You’ve been wondering whatever happened to the ol’ Pivenator, right? Of course you haven’t, but he still wants you to know that he was totally telling the truth about eating so much fish that he was sweating pure mercury:
“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.”
Piven, 43, abruptly left the Broadway revival of David Mamet’s Speed-the-Plow mid-run in December with an ailment his doctor called fatigue from mercury poisoning.
Miffed over his departure from the show, producers filed charges with Actors Equity against Piven, with the case currently tied up in arbitration…
The path to health, he says, is, “You just change your life and kind of do it. It wasn’t necessarily the sushi. It was just a steady diet of fish. Twice a day for 20 years. That’s not right for anyone.”
Neither was Smokin’ Aces, dude, but you still took the money. Well, it’s no wonder you don’t have an appetite for fish anymore. You must be stuffed after months of eating your own words.
By the way, Piven might not eat fish anymore, but he still gets soaked to the gills.
Update: Hey, since he’s no longer a “piscaterian,” does that mean he’s dropping the pretense that he doesn’t eat animals? Hope so. If you’ve ever seen one of his movies, you know he doesn’t really have anything against ham.
Update: Pinpuller in the comments, for the win: “I think this explains his falling out with Ellen.”

I wonder if the fish industry will go after him the way that the beef industry went after Queen Oprah? Nah, no one listens to him.
Liar. Who eats fish twice a day for twenty years? What is he a dolphin?
I think this explains his falling out with Ellen.
Piven is so stupid he can’t even get the math right.
He
quittook medical leave from Speed-The-Plow in December. In March, OK! Magazine posted the article that said he’d been caught eating calamari on Feb 28 (said article was part of a Deceiver article, by the way).So HTF does he get “no fish in ten months”???
That there’s my inspriational quote of the day. Kind of.
Ah, to live in the clueless dimension that Piven calls “home”. A place where time means something else other than what it really is and you ate raw fish 2 times a day for 20 years.
He sweated mercury? Can’t do it, it’s not humanly possible. Heavy metals stay in your body once they are ingested/inhaled/absorbed. Oh wait…unless he has been genetically enhanced with dolphin genes, maybe the scientists that did that for him figured out how to get mercury out of his entire nervous system and soft tissues.
Somebody PLEASE mash up a video clip of him talking, but instead of hearing his whiny voice dub in Flipperesque squeaks and clicks. That’d be worth some giggles!
Heavy metal does stay with you forever.
\m/ Dio Rules! \m/
Yes, it does Pasta!
Head bangers never die…..they just find another concert!
@Pinandpuller: Yoicks and AWAY, that was good. I was still thinking of the pants-crapping Cusack angle, but yours was so much better.
LOL everyone. And totaly Pasta, Iron Maiden is having probably one of their biggest worlds tour ever this year. Whooddathunk?!
Anyway, there’s his excuse for the bad math, he “kind of” changed his life. X-D
this guy is still relevant?
Well anyone he can “kind of” change his life, can “kind of” do math….or not
Iron Maiden, Hells Yeah. Now we are talking about something interesting instead of whiney Piven.
I wish Piven would start on a strict STFU diet. Like, yesterday.
There’s a place for a South Park reference in here somewhere…
Oh yeah! Ask Jeremy Piven if he likes fish sticks!
Did anyone see the Tonys? Neil Patrick Harris eating sushi onstage was priceless.

To be fair, Squid are not fish, AMIRITE?!?!?
