Jeremy Piven Needs Help Recovering Cell Phone from Toilet

Remember how Jeremy Piven quit the Broadway production of Speed-the-Plow "because of mercury poisoning from eating too much sushi"? Turns out he's back on the chopsticks again, and getting so bent off the stuff that he's tweaking out in sushi restaurant bathrooms. The Post says he was restricting himself to vegetarian rolls on Saturday night at Chicago sushi restaurant Sunda, so maybe it was the sushi DTs that caused the Rush Hour 2 star to drop his BlackBerry into the toilet. But that doesn't explain why, instead of fishing it out for himself, he summoned staffers to pick the phone out of the toilet for him. You can't blame that on sushi withdrawal; that's just Piven's signature douchiness!

I love this guy. My favorite was when he was at some sort of red carpet thing and someone tried to stuck magnets on him to see if they would stick because of his mercury poisoning. Brilliant. He really is Ari Gold.

Let's hope those staffers didn't have to wade through the Piven rolls to retrieve that phone. The only thing more disgusting than this jerk is what he leaves behind...from his behind.

Blackberries suk and their owners suk even more. IMO, too dignified a death for the "I can't wait two seconds for my email" smart (ass) phone.

BTW, I know how to spell s__k. I went to public schools when everybody was paying their fair share of taxes.
