JEREMY PIVEN, HOSPITALIZED
Posted on Dec 20, 2008 under Actors, Drugs | No CommentSo is “mercury poisoning” the new Hollywood codeword for “exhaustion?” Which is, as you know, the codeword for too much partying, drinking or drugs?
Just kidding!
Dr. Carlon Colker said the alarming levels of mercury in Piven’s system stemmed from his fetish for sushi and Chinese herbs.
Chinese herbs? What kind of herbs are they?
According to his doctor, “He’s disappointed that I had to pull the plug. But I think he’s hurt more by the comments that he’s not trying or that he walked away. He’s been working straight for 30 years. He doesn’t walk away; I tore him away from it.”
Awww, poor Jeremy.
Dr. Colker added that Piven’s mercury levels were “almost six times the upper limit of normal and allowable. It’s the highest level I’ve ever seen.”
Riiiight.
