The hard-partying Jeremy Piven has abruptly quit the Broadway revival of playwright David Mamet's Speed The Plow.
His reason for quitting? His doctors claim he has high levels of mercury in his system.
Is Mercury the new street word for coke? Maybe Heroin? I can't keep up with all these pharmaceutically approved street names, you know.
A spokeswhore for Mr. Ari Gold says that although he wanted to continue in Speed The Plow, his doctors advised him against doing so.
If he did consume a high dose of Mercury,aren't there antibiotics you can take for that?
Mamet says, "I talked to Jeremy on the phone and he told me that he discovered that he had a very high level of mercury. So my understanding is that he is leaving show business to pursue a career as a thermometer."
Thankfully, the production will continue through February and Jeremy will be replaced.
I'm curious as to what famous place will take over the role. Or will his understudy step in?
P.S. It's only a matter of time before we hear Amy Wino using this excuse.
