptly left the Broadway production. A high level of mercury is apparently the reason for the Piven’s medical leave.

A twice-a-day sushi meal and a regular intake of Chinese herbs are believed to be the factors behind Jeremy’s illness. A high level of mercury can apparently lead to cause cardiac arrest, kidney failure, even psychiatric problems

After hearing skeptical comments about Jeremy’s excuse (playwright David Mamet joked that his Piven was “leaving show business to pursue a career as a thermometer”), the actor’s physician came to his defense. According to Dr. Carlon Colker, the 43-year-old had been feeling ill for some time. When Colker discovered that Piven had a mercury level “almost six times the upper limit of normal and allowable,” he warned the producers back on December 10.
