Piven -- Fishing for Sympathy

Jeremy Piven is in the deep stuff with his ex-producers after bailing on his Broadway show, but he's still sticking to that mercury-poisoning tale.

He tells Fox News he found he had a heart rate of 47 and his mercury levels from eating too much fish over the years was "off the charts." Piven says he's smoothed things over with his ex-co-stars, who were not at all shy about sharing their displeasure with JP publicly.

Meanwhile, it was unclear whether Piven ate the entrée at last night's Golden Globes –- sea bass.

20. His mercury story is about as believable as the line he fed Sherri Shepard about not recognizing her when he dissed her and her child on a plane a few weeks ago.

He's a loser. He doesn't like to mention that he was on "Ellen" -- as if he is somehow above that? But I guess it's clear that he's in some sort of insecurity-driven denial about many things...just check out that rancid roadkill he has covering his bald-assed dome.

Yeah, we can all see that you're bald, tubby. You're a bad joke.
