Now that Jeremy Piven’s fishy tale is safely off the hook–an arbitrator ruled in Piven’s favor in the dispute with the producers of Broadway’s Speed-the-Plow over his departure from the play–I suppose it won’t hurt to reveal what I heard. Last year, around the same time that Piven claimed that mercury poisoning forced him to drop out of David Mamet’s play, I attended a Tiny Vaudeville production in Los Angeles with Piven’s then personal assistant. Sitting in the theater waiting for the show to begin, I couldn’t resist asking about his boss’s fish eating habits. If anybody was to know the real story, it had to be the assistant; who do you think was making all those posh sushi bar reservations and placing to-go orders for sashimi? His response was discreet, but definitive–the mercury poisoning was "bullshit."
Of course Piven’s assistant may have grown tired of wiping down his master’s sweaty yoga mat and picking up organic corn chips in the middle of the night, so I’m willing to give our former cover boy the benefit of the doubt. Either way I’m happy to see the notoriously cantankerous Mamet get tushy-shtupped
It’s good to give him the benefit of the doubt. You never know what is true in Hollywood.
I hardly think anyone should be penalised for pulling out of a David Mamet yawnfest. Perhaps it wasn’t the mercury, he may have just been choking on Mamet’s pretension.
Jeremy…smoking hot :P
