Celebrity Justice
Sushi-Gate Is Over -- Piven Off the Hook

Posted Aug 27th 2009 4:21PM by TMZ Staff

Jeremy PivenAn arbiter has finally ruled in the never-ending saga that was Sushi-Gate -- and agreed that Jeremy Piven did not violate his contract when he bailed on his Broadway play.

In case you forgot -- Piven dropped out of "Speed the Plow" after he was diagnosed with "mercury poisoning," which he claims was caused by eating too much raw fish.

Producers thought it was just plain fishy and filed a grievance.

Lesson here: Ari Gold always wins.

10. It's usually tough to side with a blowhard like Piven, but I saw video of him shortly after he bailed out of the play and the guy's face was lime green. Either he was sick or his make-up artist was going for a zombie motif.
