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.

Jeremy Piven Blames Sushi for Broadway Cancellation

Some 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 Jeremy Piven has abruptly left the Broadway production. A high level of mercury is apparently the reason for the Piven’s medical leave.

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.
