Jeremy's Entourage No Longer Plowing...

So peeps want to talk all that sh** about Piven but check it. Since leaving the show he performed on Broadway called, "Speed-the- Plow", due to a mercury illness (read previous post for clarity), ticket sales are down $160,000 and down to 50% seat capacity, meaning the other 50% is empty.
I always say you should never burn bridges with the guy who helped (in a major way) bring cash flow to your venue regardless of how you may personally feel about him or his illness. I realize theater is an art but business is business.
I am wondering if anyone has taken anyone's temperature with a THERMOMETER lately over at the production of "Speed-the-Plow", curious... how ya feelin?

The Pivs

Okay so I'm surfin the net, and I see that peeps are givin Jeremy Piven crapadoodle cuz he's ill. Piven had to drop out of his broadway run of Mamet's, "Speed-the-Plow" due to extreme (six times the norm) mercury levels in his blood. It appears Piven's diet includes eating a ton of sushi which can cause this illness due to fish being a primary ingredient in sushi, usually. Mamet's response to Daily Variety to Piven's illness, “My understanding is that he is leaving show business to pursue a career as a thermometer.” Ouch!

We love you Piven. Get better soon!
