Posted: 1/16/09 at 9:24pmRytost, I believe that it is a proper way to say that they are calling Piven out on his bulls***. I don't think that this is a PR stunt. I feel that he had this coming. Had he stayed under the radar for at least the remainder of the run of the show then people might not have thought there was a problem. But, it does look strange when your traveling to Bangkok and going to the Golden Globes etc.

Posted: 1/16/09 at 10:25pmDear, dear, dear! All of this is because Piven is too lazy to prepare anything but tuna out of the can!

Do you think there's a chance he'll be Randied?
(as in Randy Quaid)
(Does anyone remember?)
(Will he be banned from the stage? Is there a chance? Not that I'm looking forward to it. I mean, at least he didn't get someone to attack the producers.)

Posted: 1/17/09 at 10:12amWell I guess they GOTTA sell tickets! If Piven is going to talk about the situation, why shouldn't the producers try to catch some interest,too. LOL!!!

He was apparently so difficult to work with, and treated his fellow Equity actors so poorly, that after the Lone Star Love debacle, Equity banned him for life.
