The Pivert Is Still In Deep,

Oh, Pivert.

You’ll never live this one down, will you??

Speed the Plow producers are now filing for arbitration to settle the “mercury poisoning” incident which caused Jeremy Piven to quit the play with little to no notice back in December.

Piven is now claiming his mercury poisoning was not from sushi, rather it was an “illness stemmed from eating fish twice a week for 20 years.”

O rly???

Is that the story now?

After Thursday’s hearing in which the Actors’ Equity union was unable to reach a unanimous decision, they have decided to bring in a professional arbitrator to decide the legitimacy of the Entourage star’s quick exit from Speed the Plow.

“The grievance went as expected yesterday. The grievance committee (made up of League and Equity representatives) did not rule for either side and we will be filing for arbitration as provided by our contract,” the producers said in a statement released yesterday.

We think the Pivert’s time might finally be up!!
