Jeremy Piven: I Haven't Eaten Fish In 10 Months

people.com:

Hold the fish for Jeremy Piven.

"I haven't had a piece of fish since the doctor told me to lower my blood mercury level," the Entourage Emmy winner told PEOPLE during Thursday's Lakers celebration party at Los Angeles's Nokia Club. "So, it's been almost 10 months now."

He should try the humble pie.

Hasn't eaten Fish in 10 months? Is he talking about the guy from Barney Miller?

Piven is a wimp and a whiner. Celebritie­s can be beyond obnoxious is all.

leave him alone about that whole mercury thing. there's no reason not to just take him at his word for petes sake.

You would think he was the only actor to b0w out of a Broadway show, the way this was treated in the media.

He didn't "bow out." He left his cast in a lurch with no notice. You want to be his fan, fine, but if his career takes a hit, it's not the media's fault. Lots of producers don't want to work with people who pull stunts like that doozy.

Keep these hard hitting stories coming, HP!

What is it with HP's obsession with this nobody? They're constantly running stories about it.

It's not really about him, rather the threat of mercury contaminat­ion in the US.

What the heck am I saying? Too late, already pressed "enter"

There have been countless stories on HP about this nobody over the last year, none of them about contaminat­ed fish. They post this because it's about him.

Someone get this guy a kleenex so he can wipe his nose.

10 months is pretty much the same time frame since you were last respected on Broadway.

Many snide comments here. Mercury poisoning is no joke. I almost died from some sub-par vaccinatio­ns that were laced with ethyl mercury. (Yes, you have tests taken that measure your mercury levels. When they're sky high and you're sick as a dog, you do come to believe there's such a thing as mercury poisoning.­)

My body threw a huge tumour around the vaccinatio­n site which was bigger than a cantalope (Dr.'s descriptio­n, not mine) when they got it out. My health tanked for 4 years. The fact that everybody'­s treating this like it's a big joke reveals their own ignorance on the subject, not Priven's. More power to him for bringing it to the public's attention!

No one takes Mercury Poisoning as a joke......­....Mr. Piven on the other hand......­..

Piven's a character, that's for sure.

He needs his own nickname, kind of like "The Donald" Trump.

I vote for The Pivenator.

The trouble started when he donned the wig. He seemed normal when he was balding.

Really? Because OK! Magazine reported back in March that he was eating tuna tartare in public (March 4, to be precise -- it's online at http://www­.okmagazin­e.com/news­/view/1229­4 ). So, which magazine has the most accurate story?

would be amusing to hear about him eating crow once in awhile.
