Jeremy Piven tells all on Good Morning America tomorrow... — Page 2

Maybe my viewing of this is colored, but... I just felt like I was watching an interview with Ari Gold -- with a total bull**** artist. I'd like to feel badly for him, I really would, but there was NO sincerity in that interview. He couldn't even manage to fake it well?

(He did look good, though.)

---

He made it through more than a few performances. He made it through almost THREE MONTHS of the run.

---

I'm still confused as to when he was in the hospital for THREE DAYS...if it was during the run, wouldn't he have missed a show? And even if he hadn't missed a show because of it, wouldn't "Jeremy Piven Hospitalized" popped-up somewhere? Perez Hilton seems to follow his every move, I figured it would have been there.

What a weird story. And it keeps getting weirder.

I'm glad the show is in good hands, though.

Poor Raul.

It is a bit sad, really. I didn't watch the interview and I don't care to. For him, I don't think there's no turning back now. He's gonna stick with his story and hope people will forget, or just stop caring. Fans of his just hope he gets "better", and I'm sure producers just care that he gets back to shooting. All in all, this whole thing equals more press for him. Just from what's gone on so far, he doesn't seem like the type to admit he is wrong. I kinda feel bad for him, now. He can tell himself he was sick, and bored, or whatever, and I'm sure he can even make himself believe any of it. The bottom line is, he just couldn't deliver. And he's the one who's gonna live with that. It may bother him, it probably won't. Whatever, dude. You tried Broadway, failed, and ran out with your tail between your legs.

"Just watched it. I would not call it a great performance at all actually. He was lying so badly it was almost like watching an imitation of somebody lying. I'm sure he did have high mercury levels. That part is probably true. But no, I do not believe that that is why he left the show. He left the show because he was bored with it and he paid off a doctor to write a statement using his high mercury levels as an excuse for him to get out."

Agreed...

I'm offended on behalf of my fellow pescatarians!

He needs to shut up. No one cares anymore; we all pretty much can agree the mercury poisoning thing is suspicious to say the least. What an idiot.

@ bwaybud:

How much is he paying you? You've been here since '06, so you can't just be Piven fire-starting for himself. How much did he pay?

oh man good comeback gvendo, cant wait for the rest of you ****heads to chime in your little whitty opinions.

I'm just saying I would rather an actor pull out of a production then get hurt and keep pressing forward when they are sick. I believe that he is sick.

I also believe that the reason why people are calling his interview a "performance" is because in Entourage he does a wonderful job of allowing his natural characteristics to fire up the material.

To me the interview looks like he is trying to get his side of the story public while this woman contradicts him for good televisions sake.

seriously - i just hope they sue him

Witty is spelled w-i-t-t-y, bwaybud. But nice try.

Piven is full of sh*t and both Macy and Butz are leagues better than him in the role, so good riddance. So annoying.

Does anyone really believe he "ate sushi twice a day for 20 years"?

Really?

Twice a day for 20 years?

I dunno. I would eat sushi every day (or multiple times a day) if I could afford it.
