This week in Page Six Magazine, a story entitled “Is Jeremy Piven the biggest jerk in showbiz?” asks the rhetorical question in a four page article.

From the article:

“Since ditching Broadway after announcing he had mercury poisoning from eating too much sushi, some in Hollywood, the theater community and the media are finding it hard to swallow his fishy story. But is it because the excuse is so unusual—or because his bratty reputation precedes him?

Page Six Magazine writer Annie Karni reports that Jeremy Piven doesn’t always take kindly to direction. At a September Page Six Magazine photo shoot to promote his starring role in the Broadway revival of Speed-the-Plow, the actor was in a foul mood. “This isn’t my first time on the merry-go-round,” he shot at a staffer who asked that he pose for a traditional headshot and make eye contact with the camera. “You want mediocre? I can give you mediocre.” He mocked the crew by grinning like he was posing for a DMV shot. An hour later, Jeremy didn’t want to give mediocre anymore. He popped his collar. He ducked under the photographer so that the camera would catch him at a height-enhancing angle. Letting out a gutteral moan, he ripped the sleeves off a $350 Giorgio Armani shirt.”
