Jeremy Piven faced quite the gauntlet at last night's Globes: a press pack hungry to douse him in soy sauce and eat him alive, plus his aggrieved former Broadway costar, Elisabeth Moss. It was the first time he'd met the media since advancing the much-pilloried sushi excuse, and for the most part, h...

Though Jeremy Piven's ungraceful, sushi-related exit from Speed-the-Plow has at least secured him future savings on his Matsuhisa tab, he may part with that extra cash if the play's backers have their (angry) say. According to the New York Post , many involved with the production are pushing to have...

Incredible resources were deployed to figure out if Tom Brady is marrying Gisele Bundchen and to get Condé Nast's Chuck Townsend wherever the hell he wants to go, in style. Patriots quarterback Tom Brady supposedly proposed to supermodel Gisele Bundchen aboard a private jet and is now engaged. Lite...

As so many stories wind down for the holidays, it's comforting to know that the new developments in Jeremy Piven's Sushigate scandal are even more delicious than the soft shell crab roll at Matsuhisa.

But ...

I’m not too familiar with the directorial works of David Mamet. I know him by his reputation as a writer, where he has been responsible for such impressive scripts as The Untouchables and Glenglarry Glen Ross. So Redbelt marks the first film I’ve seen where Mamet is at the helm, and it didn’t ...
