Jeremy Piven

By STV 1/24 — Saw JEREMY PIVEN sweating off all of that mercury on the Stairmaster at Equinox. He had bags under his eyes that rivaled Droopy the Dog's. [Hollywood PrivacyWatch is written by and for Defamer readers; send your sightings to tips@defamer.com.]

By Seth Page Six Magazine writer Annie Karni reports that Jeremy Piven doesn’t always take kindly to direction. At a September Page Six Magazine photo shoot to promote his starring role in the Broadway revival of Speed-the-Plow, the actor was in a foul mood. “This isn’t my first time on the merry-g...

By Kyle Buchanan And the dodges. So dodgy! Check out this masterful response, after Diane Sawyer brings up the fact that Piven's play-quitting "mercury poisoning" didn't prevent him from hitting the clubs at night: "Let's be really clear: David Mamet is one of the greatest American playwrights."

By Kyle Buchanan 8:15: A hearty, hale Jeremy Piven loses the supporting actor TV prize to Tom Wilkinson for John Adams. Golden Globe producers celebrate the moment by cutting to the 30 Rock table, where a blond to the right of Alec Baldwin chooses the perfect moment to solicit lip gloss from Tina Fey.

By Kyle Buchanan Though we'd love to brainstorm the sort of hit on Piven that Broadway producers might organize (would it be a murder already beloved on film, but then adapted for musical theater in a splashy megamillion production?), we have a feeling that the Pivs won't be returning to New York anytime s...

By Kyle Buchanan On Monday, a jealous Walters promptly chastised the studio audience for shouting compliments to Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar, scolding, "When you see a group of people, you don't look at one of them and say, 'We love you.'"

By Kyle Buchanan Shepherd recounted the story today to her cohosts on The View—including a bored, openly contemptuous Barbara Walters. As Shepherd tells it, she upgraded with her miles, landing her and her hyper three-year-old son Jeffrey in a seat right next to the Entourage star. Sadly, Piven was not a f...

By Kyle Buchanan An intriguing therapy indeed—instead of realizing that he is an actor who plays the agent of Vincent Chase on Entourage, Piven thinks he is Vincent Chase on Entourage. Whether his role-playing session will lift his spirits and better his constitution remains to be seen, though we have a f...
