Jeremy Piven Shows Us How Hollywood Rolls: On The Cheap, Being A Creep
 
Should we even be reporting news on Jeremy Piven? He’s a parody of all things cheesy about Hollywood. If I read a story about him showing up on Valentine’s Day at a packed chic restaurant without a reservation, demanding a table, and when turned down, barking at the hostess “Don’t you know who I am?” and then berating and belittling her for working at restaurant I wouldn’t even be surprised!
What? He did that? Well, then that only leaves one thing left for him to do, like say bullying his way into a high end foodie establishment with a party of 12, no reservation and then leaving only a copy of season one’s “Entourage” as a tip. Oh, check that off too? Sweet mother of pearl!
The NTP reports:
He 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.”
I’m not trying to judge here, but could Piven be more of a total douchebag? I’m no moviestar, but hells if I ain’t about ten times as classy as this guy. When I leave a tip, it’s something the waitress will be talking about to her grandkids. I can hear her now,  ”One time this lady came in with her two screaming brats. They were throwing food and one of them punched an old man in the face and the other one tripped me and I dumped hot soup on a cripple, but they left me a 20% tip. Can you believe it? That lady changed my life?”
Yeah, that’s how we roll in Ohio. Respeck!

I am thinking the older is the puncher, the younger the tripper. That’s my wager, anyhow. You keep showin’ the world how to roll, MS!
What a first rate cocksucker this guy is. “Don’t you know who I am?” Actually, that would be a “no.”
One of the local radio wonks around here tried that routine at a local establishment. Moron.

You can almost imagine a radio person wanting to remind people who he is, being that he’s on the radio. But if a movie/tv personality can’t get star treatment it’s likely because he’s a dickface.

Man, I somehow hold out hope that this story is flat out untrue. I love Piven movies, and from what I’ve seen of him in “real life” he seems pretty damned humble, the working actor made good.
He did start complaining recently that his longtime friend John Cusack was all jealous of him, and now this. So who the hell knows?
I work on the periphery of Hollywood and the entertainment industry so I can say that it is one weird-ass town.
