We’re pretty sure that the only people who still watch Entourage are the same dudes who are stumbling around today saying, “Duuuuude, did you see Jane’s at Lolla last night? They rocked. Or at least I think they rocked. I was sooooo fucked UP, man.” But apparently Jeremy Piven isn’t aware of his increasing irrelevance and thinks that he deserves some mad props for being an ac-tor. Mad props from one of the guys in A Night at the Roxbury. Piven and Chris Kattan were backstage at an MTV talk show (please don’t ask us for details on such things; we’re not fourteen) when Kattan decided to get “funny”. According to The New York Daily News, Kattan said:
“So, what are you here to promote, your Broadway play?”
Piven, who famously dropped out of “Speed the Plow” in December, is in a legal battle with producers who believe the actor fabricated his illness in order to get out of completing his contract, and was none too happy to be reminded of the incident.
The actor sniped back irritably, “Well, what are you here to promote? Mango?”
Says an insider, “After some back and forth, Jeremy said something really personal to Chris that basically attacked his career. He said ‘Whoa, man - I thought we were just fooling around here.’”Our source adds, “Jeremy slammed the green room door right in Chris’ face, and about 20 people in the hallway outside could hear him yelling obscenities. He was furious.
“Chris felt really badly about the whole thing, so about 15 minutes later he tried to approach Jeremy again to apologize, to tell him he was just kidding and that he didn’t mean to offend in any way. But Jeremy wasn’t having it at all. He slammed the door in Chris’ face AGAIN.”
What happened between those two door slammings? Did Piven emerge, shriek “You’re just so mean,” then run back to his dressing room to reapply his mascara?

pivens a bitch. used to like him but now he should just take his hairplugs,annoying koreon gangsta wannabe and just disappear.
Having to drop out of a Broadway play because you ate too much Nobu. If that isn’t a first world problem, what is?
Whatever happened to gentlemen settling their differences with a good old fashioned duel? I mean, loaded pistols at ten paces would solve a lot of problems. It would also employ a lot more trauma doctors, but that’s to be expected.
I HATE NURSES!!!
