Jeremy Piven has been banned from all Nobu restaurant outposts following some snittish behavior at Matsuhisa in Aspen. Seems like the soy sauce wasn't the only thing that was salty that night! Ka-PLOW! In your FACE! Oh HO! TouchÈ! Believe it! And so forth!
Today, the New York Daily News shared this harrowing tale:
. . . the Entourage star had a similar showdown with a hostess at the restaurant off Vine in Hollywood. Piven, who did not have a reservation, was reportedly unhappy a table could not be found because the restaurant was booked solid on Valentine's Day.
"Believe it or not, he used the 'Don't you know who I am?' line," laughs the source.
"He proceeded to berate [the hostess] about her treatment of him." Piven allegedly left in a huff, "but not before slamming her about her working in a restaurant," says the spy.
On Sunday, they recounted a more recent story involving Mr. Piven getting a hurty vagina at a Nobu offshoot restaurant, from which he is now banned:
"[Piven] was asked never to return to Matsuhisa in Aspen by a manager. He came in with a large group of 12 or more without reservations and asked for a table. It was a very busy night, but a table, although cramped, was provided. On his way out, he made a nasty comment to the manager: 'Thanks for nothing.' He left a DVD of the first year of 'Entourage' to one of the waiters. [An employee] ran up the stairs and hurled it at him as he was leaving."
Does Piven carry his entire filmography on his person, doling out DVD copies all around in lieu of tips? If so, the Matsuhisa waiter should take the gift of Entourage season one as the highest of compliments. That's like a solid 30% tip. Had the water glasses lingered half empty for a few moments longer, Piven would have peevishly left a copy of Very Bad Things, and were the plates not cleared in a timely fashion, it would have been an angry double bill of Chasing Liberty and Serendipity.
